If you have a #PixelFed account, I'm over there as https://pixelfed.social/Danyork

Who should I follow on PixelFed?

I set the account up in 2022 but haven’t used it. With the new app making it easier to work with on my iPhone, I may start using it more.

Advocates for #ActivityPub - IF YOU HAVE A #WORDPRESS SITE, have you installed the ActivityPub plugin? https://wordpress.org/plugins/activitypub/

At the State of the Word address this week, Matt Mullenweg was asked about support for the plugin, and he commented that less than 5,000 sites had installed it. So he wasn't sure how interested people are in it.

So... if you have a WP site, let's start installing that plugin and making more sites available via ActivityPub! 😀

@nixCraft The first time was probably… over 35 years ago! 🤣

I have a hard time remembering something that happened last year, let alone that long ago.

You need a third option “It was so long ago I don’t remember” 😃

Way back in 1990, I had the opportunity to spend 6 weeks as a field worker for an ice drilling project on the summit of Greenland’s ice sheet. The researchers were drilling to retrieve an ice core to study climate change.

When my time at the camp was over, I had the chance to hike to the edge of a glacier before leaving. It was all an amazing experience!

Ever since, I have paid attention to news out of #Greenland … and it’s not good🙁

Wow! This is an *amazing* opportunity for the right person! I mean… helping Mozilla lead their entrance into Mastodon / the Fediverse… and doing so while creating a positive social experience!

PLEASE SHARE THIS with people you think might be good candidates. Let’s help Mozilla!

Are there ANY car manufacturers NOT selling data about you / your car?

Reading @pluralistic 's Feb 28 piece about VW tracking cars (and not providing the info unless you pay): https://pluralistic.net/2023/02/28/kinderwagen/

Is anyone keeping a list of car manufacturers who are NOT doing this?
