just discovered @podverse, an podcasting client that is #floss, on iOS and F-Droid and active here on the #fediverse

wakest ⁂

@podverse they have inline embeds to specific parts of a podcast working on mastodon already which is pretty damn slick

does anyone know why there seems to be so many anarcho-capitalist Russians? I would like to read a study in this.

@liaizon reactionary backlash to the USSR maybe?

Christian Pietsch 🍑

@liaizon Look at their history: What has the state ever done for them? They have always been suppressed and exploited by a tsar. They have never experienced the benefits of democracy.

@liaizon i'd love to read some writing about it from russians but i guess living through USSR and post USSR would explain a lot towards that.

@liaizon top comment surprisingly positive about fedi!

just came across @mro's request to @nlnetlabs for funding a new #fediverse software called #Seppo meant for single user instances

NLnet Labs

@liaizon @mro We are NLnet Labs, an open-source software development company (nlnetlabs.nl) and not NLnet, a foundation that funds those with ideas to fix the internet (nlnet.nl).

@liaizon I remember there being a single-user ActivityPub server called microblog.pub, not sure how actively maintained it is these days:

docs.microblog.pub/

the article by the Atlantic that had reached out to me about the #dweb movement was published:

theatlantic.com/technology/arc

It features quotes from @mai of @compost and @ntnsndr about the blockchain/cryptocurrency takeover of decentralization terms

sadly no mention of the fediverse at all. they never followed through after they arranged a time and date to interview me so I didn't get a chance to evangelize our little bubble over here

Too bad! You would have been an interesting viewpoint.

@liaizon @mai @compost @ntnsndr not sure, but i got the sense that the deadline was moved -- we had one call and were going to do another, but then she dropped me a note saying that she had to file soon.

it happens!

#friendlyenemies kinda sumes up all the #mainstreaming articles about the #openweb who can't see outside the #techshit so add to the problem of #techchurn

Compost the lot comes to mind.

anyone know where @cj of github.com/go-fed is? I noticed their website is down and there is no activity on their github for 9 months. I see they posted something in June about maternity care so maybe they are just offline with baby care duties.

@MediaFormat pinged them (socialhub.activitypub.rocks/t/) cause the #activitypub test suite is down as well and it seems like they might be the one who has the keys...

@liaizon @cj @MediaFormat

I had asked @rhiaro a while ago without luck.
Then I tried via fedi
[CJ: we all miss you :)]

Apart all devs I spoke to said that the situation with the test suites is maximum unfair.
Analysed all broken links in the specs. and only implementations <2016 are on the “official” results page.
Meanwhile we are in the middle of doing the nice assignment which resulted of fedicamp.
Also meanwhile I communicated that digitalcourage can give a server for the test suite (thankful for that but seems to be “officially” unwanted).
Anyway, also the various github issues remain unanswered, tried to sum up at least some duplicates

@liaizon did you eat any? apparently they are not poisonous but taste horrible.

went to a talk about shaders and GLSL at #f0rthsp4ce tonight in #tbilisi and ran into some people afterwards who had tried out the fediverse for a while last year but got annoyed with it cause they couldn't figure out how to find content that was interesting to them, when I told them I would give them a little tour sometime they all seemed excited by the idea

wakest ⁂

I think we have a lot to figure out. and the people who this place works for are a very special subset of humans that the chaos of this place makes sense to. not to say any other place has a model that is good but I really feel like the fediverse is the start of something really important and I want to do all I can to push whats good about it forward and to release the things that are not helping us. I think the name is one of the first things that needs work tho.

@liaizon it’s “бабушкофон”, without “ов” ;) But yes, that’s a thing! My babushka has a бабушкофон x)

wakest ⁂

thanks to @virtuallight for pointing out that I was using the possessive form of the word. its #бабушкофон (babushkophone) and the 'ов' (ov) is is the possessive like (the phone'S big buttons)

hanging out at f0rth.space (a #hackerspace in #tbilisi) and brought a little task to do while socializing. all the lightning cables me and @lake have been traveling with have the same issue of the insulation breaking up at the ends so I reinforced them all with some layers of heat shrink

@liaizon @lake when will Apple learn about strain relief

I was looking up #федиверс (#fediverse in Cyrillic) and the second image on google is this bizarre painting from a pretty good article that explains the fediverse in #Russian:

(I read it in english thru iOS auto translate and it did a perfect job, ai is doing wonders on language barriers these days)
