Yes, forking is one of the beautiful things of open source. But again there is much more than just "riding the works" in the tight mutual relationship between Forgejo and Codeberg.

Codeberg is just a nice logo wrapped around Forgejo/Gitea.

Not true. Codeberg is first of all a downstream fork [0] of Forgejo, making adaptations for high-scale use. And it offers additional services that Forgejo does not offer. Then it has a full-blown non-profit organization around it that enables community participation. It is the presidium of the community members that decided on the new ToU.

Forgejo is a hard fork of Gitea with a GPLv3 license, instead of MIT. Codeberg used to be based on Gitea, but it no longer does for many years now.

That doesn't do ActivityPub (or ATProto) justice. The inverse would be "more complicated RSS". But it is way more than that. You get semantically meaningful typed messages on AP. Most people think of AP as what you get on the fediverse, where basically the only type in use is the ActivityStreams Note object. But it can be anything that is transferred in a standards-conform interoperable way.

I think so, yes. The videos of the last camp are online as well at https://dwebcamp.org/videos

(2023) but worth being reposted, never got a good HN discussion. Between 8 and 12 July there's DWebCamp [0] and many experts and devs on both protocols are present, so opportunity for some good cross-pollination here.

Spritely has been going strong for many years. I suppose Hoot was created to make Goblins [0] available to a broader public via wasm, as a reference implementation of CapTP specification [1]. Wonder what the timeline is, if any exists, for getting this protocol at a maturity level where it is attractive to implement as an open standard.

Looks cool. Weird there's no "About" or a link to a landing page on this product.

There is a federated application called Endurain [0] that can be self-hosted, and is compatible with Strava and Garmin Connect. Not a phone app, but a web front-end. I don't know how well that works on mobile.

In US history, pehaps not. In world history, probably.

I have often wondered how the effect was created where e.g. in a documentary you see historic black and white photographs slowly 'camera panning' or zooming somewhat from left to right with a perspective shift. Is that also created as a wigglegram on the basis of multiple photographs I wonder, at times where taking a single photograph was an involved process?

Both? But yea, if you see the Advisory Board shown in an image lower in the article, you get the general idea.

Meta: Privacy-infringing highly unethical advertisement giant. Ray-Ban: Overly expensive eyewear brand, that diminishes itself with this integration. An unholy marriage. I for one am happy with the growing resistance to these spyware glasses, and in more and more places I encounter these BanRay [0] stickers to indicate they are not welcome in a store or office space.

You explained the value proposition so well.

No, it didn't. It shifted the burden of learning the value proposition to first knowing what Tailscale is exactly. And a response of "Duh, that's obvious", perhaps indicates being too deep in the guts of tailscale systems.

Why does EVERYTHING has to be geared towards agents?

This was also my first thought when I checked the website. I was interested in the general merge approach, and that it works with LLMs and agents fine, but that's secondary. Nowadays every product must be in-your-face AI-first somehow, often to the extent that it de-emphasizes why the product exists in the first place, its core competency and distinguishing features pushed below the fold by screaming "It supports AI" headlines. It saddens me. That something supports AI is nothing special anymore, an expected feature. Just mention it like that, in the product highlight box next to where it mentions that it supports Github or similar nothing-special features.

There's a benchmark on the site that compares with mergiraf.

Besides published material, Cuba comes close. Kept frozen in time by eternal restrictive sanctions.

Servo [0] is EU funded via NLnet. You can build a browser from that.

Perhaps it originated from there. But EU Chat Control is brought up again and again and again for a vote. They'll continue until some version of it is passed. And then they'll go further with the next privacy infringing regulation to be building on top of it. It is really disheartening for privacy activists, but that is probably the strategy. Wear people out, and push the regulation through when resistance wanes. Note that the Netherlands is on the side of protecting privacy at this point in time. I think it does a great deal to erode trust of EU citizens in the European Union, in a time when that trust is perhaps more important than ever before.

The Hyperion Cantos by Dan Simmons is great. It may also be nice to recommend books that have movie or streaming series to them. Books are most of the time better than the movie as your own fantasy and imagination just makes it so. Altered Carbon by Richard Morgan is a good example.

Part of my interest in what you wrote in the link I passed stemmed from my imagination (or fantasy) where I saw opportunities arising to finally step away from the straitjacket of the browser oligopoly, with wasm et al the enabling technology to that. Yes, it would be a lot of work. A lot of things would need to significantly mature to get robust UI development frameworks, and it would be a bit like before the web, alien to many. But right now, things aren't good either, as you also referred to just now.

We won’t use this data to train new Claude models, or for any non-safety-related purpose, and we’ve instituted new privacy protections including logging all human access to the data and ensuring its deletion after 30 days in almost all cases

This reads to me as they can use any model that is not a "Claude model", and as for human access to that other model there can be different less restrictive privacy protections. In other words, that anything goes.

I first heard of him via "Towards a Modern Web Stack (Ian 'Hixie' Hickson)" on HN [0]. Quite interesting. Note that the submission link is broken, the google doc link is added below [1].

I've had my firefox browser crash twice recently and I lost the couple hundred open tabs that I must really process for their valuable information. Found through dilligent social media communication in my circles. Guess what, that was a false feeling, I felt huge relief and burden lifted from my shoulder, and I never really missed those lost tabs. The valuable information is around always, and you can collect just-in-time what you need. I now have a more casual approach to them. Sticky notes where it is okay if they fall from the fridge.

As for social media, I am using the decentralized alternatives, fediverse and atmosphere. It is all parasocial. People talk about friends networks and how cozy it all is, but you only exist as long as you produce content and engage. And content that fits the in-group at that. Produce what they want to hear. It is superficial, shallow, but you can easily be deluded it is more than that. It is not that your peers online want it to be that way, it is just that the tools we use are insufficient to forge richer and more intricate social relationships. Even while the fediverse has no algorithmic feeds, it is Twitter-like and you must stand on your soapboax, sell your warez, to get heard. It is far from social, as we understand it offline.

Note that there is value to it all. It just serves one well to be aware of the social dynamics and adjust expectations accordingly.

Building from zero after addiction, to picking up a career and find a new purpose in life.

I like that, and I heard it is becoming a bit of a trend where people also leave their phone at home, and more deliberately choose the precious moments to capture. Nice.

Yes, you explained better. It is having the camera always with you and the abundance of photos that are the result, which for most people including me are too much and too boring to sort out. I find myself in the opposite situation now, when at a happening or event I take no photos at all, because I came to hate taking them. Feel it is not worth spoiling the moment. But that means not recording the valuable moments for later, so I may come to regret that at old age.

As a kid I read the book "Montyn" [0] that made a deep impression on me, about Jan Montyn who fled a strict Calvinistic upbringing to join the German army in WWII and found himself in all the big battles near the end of the war, to ultimately make a career as an artist in The Netherlands.

I was reminded of the book when I recently watched the origin story [1] of the Differentbreed TV channel on youtube that gives attention to the trench war in Ukraine. The channel owner went from serious alcohol addiction while working in a liquor store, to going in a coma when deciding to go cold turkey. And then a journey to almost becoming a policeman, then a firefighter, and deciding based on training and certifications gained there, to become a combat medic in Ukraine. Then fought in the International Legion and Azov brigade. And then settle in Ukraine running the channel, and be involved in all kinds of activities that help the defense of the country. Very interesting to hear the story told from first-hand experience.

Carrying a camera around at all times killed the value of photographs to large extent. I know people who come home from a one week vacation with 100's of pictures, that are never looked at again, and which spoiled all the moments where one could really enjoy the scene. Music concerts where nearly all the crowd film the concert and mostly miss the experience by doing so, is another example.
