Today, I am releasing a #Golang library for decoding ActivityStreams 2.0 objects into native Go objects and also for encoding Go objects into ActivityStreams 2.0 JSON objects.

Repo: https://github.com/MatejLach/astreams

The usage is your typical Go Marshal/Unmarshal, (see tests for examples).

The license is copyleft (AGPLv3).

Your feedback (and a star) are welcome :-)

so the reason screenshots of video games on Wikipedia are low resolution is because that's the only way it will be fair use for Wikipedia under US copyright law

So #Debian has choosen #systemd as their preferred init system again, which is good, I hope the anti-systemd bashers will accept this outcome, which was arrived to by consensus and will from now on focus on moving Debian forward, instead of scheming to force another, useless vote on init systems down the road, as has happened in the past.

systemd has won because while not perfect, it's clearly superior to a pile of bash scripts.

@rysiek Okay, then you can take a look at https://addons.thunderbird.net/en-US/thunderbird/addon/autocrypt/

You can force encryption, you can not fuck up as easily as with Enigmail, it's compatible with Thunderbird 68+, you don't have to explain how keys work.

Good luck with everything!

I'm rather strict when it comes to software freedom, but re-basing your #Linux distro on #OpenBSD because Linux may use #rustlang at some point & you dislike the #Mozilla trademark policy, which is a different matter from the software itself being free, is rather absurd, even for my tastes.

The Mastodon documentation has been rewritten by @trwnh. It now has a search function and a different design as it's now hosted on GitBooks. Take a look!

I don’t often talk about my work but I am quite proud that my book has finally been published.

It’s a textbook called “Operating Systems Foundations with Linux on the Raspberry Pi”.

Now that .org is in the hands of a shady private equity fund, I'd prefer not to give them any new business.

What does the fediverse feel is the most suitable TLD for a FLOSS project these days?
