honestly the W3C was a mistake too

@luciferMysticus @LottieVixen

in essence, it's so you can compose larger JSON objects with derivative knowledge. in practice, it's useless W3C bloat.

i tuned out when i found out the guys who made this garbage want to use it to embed a fucking blockchain in every browser called the "Web Ledger"

@LottieVixen @luciferMysticus

so as an example, you could have

{left: 2, right: 2, "@context": "addition.json"}

and this could be expanded to

{left: 2, right: 2, "@context": "addition.json", addition: {result: 4}}

@luciferMysticus @LottieVixen

JSON-LD is type annotations for JSON objects basically. there is also support for expanding the annotated JSON objects to include sub-objects from referenced IRIs.

but in practice, the JSON-LD "compression" only elides the semantic annotations and derivative data, so you can just interpret the JSON objects normally without having to bother with JSON-LD.

which is basically what mastodon does in practice. so, that's "good enough" for me.

@LottieVixen Linked Data. it's basically a port of RDF/Turtle to JSON from XML.

it turns out that in general i can just pretend JSON-LD is not a thing when doing activitypub comms though.

i am sure some webshit will be like "but this isn't compliant with JSON-LD"

and i am sure i will be like "but I don't give a shit"

JSON-LD was a mistake

@hellojed seems like Darwin at work honestly

arm is a fucking ghetto

@daggertooth i have a quad e7 server with 1TB ram that refuses to boot right now, would that be interesting? :)

eshu: the first activitypub server to actually run on a raspberry pi

amazon ec2 setup is too annoying. maybe i just go get an SD card and raspberry pi

i wonder how i can just provision an alpine vps on ec2, that seems like a good way to go for garbage tier

anybody know of a low-end provider doing Alpine vps? I want to test my activitypub server under the shittiest circumstances

nothing makes me want to vomit more than remembering that time Kaskade made a christmas album

"you could send your credit card info in 2 or more emails if you wanted"

how about no

i'm not a techbro. i don't fuck around when it comes to money. i don't care.

i sure love doing business with techbros.

techbro: "we don't have USD funds in our bank right now"

me: "okay, send it by paypal instead but if there's any scams, i'm shutting off all servers and telling all of your employees to quit and go update their resumes"

@Elizafox that sounds horrible for security
