    Hello FediverseIf everything works out according to plan, when I hit publish on this post it will show up in the #Fediverse. After a year of on-and-off attempts, to implement #ActivityPub on this website, with no success, I have hopefully cracked it! Well, when I say โ€œI have hopefully cracked it,โ€ what I mean is @pfefferle@mastodon.social and the #WordPress โ€œopen office hoursโ€ program, have cracked it. It turns out; if you have a problem with the WordPress ActivityPub plugin, the best thing to do is disable other plugins and, though a process of elimination, see if one of them is the issue. So big thanks to Mathias and WordPress for your help on this.Now this is working and I am broadcasting out into the Fediverse, I feel like I should modify my content a little to appeal to all of you woke, leftists, godless, communists ๐Ÿ™‚ out there. For a while I was far too smitten with the every little #Sustainability initiative, every little carbon reduction program, and every other bit of ย #GreenWashing that was put out there by brands. Full confession I actually believed that ElonMusk wanted to save the planet! Yeh I know, I was naiveโ€ฆWhile I do continue to applaud any actions that a corporation takes, that materially helps either people or planet, itโ€™s clear that problems are systemic. We need corporations to shift from Shareholder Primacy to Stakeholder Capitalism, valuing environmental and social impact alongside profit. Or try someting completely different. Right now, if there is a more sustainable or ethical brand choice to be had, we should always take it, but we must understand, that we are not โ€œsaving the planetโ€ with those choices, just minimising our impact. Nebula TV channel, Our Changing Climate, ย has this excellent video on the subject of Ethical Consumerism.It turns out, that whoever first pointed out โ€œCorporations are Psychopathsโ€ was mostly correct โ€“ How a corporation is designed to function, putting shareholders before people and planet, is psychopathic behaviour. (Psychopathic behaviour includes a lack of empathy and remorse, superficial charm, manipulation, and a disregard for social norms and the rights of others.) The only solution is to rewrite corporate charters and incorporation acts and include specific legal provisions that mandate environmental and social responsibility, shifting the core purpose of business beyond mere profit maximisation. Ultimately Corporations and their leaders are never going to fully act in the best interests of people and planet, because thatโ€™s not what they were created to do.So the plan, for 2026, is to be posting more content here that challenges both brands and the whole system. To shine a light on the negative impacts to people and planet that brands are having. And to share more content about organisations and companies working on regeneration and decarbonisation.Please follow and share your thoughts and ideas below.#activitypub #branding #corporations #fediverse #sustaiability #sustainability #wordpress

    Destroying Autocracy โ€“ December 04, 2025Welcome to this weekโ€™s โ€œDestroying Autocracyโ€.Itโ€™s your source for curated news affecting democracy in the cyber arena with a focus on protecting it. That necessitates an opinionated Butlerian jihad against big tech as well as evangelizing for open-source and the Fediverse. Since big mediaโ€™s journalism wing is flailing and failing in its core duty to democracy, this is also a collection of alternative reporting on the eternal battle between autocracy and democracy. We also cover the cybersecurity world. You canโ€™t be free without safety and privacy.FYI, my opinions will be in bold. And will often involve cursing. Because humans. Especially tech bros. And fascists. Fuck โ€™em.The Programmerโ€™s Fulcrum is the future (and smaller) home for a fusion of Symfony Station and Battalion. Its tagline is Devs Defending Democracy, Developing the OMN.You can sign up now and for 2025 get an email with links to each weekโ€™s Symfony Station Communiquรฉ and Battalion โ€œDestroying Autocracyโ€ post along with their featured articles. And youโ€™ll be set with TPF after the fusing in January.We are posting on the Fediverse now at @thefulcrum @thefulcrum.dev and original website content will start next month.Featured Item(s)Hamish Campbell writes:ActivityPub is a shared vocabulary, a public language for moving meaning and connection across the open web. It gives you nouns and verbs, and the community defines the grammar through lived use.This is why the OMN works with ActivityPub, a metadata and meaning layer, not a platform, flows, not silos. ActivityPub is the widely deployed 4 Opens protocol that treats publishing as a flow, a conversation.Unlike the more vertical stacks (ATProto is a good example), ActivityPub doesnโ€™t force a worldview. It doesnโ€™t tell you, โ€œthis is how your network must be structured.โ€ It doesnโ€™t enforce hierarchy or lock you into one interpretation of identity, authority, or workflow. Itโ€™s a KISS path โ€“ hereโ€™s a shared language, verbs for publishing and receiving, express objects, updates, relationships. The rest is up to the commons.This flexibility is exactly why the OMN can become a part of this flow.Why the OMN works with ActivityPub โ€“ And why we need a bridge to p2pWe start and end with good news to make the middle bearable.The response to Russiaโ€™s War Crimes, Techno Feudalism, and other douchebaggeryDDEV has:Power Through Blackouts: How DDEV Community Helped Me in UkraineTechPolicy Press shares:How to Test New Yorkโ€™s Algorithmic Pricing LawThe EUโ€™s Digital Omnibus Must Be Rejected by Lawmakers.
