So if any server admin types are interested, it should be pretty easy* to run an instance of my RSS to ActivityPub converter as a nice bonus for your users. It lets people with a login on your Mastodon or Hometown server create ActivityPub accounts that are mirrors of RSS feeds (process pictured in attachments). ONLY people with a login to your server can use it, because you don't want to moderate this service for randoshttps://github.com/dariusk/rss-to-activitypub*easy for linux server administration, huge lmao

Hi Fediverse denizens. I've been working on a project I hope will help Fediverse devs make software that federates across ALL services, not just Mastodon-plus-a-few-others.It's called the Fediverse Schema Observatory and before launching it, I am opening up a public comment period re: safety and privacy.This post lays out what the software does, what data it records, and why I think it's safe to deploy:https://asml.cyber.harvard.edu/fediverseobservatory/Please give feedback here or at the email in the post!

@glyph something David Harvey pointed out years ago that stuck with me: Capitalism is about 500 years old. Markets are much older than that. Markets are a prerequisite for capitalism but you can have markets without capital-c Capitalism

Me, to the Sphinx of Thebes:Wait, that doesn't make any sense. A cane isn't a leg. It's a mobility aid. Also, a human lifespan occurs over multiple decades, not a 24-hour day.The Sphinx of Thebes, to me:Okay. I'm going to strangle you now.

Quick question for any New York Times columnists out there: as an Iranian-American, how many "death to America"s am I allowed to say following Trump's threat to wipe Iran's civilization off the face of the earth? One? Three? An even dozen?

Saw an AI influencer-type on another social network say> It’s been shocking to see Claude go from an AI model that seemed one upgrade away from taking over most of the routine tasks in my day job to not even being able to reliably download a webpage without lots of prompting.I'm excited for people who claimed "the models are 90% there but if line keeps going up we'll be at 110% soon" to hit a wall at approximately 130mph

I've seen "tips" for husbands on Mother's Day like "don't cook a meal at home for your wife, because then she's stuck doing the dishes"...are the straights okay? (No, I know they aren't) Literally who cooks a meal as a gift and doesn't also do the dishes 😂

Going with a 6 year old to the movies and watching a trailer for an epic action movie. The trailer is mostly not funny but it does that thing where the soundtrack stops for a second and the protagonist delivers a quip.Kiddo: Okay, now I'm definitely sure there are going to be jokes in that movie.My first thought: Damn ok he gets it hahaMy second thought: fuck, mainstream culture is optimized for 6 year olds
