I'm doing #ExtraLife again this year, a 24-hour gaming event raising money for kids in need of medical care, and plan to livestream it in mid-October. Donations are much appreciated, if you're able. Either way, reshares would be great!

Extra Life | Change Kids' Health, Change the Future

I'm raising funds with #EXTRALIFE for kids treated at my local member hospital of Children's Miracle Network Hospitals! I need YOUR help to reach my fundraising goal, will you make a donation to support me?

Pinning this link here, because it's nice to have something to point to when the "Not just Mastodon" topic comes up, and this guy does a great job of explaining it.

Visuals help, too 😀

The many branches of the Fediverse

As more and more people are asking me about Mastodon I felt a need for a picture to point at, showcasing how the software known as Mastodon fits into the much larger concept of the Fediverse.

AV Light Transport -

Unlike helicopters, or even VTOL aircraft of old, AVs could reliably maneuver in tight urban spaces, land, take off, and then hit speeds of 500+ kph.

Fediverse users: Ew, Meta.
Threads users: Ew, Fediverse.

...unless Threads users just don't realize that they currently need to opt into federation.

Friendica Admins reshared this.

User agent for Threads ActivityPub traffic?

Testing what exists of Threads federation so far, and I can follow users that have opted in, but receive no posts from them when I know they've posted something. I don't have an Instagram account, much less Threads, so I assume they're public posts if I can see them on their profiles.

Right now, I'm checking my web server logs to see if I'm getting any traffic from them at all, but searching for "threads" (case insensitive) in the user agent turns up nothing. Does anyone know what the user agent is, if it's not that?

Thanks, and yeah... that is a pretty obvious IP, now that I see it 😀

I found the problem. The version of CRS I'm running with mod_security doesn't like the "profile=" part of the Content-Type request header. Easy enough to bypass that one rule until I have a better solution, but I'm surprised I haven't had problems already, considering that's part of the ActivityPub standard.

Desert Wreckage Home -

As streaming replaces physical media, don't assume movies and shows you 'buy' will remain bought. They can disappear from the platform, or the platform itself can disappear.

The only objection I have is the article saying that Section 230 relates to IP law "shap[ing] the [I]nternet." I agree that Section 230 has "shaped the [I]nternet," but disagree that it has anything to do with IP law. Indeed, the plain text of § 230(e)(2) ((d)(2) pre-COPA) says that "[n]othing in this section shall be construed to limit or expand any law pertaining to intellectual property."
