That is not how I read the specs. Let's look at an example: My handle is @mg@masto.ai What is my "AP identity" in your interpretation of the AP protocol?

The challenges around changing hosting providers are the same for websites, aren't they? It seems to me they are well understood these days. I don't hear many people having a pain point around it anymore. A short TTL usually is en

Unfortunately not. Activitypub Identities are @username@hostname. When you have one of these and want to find the user, you have to ask hostname at ... https://{hostname}/.well-known/webfinger?resource={...} ...

Then when you want to use the AT protocol without a webserver, you would have to set a DNS entry (CNAME) that points to a service like Bluesky. So for users without a web server, it would stay the same amount of work. And for others it woul

Nice! So the file approach does work. Do you have a link to the documentation of the file approach? Why does the DNS approach exist at all? Couldn't users who own a hostname but have not connected it to a webserver have achieved the

What the AT protocol got right is that your handle is also a url. Because it is a hostname. I always thought ActivityPub should have used hostname/username instead of @username@hostname for the handle. Then they would have that advanta

I don't know enough about ActivityPub to be sure, but it seems that the "push" format is the problem? If user U1 on server C1 subscribes to user U2 on server C2, does that mean when U2 posts, C2 sends the post to C1, independ

Interesting. I now see that Twitter scales and crops images the same way, independent of your screen. That makes it indeed predictable, how a posted image will look like.

Shouldn't it be the task of the platform (Twitter/Mastodon/FB/Insta/...) to make images look good? When surrounding an image with a background color before posting it, you have to add a huge margin because you don&#

When you look back on the history of what you hosted, was the overall price you paid for automatic scaling worth it? In my experience, running a web application on a VM which can handle 10x the normal load is pretty cheap. And occurences wh

I wonder if marketing can be automated. "Marketing" exists to bring the right solutions to the people who need them. Maybe that is something we could do via software. Advertising is usually seen as a negative, annoying thing. But

Which one is the "Super Key"? If it is the window key - that one in combination with the arrows is already mapped to tiling functions. Window+UP makes the current window take half of the screen on the upper side.

While it works, the problem with "Alt+F3 ↓ ↓ ↓ →" is that when I move the window afterwards, the cursor keys get passed through to the window. So when I do that on Firefox, the website scrolls up and down. When I do it on a termin

Yes, I already use shortcuts to tile windows and move them between desktops. But this is about a different task: I want to move the current window 10px up when I press ctrl+meta+uparrow.
