Not all is well when it comes to the standard itself. Since #ActivityPub became W3C Recommendation there's not been much further standardization.

notes.smallcircles.work/_FF2CK

Missing parts were created ad-hoc, informal conventions formed. You can learn to interop by checking countless codebases, fragmented communication and some sparse dispersed docs. There is much #ProtocolDecay (tech debt).

Recently #Fediverse Enhancement Proposals (#FEP) process picked up: codeberg.org/fediverse/fep

Does @elk require Mastodon 4.0? I can't login to Elk using my account, maybe because Qoto.org is still on Mastodon 3.x?

@johncarlosbaez This is maybe well-known, but a related factoid is that 3 unit regular tetrahedra fits inside the unit cube:

Aristotle claimed that identical regular tetrahedra could be packed in a way that fills space. It seems unlikely if you actually try it - but only in 1925 was it proved impossible. And only in 2010 did people prove a nontrivial upper bound on the density of the packing you can achieve, namely

0.9999999999999999999999974

On the other hand, the densest known packing has density about .8563 - there's a discussion and picture on Wolfram's website:

We didn’t try to directly copy our Logseq plugin for Obsidian, we wanted something that would feel more natural. Because Obsidian is page based instead of block based we decided to allow importing the full content of a page in markdown format.

My wife (@illustratorjulia) made me a screensaver #illustration for my Boox #ereader. How cute is that. It’s the whole family!

Does someone know about argdown.org/ syntax and has some ideas on how it could be related (implemented) to tools such as the Obsidian Canvas or Logseq Whiteboard?

Wow! "Get YouTube Captions" plugin for now automatically adds timestamps you can click on to jump to the corresponding time in the embedded video. @logseq

I want to be thinking bigger. "All software is free software" seems within reach. I think we can have a sustainable software ecosystem in which all software is free software and all participants have bread on the table.

I am exploring Logseq now that it has progressed. Even though it looks really nice and simple. Something I’d use if I wasn’t invested in Obsidian.

But, what reason is there to use Logseq besides Obsidian?

Every time search gets a bit easier, whether it’s because of a new algo or a UX breakthrough, somebody will proclaim that searching will supersede browsing or curating.

@ck @deavid @aral @cancel Capitalism cannot self-regulate. The U.S. missed the point where government could regulate capitalism and now capitalism owns the government. The goal of capitalism was never competition, but monopoly and domination.

Some facts I want people to know about the #LunarNewYear !

1. I'm really glad to see more people/corporations using #LunarNewYear instead of just #ChineseNewYear. CNY should of course be used when referring to that particular event, but not every culture celebrating Lunar New Year this weekend are celebrating Chinese New Year.

2. In particular, we Vietnamese people celebrate a holiday we call Tết, which is what we call our Lunar New Year.

Not nearly as annoying (scope wise) but same pattern: declined my invite of #tana. An innovative #pkm system I really like to explore but. ...
Please sign up with a Google account.

Really? A personal knowledge system in which I put all kinds of stuff .... behind a Google authentication and build upon a Google cloud.
