I'm disappointed to see quote posts on this disabled.

I think this paradigm is so vibe based that it's hard to know what you're committing to as a user. I'd love to hear if y'all have user research around how this works for users in practice

👻HaunTed👻★ 韓聖安 @knowtheory.net · 22h

This thread is basically why I gave up on ActivityPub. The lack of ability to build sharable structured data means you cannot innovate without solving a gnarly coordination problem.

It's a problem I'd hoped to tackle down the line with Mozilla Social, but alas. But then ATProto also exists. So.

Emelia @thisismissem.social · 22h

So a funny thing people in the ActivityPub world love to hate on is AT Protocol's lexicons, claiming they make interoperability between different software harder.

Meanwhile a new TikTok like platform just joined the Fediverse. Guess what object type they use for federation! Is it going to be Video?

The quote sharing feature in publications running on @leaflet.pub (like my blog) is very cool. (See below.) Just highlight text in an article, click "Share to Bluesky," and you get a link with the preview image showing the highlighted text.

Wow, wow, wow. This has always been legally possible but the law has virtually never been enforced — and now this is the SECOND case I've heard of in the last month (first involving a person with a green card) of a noncitizen being charged for failure to carry their papers.

Yeah my grandparents phone numbers were written down next to the phone so I knew how to call them, since they were in a different area code.

I think it is a coincidence that short term memory is 5+/-2 and that north American numbers are a 4 digit line and a 3 digit exchange number.

Gonna tell my kids this was the real Dunbar's number.

If anyone needs me I will be in the museum, lying down next to the bog bodies.

Did people really memorize phone numbers before cell phones, or is that just a movie thing?
2? Questions
I was watching some old shows from the 90s and noticed people would just dial numbers from memory - like they'd call their friends or family without looking anything up.
Made me wonder if that was actually normal back then? Did people genuinely have all their important numbers memorized, or did most folks keep a little address book or written list nearby?

I guess that implies that I think the sentiment doesn't appeal to non-binary people. I just mean the protector thing leans into both momma bear stereotypes and Luke male dominant stereotypes

👻HaunTed👻★ 韓聖安 @knowtheory.net · 1d

I'm impressed with how gender neutral that hat is. Or perhaps strongly gender-binary affirming?

I both meant it's been a while since I read Caesar's dispatches, which I thought were cool (tho propagandistic). Also the the Aeneid is cooler, but poetic verse, and not relevant to your point.

I think we gotta fight now? But I gotta warm up cause it's been a long time since I read the original Latin.

Also what about Virgil my guy? The Aeneid is awesome
