#ShowerThoughts giant container ships are engineered around the way combustion engines work. Trying to swap in electric engines for the diesel engines on those ships is dumb. What we need to do is ask engineers to design entirely new forms of marine transport, which take advantage of what electric engines can do that diesel engines can't.
As far as I can tell, the version of #zap available through #yunohost is either old, or explicitly disallows federation through #ActivityPub.
I created a channel at @stuart (the only public zap instance that was working at the time), and it has a switch in settings for ActivityPub. I was also able to follow my channel here.
On my Yunohost instance, there is neither any mention of ActivityPub settings, nor was I able to follow that instance here.
I'm kinda disappointed...
I've been hovering on the periphery of IT for 25 years, but never really fully engaged. In 1997, I wrote a paper in undergrad poli sci entitled, "Virtual Space and Idea-Sharing Amongst Public Interest Groups in Canada." It was the seed of an interest I regret never pursuing.
Post leukemia treatment, "thinking work" is that much harder, but the intersection of policy and tech is more important than ever. I feel compelled to engage.

Is it just me, or is everything in the Mastodon universe related to #canada spawned by people with a right wing, ignorance-based agenda?
Is the a secret hashtag behind which #sensible, #rational, #evidencebased, #progressive discussions about #canadianpolitics and #policy are hiding?

I'm Stuart. After spending the first part of my life pursing a traditional career and family life, I was gently, then rudely, awakened by two encounters with #leukemia, and a #StemCellTransplant.
Now, a big part of my focus is learning about #cooperative and #participatory models of organization, decision-making, and economic exchange. I'll probably post lots of questions and ideas along these lines.
I also enjoy #gardening, and riding my #RecumbentTrike.
Surviving leukemia since 2001. I was grateful to receive fresh stem cells in 2009. Now, trying to make choices to model a better world for my family and others.
