Compost the blocking, keep the seeds alive, and make space for growth
It’s good to see more people turning their focus back to the #openweb. For the past five years of the #reboot we’ve been distracted in a signal-to-noise mess from the #fashionistas. That time needs to be over, we need to start looking clearly at both internal rot and the external threats.
A good first step is in balancing the realisation that we actually have far more direct power to deal with the internal mess than we do over the eternal #dotcons and their #closedweb “common sense”. […]

I kinda wish "online" conferences, tradeshows, and conventions were the norm for digital topics. Like an in person conference for physical goods makes some sense to me. But for digital experiences, a digital conference seems ideal. It changes logistics, but I'm talking about the attendee experience.
There was an in person conference I was slated to attend that pivoted on a dime to be a fully remote conference when the pandemic hit. I was skeptical but it proved to be a superior experience for me on multiple fronts:
1. I was able to attend more panels and workshops because i wasnt constrained by time and physics. If two topics were happening in the same time slot i could attend both. If i needed to eat lunch i could make a sandwich at home while tuning in rather than losing time at a restaurant or in a vendor line. If i missed the live portion, presenters were often still in their digital spaces long after to engage with.
2. More of the content was made available to review later by default because all of the presenters ended up digitizing their presentations more thoroughly. More digital hand outs with more depth since they didnt have to manage physical copies.
3. Easier on my health. I ate better and at a more predictable pace, slept at more reasonable times, and was more alert due to no fatigue from walking all day.
4. More affordable. I didn't have to contend with the expense of passport, lodging, transportation, dining out, or all the incidentals that come with travel. And its physical proximety was no longer a barrier to attending.
5. I saw more brands and orgs and engaged better. In a physical space I may or may not make it to someone's booth or table. I might overlook it due to its location or get pulled away before i get there or bail once im tired. I may not be willing to wait in line. In digital form i was able to visit and notice every presenter or org and get quality time.
6. More presentations had closed captioning and localization. No presentations were "too full" for a "fire hazard". Didn't have to worry about catching "con crud". And not having to worry about having my civil or human rights violated from the conference being physically located in a territory with hostile laws or customs.
The logistics are different for organizers and presenters. But as an attendee, I found digital conferences to be fantastic.

Social Web Conferences
https://reiver.codeberg.page/social-web-conferences/
…
I am working on creating a list of upcoming Social Web Conferences.
Using a broad definition of "Social Web" that includes the ActivityPub, AT-Protocol, ATmosphere, Bluesky, Farcaster, Fediverse, Matrix, and Nostr.
…
These are conferences that I might want to attend. (And, perhaps you may, too.)
…
Is there anything else I should add to this?

Some time after "cloud computing" had established itself, someone came up with the term "fog computing" and described a web where end-user machines, routers, etc. were the distributed backbone of web computing and hosting power.
These days I hope that will become a reality but I sure hope it is community-led, free, and open. IndieWeb, ActivityPub, and comparable are steps to the right direction.
We need to find ways to make distributed hosting and computing simpler.

@lovecankill Mind blown. I need to get into this PL stuff, it looks amazing. I'm especially impressed with the #activitypub implementation.

Another of my #fediverse #activitypub projects. This is a federated chat app. So far it's in very early development, but I would like to add call support.

Raels video demo. Raels is my #tiktok clone running #activitypub and #ostatus protocols.

Running a single user (or small) instance in the Fediverse? Relay instances acting as a spreading proxy can help you to find your content and also to make your posts visible to others - and you can easily join with #Mastodon, #snac and many other ones!
The https://fedi-relay.gyptazy.com relay is mostly for tech related content and just got updates to the manpageblog design.

This post is relevant to the degeneration of the #SocialHub project https://hamishcampbell.com/why-teach-everyone-to-code-has-become-a-dead-end-slogan/ this used to be the place for #ActivityPub and #Fediverse reboot, but now the social side is the few remaining unthinking "problem" people. This is a normal path, outcome, that we do need to compost to keep growing seeds #KISS

super nice.

What I worked on the past weeks was to analyze the current news corpora of the University of Leipzig in different languages.
Then mixed it with an anonymized fedi corpus and wrote a thing which can
- compress ActivityPub Objects to 20% of its size by a combination of semantic compression where 256 languages can be covered. The rest would be uncompressed in multilanguage Objects (see Evans new Primer Page).
Result is UInt8Array for a database.
What I am working on now is to "preserve hashtags and common knowledge".
One byte is a pointer to Hashtags (where any word has a # at 0) and one byte is a pointer to 3x(256²) wikidata tables. So that we directly get the e.g. Q1055 for Hamburg and can ask the author if the prominent Hamburg is meant …
This was just a first demo for German https://github.com/sebilasse/compressDE which meanwhile improved and soon you can generate your lexica from corpora.
btw This can detect 852 languages https://github.com/redaktor/languages
Less data, better climate …
