Q: Has the ActivityPub Vocab been updated since May 2017?

We know @Gargron does not support the LISTEN verb. Hope they update their support.
We are testing the READ & ARTICLE verbs for blogs, the ANNOUNCE verb for new episodes and the BUY verb for payments like tickets or merch.
I'm thrilled to announce, especially on the occasion of the #Fediforum, that @medlab is launching an Open Social Incubator.
Our mission is to support a cohort of community builders who could use extra support in getting to know and learning to use open social tools.
Participants will receive $3,500, hands-on support, and a peer community.
Please spread the word! Learn more here: colorado.edu/lab/medlab/2024/0…

Cyberpunk 2077 gets AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution 3 with Frame Generation
Cyberpunk 2077 fans on Linux desktop and Steam Deck might be quite happy about this latest update which adds in some new performance features.Liam Dawe (GamingOnLinux)
I tested it during yesterday on Linux. FSR3 is actually slower for low FPS scenarios (raytracing 30fps) but amazing for +60fps scenarios.
Much better resolution and frametimes. The frame generation option feels lile butter.
Also, the dynamic resoluton option of FSR3 doesn't impact frametimes negatively anymore like FSR2. Which is amazing.
"The machine also dealt with its human interlocutors in polite and empathetic terms, in contrast to the scorn sometimes heaped on conspiracy theorists in real life."
Fascinating (but pay-walled) article on how chat #AI can influence people away from conspiracy beliefs. Humans are messy and subjective. Is an opaque summary machine more reliable and more engaging when it comes to discerning truths?

#PPOD: This stunning photograph captures the most violent moment during an eruption of the Calbuco volcano in Chile. Volcanic lightning occurs in the plumes of eruptions when volcanic ash particles collide, generating static electricity. Additionally, water vapor in the plume condenses and freezes as it rises, adding ice to the mix. And voila! The eventual electrical discharge causes lightning.

Every company is going to use AI, both traditional machine learning or generative AI. Articles decrying this is like articles complaining about companies making products in factories with machines instead of by hand.

Unity cancels the stupid Runtime Fee gamingonlinux.com/2024/09/unit…
Unity cancels the stupid Runtime Fee
After a complete disaster a while ago that saw many developers jump-ship, and cause a huge PR problem, Unity have now cancelled the Runtime Fee.Liam Dawe (GamingOnLinux)
loosening their fishing nets for now, I guess.
I think this whole ordeal angered me personally because learning a new engine and APIs means dedicating so much time that you learn a new way of thinking.
If a company then uses that to trap an entire community, in my opinion that's just evil.
