@dalias @glyph My guess is that the next move is DHH being invited to give a keynote on the next neovim conf

@evan @thegarbagebird @Timo_Micro @alice The OP is right that having to put a generic tag in your public profile to opt-out is not a good way to implement opt-out.
- The opt-out is pulbic information
- There is no granularity. You either reject all services that use the mechanism or not.

It would be better for tags.pub to have an actor that one can block/mute to opt-out

@silverpill Sorry for being imprecise, I meant the response as the response body, not the entire HTTP response. I'm wondering if having white-space sensitive JSON means one can't use JSONB to store the response.

What I'm trying to understand is if the HTTP signature is useful to provide a way for users/clients to verify the integrity of the activity, similar to how sha256.sum is used in software distribution.

Question about HTTP Signatures in #ActivityPub, IIUC the header is a digest of the HTTP body. Given that JSON is not white-space sensitive, does that mean that storing the response must preserve the indentation used by the server?

Glad to see things like search and discovery #FASP, although it doesn't seem like FASPs are being modeled with an #ActorModel or #JSON-LD in mind. Another thing I'd like to see implement is federated search (#sparQL has prior art)

I already held Eric Raymond in the worst regard (and him calling integration tests "front-end tests" does not help). But they are now trying to upstream LLM-assisted code into #Emacs and they are upset they can't do it all in one go.

> I know, but I've been systematically auditing the code for those
using chatGPT 5.5, which is very good at that kind of deep dive.
It tells me I've covered almost everything that can be tested in
batch mode in my 42 patches.

I really hope that Emacs takes a stance against LLM generated code sooner rather than later.

The idea of #HolosSocial brings the opportunity of #SelfHosting to those whose only computer is the phone. Pretty cool! #GlobalSouth

@evan where is the source code for that site?

@evan Question regarding

https://www.w3.org/events/meetings/71e56a4f-7cbf-49c5-aa4a-f4d3158c3a4d/20260424T120000/ Was this the meeting? It seems all the events show as cancelled. Is that a bug? Are they open to the public? Are minute meetings available?

@csantosb Lei que el juez permitio que el juez permite que sin especificar causa LaLiga pueda pedir blockear IPs, es eso cierto?

scratch that. simple.el does implement goto-line. Why do people re-implement it? compatibility with old emacs versions?

Takes dedication to implement something more complex that
(defun goto-line (lnum)
(save-restriction
(widen)
(goto-char (point-min))
(forward-line (1- lnum))))

#emacs doesn't ship a goto-line function. M-x apropos goto-line shows several implementations. But I was surprised to see avy's implementation https://github.com/abo-abo/avy/blob/933d1f36cca0f71e4acb5fac707e9ae26c536264/avy.el#L1750-L1784

@HaraldKi It is not riddles, it is a mistake as acknowledged in https://mastodon.social/@PuercoPop/114269945473188483

That said, that point about people re-implementing still stands. ej.
avy-goto-line, org-goto-line[0], sly-goto-line[1], go--goto-line[2], etc.

@cwebber Over at lobsters, @brandon_rhodes shared a thesis from 1996 about wearable displays. The students are using Emacs as well. Emacs has a long tradition of Cyborgs! https://lobste.rs/s/lnxbxa/diy_foss_cyborg#c_qr3sm5

@waider @jwz Illuminant is the NNTP to ActivityPub gateway you can run today! https://koldfront.dk/git/illuminant/about/

@jwz there is work to do in both sides. The client can focus on the UX for uploading and viewing image objects. But also they can and have extended the object types to better suit their use case. Ej. The Story object type. I also imagine that a set of images could be its own object type, but afaict Story is the one only pixelfed specific one

One of the things I like about #mastodon is that one can follow hashtags. It might not be a foolproof method but it is a more transparent way than algorithm heuristics to see posts from people you don't follow. The user is still in control!

apropos now, might be a good time to follow #emacsconf get hyped!
