@cambridgeport90 @jdormit If y'all know of other generic/extensible ActivityPub libraries in static language libraries please let me know. I am putting together a talk and want to be sure I have an accurate picture of the landscape, and I am not sure how up to date mayel's list of decentralized AP-based apps is.

Still no documentation and not anywhere close to done, but my #ActivityPub #PHP library is open source at https://github.com/pterotype-project/activitypub-php.

My goal is to provide a well-tested, flexible library that handles the complicated parts of ActivityPub (JSON-LD, persistence, addressing, etc.) in a way that can be plugged into an existing PHP codebase with no hassle. That'll help me refactor #Pterotype, and will also make it easy for other developers to make developers to make plugins for Joomla, Drupal, etc.

#CryptPad is an open source privacy-friendly alternative to Google Docs:

CryptPad lets you edit documents online and work on them collaboratively.

It uses a "zero knowledge" principle where no one else (not even the service provider) can see your documents unless you give them an access key.

Accounts are free up to a certain storage limit, with paid accounts for additional storage.

So there was a big protest today by schoolkids who blew off school and marched in the streets over government inaction on climate change.

The Prime Minister has said they should be less activist and focus on their schooling instead.

I just saw this sign. These kids are great.

Usually you have to pay £15 to join the #OpenStreetMap Foundation. But many people live in countries which are cut off from international banking, so the #OSMF has a new fee waiver programme. It's good to see it being used, with people from Iran, Kosovo and Liberia joing

Apart from PeerTube, which software that implements ActivityPub does have a group functionnality?
It's to discuss about a Webfinger group: query prefix, similar to the acct: query prefix.

Please stop using Medium. We know how to make fucking self-controlled blogs for a while now. Medium is a monstruous regression

I wrote a post about something in which I think lots of people on the Fediverse might be interested.

We're proposing to use 'Emoji ID' with #MoodleNet. This post is for a general audience, so doesn't go into much technical detail. I'm sure @mayel could help me out if people have specific questions.

Why is Free Software awesome?

Because it's fundamentally about sharing knowledge and empowering people. It is a culture of generosity.

I think it's important to remember this, because these are values I think everyone in the FOSS community shares, even if we quibble and fight about pretty much everything else.

But - by all means, speak up when you see things going wrong. Critics are, by and large, people who care enough to speak up instead of walking away. ❤️

it’s always better for screen readers and just people who may have issues focusing on text to capitalize the first letter in words in hashtags

rather than

keep making the fediverse more accessible.

@hirnbrot Absolutely.

Even if you don't plan on addressing the issue, respecting people's time seems like the minimum you could do.

There's a reason that companies who ignore job applicants for weeks at a time have a bad reputation.

In some customers service chat software the send button basically is a fake because the support agents can watch you typing in real-time anyway
