@tchambers@strypey Proposals often compete with each other. But they are not curated, and all competing proposals may reach the FINAL status (which simply means that proposal is reviewed by the community and no further changes will be made).
The measure of success for a FEP is not the FINAL status, but the number of implementations. We're currently trying to figure out how to properly gather and present this information to the readers.
🇪🇺 Major moment at #NGIForum25! Thibaut Kleiner, director #DGCONNECT at the European Commission is delivering the keynote that's setting the strategic direction for Europe's digital sovregnity and future.
"We started the #NGI community 10 years ago. My message is that we are also at a stage where we need to move on. We need to go to the next stage. We want to go from communities to products and that's why we introduced this concept of Open Internet Stack," said Thibaut Kleiner.
@laurenshof because for the enforcement is like they are moving one issue at a time
right now they are focussed on the pay or okay and the workshop probably will show them the view of people who want to interoperate
it's a slow process but it keeps moving
not that it will change the fact that we should just abandon whatsapp anyway lol
also i feel like that the trump administration kinda slowed it down, like we don't want to poke the beast too much (kinda cringe, but i recently discovered that we have gold reserves in the states so maybe we cannot adopt the tariff war like the chinese did)
@laurenshof@1br0wn We agree the latter is ultimately the only important thing.
The @EUCommission should be taking enforcement action against Meta and the other gatekeepers’ self-serving decision to limit DMA benefits to European residents.
@box464@renewedresistance Hmmm. So did I do something wrong, or do I need to do something additional to make @renewedresistence@piefed.social findable and followable?
@jeremy@davew I appreciate all the work done on this front, but in all earnest can’t point what’s wrong with the good and old classic editor (which I use to this day). It’s fast, easy to use and reliable, and from my perspective faster and easier to grasp than anything related to React, Calypso, or Gutenberg. What am I missing?
Custom protocol handlers would be cool if they're built into every browser, and they always work. But that's a dependency that's brittle, and breaks too easily.
FB wins b/c they have one coherent system that all works together. The Fediverse loses b/c it requires far too much technical knowledge. That's the bottom line of Tim's posts.
So, keep up the fight for custom protocols. But let's also do the things we can *right now* that don't wait for Apple, Google, and Microsoft.
I do believe that it's part of ActivityPub, because that's exactly the usecase: there's an object you're currently seeing and you want to interact with it.
I'm no AP dev, I have no experience at all, only armchair ideas so my goal isn't to say what you're doing is bad; quite the contrary, you're building stuff so you'ro certainly more relevant ! I'm just commenting on the sidelines.
The thing I like about the idea of AP is that it is about manipulation and exchange of data structures, whereas the APIs are about RPCs. I like that because it makes my data more portable, less dependent on an implementation or an instance.
What I would love to see is the AP concept more widespread for interacting: - when I see content I want to interact with, my user agent can pick the object url in the http headers and/or in a <link> tag if it's presented in an html document - my user-agent allows me to send AP activities, optionally linking to object urls
This obviously requires changes in the browser (which is where Mozilla should put its brain but that's another discussion), but can be first done in an extension. Bonus: it works for *all* AP implementations @tchambers
@benpate@rakoo One other question: would @Vivaldi be a browser that could do this first? They use #chromium as base but build on top of that…would this be a feature they could support on top of existing chromium or would it need to be built there? cc: @jon@brucelawson
