Oh yeah I’d love to see tech being incorporated more into learning! I learnt more history from playing Civilization 1 when I was 9 than I did in any of my years of primary or secondary schooling.
I’ve also been inspired by the idea of VR as a teaching tool ever since I saw this Simpsons episode.
We have so much better technology options today, yet it feels like we’ve not utilised them at all. Paper books have been replaced with chromebooks, whiteboards by smartboards, and that’s about it. The same function but in a slightly more convenient form, such wasted potential.
This was my first attempt at making farinata. It could have used a little more bake time but it was great. It’s simple but full of flavour I would definitely make it again and experiment with toppings.
What have I done?! My abomination of an idea of bridging my email and ActivityPub progresses. If you see this message, something is working! Comments replies are welcome as it's a good test of this system :) People keep saying ActivityPub is a lot like email. If it's so similar to email, could I use my email client to interact with the fediverse? Previously I did this by writing a SMTP interface to the Mastodon HTTP API. That worked. But as we probably know, the fediverse is not Mastodon; it's really ActivityPub. The real deal would be working with ActivityPub directly, not the Mastodon HTTP API. And that's now (mostly?) working! In shonky diagram form, sending looks like this: laptop --SMTP--> my_server --ActivityPub--> fediverse Replies look like this: fediverse --ActivityPub--> my_server --SMTP--> mailbox <--IMAP-- laptop my_server translates back and forth between ActivityPub messages and mail messages. For example given the message: Date: Wed, 6 Mar 2024 16:37:59 +1100 From: Oliver Lowe To: [email protected] Subject: test 2 test hello world! The following ActivityPub message is created: { "@context": "https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams", "id":"https://apubtest2.srcbeat.com/outbox/1709703480070628170", "type":"Note", "name":"test 2", "to": ["https://aussie.zone/c/localtesting","https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams#Public"], "cc": ["https://aussie.zone/c/localtesting"], "published":"2024-03-06T16:37:59+11:00", "attributedTo":"https://apubtest2.srcbeat.com/actor.json", "content":"test hello world!", "mediaType":"text/markdown" } There's still a lot of bugs (of course) and unimplemented bits (of course). I can't call this a proper fediverse service yet. I'm going to roll with this for a bit and see how it holds up.
But if you can keep spamming our (heh) a new site for like 99c a domain name, you could do this a lot despite getting banned.
The alternative is something like FediSeer where you can get sites guaranteed by others and block anything not given the all-clear, but that really harms the ability for new sites to appear.
But more reason to hate European arrogance. Imagine if i could go to say your blog, comment my name and address, and sue you for not going into your database and scrubbing it all. Just another way to benefit big companies at the expense of individuals who dont have the tech skills to comply but want to run their own personal sites.
It is, which is why you have the RIGHT not to use a public space and push your information out to millions of people. You explicitly agreed to it the second you started doing it.
And if it didn’t? If it’s just a simple piece of software made by two people? Should they drop everything to cater to European demands?
Europe invaded the world, then turns around and tells the world to respect its self imposed rule it enforces on others. We can’t even host our own space on the internet without you invading and threatening us to operate your way. The only safety we apparently have is in our small size means we might escape notice.
Same here, they were almost at the stage of giving us a pay rise (we were essential workers, so they were allowed to not give us the yearly for some reason) as staff shortages were hitting the industry hard.
When factoring in inflation, I’m basically making about $1 more than when I started in my job 7 years ago , and that’s with moving up to one of the more senior positions possible in the industry.
It’s like how in America ‘Jap’ is racist, whereas here ‘Nip’ is racist. Both are short hands for the country name Japan/Nihon(Nippon).
Or the British turning Ning-Nong/Nig-Nog into their version of the n word because some politician used it as such in the 60s or something, whereas here we shortened it to nong and it’s kept its original meaning of a foolish person.
It’s the cultural history behind the words that make them racist and just because we speak dialects of English doesn’t mean our words have followed the same trajectories.
Mozilla makes hundreds of millions from Google. Every single person could stop donating and they would continue along just fine (Well the CEO might need to take a 10 million yearly pay cut).
What weird is seeing people champion the enshittificstion of FOSS software.
Oh everywhere I look I keep finding tiny white specks that are little baby spiders dangling down. I keep moving them closer to outside as I doubt there’s much to eat indoors.
