@Downes Thanks! I guess I've always presented it (e.g. at the ALT conference) so haven't thought about it as a standalone deck. Will have a think.
Thanks for the comments! 🙂

Question: if you went through this slide deck without any context, what would you be puzzled about? What's missing?
It's for a general audience, some of whom might be educators while others are sysadmins or PHP devs.
I find it pretty unbelievable, given the number of people who work from home in this day and age, that anyone can rock up with a big drill outside your home without prior notice.
Work in progress: A standalone #fediverse #activitypub bot, hosted on https://glitch.com and written with #node #nodejs.
You can import it to Glitch from http://github.com/fourtonfish/glitch-fediverse-bot.
More updates, like support for images and replies are coming soon, for now you can play with the #tracery example.
It's been a long time since I wrote a post on the blog, but the occasion deserves it. I have a new job! And one of our goals at @moodlenet is to make the world freer and less dependent on large corporations #ActivityPub https://alexcastano.com/moodlenet-more-than-a-technical-project/
@noeldemartin Cheers, will check it out!
@TheWayneGibbons Cheers, I'll take a look 👍
@captainbland Awesome!

What's the best thing you've read this year?
It's that time of year again. I'm absolutely fine from March to September and then October comes from nowhere and kicks me in the teeth.

I wrote the above five years ago. Since then, I've put even more stuff in place to try and stave off these feelings. But still, every year the Autumn wind brings with it a gnawing feeling of inadequacy and despair.

Your RSS is grass: Mozilla euthanizes feed reader, Atom code in Firefox browser, claims it's old and unloved - https://www.theregister.co.uk/2018/10/13/mozilla_firefox_kills_rss/ - "Feed previews and live bookmarks are used in only about 0.01 per cent of sessions" - that seems like quite a few to me?
No one person can do everything,
But everyone can do something.
Open source software needs good design because good design respects you, the user.

Crumbling online discourse and the role of decentralisation as path to agency for better discourse https://www.zylstra.org/blog/2018/10/disintegration-of-discourse-and-decentralised-tools/
@dajbelshaw @laura following up on your post on 1-person instances, I blogged about disintegrating discourse and decentralistion https://www.zylstra.org/blog/2018/10/disintegration-of-discourse-and-decentralised-tools/

@jgmac1106 @jalcine @jgmac1106 I think that's going to for sure work for a subset of more technical users. Can't see everyone using it though. The advantage of federated systems is that it's low floor / high ceiling.
In other words, anyone can sign up and get started, but it's also endlessly configurable and extensible for more advanced users.
