Ghost is an excellent platform for publishing. I used it a lot a few years back for publishing articles when it was headless - that was optimum. Compose at your leisure within your own local environment, then push it up to your own self-hosted instance.

Unfortunately, they let it fall into disrepair, left it unmaintained, and last I checked the Ghost desktop was nowhere to be found in the repo. One of the maintainers explained to me that they just didn't have anyone willing to maintain the app and so I migrated away from the platform myself.

Integrating #ActivityPub is a fantastic idea, and will give #WriteAs a run for the money, but the reasons for leaving #Drupal and #WordPress to publish on #Ghost aren't so compelling with editors like #Gutenberg exist now, along with the #WordPress_ActivityPub plugin.

I'm going to give it another looksee to review what happened to the elegant, #headless nature that Ghost used to espouse as one of it's key ingredients for using it in the first place. I just hope that they don't try to go the way of #OOo, #Bacula, and other #FOSS projects that were forked, and somewhat marginalized, as a result of decisions to force community versions into #Freemium products that lacked most functionality without fee based subscriptions. Lord knows, the last time I checked their managed hosting solutions for Ghost it certainly wasn't even competitively priced.

With this newfound revelation in the form of some kind of epiphany, let's hope their commitment to #Fediverse and FOSS exceeds that of their grasp for excessive monetization.

Todon.euJay Baker (@MediaActivist@todon.eu)Ghost is considering joining the Fediverse! That's right. The nonprofit company is contemplating federating Ghost over ActivityPub. Here's Ghost's survey asking users about their usage of ActivityPub platforms like Mastodon and how they expect ActivityPub functionality to work in Ghost (many of my followers here will have better insight into this than myself, so please do submit your feedback; it's a very short form and the impact could be great!): https://tally.so/r/m67X4P #Ghost #ActivityPub #Fediverse

Hi everyone!

Was chatting with a few students and enthusiasts about the how part of why CPUs are so fast. It covers SIMD, multiple ALUs and Out of Order Execution.

Converted it into a Git Gist and added some more practical examples that should be approachable to anyone who's written a `for` or `while` loop at some point.

Please find it here: gist.github.com/FCLC/8322c7e0f

Hello everyone! A lot people coming into the fediverse as of late, and I thought it'd be cool to (re)introduce myself.

The name situation is complicated, since I go by different names on different platforms but here's some stuff about me:

- Non-binary grey ace (they/them)
- Based in Southeast Asia
- In their early 30s
- Grew up in and around the DIY/hardcore punk scene

And some interests:

- 20th century continental theory (though not without its problems)
- Anarchist and left-libertarian ethics (skewing LWMA/mutualist)
- Music-based subculture
- 90s/early aughts cyberculture

Feel free to bug me about any of those things. The fediverse has been incredibly positive so far, and it'd be great to connect!
