Their primary goal was creating a Twitter clone, ActivityPub can do that. The federation stuff is really just a toy part of it, as you can tell from the fact that PLC DIDs are still issued from a central authority. Or…
Something based on ActivityPub would be much more reasonable. I would not have nearly the same objections if it integrated with an existing ecosystem rather than carving up the already limited pool of people interested…
We already have those capabilities. My website has reposts on it. I just link to someone else's content from my Atom feed instead of something hosted on my own site. Then I attach a…
The difference is one uses W3C recommended web interfaces and the other does not. I make blog posts to my website using HTML, anyone can open them using a web browser. I can host those pages one of many static hosting…
You would repost a page by linking to it from your own. As for uploading content, that is outside of the scope of an indexer. The user hosts their data with some hosting service, or independently. I believe signatures…
You send a request to a web indexer with a page you want added to the network, it scans your page for outgoing links and sends an email to the owners of any domains who are also on the service. One can imagine making it…
There are invariably 3 solutions to all “federated” web problems: - Email - Semantic HTML - Web indexing services In this case, it's mostly indexing and a little of the other two if you want to add social features. I…
Ironic that people without imagination write a page using AI.
Email.
I dislike when people use the term “power” to describe making code slightly shorter to type. Operator overloading is not in any meaningful sense more powerful than a language which lacks it.
I think the better conclusion here is that most programming languages don't deserve Wikipedia articles. You wouldn't want one for every brand of screwdriver or kitchen appliance. Programming languages are likewise, just…
Suppose you wanted to make a Wikipedia article on a certain brand CNC milling machine, would that be useful? Not really. The only thing ever written about it is its own manual, and it doesn't feature notably with the…
Letting users pick their own passwords has always been a mistake. If passwords are needed, the system should choose them.
This could have all been solved if they added a setting for bread, pizza, or cake.
I've always doubted this stuff because I have some memories of things that happened when I was 2.

I will never stop singing the praises of plain HTML. It's accessible, it's portable, it's simple, but for some reason we need horrid JavaScript nonsense to operate.
POLAND MENTION!!!!!
Meditation from first principles.
I feel that Postel's law probably holds up the worst out of these. While being liberal with the data you accept can seem good for the functioning of your own application, the broader social effect is negative. It…
But it's not “lots of people,” it's everyone. Everyone has a picture of their face on their phone. And the information is encrypted because phones use disk encryption by default. “Someone can get a photo of your face…
The “hack” in question is pointing out that the app forgets to delete images of the user's face and ID (stored). A lot of people have pictures of their face already on the phone, and often their ID as well so this is…
She could have accepted the Email, then printed the documents off and said it was faxed. I highly doubt anyone checks.
Working for an organisation which systematically abuses and degrades disabled people is not a morally neural act. If you're life is difficult then that's sad, but not an excuse to exact that difficulty 100 fold on other…
I'm almost certain this is from the UK, and here we have a government that is absolutely obsessed by the concept of benefits fraud. Every real analysis has shown that virtually none exists, but it is a good excuse to…
