thanks homebrew
anyone have an insight whats going on with #activitypub integration in #ghost? feel like we've had no updates since launch?
doesnt feel the greatest sign that https://activitypub.ghost.org/ has a copyright "2013–2024"
id love to have the option to migrate @gfsc@social.gfsc.studio to @blog but just feel like this feature is never coming?

@da5nsy@social.coop @nick@bath.social hey just checking you saw this too danny :) https://github.com/geeksforsocialchange/plaparsi/
"your server could go down and noone would know" is not quite the reassuring sales pitch fediverse advocates seem to think it is, lmao
three of my closest venues are called Kim's Kitchen, HOME and YES (like that, in allcaps) and im so bored of the confusion this causes trying to organise anything lol
edit: forgot Society
i guess fedis other problem is dickheads like me spending half our time talking about fedi itself lol

@robhawkes@fosstodon.org yeah for the record im mad at the government for not incentivising everyone to do it! it should be a total financial no brainer not least with all the ~ world events ~. i got a quote for octopus solar too and the maths just wasn't mathing which was a real shame - the govt should make it feel like a good long term investment we are incentivised to get!

@robhawkes@fosstodon.org appreciate the graphic but as someone on the fence about getting one it does read to me like "theres a 1 in 5 chance that you will actually be paying more for your energy after making a huge capital investment"

@fkinstitute@social.coop this looks completely awesome! jsyk the "submit proposal" button doesnt link to anything - would love to chat to you about PlaceCal which i hope might be a good fit for the fund? https://gfsc.community/whats-happening-where-you-live-re-introducing-placecal/

@jandi oh wow so yeah just a little bit of everything! i didnt know the cisco background to zoom!

@arod that makes sense. some people i feel like have a 2-5 second delay even if the ping shows lower. maybe this is why!

@sophie agree, i think the options here aren't great. we built a twine format to do this with for one client and still havn't had the resources to write it up! https://github.com/geeksforsocialchange/enquirywitch

@diffrentcolours yeahh thats my local (altho its so loud nowadays i dont go in as much)

@chrisisgr8 this is litearlly my life and it burns how hard it is to get people to realise (a) most people spend almost all day on the computer (b) the charity/community sector spends almost no money or energy working on how to make this somewhat better, its so grim

@nick@bath.social did you see my little static site that builds from the placecal api? https://github.com/geeksforsocialchange/plaparsi/

i don't think the entire concept of soverignty is one to cede, which really just asks about the relationship between legal governance and technology. there's great work being done by e.g. the Iwi Maori on this front. of course the right have their own nationalistic take on this but for me the really liberal thing is to kinda pretend countries and borders dont exist (esp whilst doing our work on stolen land)
