RE: https://ecscw.eusset.eu/2026/2026/07/04/ecscw-2026-has-ended/ .. and I basically collapsed and slept 11 hours. 😴 Waiting for a few late payments and invoices to balance the books, having a handful of follow-on email conversations, then the “Julian organizes a conference” chapter can be over, at least for a while. #AcademicChatter #ECSCW2026

Re-sharing a small open source project I just finished polishing: PoseViz, my browser-based pose recording data visualizer/player. https://fietkau.software/poseviz When I left my previous employer, we discussed what would remain there and what I would take with me. PoseViz is one of our bespoke research tools now in my private custody. I put a bit of effort into making it presentable and fun to play with. Try opening some of the different demo recordings! 🙂 #OpenSource #PoseTracking #threejs

RE: https://mastodon.social/@bagder/116359048796181736 Could be potentially nice for fediverse server testing, as more implementations make the jump to final RFC 9421 HTTP signatures. On the flip side, ever more complex curl invocations (here: Accept header plus signature fields plus key file, presumably) suggest use of more specialized CLI tools, such as provided by @fedify@hollo.social, or at least scripts/aliases. Speaking of RFC 9421, which notable fediverse implementations can't hand...

Fun personal announcement: I&#39;m changing jobs! 🙂 Starting in June, I&#39;ll be working at @tibhannover with @Lambo and team as a Research Software Engineer. The job posting is still online, so you can see here what I&#39;ll be up to: https://www.tib.eu/en/tib/careers-and-apprenticeships/vacancies/details/stellenausschreibung-nr-7-2026 Basically it&#39;s about research data infrastructure, particularly integrating SciOp (https://sciop.net) at TIB. It&#39;s exciting stuff...

I have recently been helping @anze3db with the backend code for starter packs curated on @fedidevs, specifically with splash images. In the future, you should be seeing the new splash images in the link preview if you share a starter pack on here. Example: https://fedidevs.com/s/NDYw/ (by @liaizon) This was a side effect of my work on interoperable ActivityPub starter packs. The goal is that https://fedidevs.com starter packs will be compatible with Mastodon&#39;s (https://blog.joinmastodon...

My ongoing #ActivityPub projects in order of priority, for anyone waiting for something: – Interaction policy / reply controls FEP: highest priority, stalled for the past few weeks due to other responsibilities – @encyclia: probably migrating from Deno+Fresh to Node+Hono for @fedify 2.0, boring infra work – Updating @fedidevs starter packs for compatibility with @loops and @Mastodon packs: on warm hold, will get to it, but vainly hoping someone will write a Python lib for it before I have to 🙃

Seems as good a day as any to thank @hongminhee and team for the exemplary work on @fedify. Following Fedify&#39;s big 2.0 release, my two largest interoperability pain points in @encyclia can be fixed. 🙂 https://github.com/fedify-dev/fedify/issues/473 means that people using @gotosocial will finally be able to follow @encyclia accounts soon (whenever I finish the upgrade). https://github.com/fedify-dev/fedify/issues/472 will let me (and others) handle more account resolution edge cases an...

RE: https://ecscw.eusset.eu/2026/2026/03/02/825/ Ever considered being part of an academic conference as a student volunteer? I&#39;m coordinating the SV call for #ECSCW2026 and we&#39;re looking for people. I&#39;d say “please apply if you&#39;re interested,” but knowing who follows me, “please forward this to your students” is statistically more fitting. 😄
