Cool. There's a new #activitypub platform for blogging called #plume, meant to be an alternative to #medium. This could be a pretty big deal, because it means orgs can go all in on the #fediverse. They can have a #mastodon/#pleroma acct for quick communication and host their blog on plume instead of medium and all of it will federate, so users can choose how to follow and communicate with them.

Mastodon could get their blog off medium and @deadsuperhero can get #wedistribute onto the fediverse.

The 'box of virtual appliances' model of computing is simply Not Acceptable.

OMG I thought the whole "Trump said Mexicans aren't really people" was anti-Trump propaganda bullshit but as it turns out he actually said that (well, in a Trump way, the usual drunken rambling style, so not that verbatim). Damn USA, I feel so sorry for you.
