I was on vacation recently and Apple Maps gave a weirdly circuitous route from our hotel to a restaurant. I checked Google Maps and it showed the direct route I expected, so I went with that.

Google Maps routed me on to a street that was closed due to construction, Apple Maps was smart enough to route around the construction.

I expect general parity between Apple and Google Maps, I had not expected Apple to have better data.

What is RTX in this context?

To be clear, this creates a separate Pixelfed account, it just uses your Mastodon info for quick profile setup and authentication.

Document document document.

Also, the nice thing about libraries, frameworks, and CMSs is that they already have documentation. If it seems like a pain to learn one of those, imagine how much worse it would be for someone to learn custom code that doesn’t have any resources on Google.

For personal activity logs, !ObsidianMD@lemmy.world with a synced folder. It could probably work for a team too.

Here’s a Masto post from an ex-employee:

Thinking about making a “I was part of the Tumblr activityPub federation project ask me how it ended” t-shirt and wear it on my PFP here.

The CEO posted this reply to Twitter, acknowledging that Meta had beaten Tumblr to the Fediverse.

Here’s a screenshot of a post suggesting it’s not a high priority.

docker-compose gives host names to everything, so you can just use those. If it’s local, then whoever is setting it up needs to give it a DNS record.

In addition to the ActivityPub plugin, I would add the Friends plugin. When you have both, Friends will let you follow and respond to people via your WP site. At some point I want to make my Masto account followers-only and make my WP blog my public ActivityPub identity.

If you make a post and tag @fediverse@lemmy.world it should post the first line as the title. If you include a link, I think it will post it as a link too.

Edit: found the issue, it looks like links aren’t supported but it uses the first part of a post as the title.

IIRC the post format is:

Title
@community@server
Body text

I saw your post on Mastodon, that’s where I found out about it!

TIL, good to know!

The difference between Docker and a VM is that Docker shares a kernel, but provides isolated processes and filesystems. macOS has a very distinct kernel from Linux (hence why Docker on macOS uses a Linux VM), I would be shocked if it could run on a Linux Docker host. Maybe you were running macOS in a VM?

A highly opinionated guide to learning about ActivityPub

Google’s promotion-pack culture strikes again. You don’t get promoted at Google for “maintaining a successful product and keeping people happy.” You do get promoted for launching a new product, even if it competes with another well-liked Google product.

So if you want to be successful at Google, you launch a new chat service.

What tags are you using? Android or iOS?

That’s what I have, along with armcrest2mqtt for triggering things when the doorbell rings.
