  1. Googles Script für die neue Bevorzugte-Quellen-Funktion ist ein Honeypot. Viele Seiten, deren RSS ich nutze, zeigen das plötzlich an.
    Neben Tracking macht das die Seiten noch mehr von Google abhängig. Ich halte meine Webseiten frei von so einem Tracking. Am besten direkt die Blocklisten des Pihole mit dem Script von Google aktualisieren.

  2. Just randomly thinking about how I can write a valid HTML page and it will work on any browser, and on any server, on the internet.

    It would be really cool if any ActivityPub post I made essentially followed the same expectation, wouldn’t it?

  3. A new `/llms.txt` file has been proposed to standardize how LLMs interact with websites. This Markdown file, placed in the root directory, provides brief background info, guidance, and links to detailed files, helping LLMs quickly understand key content and process website information. Companies like Anthropic are already adopting this standard, further fueling the rise of unreliable AI search engines.

  4. How do you petition W3 to accept a standard?

    Every major browser supports a "fill available" keyword, but all of them are prefixed.

    - "-moz-available"
    - "-webkit-fill-available"
    - idk what the Chrome one is but I know it exists

    The page generator I'm using (Ktor) supports the keywords "available", "fill-available", and "-webkit-fill-available" but not "-moz-available" which is the only one FireFox/Librewolf supports.

    I can manually set it to "-moz-available", yes. But then I only support Firefox-based browsers. Which I'm not opposed to at this point in time, but one day I might prefer another browser and this will be obsolete.

    If I were writing this page statically, I would have the option of writing all of the (broken) options in, but the generator only supports one option at a time.

  5. Friendly reminder how creepy some early standards were which tried to show connections between websites and the people running them.

    The 'XFN 1.1 relationships meta data profile' standard defines rel="me" which we use now for Mastodon verification but it defines rel="crush", "sweetheart", "muse" and "date" as well and maybe we should revisit some old standards and remove those creepy things.

  11. For all of my #Filipino fans (fans?!), #Friendster is making a comeback. ^_^

    Currently, by invite only, but you can sign up for the waitlist. I wonder if it's powered by the #webstandard #ActivityPub protocol (a.k.a. #Fediverse network). Hmm…

  14. @Tain05 Welcome to the #Fediverse network!

    Firstly, don't forget to post your #intro (with that hashtag), as many fediverse users are following/watching that hashtag. You can also check: fediverse.info/explore/people

    Secondly, don't be shy in using hashtags in your post and on your profile description. Hashtags will help big time in content discovery.

    Now, the technical terms you might encounter, and hopefully won't get confused.

    * There are different fediverse software available, for example #Mastodon is the one running on your instance. Each software offers a different set of features.

    For example, there is #Firefish (flagship server at firefish.social) (bonus: you can attach more than 4 images); there is #Pixelfed (flagship server at pixelfed.social) which is geared towards sharing images (you can attach more than 4 images). There is also #BookWyrm (flagship: bookwyrm.social), think #GoodReads; and #PeerTube (think #YouTube and #Vimeo); or #Friendica #Hubzilla and #Streams; to mention a few.

    * An instance is the same as a server. Each instance is running on one particular fediverse software.

    * Different instances are interoperable and interconnected. They do this through the #ActivityPub protocol, which is a #WebStandard managed by the @w3c.

    * There are also fediverse group services like chirp.social and a.gup.pe - Chirp Social allows for moderation but requires creating an admin account. Guppe groups doesn't offer moderation features, however, it is the easiest to create (in case you are interested in starting your own). Both are free-of-charge.

    * There are also custom #frontend available. Some instances offer their own custom frontend. This is different from themes/skins. For example, this post, I sent it from the phanpy.social frontend for Mastodon. There is also trunks.social frontend also for Mastodon. Think #Twitter, but you're accessing it from #TweetDeck.

    * There are also mobile apps available. Some can handle different fediverse software, some only made specifically for one particular fediverse software.

    For some #history:
    * The fediverse was born in 2008-05-18 when Evan Prodromou sent the first message “This is my first post”.

    * The term “fediverse” was only coined on 2012-05-25 by Mark Eckenwiler. It was known originally as #Identiverse which was coined by Luke Slater on 2010-03-14.

    * The current protocol, ActivityPub, was started on 2014-09-06 and only became a web standard on 2018-01-23. The first protocol was known as #OpenMicroBlogging which later was replaced by #OStatus in 2010-03-04.

  15. What would #theInternet be like if everyone tested and designed their web experiences based on individual connections of maximum 28kbps.

    Imagine we have multiple 28kbps connections going at once, but a server basically refuses to deliver to a single client at a speed greater than 28k.

    Would such an #internet be intriguing to you?

  21. If a non-geek ever asks you how #WebStandard work, or any other tech standards or protocols for that matter, chances are they're not asking you to explain the arcane technical details of HTTP and HTML, they're asking you what a standard or protocol *is*. One place to send them is this talk by #JeremyKeith:
