"Immigration is a positive good. We're fortunate that so many talented, ambitious people want to come here to work and raise families. Biden’s program to help undocumented spouses is a step forward. But Dems should do more to push back on Trump's hate."
Today is a personal highlight because I was a guest in one of my favourite podcasts @techwontsaveus talking about tech in Europe and the topic of innovation.
It's been such a treat to get to speak to @parismarx, hope you enjoy it as well.
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.
"The best thing that can happen is that they die a natural death and, in doing so, create a minimal amount of harm to the community. That's ultimately how this is fixed."
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
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.
