@reiver you think as I do.
I think it would be better if instead of Fediverse software outputting the following for ActivityPub/ActivityStreams Notes, Articles, etc:
"attributedTo": "https://mastodon.social/users/reiver",
It would instead output something more like:
"attributedTo": {
"id":"https://mastodon.social/users/reiver",
"type":"Person",
"name":"Charles",
"preferredUsername": "reiver",
"icon": {...},
"image": {...},
}
This way the Activity* document contains everything needed to render it.
I keep asking, where are the works? Where is the software that does ten or twenty or a hundred times more? Where is the human needs that are ten or twenty or a hundred times better met?
Instead, we have the mandated code generators feeding uncomprehended text into integration pipelines hit testing for textual correctness without meaning, purpose or intent.
This is a machine that turns strings into waste heat. That's nearly all it is.
It is money on fire.
what even is the lexical category of “ass” here
it should be analyzed as a suffix, of course, but I’ve omitted the hyphen, except if there was a hyphen how much else would you have to hyphenate?
half-life-2-map-ass construction site?
“half-life 2 map”-ass construction site?
(I think this falls under what enwiktionary calls a particle? https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/ass#Particle)
…with this half-life 2 map ass looking construction site (Jannowitzbrücke I think?)

@evan We DO want to vote in your polls after all!
Nature did not design mankind to stare at screens indoors all day.
We are made to struggle for the bounty of the earth. To follow the herds north and kill for our meat. To make love in cold nights as we ponder the stars.
Luckily we rebelled against nature. That would suck. Screens are way better.
And that was FediForum Spring 2026 day 1.
Great demos, amazing conversations. At least that is what we heard attendees say during closing session!
See you tomorrow for day 2!!
