what's non-forest-destroying palm oil then? Btw environment to the side, it's the shittiest quality oil for human consumption. Do your body a favour and stop eating that shit. On the environment side of things, more info on #ClimateTown youtube.com/watch?v=roIOgtrjFG…

Hey, @Samuel Smith! I found this in my files. Look at the painting the character is making. It's your nuclear tree!!!


#SCOTUS just let #Trump take an ax to scientific #research. Justice Jackson's blistering dissent: "By
today’s order, an evenly divided Court neuters judicial review of grant terminations by sending plaintiffs on a
likely futile, multivenue quest for complete relief... With potentially life-saving scientific advancements on the line, the Court turns a nearly century-old statute aimed at remedying unreasoned agency decision-making into a
gauntlet rather than a refuge."

This is a fantastic intro to the open social web tech under the hood of the Bluesky app.

I know folks here are sometimes apprehensive about what the Bluesky PBC is building, but I think it's worth understanding why a whole bunch of nerds like me are excited about AT Protocol, even though we also cheer for, build on, and spread the word about ActivityPub.

@mackuba does a great job of simplifying complex ideas, and I highly recommend giving this a read.

in reply to Anuj Ahooja

It's an intro to AT Proto. I don't see how calling it an intro to "the open social web tech" is helpful, since there is no such thing--there is ActivityPub, and there is AT Proto, and they are distinct protocols. An intro to one is not an intro to the other.
in reply to Eugen Rochko

@Gargron "intro to the open social web tech under the hood of the Bluesky app", i.e. intro to that open social web tech which is under the hood of the Bluesky app
in reply to Kuba Suder • @mackuba.eu on 🦋

I am usually a careful and attentive reader, but even I struggled parsing that sentence correctly. What purpose does the "open social web" serve there except marketing Bluesky as part of it?
in reply to Eugen Rochko

@Gargron I think we have two different definitions of "the open social web." I consider any open social protocol that enables cross-platform interop (and cross-protocol interop for that matter) as a part of that umbrella.

ATProto, therefore, is open social web tech in the same way that ActivityPub and Nostr are, based on that definition.

@mackuba

in reply to Eugen Rochko

@Gargron
curious gargron, how do you define 'open social web'? is it activitypub, activitypub+atproto, activitypub+atproto+whatever else? i dont think theres a correct or wrong answer here, just that im seeing different people define the term differently, and wondering where you fall
in reply to Laurens Hof

@laurenshof When I was using the term a relatively short period a few years ago, it was a less technical term for "the fediverse" to me. However, as soon as people started using it as an umbrella term for multiple incompatible technologies I moved back to using "fediverse". "Open social web" perfectly describes the abstract goal of where we want these technologies to take us, but it is too broad to be useful when talking about the technologies themselves in my view.
in reply to Eugen Rochko

@Gargron I too have started separating "the Fediverse" from other protocol-based networks, like "the ATmosphere", but also say "open social web" as the combination of these spaces. I'm not sure anyone has *decided* if these terms have formal meanings, but I'm more than happy to use specific terms if we all ever align on them!

(I doubt we ever will, but I guess the chaos is kinda part of the fun?)

@laurenshof @mackuba

in reply to Laurens Hof

@laurenshof Well, Threads is part of the fediverse, whether people like it or not, it natively speaks ActivityPub. Should be in that left corner.
in reply to Eugen Rochko

@Gargron @laurenshof What even about diaspora and those other protocols? We need to understand what the Fediverse was, and revive what it truely was
in reply to Eugen Rochko

It does not natively speak ActivityPub. It can optionally bridge to the Fediverse. Its core codebase is not “an ActivityPub server” and does not internally use AP objects for everything.
in reply to Boris

@bmann.ca @laurenshof By that logic, Mastodon is not "an ActivityPub server", since it does not internally use AP objects for anything. By that logic nothing speaks ActivityPub "natively". Of course, in reality, it, like Mastodon, does speak ActivityPub natively. I can request a Threads actor and receive the JSON-LD directly from the Threads domain without any bridging services.
in reply to Ted Han ★ 韓聖安

@knowtheory.net @bmann.ca @laurenshof I’m confused by your use of “then”. What in my statement relates to bridging services? If you need a bridge to communicate with something, then it doesn’t speak the protocol natively. If you don’t, then it does.

Avoid an occasional freshly baked real Italian style Pizza, are they mad.

That contains olive oil is topped with Mozarella Sardine fillets herbs.

It gives me strength to carry on.

If they wrote do not eat factory made frozen cheapest chemical crap, processed foods american chlorine spiced chicken hormone beef etc. I could have agreed.

I mean no person should be treated differently because of their skin color, ethnicities, origin country, language or whatever, what matters it's the character.

As I said on my own feed, I can play some old games on Linux via proton that won't work on windows even if you change compatibility mode. Linux is actually better at running old windows games than windows is. Strange times 😀
