“Currently about 2/3rds of all Dutch children walk or bike to school, with 75% of secondary school kids cycling to school. By enabling safe and active travel, #Dutch cities prevent an estimated one million car journeys to school each morning.” — @modacitylife in #CurbingTraffic
Need to increase the number of people I'm following here - can I have some recommendations for indie software developers who regularly share things they're working on? Esp anyone working with Laravel, SQLite or local-first
The Fediverse is built on open standard protocols. Testing that implementations conform to those standards is important for interoperability. That's what we are working on with the FediTest project.
Here's a first draft report of Webfinger server conformance for almost 100 Fediverse applications. A total of 1615 tests were run.
🚨 INTRODUCING: a new in-progress #rubyonrails#activitypub engine that aims to make it able to add AP features to any Rails app.

The planned #chatcontrol makes the world less secure and more authoritarian, as it is directed against private and encrypted communication. Proponents are using disinformation, lies, and sleight of hand to push through the project. But chat control can still be stopped. A commentary.
🇬🇧 It's up to all of us now. Write a mail to you government. Share the call to action. Call your government during the day. Together we are the resistance. Stop #ChatControl!
Bluesky has reply-gating (you can set who can reply to a post, like people you follow or a given list or no one) and is now testing out post-publication reply locking.
