ActivityPub - one protocol to rule them all? - Dennis Schubert

overengineer.dev/blog/2018/02/01/activitypub-one-protocol-to-rule-them-all

Diaspora*'s developer's thoughts on ActivityPub soon after it was released. It's like he foresaw every issue there is, without even implementing the protocol. Such insight. He foresaw that C2S won't get much use, he foresaw reply forwarding problems, he foresaw everything!

We need more of Richard Stallman, not less

ploum.net/2023-06-19-more-rms.html

I’ve spent the last 6 years teaching Free Software and Open Source at École Polytechnique de Louvain, being forced to investigate the subject and the history more than I anticipated in order to answer students’ questions. I’ve read many historical books on the subject, including RMS’s biography and many older writings.

And something struck me.

RMS was right since the very beginning. Every warning, every prophecy realised. And, worst of all, he had the solution since the start. The problem is not RMS or FSF. The problem is us. The problem is that we didn’t listen.

How to Use the rock phone

unreasonablefarm.org/phone_manual.html

A description of a fantasy device.

The rock phone accepts various types of input: speech, morse code tap/hold, written characters, bluetooth keyboard, bluetooth headsets. The rock phone produces various types of output: speech, morse code beeps, bluetooth serial console, console avilable by wifi, remote screen available via wifi. The rock phone has a bone conduction speaker inside so you can place the rock phone on your temple or behind your ear to privately hear rock phone speech output/sounds, phone calls, music, or any other sound the rock phone might make.
