@futurebird Right now at my house the ants are doing a great job making it all about them all by themselves

@evan ok. Now I have to write an activitypub server. This is good. I have an idea for a couple FOAF schemas I made long ago: https://www.perceive.net/projects

@evan Did you ever consider adding FOAF into ActivityPub?

JavaScript was a mistake.

@thomasfuchs ok so now I’m baking some peanut butter cookies

@thomasfuchs I ordered one simply because the hardware is adorable and hopefully I can put Linux or something on it. lol.

@evan I like the basic premise but I don't like telecom companies being that gateway for some reason

Well I can't unsee that.

@patrickcmiller more accurate headline “Consumers decide heated seat subscriptions are a bust, BMW decides PR backlash isn’t worth the extra money”

@thomasfuchs @danhon @amyhoy absolutely - I brought it up because I used it for some architectural photography and missed autofocus 😊 (oh also the aperture is manual too, natch)
