I know #ActivityPub does not exactly have an official holiday, but on January 23rd (2018) the WC3 gave their official recommendation of ActivityPub, which I believe helped it gain popularity amongst numerous social platforms.

👉🏾 Happy #Fediverse Day! https://darnell.day/happy-fediverse-day

So if you can, raise a glass of gratitude to the five founders of the Fediverse (listed in the link), as without them the masses would lack credible alternatives to the major social networks that exist today.

So tonight, I spent some time correcting all the outstanding TypeScript errors on a personal project, and eventually eliminated all of them.

I felt *amazing*. I even started to think "ok, wow, this is awesome! Maybe I really love TypeScript now!"

But then I realized...my code runs 100% the same. None of the issues left could've ever caused problems at runtime. Literally impossible. They were just editor squigglies.

I think a lot of devs just focus on the feeling, and forget the context.

The trailer for the new Avatar: The Last Airbender show looks decent, but even if the show turns out to be a faithful recreation of the original I'm not sure what for? The original is already perfect. It's still there. Why does it have to be recreated again?

@sophie Hey I just came across your website. The design on it is really dope! I love the background image of the pixel cityscape, the neon lights on hover, and the oldschool font. It all looks really good.

He pulled out of the Iran nuclear deal. Now, Iran could enrich enough uranium for multiple nukes in as little as 2 weeks.

Trump pulled out of the INF and Open Skies.

He didn’t extend New START.

Trump escalated the Saudi-led war in Yemen with the Houthis — which we are seeing the results of now.

Trump assassinated the head of the IRGC (which, to be fair, was a good move)

Trump almost tweeted us into nuclear war with North Korea. Twice.

Trump’s air campaign led to a 330% increase in civilian deaths in Afghanistan.

Multiple special operations troops died in combat during the Trump administration.

Trump was a foreign policy nightmare, and people trying to gloss over that is maddening.

Party of personal freedom strikes again!

Oklahoma bill SB1976 would make sending or viewing any "obscene materials" outside marriage a felony

It gets better. The bill is from repeal-no-fault divorce advocate, Dusty Deevers (R)

😃

Besides restricting viewing as much as a butt cheek, it would also be a misdemeanor to even pose for *anything* deemed erotic

And, like most times they take away freedoms, they’re hiding it under the banner of “save the children!”

Verily I tell you that the Hunter BS is far more a story of Trump's corruption than Hunter's.

Because it's a story of how Trump has and would use the Justice System to persecute anyone who gets in his way.

A magnitude 7.1 earthquake struck a sparsely populated part of China’s western Xinjiang region early Tuesday, causing extensive damage, and leaving three people dead, authorities said.

The quake was the latest in a series of seismic events and natural disasters to hit the vast country's western regions.

The quake rocked Uchturpan county in Aksu prefecture shortly after 2 a.m. local time Monday, the China Earthquake Networks Center said.
