Anson Mount is sitting across from me on one of the Toronto soundstages for the Paramountt series "Star Trek: Strange New Worlds," which is set in the years when his character, Capt. Christopher Pike, led the legendary Federation starship with a young Spock and Uhura.

1/ You know what's awesome? The report "Connecting BC: A Ten Year Vision And Investment Plan For Public Transit Throughout BC” released 10 days ago!
It is: “a new province-wide vision, uniting local and regional transit into an integrated whole”.
I'll list the points of the plan in this thread. But you can find the Executive Summary and Report here:

 A Screenshot of the front page of the report shows a purple background with four different lines crossing in the style of a subway or transit map with nodes on the ends and marks at intervals along the lines. The logo for the BC Federation of Labour is on the bottom left. The title is printed on the bottom.

A screenshot of the Fediverse wiki page that says "The fediverse (a portmanteau of "federation" and "universe") is an ensemble of social networks which can communicate with each other, while remaining independent platforms. Users on different social networks and websites can send and receive updates from others across the network.

ActivityPub, a W3C standard, is the most widely used protocol that powers the fediverse. Noted fediverse platforms include Mastodon, Lemmy, PeerTube, and Pixelfed.

…
A screenshot from the Fediverse wiki page that says "The term fediverse was first used to describe the network formed by software using the OStatus protocol, such as GNU Social, Mastodon, and Friendica.[1]

In January 2018, the W3C presented the ActivityPub protocol, aiming to improve the interoperability between different software packages run on a wide network of servers. By 2019, a majority of software that was previously using OStatus had switched to ActivityPub,[2] and the term "fediverse"…

Thought I'd try reading a Star Trek novel so I went for The Antares Maelstrom by Greg Cox.
It had good characterizations of the familiar star-ship crew but felt slow and poorly paced. I guess coz it's so much longer than a 50 minute TV show.
The way the Federation has supposedly done away with money and need makes a gold-rush story difficult to fathom. How can you have a gold-rush ("pangeum" rather than actual gold) of people heading to a mining-planet if nobody uses money or has any personal wealth?
By making the planet only a potential Federation member, it turns out.
Then everyone can act like a Ferengi.
Anyway, it was okay, but didn't really feel much like watching the old TV shows did.

Finally, Bluesky also says they are planning with the first steps of federation at the end of the month. At that point, anyone will be able to run their own data server (PDS) and join the network. At this point, the network will be federated (meaning that any nodes in the network can contact and communicate with each other), but not decentralised yet (as Bluesky will still run the other parts of the pipeline, the Relay and AppView). However, this already changes the network significantly, as Ry…

It’s a wonderful sentiment, the idea that you can pack up everything and take it with you. The problem is, most platforms on the network can, at best, redirect your followers to a new account.

The Jewish Vacation Guide, first published around 1916, was a compilation of places where it was safe for Jews to eat, sleep and visit. Dozens of the listings touted kosher meals, often made with farm-fresh butter and eggs. The guide connected Jews to a network of places that did not just tolerate, but welcomed them. Many of the rented rooms were far from luxurious, but they made up for modest offerings with hospitality and affordability. A large number of these places were in the Catskills,…

"It sounds like at first #Threads users who opt into federation will be able to see likes and boosts of their posts from non-Threads accounts, but replies won't come through yet. Again, annoying, but will surely be fixed in time. My expectation here is that one draw of federating will be your increased reach to more people, so broadcasting your posts to more people will have value to some…&…

It's so great to see all of you and your interesting projects and creations across such a variety of hobbies and professions.
It's only going to get better with Threads federation under way! Future of Fedi will sure be interesting and I'm glad to be a part of something that could fundamentally change the way "Internet" is done as a whole.
The future awaits. After years of gaining st…

#Spam killed independent email, putting everyone under big corp email services.
It was just a matter of time before the same thing threatened to happen here. And it may not be a coincidence that it happened as big corp is considering federation.
Hopefully, we've learned a thing or two with what happened to email and avoid doing the same here.

The Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced Thursday that it was sanctioning Jeff Seldin, who covers national security at VOA.
Seldin was among several reporters, including some from The Washington Post and The New York Times, to be included in this latest spate of sanctions against U.S. citizens.
In total, 227 American citizens were included in this round of sanctions over what the Russian government said was “anti-Russian activity.”

phpc.social has defederated with wulf.social as it's currently being used as a spam vector, hasn't had admin post activity in months, and hasn't interacted with our instance prior to spamming it.
We're erring on the side of keeping federation so instance admins whose only crime was allowing open signups don't get caught in the crossfire, but if an instance is abandonware other than spam, sorry :(

Zerok won't release that code until the gold is in the hands of the Federation.
