I now have the power to make my own espresso tonics in the office. Dangerous!

Today is my birthday.
This picture is from 49 years ago. 1975, summer, Eagle Cliff Beach on Bowen Island. That’s me being held by my mom.

re:Mix is a kitchen blender which you use with your own glass jars. It’s made in #Berlin and “open source”, and the intent is for others to build & sell in their local region.
This is a model I’ve been waiting to appear! Who wants to build in #Vancouver / #BC? https://www.openfunk.co/pages/re-mix

There’s quite a few people saying truly horribly things about Ryan Barrett, developer of Bridgy, who builds bridges between many different protocols, including now between ActivityPub and ATProtocol, the latter being what Bluesky runs.
I don’t fight about protocols on this account, but you can read my explanation on how to think about “bridge instances” on my other account.

@virtuous_sloth anyone that follows you, their server potentially caches some of your posts on their server
Depending on the server cache settings, it will cache your posts local to their server.
Our own servers cache for 7 days? @mick there's a difference between media and posts I think?
That other server a Pleroma install, a different but compatible ActivityPub microblogging server

Here's an example link of me on another server https://cosocial.ca/deck/@boris@toolsforthought.social
If you're logged into CoSocial, that will load my profile and you can browse the whole thing.
If you're not logged in, it should redirect to the remote profile (try it in an incognito browser window)
I guess Pleroma doesn't do that, but it SHOULD, precisely because of the indexing thing.

@evan this is a fairly tame weird beer by my standards ;)
There’s a brewery Superflux a few blocks from me that makes “heavy fruit” beers.
One of them was banana, peanut butter powder “stout”. The carbonation bubbles crawl through the liquid 😅

A picture of me cheers-ing with likely some sort of hazy fruit ale somewhere in San Francisco, Jan 27th, 2020.
Old glasses, and I look a younger and skinnier.
Cheers to a “good” 2024 everyone!

@evan right??? I kept this without knowing what the last bit said, and was going through older photos just now and iOS let me select the characters and translate it.

@tchambers There’s already the field that is visible from what tool is posting.
Mastodon search could be upgraded to show all posts made by Castopod.
Or, actually post of type Podcast rather than everything being a Note.
And blogs can post as Article.
Let’s not get stuck on what Mastodon can do and really exercise the ActivityPub protocol.

@devnull @leroy @nodebb @luceos @multiverseofbadness the Discourse team contracted it out but it is going to be an officially supported plugin AFAIK
It does a bunch of other things like adding in the ability to login via your Fedi account and link to your Discourse membership.
Replies via Fediverse get linked to the Discourse forum member when / if they link their accounts (so two way integration)
I’m excited for all the lovely ActivityPub Children ;)

@robin @ntnsndr @mmasnick @blakereid there’s a community plugin to embed a browser inside of #Obsidian.
I’m sorry / you’re welcome.

@thisismissem a co-op ;)
I don’t know that this needs to or should be labeled.
I totally understand that technically one might want to describe something.
But do we have labels for “working together” or other relationships, aka “it’s complicated” ;)

@thisismissem technically that’s a formal structure. But it may in fact be helpful in some cases for orgs to have formal structures like membership shares in a co-op.
I don’t actually think that’s going to happen other than in niche areas but it very much depends on the Fediverse server model.
A services org that specializes in hosting?
Are there moderation as a service entities?
There are a handful of co-ops that specialize in eg Wordpress or Drupal hosting and that’s about it.
