<P>In the beginning, html was <B>all</B> <BLINK>uppercase.</BLINK>.
I don't remember when or why it turned lowercase. Anybody remember?

Also, apparently it didn't have an <HTML> tag.

Interesting choice of board members for the new Mastodon US not-for-profit. Inasmuch directors influence the direction of the project towards their areas of interest, it tells us something where they are planning to go. https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2024/04/mastodon-forms-new-u.s.-non-profit/ “I am in shock that a lawyer stood in the U.S. Supreme Court and said that a president could assassinate his political opponent and it would be immune as ‘an official act.’ I am in despair that several Justices seemed to think this answer made perfect sense.” https://newrepublic.com/article/181032/supreme-court-trump-immunity-sealed-fate @J12t @heidilifeldman  @J12t these elite fucks are acting like this is a game without consequences. They have moved from their private cigar and scotch parlors to implement their plan Achievement unlocked: highest dose in the allergy injection regime. Status: itchy. Next steps: now you have reached this achievement for the fourth time in your life, can you maybe manage to stay on the level??!? And then you go through the ActivityStreams standard (which is one of the standards the #Fediverse is built on) and find your own name in the Acknowledgements section. Among what looks like 1000 other people. But nevertheless ... "Save complete Web page". Firefox: Garbled. We have a winner. This is a very entertaining story about Enshittification, written from the inside of the enshittifier. #google #search /cc @pluralistic According to a 3rd party quoted in Business Insider, #Threads is now surpassing #Twitter/#X in a key metric. In April so far, "Threads has averaged an estimated 28 million daily active users, ....a roughly 55% increase in DAUs from December" "X has averaged 22 million DAUs, a usage rate that's 21% lower than Threads." https://www.businessinsider.com/meta-threads-more-daily-us-users-twitter-elon-musk-x-2024-4  We are thinking of hosting a periodic "Welcome to the Fediverse! Ask your fellow developers anything!" online meetup. Many people are now looking at developing for the Fediverse, as this week's announcements show, and we know it can be daunting to get started. Maybe other developers can help? Thoughts? “ActivityPub is a lot like email, and Ghost already supports email subscriptions. This means we can use the same interface to support both.” @johnonolan is doing the exact right thing here with “merging” the email and Fediverse subscription experience. Probably from first principles — which I very much agree with — because almost nobody else does. Kudos! Happy with @feditest progress today. Amazing what progress you can make if you have the luxury of focusing on something!! Hive mind: take a video-conferencing tool like Zoom, Jitsi or Google Meet or such. Imagine you built it in some kind of "#fediverse-native" fashion. What would that look like? Seems like you'd have some kind of (public or private) group that you sign into with your fediverse handle, and then you can follow the group. There is no separate chat. Your video name is the same as on your fediverse profile. Perhaps public meetings would even show up as live video in your follower's timelines? Ideas? Washed out a bucket in the backyard today. By the time I was back 10min later to refill it, a spider was merrily weaving a web across the top. A strategic mis-assessment of the situation, dear spider. Somebody is building a low-latency pipeline from #security advisory to attack by means of #AI right now, I'm sure. https://www.theregister.com/2024/04/17/gpt4_can_exploit_real_vulnerabilities/ How to broaden what comes on the table for dinner: Help, the Bok Choi is growing much faster than I want to eat the same recipe over and over again. What else can we do with it? @J12t You can also make the paneer in a pressure cooker from milk and vinegar I created an account on post.news a long time ago but never used it. Now, with the pending shutdown, I took another look. It's striking that it basically looks like Mastodon. Plus a few extra features like payments. Why did they not implement this as an add-on to, or fork of, Mastodon?  @J12t Same! And agree. Yet looking at the posts, the users are mostly moving to Spoutible or Bluesky. What’s with that? @J12t Payment processing is built around high certainty.  @J12t Because the whole point of post dot news was VC trying to round up the journalists into a playground they control, to make them feel important and keep them away from democratized sources. Hey @beaware.live, we don't have an allowlist, just a blocklist, so there's nothing special you need to do here for a new instance 🙂 |
