@Infoseepage this is a real problem. My kids are getting to the age where they should be able to go to school or visit a friend by taking public transportation, by themselves. I know that most people with mental health issues are harmless, but this unpredictability is hard to ignore. It makes me distrustful of the commons.

I am on a bus and some guy two rows in front of me is talking to himself (apparently about jalapeños?!) and french kissing some ghost sitting next to him.

It is the type of thing not rare to be seen in Berlin, but nowadays it seems to be a daily occurrence.

@manualdousuario

Eu sou da opinião que nem tudo precisa ser traduzido. Médicos e cientistas sempre emprestaram palavras estrangeiras para descrever as coisas quando a lingua original não é concisa o suficiente. Teimar em uma tradução literal em 100% dos casos é um tanto xenofóbico. (ironia, acabei usando uma palavra que vem do grego)

Isso posto, diria que "Incompatibilidades com versões anteriores" é a expressão mais sucinta que faz algum sentido.

@manualdousuario

Ia implicar contigo e dizer que "alterações de quebra" é uma tradução completamente sem sentido, mas puta merda parece que esse termo é usado nos manuais traduzidos das empresas americanas.

Pior a emenda que o soneto. Nota zero pro escritor que teve o desleixo de colocar isso no papel.

@silverpill @phnt

So doesn't it mean that, in practice, your objection to the FEP is purely about your personal preference?

@silverpill @phnt

What is the practical difference between having to agree on the meaning of "Type + verb" vs "VerbType"?

@evan then I don't accept the premise that "human cloning technology has been rejected". Is there really strong backlash against in-vitro tissue/organ synthesis?

@evan

Aren't you talking about cloning of a whole individual?

@evan what type of product or service would be enabled by being able to create human clones?

@evan

I think the answer has more to do with good old Capitalism than the technology itself. It is a lot easier to amass and deploy capital at scale for "AI infrastructure and automation" than it would be for cloning.

@evan

I know it's not an option, but I'm guessing "none of them", because what would be the point for them? They are all too focused on replicating their closed counterparts

@_elena @evan

Is this DWeb you are talking about: https://dwebcamp.org/berlin-2026/ ?

And thank you @evan for the ADAPT name suggestion. :)

This started as a #getfedihired post, but ended up a little bit too long for that...

In short, I'm looking for a company (or companies) that could be interested in investing in this vision for the social web. Please spread around.

@silverpill

The crux of the issue is that we shouldn't need to talk about "your FEP" when we are talking about "servers focused on implementing the ActivityPub API". The spec as is *is enough*. You are moving the goal posts by pushing a definition of "generic server" when it doesn't need to,and you are creating a "No True Scottsman" by saying that implementation X, Y or Z is "incompatible" with ActivityPub API.

@trwnh @mariusor

@silverpill

> I think FEP-1b12 Announce is not compatible with ActivityPub. It has different side effects, doesn't update shares collection.

Why?

Updating the shares collection is orthorgonal to the behavior expected from a Group actor that claims to support 1b12.

Sure, you can say that if the server does not update the shares collection, it's not fully compliant with AP APi, but there is nothing a Lemmy server to add every activity to the shares collection.

@mariusor

@silverpill @mariusor

> The behavior of Offer activity is not described in ActivityPub

You can still take the document and place in the target inboxes, leaving to the *client* to figure out what to do with it.

You don't need to describe the specific case if the general case (activities must be placed in the target inbox) is enough.

Is this your objection when you are talking about "Generic Servers"? Because if that is the case then I can definitely argue that my server is it.

@silverpill

> generic server needs to maintain collections.

If you are talking about "any arbitrary collection beyond followers/following/inbox/outbox/shares/likes". I'll disagree with you.

@julian @mariusor

@silverpill

> But then you want to introduce context collection. And then 50 other extensions. How to do that without special-casing every one of them?

You don't! An extension is an extension. A Generic server only needs to support the base protocol. Extensions are optional, not a requirement.

@julian @mariusor

@silverpill

@mariusor

Also, reading FEP-aea97 and I don't see anything there that my modest little server made with a "dynamic language" doesn't do already.

And It's not even like what I am doing is novel or incredibly diffiicult. If you spent a little time embracing RDF and JSON-LD, you could take a look at what Vocata did and you'd see how easy it can be implement the AP API.
