@atomicpoet I don't understand why people aren't leaning more on ActivityPub, and investigating pre-existing implementations for maximum compatibility where it doesn't suffice. We have the W3C ActivityPub standard, is there a way to propose inclusions where they are required?

#Jetpack will no longer auto-share blog posts to #Twitter!
This is because Automattic, the company the owns Jetpack, was not able to come to a "good faith" agreement with Twitter about access to their API.
However, there's also good news.
In the same blog post, Automattic announced that auto-sharing of blog posts is coming to #Mastodon!

Personally, I think it’s awesome that the people who joined this fediverse because they didn’t like what one billionaire allowed them to do but like what another billionaire says he’ll allow them to do are leaving this fediverse for the billionaires fediverse.
I don’t know how you volunteer to go back to prison after tasting freedom, but a lot of people do.

@requiem yup... People really don't spend enough time reflecting on their actions... Probably because it requires taking responsibility, and it's easier to just hand that over to someone else then spend all day moaning about it...
@anildash I love the Price fan bit, but I lose interest in whatever I'm reading when I see the word "extremist."
@shoq @atomicpoet @davetroy You did specifically call it out tho. Is there a better license they might have used to lesson your suspicion? It seems to me when there's bad actors (and like you I do think BlueSky are smelly actors) they will be bad regardless of the license. The MIT is a net positive for humanity.
@mpmilestogo@ohai.social just want to say I love reading your toots and blogs. I'm pleased to have you back on the Fediverse!
@shoq @atomicpoet @davetroy there's nothing shady about an MIT license. Mastodon has already been used in this way (Truth Social, and more). This is an issue with bad actors with bad intentions, not the MIT license.

in 30 years time, if we aren't looking back on these days with horror, it's because it will be illegal to look back on these days in horror.

Microsoft's Edge browser appears to be sending all the URLs you visit to its Bing API website.
Reddit users first spotted the privacy issues with Edge last week, noticing that the latest version of Microsoft Edge sends a request to bingapis.com with the full URL of nearly every page you navigate to. Microsoft tells The Verge it's investigating ...
*cough*
"Oh did we accidentally write code and put it in our browser that collects info on everything you do, again?

Congratulations on living past 30! Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to discover new music that sounds like old music and doesn’t remind you of your unresolved trauma and shame!

@atomicpoet yes!!!! Thank you. This message is worth repeating from time to time. I'm not really sure how people have got it twisted.

Sorry, the sabotage of Twitter is not a “disaster for democracy”—it’s the logical and inevitable endpoint of surveillance capitalist control of our communications infrastructure.
Those who control a message’s delivery system control the message.
Twitter was always owned by surveillance capitalists—it NEVER served democracy.
