So I managed to add #ActivityPub to a static website I just put together. I will be modifying it so I use the same code on my personal blog too.

Basically it supports followers, and when a new page is added (like a news entry, or a new project) then if your following the website it will show as a status in your feed.

Even cooler, if you comment or like the status from here you will see that comment and status on the website. Yes I can block people if they abuse this, as well as servers.

Check it out by following @flear which represents https://flear.org

Its a very early beta, so the look of the site will still be heavily modified and I will add some more #AP support soon. But this covers all the basics needs.

Consumer concerns about #AI
- What is it trained on?
- Is it accurate?
- What are the environmental impacts?
- What are the economic impacts?

Corporate concerns about AI:

- Oh my god what if they make it say f*ck?!?!?!

It always sounds so pretentious or paranoid when I post something about this kind of stuff but I've been getting repeatedly intercepted on some of my VPN's exit nodes, with minor websites that I regularly use getting false certs signed by bullshit orgs. And when the exit node is changed, the man-in-the-middle certs go away.

So forgive the tinfoil hat posting but I do believe public notes should be made about this kind of surveillance, even if there are other conceivable explanations.

In this world of modern password cracking, please keep this in mind:

bottoms are NOT CRYPTOGRAPHICALLY SECURE!

but if you are going to acquire your password from them anyway, please use their nonsense spoken sentences when they're flustered, and not the keysmashes

Our capitalist rulers, and the politicians they own, are playing the long game. Since the 1950s they have been working steadily to shift the Overton window, to reduce the influence of labor unions, to boost consumerism, and to concentrate wealth and power in the hands of a few.

A large part of that strategy involves privatizing services that used to be (and should be) public.

They're playing the long game, and they are winning — much to the detriment of you and me and the environment we live in.

[it immediately makes the browser use 50% of my CPU]
this is a lot of CPU for a web page. web developers, are you all right? is this a cry for help, sent through the distributed medium of computer fans suddenly spinning up to cope with the sudden spike? should we comb through the HTML for hints as to where the hostages are?

everything keeps getting worse. websites designed by people on brand new macbooks who aren't running anything except a text editor and 1 chrome tab. if it doesn't peg a core then it must be good to go

man. the new github code view is laggy jank too. browsing code on github used to take the occasional manual step to search for a symbol i guess, but now the whole experience sucks constantly and the symbol lookup doesn't work anyway

“we can’t find any good candidates for this role” you’re auto-rejecting people with 20 years experience because they don’t have a degree and then AI-sorting the rest by how Jared their name is

5,000 games are available for PICO-8 on itch.io alone.

If this number is accurate, that means PICO-8 has a bigger game library than the NES. And that also means the PICO-8’s library is competitive with the Commodore 64’s library—which is also huge.

This is incredible considering that few people have ever owned a PICO-8 console. But now I want one.
