  it's always bemusing that people get so irrationally mad at jsonld simply existing. i guess if you assume everyone agrees with you and is doing exactly the same thing as you, then it's probably superfluous, but because it exposes the inherent complexity that most people choose to ignore, it gets blamed for the existence of the problems that it gives you tools to solve. "oh, if everyone would just..." lemme stop you there. Everyone Will Not Just. you are going t...

  https://www.wbrc.com/2026/03/30/judge-orders-central-alabama-water-restore-fluoride-drinking-water/ so basically our water company announced 10 days ago it was going to stop fluoridating our water, effective as of... 2 years ago city sued the water company, judge ordered them to start fluoridating again, and of course anyone whose dental health worsened in the past 2 years is just written off

  anyone know of any good free checking accounts? my current checking account recently instituted a $5/month charge and this is as good a time as any to move off, but idk what my other options are. my main considerations are: - no fees - no interest - a website that doesn't suck #AskFedi

  #TIL the query component of a URI is actually completely opaque. There is no such thing as a "query parameter" defined in any spec that I can find -- the use of ampersands to delimit such "parameters" is purely conventional! At some point (HTML4), the recommendation was to use *semicolons* instead: https://www.w3.org/TR/html4/appendix/notes.html#h-B.2.2 There is even a line of argument that says that query parameters are a misfeature and antipattern. Any &am...

  evil* idea for likes/shares/etc collections that allow interactions by direct POST. instead of POST to inbox you just POST to the collection. the collection can return 4xx if your interaction isn't accepted, and if it's missing you just "can't" interact that way. basically every interaction collection could be its own "inbox" in a way. you could still use something like AP outbox delivery to forward published activities to appropriate t...

  @hongminhee@hollo.social you can use HTTP 3xx redirects but that's not strictly necessary because you can use DNS A/AAAA/CNAME as well (and have the HTTP server respond to those names in conjunction with TLS SNI) the idea is that multiple server names can be responded to by the same Fedify software instance. in nginx it's doable with the http.server.server_name directive. https://nginx.org/en/docs/http/server_names.html SNI: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc6066#section-3 does...

  @evan@cosocial.ca re: "but you're replying to something that could be private"-- yes, i could be. i could be replying to anything or nothing at all. replying to a cnn article, replying to an overheard statement, replying to the weather, replying to a concept. one example i think about in this regard is how the Linked Data Notifications spec is technically a response to the Social Web WG charter, because that's what prompted its existence: https://www.w3.org/TR/ldn/ if alice l...

  @evan@cosocial.ca i think you know where i already stand on this, but instead of recursively crawling replies collections it would be better if alice had a collection that alice owned and contained a flat set of whatever alice wanted to be in it. i think "bob gets to choose" is not inherently problematic insofar as alice never actually established any context. bob's post stands on its own, with any arbitrary audience. if there *was* such a thing as "alice's convo" th...

  probably the most succinct definition i can give of fascism is "the fetishization of order". that's what it all is rooted in, after all -- some natural order, or law and order, the discarding of any chaos by maintaining national purity against "degeneracy". in reality, chaos is freedom -- the result of free agents acting freely is highly unpredictable. so stability is enforced at the price of freedom, by maintaining a very strong and rigid state which maintains the nation...
