New: A Conceptual Model of ATProto and ActivityPub

You might want to know a little bit more about how #Bluesky and #atproto works, without needing to know all the technical details. This is a high level overview of how to think about how atproto works, and how it differs from #ActivityPub.

It is also a reflection on the concepts of decentralisation and federation, and what they bring to both the #fediverse and the #atmosphere

Read at: fediversereport.com/a-conceptu…

One of the main subjects of discussion recently has been whether Bluesky is decentralised and if it is federated. I think answering these questions requires a clarity on how ATProto differs conceptually from ActivityPub. Decentralisation and federation are valued for how they impact power structures, but there are multiple ways to build other power structures in open social networks. A bit of the summary at the top, since that might help during reading: The conceptual model of ActivityPub resembles that of email: independent servers sending messages to each other. The conceptual model of ATProto resembles that of the web: independent sites publish data, and indexers aggregate this data into different views and apps.

A conceptual model of ATProto and ActivityPub

If you were to design an open social networking protocol, what would that look like? Which metaphors and comparisons would you use to get a general idea of how the network functions? And what would you answer if people ask if your network is decentra…

Hello everyone!

I write my bachelor's thesis about Mastodon as an alternative social network and how its users perceive the platform.

I would be greateful if you would particpate in my survey:
umfragen.uni-paderborn.de/inde…

It only takes 10-15 minutes and would help me a lot.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

In case you want to support me, you can repost the access link, which would also help me.

Thank you!

Gajim is currently migrating from GTK3 to GTK4. 🔧 GTK is Gajim's user interface toolkit. It provides building blocks, like windows, buttons and labels. 🧩

Version 4 of this toolkit brings performance improvements to Gajim, e.g. faster rendering of user interface elements. 💨
Additionally, switching to GTK4 allows Gajim to use newer widgets, like nice drop downs.
Here is a quick peek at a new group chat "@ mention" widget. 😎

Stay tuned! :xmpp:

gtk.org

#gajim #xmpp #chat #gtk4

A message input with a popover showing a list of group chat participants which can be mentioned. The message input contains "@ca", which triggers a popover with group chat participants filtered by "ca".

Hugh Nelson sentenced to actual prison for creating AI-generated images of children. Fascinating case on multiple levels. But the fact remains that he received a longer sentence than if he had actually raped a child...because of AI. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cq6l24…

Man who made 'depraved' child images with AI jailed for 18 years

Hugh Nelson, who used software to create images, told police he was "very corrupted and warped".

Ui-wooo! Hetzner is one week late with their Halloween "prank": 3 maintenance windows in a row, November 6, 7 and 8. We hopefully won't be affected for the full time (they wrote "just a few minutes") but of course cannot tell *exactly* when. So some time within those windows.

Again, only the primary servers are affected. Our mirrors will still be available to you for app updates and installs.

If you read my book Sandworm and/or care about Ukraine, please understand that Trump does not, and if elected he will very likely let Putin win.

"For Ukrainians, the outcome of the US election could be a matter of life and death."

Vote accordingly.

GNOME's streaming radio app is... really good


Shortwave is a Rust-based streaming radio (IP radio/internet radio) application written by Felix Häcker, and it's my favorite way to manage my streaming radio stations on Linux. It's a GNOME Circle application but I use it on KDE Plasma and Sway, and it works fine over there (for me anyway). Maybe you'll like it!
