As a first step towards adding Object Integrity Proofs (FEP-8b32) to #Fedify, I've made it support #Ed25519 keys. I've also enabled multiple keys to be associated with an actor. For example, if you look at the actor from the Fedify Example Blog (https://fedify-blog.deno.dev/users/fedify-example), you'll see that it has two public keys, one for RSA and one for Ed25519.
You can try it out in version 0.10.0-dev.190+4dffb89a.
Actors now have the #assertionMethods property, and the #Multikey class has been added. For example, if you look at the the actor from the Fedify Example Blog (https://fedify-blog.deno.dev/users/fedify-example), you can see that it has the assertionMethods property in addition to the publicKey property.
You can try it out in version 0.10.0-dev.196+55cc34d1.
Thanks to @silverpill, #Fedify is finally FEP-8b32 compliant! Though it's not ready for general release yet, it's passing tests in the latest main branch. I'll test it with Mitra and other FEP-8b32-compliant implementations, and if it works well, it'll be included in 0.10.0.
You can try it out in version 0.10.0-dev.205+0cbca257.
The Internet is successful and valuable to society because it is decentralised. I've signed an open letter to the United Nations that explains how some proposals for the Global Digital Compact endanger it. #OpenInternet
@mnot much appreciated, though as a casual observer of this development I would greatly appreciate some concrete examples of the proposals which have been deemed to be maligned with the open web.
@notjustbikes Just got back from two weeks in Italy. Spent less time in cars (two taxi rides) than I'd spent in years. High speed rail, local rail, subways, light rail and buses, and they were all great. The only thing I didn't take was a bike share ride.
The weirdest part is that the light rail sound from your videos has somehow become very comforting. When I heard the near identical sound from a light rail car in Florence, it sounded ridiculously 'right'.
🇬🇧Five more years of von der Leyen? Just look at what her EU Commission proposed in the past five years:
💥the end of private messaging and secure encryption #ChatControl
💥mandating unique citizen identifiers #eID
💥working group to resurrect indiscriminate #DataRetention#EUGoingDark
💥essentially unchanged online tracking & micro-targeting practices #politicalAds
💥legalising #Europol's unlawful bulk data collection practices
💥ultra-fast cross-border online content removals without court orders #TERREG
💥#biometricMassSurveillance in the #AIActgranting
💥industry access to our #healthdata without our consent #EHDS
Once again, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson is saying out loud just how corrupt and politically motivated the Supreme Court majority has become. https://masto.ai/@Nonilex/112685094145453092
it's often so complex to add #ActivityPub to an already existing platform (for example #WordPress ) and it gets even more complex if it is not built for social media 😱
For example
Deleting Users from the Fediverse, that still exist on the blog.
Delete the whole blog from the fediverse, but take temporary plugin deactivations/deletions into account.
@the_other_jon it's been a while since I used it (I don't really do road trips often) but it was fantastic every time I used it.
I just planned the trip using the web UI and then navigated from each suggested charger to the next one, and it nailed the SOCs within a few percent every time
"Growth" as a concept does not have to be viewed solely through the lens of Silicon Valley, venture capital firms, or capitalism in general. In the context of the network: some people here, myself included, want to see the network develop along enough to sufficiently challenge the status quo, and dethrone mainstream social networks.
For the #Fediverse to thrive, we inevitably have to bring in more people, new communities, and new ways of doing things. We need to build towards better concepts for user agency, privacy, and control. We need to also embrace the fun stuff that brought us here in the first place.
A non-zero part of Mastodon's user community has effectively modeled itself on a kind of social Puritanism that is super unfun to be around. It's gotten so bad that it's a meme at this point. Just imagine a stereotype of a stodgy librarian who tells you to CW your own lived experiences because they don't want to see it, and you're already halfway there.
There's this wild idea that any kind of commerce or barter, any kind of exhange between hands that isn't the most threadbare mutual aid, is forbidden and bad and going to make this place worse somehow. We're a network predicated on GoFundMe's and vast amounts of unpaid labor for hosting and moderation.
This seems exactly correct. I make computational art, and I write about the same technical topics that LLMs aren’t terrible at. But I genuinely don’t think I’m losing my audience to the latest gpt model. It’s not my skill as a coder or an artist that makes people care about my work, it’s the connection between the author and the audience that makes it work. I’m not stackoverflow, I’m a human being who shows herself in her work
@djnavarro exactly. I don’t read first and foremost for the beauty and flow of prose. I wanna know the author’s view; their opinion on the matter at hand.
LLMs are empirically devoid of any opinion, therefore I am thoroughly uninterested in anything an LLM has to say.
