    I’m not going to tolerate a cult of reality deniers. Simply mentioning that most of company (bird) has been fired or quit is not political or biased.
    If you’re going to continue hallucinogenic nonsense to everyone online, you’re going to find it increasingly difficult to exist
    Aaron Parecki
    lol I had someone comment a much more polite version of that on my last stream and I was just like 🤦‍♂️ I don't get how some people are able to ignore the basic facts, or treat reporting on facts as "political"

    @aaronpk Ah. Weren't you the one who wrote it's PHP implementation? Or didn't you help with it?

    Aaron Parecki
    I later rebuilt an PHP ActivityPub implementation as a separate service, API only. But I only use it for bots. I've been meaning to rip out my internal mess and switch over to that but I'm not excited about that project.

    @aaronpk Isn't your whole site a custom pile of code? And that's why only parts of p3k are fully open source?

    Aaron Parecki
    Yes, but the ActivityPub stuff in particular is pretty messy.

    @aaronpk What's that running? I have always been curious since i found you up here.

    Aaron Parecki
    It's a big sloppy mess of hand-rolled code. I would do things quite differently if I built one again.

    @aaronpk speaking of indieauth, something that i mentioned to @DickHardt over IIW was that I really really really want to make my handle be @sgo.to.

    Can't we come up with some form of convention that when you run into a @domain.example we do the indieauth thingy?
    Aaron Parecki
    Ironically, the ActivityPub spec itself works just fine with plain domain usernames, nothing about it requires WebFinger or username based IDs. That was something I pushed hard for when we were working on the spec. But sadly Mastodon requires the @-@ syntax and WebFinger.

    I don't think it's going to go out with a bang, but the slow decay has definitely already started. (the SMS verification codes don't work now)

    Not for this *exact reason* but I have always been wary of "Sign in with X". I do not like having some other party own my users.
    Aaron Parecki
    nobody could have predicted this 😂

    but yeah, this is why the most common next step after logging in is these services asking for your email so they have a recovery path

    Syndicating to Mastodon

    Aaron Parecki
    Have you considered making your website directly accessible from Mastodon and others? Bridgy Fed seems like it would integrate nicely with your workflow, since you've already got most of the pieces set up, and you could choose to send individual posts to your Mastodon followers with a webmention.

    https://fed.brid.gy

    This way people could follow your website directly and you wouldn't need a separate account on any Mastodon server at all!

    Folks. There is nothing more centralized than a registry.

    Important note: you should NEVER do this to trailing slashes that exist in the path itself!

    https://simonwillison.net/tags and https://simonwillison.net/tags/ are not technically the same URL

    But... https://simonwillison.net/ and https://simonwillison.net ARE the same

    And if you've decided not to display the https:// protocol, I think it looks prettier if you don't show the trailing slash either

    (This is possibly the least important aesthetic preference anyone has ever expressed)

    Aaron Parecki
    Thank you for pointing this out! This is always one of the first things I do when displaying URLs. It's the little things that matter!

    @erincandescent @trwnh @mralanorth @shengokai ☝️☝️☝️

    The model where everyone gets a new identity for every community they join (1) largely defeats the purpose of federation (2) does not scale as people have *many* communities of interest and (3) doesn't map to our natural conception of identity.

    I *hope* it's fixable. May take some convincing of Eugen, which seems hard from this vantage point.

    Aaron Parecki
    Thank you! I've been saying this forever.

    I also agree that the instance timeline is a useful way for a community to come together, but I think that can be accomplished differently while everyone can still have their primary identity in one place.

    And of course, someone should also be able to have multiple separate identities if they want to!

    I can never see the word aluminum without thinking of one of my favorite Weird Al numbers, Foil.

    I do this one at karaoke pretty regularly. Yes, I could do Royals by Lorde, but the parody is more fun to sing. 🥪🦎

    @aaronpk the #raspberrypi does not actually have the horsepower to “Create multiple resolutions of your video and push different resolutions to different platforms”, right? It has trouble encodingone stream at 720p.

    Aaron Parecki
    True, using a larger server would be better for that. I'll make a note.
