Ever heard of dev.io? Well, as they are #FLOSS now, I've suggested them to add #ActivityPub support: https://github.com/thepracticaldev/dev.to/issues/317

#devIo

@saxnot @thomas @nextcloud It'S https://github.com/nextcloud/client_theming/issues/86

Fixed in the beta, which has not been released yet.

@aral @charlyblack Did you read the links? They mention all the providers they have contracts with. Previously it was mainly only Google, now they've also have Bing, Baidu or whatever is most popular in the region. They also have a DuckDuckGo contract though, BTW.

But as for search engines, which whom should they make contracts anyway, still? The issue is just that most search engines track their users there.
But they've integrated many alternative search engines over the recent years.

@aral @charlyblack That claim is just wrong and not backed by facts. So here some:

In 2014 they canceled the Google contract.
Look at the graph in the CNET article: Reveneu ~$300M.

Now let's have a look at the 2016 stats https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/foundation/annualreport/2016/:

Mozilla’s consolidated reported revenue (Mozilla Foundation, Mozilla Corporation and all subsidiaries) for CY 2016 was $520M (US), as compared to $421M in 2015.

Only in 2017 or 18 they started the Google contract again.

@Aarkon Wie das grau der Tastatur exakt mit dem grau des hellen mastodon-Themes zusammen passt…

@aral @charlyblack That does hardly matter… They have contracts with other search providers, and they have shown in recent years that they can even live without the Google money (before FF 57, they had no contract with Google for some time.)

Also this has nothing to do with that API. :)

@juh @thomas wird doch am Ende erwähnt, dass es einiges anderes gibt. Da ein was zum Erzählen/Erklären zu nehmen, von einer Firma, die man interviewen kann und so ein bisschen die Story (aufsteigendes Unternehmen, was uraltes Protokoll nutzt) damit zu basteln, ist doch nun nicht soo schlimm. Es geht ja hauptsächlich dennoch eindeutig um RSS.

@charlyblack @aral

BTW there seems to be an experiment with protocol WebExtension APIs in Firefox soon (see https://github.com/mozilla/libdweb#protocol-api). You may aim to get this whole thing as a "usual" WebExtension into Firefox instead of forking FF as a whole new browser. It's also way easier to adopt & enjoy then!

@beli3ver na und Wecker-Apps gibt es doch genügend (?)

@beli3ver what? you have no time? 😉

@beli3ver would likely violate their TOS or so…

But there are many apps for just recording way, distance, speed, etc.

@CrazyMyra @Gargron Actually I just found the bridge and find it really useful.

It's not so much a federation between Twitter and Mstodon, as it actually just recommends your friends, but rather a "find your friend" on Twitter (migration) assistent.

As such, it should always be introduced/linked for beginners. When you want to switch, you want to have your followers, too. That's kinda the biggest hurdle you have to handle as a beginner.
