@DMakarios@theres.life totally! I recently was recommending boox or kobo readers as they are not owned by bezos!
Also the entire history of literature, out of copyright, is available for free on Gutenberg.

@John Timing indeed! Interesting choice for the recall. Given none have caught fire in the 5 years they have been on the road... Seems like a minor error that could be checked at a service... Not requiring a recall.
Who is behind this sudden recall 🤔

@bms48@mastodon.social @tchambers@indieweb.social I am finding LinkedIn getting worse and worse. There is almost a cost of using it professionally now. It is crazy.
The feed is great, but so annoying how it changes.
I much prefer the fedi.
I am thinking of booting up the AP LinkedIn instance that was created, tested and shut down due to the workload.

@Mastodon@mastodon.social I'm putting a proposal for a grant to my local council for them to run or fund running a local server. Would be great to have "official" mastodon support for that grant app. Spreading the fediverse and opensource knowledge to more people.

@wjmaggos @pj @cwarzel.bsky.social yes, ghost sort of does it. I did dive a little into adding mastodon / activity pub to WordPress too, but got caught up with work. I think a creator protocol is a great idea! I imagined a subscription model for #foss and #creators where you track who you visit/consume each month. Then reward a % of your subscription to them. Roadblocks
- How to manage it?
- Transaction costs
- How to track it?
This discussion, and being on fedi, makes me... /

@wjmaggos @pj @cwarzel.bsky.social.. Think it should be a user thing. Maybe a federated payment server? Or something.
You install your own personal tracker, and rules about how to distribute the funds. Then the funds are sent to the local fedi pay server of the creator.
All controlled by the user. Owned by the user.
Maybe it is a ETH coin that is currency tied, to reduce transaction costs.
That part can come later.
The important thing is personal tracking, via personal data... /

yes, crypto doesn't have a great reputation - but I think this is the type of think it was actually designed for - small transactions, low cost, fast.
But adding a level of difficulty for now.
Maybe just start with tracking and self reporting.
Then add the "pool of money" distribution part. Relatively difficult given the global world, and the not so global currency/ banking system.
But someone like #Wise might be able to help with that

@wjmaggos @pj @cwarzel.bsky.social... Something like @kevin's reader app, that you setup yourself.
Just not sure how to it to track in apps. But maybe a new masto/activity pub reader fork could add this ability where you put your personal tracking server details there. Some api hosted by a federated fedipay server. That you can host yourself, or join other accounts. Same sort of rules as the fediverse.

@bms48@mastodon.social @tchambers@indieweb.social @jerod@theforkiverse.com that is the ultimate problem. People don't wanna come until people are there... The ultimate startup / new tech problem... How to get to the early majority....
I think fedi has one advantage... Also a disadvantage. No real ongoing costs to operate, but no real driver to expand network either...
Every time you click “forgot password”…
that’s a warning sign.
It usually means:
• No system
• No ownership
• No recovery plan
That’s exactly what scammers rely on.
A proper local setup removes this chaos completely.
Simple > clever. Always.

My understanding is that AP needs a DNS for users. A UNS maybe, I think that is the gist of the article that you linked to right?
AP then uses username and post id as PK and when you serve a post to a feed, it checks the synced UNS for where that user is currently hosted.
Is that right?

@FediTips@social.growyourown.services you might be interested in this browser extension I made... https://github.com/cclambie/fediverse-home-server-refactor
Helps if you are browsing another server to follow users on that server.
