🚨Guys, I thought that there was no Graphene Oxide in the Covid Vax? So, what is this?
So I am starting a #FLOSS HAM community.. Think apache for Ham radio. The idea is to address the state of open source software and standards in HAM radio.
Anyone, particularly open-source devs have any interest in talking to me about this, even if its just to make sure their ideas are considered as I launch... but people who want to help more directly are welcome too.
@freemo How are AcitivityPub messages authenticated? What prevents me for forging messages allegedly from @freemo? I understand that privacy is not an intended feature of the fediverse. But lack of authentication was a drawback of the fully decentralized Usenet protocol. Messages were constantly being forged as a joke. Eventually, gpg signing was added as an afterthought.
I don't see any provision for signing messages on qoto.org or other ActivityPub sites.
Check out the #FlockToFedora panel I'm participating in tomorrow about collaboration & cooperating in the EL ecosystem. It's at 8:30AM EST and can be lived streamed from https://flock2023.sched.com/event/1Or6Q/panel-upstream-collaboration-cooperation-in-the-enterprise-linux-ecosystem
@freemo I am trying to follow https://social.quodverum.com/@darulharb
And your server can't find it, and there is an error trying to use the redirect "Follow" dialog Mastodon provides. I'm still a newbie on ActivityPub protocol, so I'm not sure what is going on. Has one or both servers "blocked" the other? Shouldn't that at least result in a clear "we've blocked these evil people" message?
@PtrebliG @lowqualityfacts Well I'm glad someone is finally brave enough to tell us that jokes effectively equal disinformation, because someone might have actually believed that a chicken crossed a road for some far fetched reason, and we don't want this kind of thing destroying democracy.

@fedora @slimbook Oh man, @frameworkcomputer is coming to my region & now this!? #choices
@thelinuxEXP Just a nit pick here (but I think an important one): "Fedora" isn't proposing anything... Some folks are proposing telemetry _to_ Fedora (thats all of us in #fedora community).
@fedora If you have to trick your users into having telemetry by hoping they click through without noticing, YOU ARE THE BAD GUY.
Wait until #Google execs realize that they can save even more money by shutting down 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4.
