The contrary is indeed claimed too often. This is far from a simple protocol, and that's probably to be expected seeing its history and success.

Looks like the protocols landscape for writing LLM based agents will turn into a mess.

Nice post about the practical impacts of Postel's law. It's especially problematic in the case of Open Source software. Companies producing proprietary software even use that to their advantage.

Looks like there are people out there to get Tor relays down... and they found a smart networking trick I'd expect to not work anymore.

Interesting explanation of the different visions and governance behind ActivityPub and ATProto.

This is definitely getting there in terms of performance and usability. The mobile clients seem mature enough, just need the desktop clients to catch up before this becomes really something I'd feel confident enough to recommend and push for.

Looks like we're stuck in the middle of the bridge. Also looks like the motivation to finish the transition isn't high.

Interesting view about the LSP specification, where it shines, and where it falls short.

Interesting stuff coming in that space, but at a very slow pace. This is unfortunate since it makes adoption slower too.

Looks like an interesting protocol for resilient peer to peer data stores. Let's see how it spreads.

Finally a standardized protocol for end-to-end encryption! Let's see where this gets used.

It's unclear what really drove the adoption this far. Still, it's clearly the default option in many cases.

Interesting dive into the DisplayPort protocol and its advantages, looking forward to the next article in this series.

This is an excellent and needed work of contextualization. Ten years after, looking back at how the Snowden Revelations impacted the internet and the work done by the IETF. It also shows there is plenty more to do...

Interesting article. This is a good introduction to the ActivityPub protocol. It also gives nice flies and pointers on how to dive deeper.

This clearly doesn't look as interesting as ActivityPub...

Interesting piece. It shows quite well what users have lost with the over reliance on HTTP for everything. Moving more and more things in the brother fosters walled gardens indeed. Compound this with branding obsession from most company and you indeed end up with an absurd situation.
