The EU patting their own shoulder via Gartner. Meanwhile, the W3C Data Exchange WG is drying out because the claimed support is not arriving there. But EVERYONE is using DCAT without supporting its development and maintenance. Which is a very European thing to do.
While NGI is a really nice & useful programme "a liaison" is NOT contributing to ActivityPub dear Gartner!
I still fully support NGI, but invite projects to really go into WGs.
Is it really, really, really, really, really, really bad that the publisher of the @washingtonpost allegedly counseled British government officials to destroy evidence in an official investigation?
“Nearly 2,000 children under five are dying every day from air pollution, which has overtaken poor sanitation and a lack of clean water to become the second biggest health risk factor for young children around the world.
“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
This smells like a real story. The headline says “mystery fundraising firm,” but there’s no evidence of a fundraising firm. There is a Delaware LLC, apparently a ghost or a shell—no address except a post-office box—that has received $3.1 million in Trump campaign cash.
@JamesGleick Trump has more than $600 million reasons to hide money: $450 +/- million to the State of NY & another $90 million owed to E. Jean Carroll. These totals don't include the interest that's accruing every day on those 2 obligations OR the money he owes multiple lenders waiting in the wings for the court monitor to dole out pmts on outstanding debt.
The registered agent for #LaunchpadStrategiesLLC is a big company that acts in this capacity.
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.
It's still a work in progress but i would really love to hear your feedback and ideas on that! Feel free to message me here or open a discussion on github repo.

@kenney Was just working on a scene with your modular building kit and needed more stairs -- looks like you got me covered! Thanks for everything you do!
any proposal to improve ActivityPub/Fediverse security needs to consider the fact that you cannot build safe systems where enforcement of consent is opt-in.
the world does not work this way.
pretending that it does enables the domestic abusers, stalkers, swatters, and other nuisances you are trying to protect users from.
you will get somebody killed with this line of thinking.
Stop telling me to use content warnings. I will lose it. If you’re bothered by my politics, then by all means mute me or one of the hashtags that I’m using.
I know you’re trying to protect yourselves and others, but all you’re effectively doing is asking an activist speaking out for their own survival to hide their fight behind curtains.
