@nina_kali_nina Now, why a full page was ~exactly 4 times as large as Quarto used in books?

Most likely this has to do with how books printed are bound. Each printed sheet going into a binding process is is actually 4 pages of the book: Front and back of that page plus front and back of the another page that is then folded and stitched together in the binding process. Modern presses actually print much larger sheets and then they are cut up before going through binding processes but even 125 years ago they probably printed the sheets and cut them apart because it was cheaper/more efficient.

@aral Not all billionaires are bad people, nor are all VCs. Capitalism isn't entirely bad either, it just needs to be held in check. If somehow Bluesky and Activity Pub can peacefully co-exist, this is a good thing. Neither is perfect but prying open walled gardens is beneficial to all of us.

@cwebber Hello, this is Bing. I can help you with your questions. blush
ActivityPub is an open, decentralized social networking protocol that allows different websites to communicate and share content with each other. It is based on the ActivityStreams 2.0 data format, which defines a standard way of representing social activities and objects on the web.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ActivityPubhttps://seb.jambor.dev/posts/understanding-activitypub/
Federation is a concept in which multiple independent entities (such as websites, organizations, or countries) form a union or alliance for a common purpose. In the context of ActivityPub, federation means that users on different websites can send and receive updates from others across the network, without having to create accounts on each site. This creates a more diverse and open social web, where users have more control over their data and interactions.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fediversehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federation

@jerry Maybe it should be Lemming instead?

On second thought, I don't think Moderation was ever something Lemmy was known for.
