  • I did not have as many times as I wanted. I had one chance per question, no re takes. What’s fucking hilarious is my reference was more important than the fucking screener. I got fired by a company for budget concerns supposedly but not on bad terms and this company contracts with them and apparently the hiring manager called my former engineering manager and I got a good word so to the top I went. Fucking hate the stain of AI.





  • I’ve been using mastodon for nearly a decade now. The major thing I think is missing from ActivityPub is a decentralized/federated way of doing auth. The ideal for me in ActivityPub is having a profile/DID service provider that you then can attach to services. This would theoretically be like having just a federated identity (or however many identities you want) that you can then go to a lemmy instance or mastodon instance etc and “log in with federated ID” like log in with Google but not dependent on a corporation.

    Auth and identity in general is definitely the biggest hurdle with ActivityPub. Right now it’s a bunch of distinct and non-tied profiles, which isn’t necessarily bad, but many people would like an easier way of doing this. Instead of saying “which lemmy do I want to join” it’s just “which identity service do I want?” and then go to and use any mastodon or lemmy or Pixelfed service with that single account. There’s many ways to do this, but it’s definitely possible (in theory, right now there isn’t a spec for this afaik, we just have DIDs and those are very very very young specs.











  • Leftists and ultra right wing were starting to get banned on Reddit long ago and federation and internet archtiecture and infrastructure is made by generally leftists and libertarian types. Gab is fediverse software. Lemmy.ml and hexbear are ex chapotraphouse folks. So yeah, lots of leftists and libertarian types are around these niche and relatively new (I started using the fediverse nearly 10 years ago lol). Surprise pikachu face when normal people stop using reddit and twitter and see leftists having discussions out in the open without recourse since they were shielded from them by corporations, but it shouldn’t be that surprising honestly
