WordPress.com 支援 ActivityPub

Hacker News 上看到「WordPress.com Now Supports ActivityPub (wordpress.com)」這則,在講 WordPress.com 宣佈支援 ActivityPub:「Engage a Wider Audience With ActivityPub on WordPress.com」。

Hacker News 上的 id=37849725 這篇的說明其實更清楚,其實是 plugin 被 Automattic 買走後包裝起來的行動:

It is more accurate to say that the ActivityPub plugin[1] which was acquired by Automattic has hit 1.0 and is available to be used on WordPress.com. Yes, Mastodon implements (most of) ActivityPub but it's hardly the only platform on the web that does.

Anyway 這是個不錯的發展... 之後 Mastodon 上可以直接訂這些 blog 了?

GitLab 想要支援 ActivityPub

看到「Support ActivityPub for merge requests」這則消息,這個 epic 的作者 Derek Ferguson 可以看到是 GitLab 家的「Group Manager, Product」,看起來是產品團隊的主管職 (不是很確定)。

這張 epic 想建立跨 GitLab 服務之間的 ecosystem:

There already has been several very popular discussions around this (see here, here and the epic here). The gist of it is: what people really want is to have one global "Gitlab network" to be able to interact between various projects without having to register on each of their hosts.

不過目前像是在討論階段?但既然是由內部提出來的,目前的討論看起來也還算... 正面?應該是有機會看到後續的更新...

難得看到 John Resig 的 Blog 更新,在講 Mastodon

jQuery 的發明人 John Resig 已經超久沒更新 blog 了,雖然有訂起來但沒想到會看到他更新:「Twitter vs. Mastodon」。上次的更新是 2016 年初,快七年了。

基本上裡面就是解釋 TwitterMastodon 的差異,然後順便介紹他自己的 Mastodon 帳號。

不過目前看了一輪,ActivityPub 的各種實做還是離理想差了一截,可能會先繼續龜著...
