To follow up on my #ActivityPub C2S post from a few days ago, I wrote a blog article on my thoughts about improving the C2S protocol and a description of some related experimentation I've been doing. stevebate.net/activitypub-clie…
The ActivityPub Client-to-Server (C2S) protocol was envisioned as a cornerstone of the decentralized social web, along with the Server-to-Server (S2S) protocol.

I mostly used /e/os, so no slow charging, nor battery limit (until recently). I'm still leaning toward upgrading to the FP6 (still hesitating), this phone will either become my rom testbed, or my mother phone once hers die.

It's possible, but it's not that easy. Due to chain of evidence and each new evidence introduced is done under oath and under the penalty of perjury. So for someone to do that it really has to be department wide objective and the procecutors to be either incompetent or also complicit and then the court staff to be fooled along with the judge. Most evidence is also public in the court records, so anyone can see it and media often shares it to even wider audience.
The level of transparancy state courts offer is hands down the best thing about US "justice" system. Well mostly the only good thing, but still.

Lawmakers in Florida are raising alarm over documents suggesting immigrant children and pregnant women could be detained at 'Alligator Alcatraz.'
A draft operational plan obtained by the Miami Herald suggests minors could indeed be transported to the controversial site in the Everglades. The 35-page undated document details protocols to "separate minors from unrelated adults" and to provide "snacks and water" to minors, pregnant women and detainees with medical conditions during transport.
"The State of Florida is planning to send pregnant women and children to the 'Alligator Alcatraz' detention camp," wrote State Senator Carlos Guillermo Smith on social media. "This is totally un-American. We cannot be silent."

For over four decades, the Honda Acty has served as one of Japan’s most dependable and charming kei trucks. Small in size but big in character, the Acty adapted to the changing needs of drivers — from urban couriers to off-road farmers — without ever losing its compact, functional DNA.
Whether you’re a collector, restorer, or just curious about what makes the Acty a cult favorite, this guide explores its complete history: from the classic first generation to its modern final form.
🛠️ What Is the Honda Acty? Introduced in 1977, the Honda Acty (short for "Activity") was built to comply with Japan’s kei-class regulations — light trucks with strict limits on size and engine displacement. It offered a practical solution for businesses, farmers, and city drivers alike, quickly becoming a staple across Japan.
🚙 First Generation (1977–1988): The Original Workhorse Chassis: TN Acty Truck and Van
The first-gen Acty filled the gap left by Honda’s TN series. With its rear-mid engine layout and short overhangs, it was remarkably maneuverable — perfect for narrow alleyways and agricultural work.
⚙️ Second Generation (1988–1999): Versatility Takes Over Chassis Codes: HA1/HA2 (truck), HH1/HH2 (van)
Engine: 547cc → later upgraded to 656cc E07A
Additions:
4WD
Automatic transmission
Special trims: Attack (off-road), Crawler (6-wheel variant)
This generation was the most versatile, bringing increased engine power, drivetrain options, and even more customization. The “Attack” model, with its ultra-low gearing and diff lock, became a fan-favorite for off-road tasks.
The Acty became more refined in its third form. Fuel injection improved reliability, while creature comforts like power steering and optional air conditioning made daily driving more comfortable without compromising utility.
🚧 Fourth Generation (2009–2021): The Final Act(y) Engine: E07Z, ~44 hp
Chassis: HA8 (2WD), HA9 (4WD)
Improvements:
Safety: Dual airbags, ABS
Tighter turning radius
NVH reduction (less cabin noise)
Special Edition: 2018 “Spirit Colour Style” (inspired by Honda T360)
This final generation stayed true to Acty’s roots while improving comfort and compliance. Unfortunately, rising safety regulations and kei vehicle market shifts led to the end of production in April 2021.
📉 Why Was the Honda Acty Discontinued? Tightening emissions and safety standards, combined with changing market demands, led Honda to retire the Acty. While kei trucks remain popular, the cost of updating the Acty to new standards no longer made financial sense for Honda.
🏁 The Acty Legacy Despite ending production, the Honda Acty lives on in enthusiast communities, import markets, and off-road builds. Whether you're restoring a classic or daily-driving a late-model 4WD, each Acty represents:
Clever Japanese engineering
Modularity and simplicity
A connection to a unique automotive subculture
🧰 Final Thoughts From its humble beginnings to its quiet retirement, the Honda Acty’s complete history tells a story of evolution, utility, and timeless appeal. It’s a machine that served everyone — and now finds a second life as a collectible and conversation starter around the world.

Kansas researchers say schools obsessed with grades are creating unemployable graduates. Their new study reveals the collaboration skills employers actually want.
Tbh education was failing students long before AI. It started as soon as a degree requirement became the barrier of entry for a job. Companies don't care about what you learnt, just you have a degree and you have a high GPA. Students are just playing the game appropriately. learning was never the objective of education after a point.

L’altro giorno ho pensato, per un singolo micragnoso attimo, quanto strano sarebbe se per tutto il mese di giugno, o comunque giù di lì, il mio gaming commesso ammontasse a zero (0), o comunque giù di lì… ma è impossibile, vero? Ehh, insomma… Da un lato io non riesco a ricordare alcun momento di gaming […]
la mancanza del gaming in quella estate della strambezza
L’altro giorno ho pensato, per un singolo micragnoso attimo, quanto strano sarebbe se per tutto il mese di giugno, o comunque giù di lì, il mio gaming commesso ammontasse a zero (0), o comunque giù di lì… ma è impossibile, vero? Ehh, insomma… Da un lato io non riesco a ricordare alcun momento di gaming da questo mesetto, e ciò francamente mi torna, viste tutte le altre cose in cui mi sono invece cacciata… e, dall’altro lato, ora che sto ripensando a questo fatto mi viene in mente che io non ho (quasi) aperto letteralmente nessun gioco… nemmeno Pikmin Bloom. (Ma nemmeno altri a caso.) 😳
Con Pikmin in particolare la situazione è complicata, da una moltitudine di fattori che tutti insieme fanno salire lo zzz, e quindi passa la voglia di giocare. Innanzitutto, il gioco lo ho sempre solo sul tablet, perché richiede non solo i servizi Goolag ma anche la Slave Integrity… e se i primi posso averli sul telefono con la MIUI cinese usando quelle varie VM, la seconda no. Avendolo solo sul tablet, visto che il gioco è improntato sulla geolocalizzazione, a casa c’è poco da giocare, e fuori difficilmente ho il tablet… a maggior ragione ora che non ho lezioni all’università, e quindi che in quel campus infernale ci vado solo quando qualcuno piega il mio libretto cartaceo (…che non ho, nessuno lo ha ormai, ma dettagli) a forma di coltello e me lo punta alla gola, ricordandomi che “è troppo vuoto“… mentre in posti a caso, il tablet ovviamente non lo porto. Comunque sia, poi, ci mette sempre il suo mezzo minuto buono a partire e collegarsi al server, per poi girare assolutamente di culo; sospetto sia uno dei giochi Unity peggio ottimizzati degli ultimi anni… E infine, avendo raggiunto il limite delle piantine, perché non riesco a smaltirle in tempo (servono tanti passi, ma ops, tablet), a inizio mese ho preso l’abitudine di mandare i Pikmin a fare le missioni senza poi cliccare per ritirare gli oggetti, e in giusto un paio di giorni sono finita per avere letteralmente tutti di loro in stallo, senza poterli quindi mandare in altre missioni, se prima non ritiro la roba… ma non posso ritirare solo la frutta (perché la UX di questo gioco è terribile), quando vorrei tenere solo le piantine in bilico… È un così fottuto troiaio che non voglio nemmeno elaborare oltre! 😤 Quelle che riguardano gli schiavetti dei fiori, però, sono più in generale rogne riguardo il gaming moderno, che è sempre più sconveniente, con queste connessioni ai server, le prestazioni scarse, i limiti artificiali messi per indurre a spendere di più (e scemi loro se credono di riuscirci con me, che sono ipertirchia… no, semplicemente finisco involontariamente per non usare più il gioco, lol)… Ma, per l’appunto, questo mese è comunque crollato tutto il gaming. A parte aprire Pikmin per poi ricordare che è tutto in questo stato penoso e quindi subito richiuderlo (potrei buttare le piantine, ma non voglio), credo che avrò aperto al massimo una o due volte il Picross o il Sudoku sul telefono, e poi letteralmente basta. In altre parole, l’unico gaming che ho fatto non lo è in senso stretto, è roba tranquillamente da enigmistica cartacea… come sono caduta in alto! L’unica cosa tosta che avrei un minimo voglia di giocare è Animal Crossing (…molto tosto), ma non ho mai davvero voglia di metterci il tempo che puntualmente potrei meglio spendere a pianificare e narrare il mio marcimento, o a leggere degli altrui marcimenti da libri e tomi, come sempre più si addice a questa estate 2025… e allora ciccia. 🏜️
Quindi, che dire… il rotting di giugno e le sue distrazioni imposte mi hanno accidentalmente disintossicato dalla malattia del gaming??? Ho per caso già così facilmente perso il vergognoso titolo ignobiliare di “gamer”, perché queste altre cose hanno preso il sopravvento già più del tanto che già mi è solito? …Purtroppo, per quanto mi piacerebbe, credo proprio che no, e che, una volta che si è ormai caduti nella trappola del gioco, lo stigma lo si avrà per sempre, nonostante gli “incidenti felici” che capitano per la via della vita e portano a distaccarsi dal vizio del demonio… pazienza. Proverò a nascondere il mio passato e, se qualcuno lo scoprirà, dunque interrogandomi su questo mio attributo di “gamer”, gli dirò che è soltanto perché leggo visual novel… che tecnicamente è vero (anche se nel mese passato non me n’è capitata nessuna). “Giuro, signor giudice, non sono più una giocatrice!!!” 🤯
