It's not quite an <a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/RSS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RSS</span></a> feed, but it's awesome in its own right.</p>
ActivityPub for WordPress<p><strong>Bridging the gap</strong></p>
<p>The fediverse aims for a truly decentralized, interoperable social web, yet the landscape is still fragmented. Bridgy Fed helps close those gaps by letting ActivityPub-enabled WordPress sites form real two-way connections with networks like Bluesky. With the ActivityPub plugin activated, you can link your blog to Bluesky in a few clicks. After that, posts, follows, likes, and replies flow natively between the two worlds.</p>

The implementation includes extensive test coverage for cancellation scenarios across all affected components and lays the groundwork for <a href="https://github.com/fedify-dev/fedify/issues/258" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">adding <code>--timeout</code> options to various CLI commands like <code>fedify lookup</code></a>, <code>fedify webfinger</code>, and <code>fedify nodeinfo</code>, making federated applications more robust and responsive.</p><p><a translate="no" class="h-card u-url mention" href="https://hackers.pub/@ooheunda" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>ooheunda</span></a> addressed a testing infrastructure issue with <a href="https://github.com/fedify-dev/fedify/pull/350" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">PR #350</a>, fixing a race condition in PostgreSQL message queue tests that was causing intermittent failures (<a href="https://github.com/fedify-dev/fedify/issues/346" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">issue #346</a>).

Das Resultat ist ein UInt8Array für alle naturalLanguage-Texte. Andere Sprachen können aus Corpora generiert werden.</p><p>Es bietet sich insbesondere für ältere oder wenig genutzte Objekte an. <br>Das Resultat im Demo ist etwa 25% des Originals. Ich weiss halt nicht, ob das gut ist.</p><p>[EN] Esteemed fediverse<br>see the readme of the repo for semantic compression</p>
