Now that is good news. At the moment, we have a xkcd/927 situation on our hands.
- ftio 10y agoTangent: I just typed `xkcd/927` in Safari and it took me directly to the XKCD page. Is this some kind of Safari easter egg? It doesn't work in Chrome or Firefox. I want this to be true.
- tedmiston 10y agoConfirmed here too. I think you're on to something. It worked with xkcd/<anything> for me.
- kpcyrd 10y agosome browsers add .com automatically, try again with example/1234
- tedmiston 10y agoHmm, you may be correct. The pattern seems to work generally. example/123 --> http://www.example.com/123 http://www.example.com/123 facebook/someusername --> https://www.facebook.com/someusername https://www.facebook.com/someusername I tried on Mobile Safari too but it didn't seem to expand there.
- daveid 10y agoActivityPub is a successor to ActivityStreams/Salmon which Mastodon and GNU social are currently using. At least with these it's not really a xkcd/927 situation.
- qwertyuiop924 10y agoDiaspora? Pump.io? Patchwork (the SSB thing)?
- erikb 10y agoWhy do you drop other names? Diaspora is a tool, not a standard. If they are still developing that then they may actually implement to read and share data in the standard as well.
- qwertyuiop924 10y agoHowever, they haven't done that yet. So they're competing "standards," even if one isn't standardized.
- clacke2 10y agoAn announced successor is still xkcd/927 until it actually replaces all use of the predecessors. Case in point: pump.io is the successor of OStatus and StatusNet.
