In the immortal words of @thisismissem: "RDF is highly structured, schemaless, garbage that you may find useful data in"

Most of us know by know that people use #ai to "think out loud". However: "When language comes back at you fast, coherent, and emotionally attuned, it feels like truth. Especially when you're tired. Or lonely. (…) And in those moments, something sneaky happens. You stop checking as carefully […]

RE: https://hachyderm.io/@thisismissem/116202839589320074 A great companion piece to this is by @sphcow on Contributor Skills: How Standards Are Created https://sphericalcowconsulting.com/2026/02/10/contributor-skills-how-standards-are-created/

So as Google is forcing me as an individual user to be on a business plan, I'm interested in talking with a lawyer who can force this matter (and claim damages for incorrect billing for the past 4+ years) Hit me up if there's a lawyer I should speak with.

I created a Google account with G Suite in like 2010, on Mar 12, 2013, my account was transitions to G Suite Free Plan. When G Suite became Google Workspace, Google forced me on to Google Workspace Business Starter on Apr 13, 2022. Anyone know a lawyer who can help?

NBC’s Richard Engel: “The White House meme campaign is outraging many former US military commanders… they say only someone who has never really seen combat would think it’s a joke and put out material like this.”

shout-outs to @thisismissem for working on Federated Credential Management API - and thanks to #atproto for funding her work <3 And the best thing: it will not only help bluesky and ATProto, but it will also help ActivityPub and the Fediverse! Decentralized is the future. thx for your work for […]

RE: https://digitalcourage.social/@RoteHilfe/116125584476517833 Glad to see that there is progress on the Rote Hilfe / GLS debanking situation. Still is a serious lack of information in the anglosphere about this but alas. More analysis I found useful here […]

I have been walking past ://about blank a lot lately on the way to work and I am continually reminded by the faux-radicalism of their large "refugees welcome" mural...

It's a bit like the tea model for consent. The tea model is useful for teaching 12 year olds (and most men, tbh) about consent practices. But the moment you start going around screaming at people for enjoying somno (or even just _fanfic_ involving somno) because "DON'T GIVE TEA TO SOMEONE WHO […]

Once again: The nazi bar analogy is overused and used incorrectly so often that it is damn near meaningless as a commentary any longer.

Emelia Smith（ @thisismissem.social ）にBluesky PBCからグラントが出た。W3CでFedCM（Federated Credential Management API）の標準を策定し、分散型Web全体で使えるようにする作業への資金支援。ATProtoのOAuthが依拠するIETF internet draftの共著者でもある。 atproto.com/blog/working-to-decentralize-fedcm #$ATOPR

Heh, this song was stuck in my head earlier: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zUDinkJYAtk

@thisismissem just here to say thank you. To you. And to Bluesky. I have Opinions about them, sure, but funding you through a Grant is an objectively Good thing that helps us (as in the entire web!) move forward in a proper way. I am grateful for your work, your contributions, your integrity […]

So there's a tiny tiny percentage of people in my mentions right now that are accusing me of horrible things because they don't like Bluesky and I've taken money from them. For these people, I'm not saying you have to like Bluesky's moderation practices or the decision they make for their own […]

RE: https://hachyderm.io/@thisismissem/116200675747480657 This is great news for decentralized social. @thisismissem has been doing great work on FedCM and OAuth for years and is now going to focus on bringing FedCM to protocols like Activity Pub and atproto. And this brings us one step closer […]

RE: https://hachyderm.io/@thisismissem/116200675747480657 This is _really_ awesome. Thank you to @thisismissem for taking this on. I look forward to seeing what she comes up with.

RE: https://hachyderm.io/@thisismissem/116123045901085983 In general I think people who don't work in infrastructure (which both Emelia and I do): 1. Don't think about where things run enough. 2. Dramatically underestimate the costs involved. 3. Dramatically underestimate the _savings_ […]

I'm super hyped to announce that Bluesky Socal PBC has given me a grant to work on the Federated Credential Management (or FedCM) standards to make them really work for all decentralized web applications. This is why I stepped up to be an Invited Expert with the W3C FedID Working Group earlier […]

Casually reviewed a PHP OAuth server implementation before my morning coffee.

Your little music pick for tonight: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sv8PZwsRLWs 🎶 You're exasperated This degeneration Mental masturbation Think I'll leave it all behind 🎶 🎶 You don't care about us, oh You don't care about us, oh 🎶

You know @mastodonmigration, every time you go off about AT Protocol, and I have to spend time answering you, that means I have less time to actively work on things like the ActivityPub specifications or FEPs for things like trust and safety, because I'm busy correcting your bullshit.

RE: https://mastodon.online/@mastodonmigration/116122830332229283 Bluesky isn't fucking meant to be a "widely distributed network of small independent servers" — it is meant to be a service through which you have a credible exit if things go to shit for your community. Blacksky saw that some […]

RE: https://mastodon.online/@mastodonmigration/116122828571492086 This is just plain wrong. When you operate a smaller service on AT Protocol, you're not needing to process all the Bluesky data, which happens to be most of the network data at present. Remember: we share resources to share cost […]

RE: https://mastodon.online/@mastodonmigration/116122826580868296 Once again, this is only *if* you want to provide a service to 40+ million users. You probably don't want to do that as an individual. Running a social network is expensive no matter what you do, when you reach a certain scale […]

RE: https://mastodon.online/@mastodonmigration/116122824981352296 Yeah, and it's not uncommon to have Mastodon servers with hundreds of thousands of users, that does require some level of engineering above "just installed the software on a VPS" Currently mastodon.social runs a server for 3.1 […]

RE: https://mastodon.online/@mastodonmigration/116122817979484928 Oh boy, here we go again. The claims in this thread have been debunked a *lot*. Yes, if you want to run a full-network appview as Bluesky scale, then that means you're run a social platform for 42 million users, processing […]

Let me talk, following on @thisismissem's post, about JSON-LD from a data engineering and web backend perspective: It's a nightmare. First: one of the first things you learn about how to address the OWASP lists is the importance of not just accepting random payloads, but carefully validating […]

Folks on here have often said to me that they don't believe there's many apps for AT Protocol, well, maybe this will change minds: https://semble.so/profile/byarielm.fyi/collections/3mfdje7uuhu2r It's just like how the Fedi has it's "big" apps and most people don't know about all the other apps […]

I'm aware that I've been mentioned in a post with regards to @nlnet funding for @loops, seen here: https://mastodon.social/@dansup/116120319973310295 This post was not made with my informed consent. I am *not* involved in Pixelfed nor Loops projects. I have tried in vain to give Daniel advice […]

Woke up to like 10 emails from @nodebb today, I really need to figure out my notification settings

"Americans are baffled"? 🤦‍♀️ Really? Not any of my comrades. We saw that coming from miles away. 🙄 Americans are so thoroughly brainwashed. I am happy to see it breaking more lately, but there are still far too many drinking the red white and blue cool aid.

In which, Blaine Cook ( @blaine ) explains "What is OAuth?" in the framing not of standards and specifications, nor in technical terms, but instead in this framing: > “What I need is to understand why it is designed this way, and to see concrete examples of use cases that motivate the design” […]

This is really interesting as a read, and follow up to @laurenshof's earlier article this week: https://connectedplaces.online/reports/fr154-search-and-community/

Ouch, this is really not a good look for Ghost, @johnonolan “Ghost (CMS) took some heat from the community for a longstanding SQL vulnerability not being addressed in the project's Docker image” […]

RE: https://social.wake.st/@liaizon/116098978692376296 This is like saying you're doing "S3 Extension Proposals", because "multiple projects implemented S3-compatible (enough) APIs and Clients" The only one that defines S3's API is AWS. It's not a standard no matter how many projects […]

@pfefferle on "How is this diff from WS?" for streaming, Server Sent Events is unidirectional, you get what you originally requested. WIth websockets, you can do bidirectional "oh, I want these notifications on this resource", "oh, I'm not interested in that anymore, give me notifications on […]

@trwnh "oauth i think HTTP auth-schemes for WWW-Authenticate and Authorization headers are a good idea to signal which ways of auth are supported. profiling oauth is one step; advertising it as an auth-scheme is a good way to remove ambiguity" Yes, if you make a request to a resource server and […]

@django "with the open-ended nature of the properties in the document, will there be a need or use case for a CIMD AP profile?" You could, AT Protocol did. https://atproto.com/specs/oauth#client-id-metadata-document Note: restricting redirect URI based on "application_type" or "client_id" […]

@steve "will there be CIMD hosting services", you mean like https://cimd-service.fly.dev ? Or: https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-ietf-oauth-client-id-metadata-document-00.html#name-client-metadata-documents-f Effectively, yes. You could have a CIMD hosting service, but if you use the […]

RE: https://mastodon.social/@jensclasen/116096416992866830 Cool story (and I could mostly read it), but unfortunately this relaxed attitude is not what most get with the BVG ticket controllers (arguably making a boy bark to be let off for not having a ticket is a *bit* abusive..)

This is an absolutely fantastic article by @laurenshof https://connectedplaces.online/where-does-community-live/

Every now and then people break into a fight on here over fediverse vs the Atmosphere (or Bluesky, as its main representative). I get it. Many of us get frustrated when we see people flocking to a VC-funded fediverse competitor. But let's focus this energy on making the fediverse a place […]

Oh, and this is a lovely snippet of the hate mail I'm getting from some people right now: And yes, they're send it and then immediately deleting it, but I still get the notification for it. If you think this is an okay way to engage with anyone, you should probably get some help.

It should come as no surprise that I post some content on one network (a high level point) when the much more detailed points were here already by myself and others. That's not "licking one's wounds" that existing concurrently in multiple spaces. The fediverse lives by donations from […]

I don't think people here realized yet how much development has sped up in the "atmosphere*" I fear for the future of the fediverse if we don't get our shit together in some key areas. The way the lexicon system over there allows interoperability between distinct types of data and interface is […]

understanding this would make things a whole lot easier for people
