Great dinner today talking #fediverse with a bunch interesting and smart folks. We are still in the phase where everybody describes a different part of the elephant, but these were interesting descriptions! I learned stuff! And those are the best conversations!!

If you plant two plants of egg plant, as I did, did you just plant two egg plant plants, or merely two egg plants?

I’m afraid if I say these are two egg plants, people will look at me strangely and then gently try to explain chickens to me.

Or perhaps I should simply take the snobbish route and call them aubergines.

Are there any software #testing frameworks that support testing outcomes other than PASS and FAIL? E.g. “message successfully received but content needed to be lossily reformatted”? Wondering how APIs would look like. #programming

@philip For Fediverse testing, I"m looking to produce reports that say something like Pass / Fail / Degraded where Degraded is things like "objects regardless of type have become a Note". Thinking of maybe having two types of AssertionErrors; still has the problem that if they are thrown as exceptions, a test will stop right there.

So #Bluesky is looking for a new board member to replace Jack Dorsey who initiated the project, got it funded, then gradually got less interested and now dropped out without much explanation.I'm afraid that is not a ringing endorsement of the project.https://bsky.app/profile/bsky.app/post/3krrebumv3k2h

Oh ChatGPT, how confidently you print out an algorithm that cannot possibly be correct!I'm feeling like going to a doctor who skipped some classes in school and when encountering a patient with a condition they didn't learn about, they just make up some remedy. With extreme confidence in their demeanor.Come to think of it, I have known some doctors to do that. So maybe ChatGPT is more human than we think.... ouch!

Not liking the terminology in this OpenID spec: "A federation can be expressed as an agreement between parties that trust each other."As a non-technical example, the US of A is a federation. This implies that Texas and California trust each other. Doubtful.It's also not the same way we think about the "federation" part of the Fediverse, although I'm not sure that we've ever attempted to crisply define what we mean by federation and not.https://openid.net/specs/openid-federation-1_0.html

There is a campaign going on in Germany for well-known organizations to publicly quit Twitter/X called By-By-Elon. They have quite some recognizable names there, mostly not-for-profits it seems.Great idea, and kudos for everybody who made this happen because that all takes a lot of work."Against hate and incitement"https://byebyeelon.de/#wir

I have to think about this one. @caseynewton says:"The #Fediverse is about giving up on the consumer internet as we know it today — the big walled gardens, the metastasizing #LLMs — and trying to build something different."https://www.platformer.news/how-to-stop-perplexity-oreilly-ai-publishing/

OH: "it should be possible to make a career on the Fediverse."Like an actual job that pays market rates, working in a team that also gets paid market rates, where there are prospects for getting promoted etc. A career that has long-term prospects and not just until some one-off funding dries out.I wonder whether this is a controversial subject. Because this has implications ...

"I hope what we get with ActivityPub is a diversity of algorithms, so there is not one dominant one, so people can be more creative, they don't have to perform for one algorithm to succeed, they can do what they want to do instead."@johnonolan in https://flipboard.video/w/sQCNmXx332xi3Y3dVVjd37

Federation as a feature that helps to compete. This is first I think in the #Fediverse.That's how I read this #Techcrunch headline about #ghost 's work on #ActivityPub.https://techcrunch.com/2024/07/08/substack-rival-ghost-federates-its-first-newsletter//cc @Sarahp @index

Who is doing the best work on cross-instance user experience in the Fediverse? Pointers appreciated.Things like remote follow, share to fediverse, same account for multiple instances etc.
