@ademalsasa @praveen I will hold off and share that then. I need to get the dcglug mastodon account set up, it will make it easier to share.

@zleap thank you very much for telling me that, Paul. And I am currently writing a more comprehensive post as well about this at #UbuntuBuzz thanks to @praveen's suggestion.

@ademalsasa I will give this a mention, perhaps on the DCGLUG blog it may have more reach than my personal blog.

@info_activism I think the fight back is starting and it is going to HURT big tech.

Finally :)

Never forget how Oxford wanted to open source their vaccine but the Bill and Melinda Gates foundation stepped in and AstraZeneca got exclusive rights. khn.org/news/rather-than-give-

@4ioskd@ukadon.shillest.net @theprivacyfoundation I think they suggested as a way to promote something is to suggest it here and ask for feedback on here.

That suggestion was in relation to something else, but it works in this case too, if there is interest it helps when approaching providers as there is evidence more than one person is interested, but you ask through 1 person, which is better than 50 people sending 50 e-mails. I think.

@4ioskd@ukadon.shillest.net So further to my previous short reply. As @theprivacyfoundation suggested
if anyone would be interested in Tutorials on Activity Pub or contributing / creating some perhaps answer here and we have more weight behind getting in touch and asking

@peertubesocial
Hi just wondered if you were aware of what seems to be an issue with Firefox and Peertube.social

Not sure if this is due to the way I have tried to embed a video or something else. Just thought I would raise this, as a question.

Seems the other video (also on peertube) is not affected by this.

dcglug.org.uk/federated-social

I have attached a screenshot of the error and one showing my Firefox version

@4ioskd@ukadon.shillest.net Cool i was just asking as ActivityPub is one of the main protocols that make the federation work, however there may be info on this already from

activitypub.rocks/

So a good idea to link in to that to save repeating information.

@theprivacyfoundation I think it comes down to supply vs demand, employers demand people have certain skills, it is one sided as not many people are even aware free software exists let alone the fediverse.

So the Good things foundation will provide courses, they are also a charity so reply on funding, which is linked to outcomes etc.

Lets see if we can work on something that can change the narrative @4ioskd@ukadon.shillest.net has made a good start with courses from ProtoSchool on how the fediverse protocols work.

@4ioskd@ukadon.shillest.net So do these tutorials make mention of Activity Pub directly ?

@freemo is it ok to have more than one account from the same e-mail. I am looking at setting up an account for the Devon and Cornwall Linux user group. Probably be a bot account which I can announce meetings and other stuff from time to time.

Thanks

Paul

@4ioskd@ukadon.shillest.net No problem, thanks for your support, it is nice to see the see these resources. Will share further.

@4ioskd@ukadon.shillest.net I have added the post for tomorrow/

@pluralistic Indeed you also end up with an accountability issue, who is at fault,

Build tools in house ,if the team screw up, then they answer to their employer. The boss answers to shareholders and customers.
