So its done! I finally released a fairly easy to install (from scratch) Hugo based Static Site generator with full ActivityPub support.
It has step-by-step instructions on how to set it up for your own blog or static website.
One of the coolest features for me, other than having your static site blog posts show up as posts in the Fediverse is the support for interacting with those posts. Any replies you leave, likes, or boosts will show up in the "comments" section of the website on the page associated with the post. How cool is that!
@fox it’s relatively bulky, either annoying to attach and remove or holding on a prayer, and it’s analogue in the age when AFAIK the last monitors actually using the analogue signal died off somewhere in the ‘00 years so for the past 2 decades we’ve been turning digital to analogue to send it through VGA and then analogue back to digital to actually display it.
@nixCraft finally! VGA overstayed its welcome by about 20 years, glad to see it finally phased out to the point that younger people don’t recognise it.

I need to go find my copy of Sid Meier's autobiography. maybe there's a whole section on what exactly he was smoking back in the late 80s

@icedquinn you’re talking about bone conductors? Usually ANC works by nullifying the sound waves in the air before they reach your bones, ANC in bone conductors is probably fighting them there, which doesn’t sound pleasant.
@freemo @mike805 @freepeoplesfreepress also take note of memetic evolution. Cultures that didn’t eat human meat didn’t get sick from it and so thrived better than those that did, no matter if they realised the connection or not. Similar to how some Abrahamic religions forbid pork, which carried parasites and similar unpleasantries but is forbidden because apparently God hates it.
I’m in Slovakia right now and I noticed that Slovak sounds “wrong” to me, in a way other foreign languages don’t, even Czech, which is also similar to Polish.
Now I know why. Slovak sounds like foreigners trying to pronounce Polish. Where we have “ł”, which is pronounced like “w”, they use “l”, which is usually how foreigners try to read that letter. Where we have “ś”, they usually have “s”, etc. Many of the words that are similar in both languages are basically the same, if you took all the “softened” phonemes and hardened them.

Implementing a web browser is literally impossible.
"The total word count of the W3C specification is 114 million words […]. If you added the combined word counts of the C11, C++17, UEFI, USB 3.2, and POSIX specifications, all 8,754 published RFCs, and the combined word counts of everything on Wikipedia’s list of longest novels, you would be 12 million words short of the W3C specifications."

@foone I just tested this! The answer is: the first device it's plugged into retains control, the other device doesn't see it.
@icedquinn @kaia @Jens_Rasmussen >Britain
I also doubt it was that simple, but when it comes to Britain no level of stupid will surprise me.
@icedquinn @kaia @Jens_Rasmussen american propaganda / stupid view on the rest of the world, Europe absolutely cares about free speech and only a couple of outlier countries limit it for extreme cases. (Like openly urging to violence, which is the case in the US too.) Similarly with religion, religious freedom is treated very seriously. (Probably more than in the US, since there it’s mostly a mask to let protestants do whatever they want, including where it infringes on freedom of other religions.)
