How big is the ActivityPub network?

Because it’s decentralised, we don’t have an exact total. Based on data we have about the largest ActivityPub platforms, particularly Meta/Threads, it’ll be between 170-200million users by the summer of 2024. Ghost will be adding tens-of-millions more to that total.

Are you working together with anyone else on this?

Yes! Our friends at Buttondown are also building ActivityPub support right now, and we've received kind offers of help from teams at Mastodon & the ActivityPub spec authors.

Nice that Buttondown is also into it.

It is possible to have 2FA with a security key and ssh. Been on my to do list for some time to try it.

I've tried Snikket a few years ago. Nice project. 👍

And if that’s the case, should I just always use a VPN? And furthermore, shouldn’t you have always used a VPN prior to this anyways?

No idea about these USA specific things but always using a VPN would mean that you need to trust your VPN provider more than your ISP and your government. There is only one commercial VPN provider that I trust and one non commercial one. But then there is Tor, and the slower i2p. You also have to take into account that VPN blocking appears to be increasing. For all kind of shopping on-line and filling in forms for government related things (Things like let's say e.g. request money support for a wheel chair) I cannot use VPN because they're blocked or worse : time out. And I found out that lemmy.world likes to block Tor and VPN for posting and uploads. Reading is allowed though. So all in all you have no smooth sailing guaranteed.

Excuse me laughing after reading this 😂

openSUSE has German origins, but was bought in the past by Novell in USA, then went into other USA hands, and then it was sold to a Swedish company's German sub division, and located in Luxembourg. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SUSE_S.A.

Thanks for mentioning this.

The government modified the regulations again, substantially loosening them, and Bernstein, now a professor at the University of Illinois at Chicago, challenged them again. This time, he chose to represent himself, although he had no formal legal training. On October 15, 2003, almost nine years after Bernstein first brought the case, the judge dismissed it and asked Bernstein to come back when the government made a "concrete threat".

Compile it yourself! File a bug report with the software developer! (I'm just the messenger of this post) I've shared the web link of the project for people who dislike having too many Electron based applications on their computer, like people using older hardware. You may be fine with the Electron based one, screen shots of that here : https://delta.chat/en/

As far as I am concerned self checkouts will be deprecated just like self driving cars. And organic bananas FTW!

Cool!
