@evan TIL, forerunner. I guess there's a slightly alternate timeline where you're called Evan Vaptistis.

@aeva @cwebber @Greg

I'm not even sure how to fnd the license chooser from https://creativecommons.org these days. But I endorse playing the track, period. It's very good @suricrasia

@evan gracious of you and Misskey developers, thank you. (Use of word gracious because I thought your https://cosocial.ca/@evan/116503475632266219 was crying for a version involving more wordplay but I couldn't come up with anything I was fully satisified with; this is a remainder.)

Sparking writing down idle question: what's the nearest to wpt.fyi and caniuse.com for AP? Naively searched and found https://socialweb.coop/activitypub-testing/ https://feditest.org/ and...

Ah, guess https://socialhub.activitypub.rocks/c/activitypub/testing/77 is where I should read more

@cwebber I don't care about logo but Carp has what even I can recognize as a beautiful logo.

On that note, I've not encountered anyone who doesn't acknowledge that GC is a way to achieve memory safety. But probably almost everyone has forgotton that GC was invented for Lisp.

But Carp does borrow what people mean by Rust embodying memory safety afaict.

and PRO aka @carlmalamud links to a good analysis https://official.resource.org/@carlmalamud/116360078868964159 https://www.rstreet.org/commentary/public-laws-private-paywalls-the-case-against-the-pro-codes-act/

My quick read is this version (vs one in last congress) has some minor improvements in substance and procedural strategy, making it a bit more likely to pass, but is still terrible policy that needs to be killed.

There are of course lots of terrible policy but this one is bipartisan and involves copyright and standards so may be of particular domain interest to some people here.

@evan that dwarf holiday in the moralizing religion belt? I remember growing up they had TV shows about it. My observational probes have moved on, but it seems others retain an emotional attachment.

@evan yay! Hazelnuts are great, perfect use of shade/understory. I grew a bush at a previous place in Oakland.

Fun/sad-ish personal trivia: hazelnuts were my father's last obsession (he kind of moved from hobby to hobby) before really going downhill. I heard many impromptu and unwanted lectures on their processing and use though he was a newbie and wouldn't acknowledge that I grew them first and consumed them all the time or that they are available in stores...

Trivia: enjoying the fair use asserting CC-BY-SA release (see credits).

In additon to agreeing with @cwebber's overall assessment https://social.coop/@cwebber/115232433012869918 of https://tube.systerserver.net/w/qVxqiScM2X59kkwM2NTRgG

@hiphopheaven I speed listened (great talk!) and my takeaway was @evan fully acknowledged the issue (making migration practical without a bunch of regexes [my extrapolation: server-side redirects to make more seamless?]) and (I'm very excited to hear) that fixing it is a focus for ActivityPub.

I see that there's https://swicg.github.io/activitypub-data-portability/ which I imagine is the place to follow (or even help)?

@cwebber I ran across that when it was posted to https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40072731 about 15 months ago. Not a lot of public activity since, but it looks like the Everything Open presentation referred to in that thread is now up at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uxoBW1bzYes

@cwebber amusing variation n in it is description:

**I DO NOT OWN ANYTHING**
Copyright belongs to it's owner.

@cwebber the moon gains on me

probably an incorrect reference but the thing (from "Wings" by the Fall) that my brain completes with perhaps because you're posting lyrics today

@evan lovely indeed! I don't think I knew about and now LOL'd at the “There you go, social networking.” paragraph.

Something made me look at identi.ca, appreciate that @evan keeps it running, leading me to write "dent" again, without quotes https://identi.ca/avilarenata/note/yCUFGZrpSEC55vSKTDgvBg

I was probably too optimistic and not clear enough (I _think_ "by 2025" I meant to to include 2025) in https://mastodon.social/@mlinksva/109283673247449829 but still think adding AP support to all historic social software is _at least_ a retrocomputing project that will happen at some point. ⸮Perhaps it should be someone's AI agent benchmark and happen sooner‽

Happened to notice that San Francisco is Q62 which made me wonder what other low numbers are; jokes abound (e.g. Triskaidekaphobia is Q13) including some I probably don't get https://w.wiki/DxcC

@evan I picked "Japanese Invasion of China" but slightly partial to 1931 instance as first major post-WWI invasion and end of League of Nations credibility.

But consensus (including this poll) of German invasion of Poland is pretty reasonable as point of no return in hindsight, and when term WWII began to be used at the time.

Tho also sympathetic to WWI never ended view. Synthesis: WWII began with the Russian Civil War (ideological component much more salient from that point on).

If unfamiliar with the issue https://www.worksinprogress.news/p/the-prophet-of-parking is a decent overview.

It notes SF Park, and I'll note that expansion has been resisted by yokels who should be banished to the wildlands. But, that may be changing https://www.sfgate.com/local/article/money-crunch-push-sf-transit-major-parking-change-20113851.php do it now!
