In response to Bray’s toot, Evan Prodromou — one of the creators of ActivityPub, who is currently writing an O’Reilly book about the protocol — noted that this “is also the argument for using the ActivityPub API.” He described the API as “an open, extensible API that can handle any kind of activity type — not...
“ActivityPub’s API is how client applications interact with the data on a user’s main account server. It lets the user read data on the same or other servers, and it lets them create activities and other kinds of objects on that server that get shared (under the user’s control) with the rest of the world.”
I can't see how Apub's C2S API can realistically be implemented. It's fairly light on details and if I'm understanding it correctly the only standard way to get activity from the server is to pull from an actor's inbox, which has to be an OrderedCollection of all the activity the actor has received (likes, notifications, posts, the lot). This shifts a lot of the work to clients which, apart from being being very classist, is very limiting for implementations.
I honestly don't think that's it. I think something screwy happened with this poll, but I can't find it to verify. Seems Hovis only released this to the press.
Lollypop, it's a bit dated in terms of design for a GNOME app but it has all the features you could want. Can't comment on playlists though, I have never used playlists and honestly don't get the point of them.
Cain appreciated the performances and storytelling, but singled out how the show nailed the Fallout "vibe" as its biggest achievement. "I was just looking at all the props," he said of one scene. "I realized after a few minutes went by that I had not followed the dialogue at all, because I was so engrossed by it visually."...
I really enjoyed the show, it was good. I just wish it didn't take place in California. I hate that Bethesda's idea of Fallout is a wasteland in never-ending strife, one that can never move past the scrappy survivor stage of the post-apocalypse.

Oh, you're right, I misinterpreted the article. Well, this seems pretty pointless then, who cares if the explodey bit is 'sovereign' if we can't get it where we need it.

This is the pull request that changed the behaviour, for the curious. They changed it because deleting the comment entirely broke a lot of stuff, like viewing replies to deleted comments.
Unfortunately there isn't much you can do if the server goes down. I'd suggest setting up the communities on another instance and try to get people to migrate to the new one, like what !android did.
This is just pure defeatism and an excuse to not put in any of the hard work needed to make things better. If this was true, the right-wing ruling class wouldn't spend billions on trying to influence your opinions and fostering this exact type of hopelessness.
In 2022, Daniel Pryor, then head of research at the Adam Smith Institute think tank, warned that any tech-savvy teen would likely be able to circumvent restrictions, while adults entering their details stood every chance of being exposed in the event of a data breach.
Can’t believe the Tories have got me agreeing with the Adam Smith Institute.

I’m not saying that these, or remakes generally, are bad(I’ve even been thinking of picking up the DS remake). I just don’t think they should be contenders for GOTY.

continuing to ensure some single-sex services and places could only be accessed by biological women.
Can we talk about how stupid the phrase ‘biological women’ is? Like, are trans women robots or something? And why is it put in unchallenged while gender dysphoria gets scare quotes?
Also, it’s so depressing that something Theresa May proposed has become too left-wing of a policy for Starmer and his Labour Party.
Its brush engine is kinda bad though. You basically have to turn on “Zero pressure at both ends” and put the stabiliser up to like 15 to get anything usable. Not sure I can recommend it.
It’s main advantage, as far as I can tell, is having a much simpler interface. It’s snapping tools are trivial to use and discover, but far less robust than Krita’s assistant tool. It’s easier to add brushes, but you have far less options in configuring them. I don’t thinks there’s anything that Firealpaca can do that’s partially hard to do in Krita. Also, Firealpaca doesn’t have a dark mode.
I’m not an experienced artist though, so take my opinion with a grain of salt.
