There's a lot of activity around forge federation, including search. @dachary recently compiled an overview and collected future plans..

@Gina a friend of mine is Turkish and born in NL she lived only 2.5 years in Turkey from age 3.. that was enough to never get these right again. Also helpfully Dutch folks don't correct you, so you might learn. For the expats who took the effort to learn, but still speak broken sentences, we 'helpfully' switch to English.

@GrassrootsReview @OpenScienceFeed

One is not the same as the other. Are there plans to indeed consider #ActivityPub here? I mean there's huge potential to bring such new domain / app type to the #Fediverse or interconnectivity AS/LDN vs. AS/AP are different approaches.

@aral @Bigolbootybuttcake

I advise.. go for the 5th state of optimism :)

Just take the current situation and add your 2cts positive contributions wherever you can.

@cy that is cynical take. Maybe warranted for some W3C open standards, idk, but the authors of #ActivityPub are fedizens that have spent blood, sweat and tears and countless hours volunteering for the community and the commons to help make the #Fediverse what it currently is.

It is now time for others to take over and bring the fedi to a higher level, building on what was established before. This is a problem as most people work on their own apps, less on making the ecosystem more accessible.

@cy I admire your passion to make the Fediverse a better place, and gladly invite you to SocialHub community dedicated to improving the ecosystem and evolve the interoperability and open standards.

The activity of the community has unfortunately waned, and we can use all the help we can get to get more collaboration and cross-pollination going. There's tons of work to do as you rightfully observe and only few volunteers spending some of their precious time.

@cy don't know about the particular spec snippet, but think you will find the authors *way* beyond n00b level.

@dajbelshaw

Yeah, isn't that great. We say it jokingly but seriously.. some proper study into this effect might likely show a real positive influence.

Btw, did you consider you were de-radicalized instead? Some quite radical dogma's we took for granted eradicated, blinders removed, looking at the world with new eyes..

Totally agree @dansup and your project efforts and steady updates are hugely appreciated!

Also, besides helping smaller projects with onboarding (which is too hard for newcomers), there's also work to do to take #Fediverse as a whole to the next level. Improved standards, clear best-practices, more seamless integrations, and new, different application types that interoperate together. Right now apps evolve, while there's the risk that fediverse stalls.

The opportunities exist now. Collaborate!

Hi there new fedizens..

If you have a nice personal weblog, then you may consider adding it to a #Fediverse #Webring 🤯

https://fediring.net/

(No, that is not old-fashioned. It is, euh.. vintage, hipster 🤔 I don't know these words)

@donkey the problems were so widespread in our 20+ group, that halfway through the meeting we switched to #Jitsi and it was a breath of fresh air. A really polished UI and everything just worked. The speaker was worried to switched, had never used Jitsi, but its basically "click URL and go".

@toastal @fleshroots

Example: You use Github Projects. Another person wants to use Trello.

That means you either choose one or the other, or have an ongoing copy/paste operation going on.

Enter federation.. no longer. Everyone just uses their tool of choice.

@django @fleshroots @toastal

#Kanban is on the roadmap of the @bonfire project.

@toastal @fleshroots

Well, federated code forges to be more precise. So all the add-on stuff that #Github, with help of countless vendors having native GH support, tries to lock us into on their own platform.

@toastal @fleshroots

So by extension many other different but related devtools might be federated as well :D

Likely shows the influence of Paul Frazee who joined Bluesky as protocol engineer, formerly of Beaker Browser and DAT project, which is now Hypercore protocol.

@jonatasbaldin thanks!

I've mentioned this on awesome-humane-tech issue, for considering adding a separate "energy efficient" category to the curated list.

@jwildeboer @aral

Why is it never an opt-in? 🤒

"How do I prevent my wireless access point from being collected?

Mozilla's client applications do not collect information about WiFi access points whose SSID is hidden or ends with the string "_nomap". If you would like to prevent your WiFi access point from being reported to this service, you can rename your SSID to append "_nomap" to the name (eg, SSID "MyWirelessNetwork" becomes "MyWirelessNetwork_nomap") or configure your SSID to be hidden"

@jon there's a public chatroom at https://matrix.to/#/#hostea:matrix.batsense.net

All prep work is done in public.

@csddumi this can be a very handy tool, thank you!
