Interesting to see this explosion of new open-ish licenses.
A year ago I tried learning ActivityPub, and more or less failed. I was confounded by a spec that was so abstract I couldn't make heads or tails of it. Turns out I was missing some key things.
I have written a guide to learning about ActivityPub that I wish existed a year ago when I first set out to learn how to write social media servers that conform to the spec:
Firefox Containers are one of my biggest selling points of the browser, so I'm happy to announce my new add-on, π¦ Trash Bear π¦, which lets you open single-serving containers that get deleted after you close the tab. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/trash-bear/
Hey, if you're in school and are having trouble paying for your textbooks, search them up on libgen.io to find them for free.
I'm realizing that a lot of people at my college don't know this and are skipping meals to afford overpriced textbooks, so it may help someone on here too. #sharingiscaring

>My dream (πβ οΈ) is a web of hashlinked data (md, html, json, code) rendered and manipulated by client-side user software composed of sandboxed pieces more granular than extensions. Like a npm of pure functions and react-like components summoned by the user in an emacs-like way.

Turning it into explicit stack + for loop made me solve in 20min what I had already poured hours into. Damn you imperative mind.

Very exciting call for research:
Mozilla has an interest in potentially integrating more of Tor into Firefox π₯
Tor has never been deployed at this scale, so there are a lot of considerations to research before giving this a try.

Curious about the Librem One moderation policy or code of conduct?
"If you are being harassed, or witness online harassment, block and flag the offending user, and a moderator will take action. We do not tolerate harassment."

I woke up to the drama about #LibremOne in the fediverse.
As I said before in [1], while I think removing local and federated timelines from their fork of #Mastodon is a weird (but bold) decision, I think disabling reports is outright problematic for the rest of us in the fediverse.
Now I am glad to see this move π. I hope @purism continues to innovate and at the same time, continues to consider feedback from the community.
