The #Philistines and the #Israelites were gathered for battle.

The champion of the Philistines, Goliath of #Gath, was impressively tall and impressively armored.

He challenged Israel to send out a champion to fight against him.

The Israelites were greatly afraid.

Unlocking History: Earth’s Magnetic Field Reveals Old Testament Events

New technology interprets archaeological findings from Biblical times. The new study scientifically corroborates an event described in the Second Book of Kings – the conquest of the Philistine city of Gath by Hazael King of Aram. The method is based on measuring the magnetic field recorded i

anyone managed to get #gath.io fediverse integration to actually work?

i cant actually follow events, as it gets stuck on requesting a follow, that supposedly needs to be approved. this happens regardless of the option settings ('Users can mark themselves as attending this event'), ive tried it with both this option selected and deselected

was a really cool demo on
#fediforum that i wanted to showcase, but sucks it i cant get it to work right now

Also fun fact for those who've not seen it before: #gath is a fedi-friendly event planner. Follow @7EX44A_7QrQv9Z4NxNzOg to RSVP for this particular event, and receive event updates (if any) in your timeline 😉

If MeetUp does become a co-op, maybe it could join the conversation about federating events over ActivityPub with Mobilizon, GetTogether, Gancio, Gath etc.

Federated Events

This was drafted months ago. After this message, we’re up to date. @360fun would you update the first post with the current situation with existing free software projects doing AP events? I’d rather see cooperation than competitive projects. It’s easier to work together in this context. @tcit would you like to share the Mobilizon vision in the context of existing AP eventing projects? How will you interoperate or join forces? (Note: this discussion is happening in #software:mobilizon and http...

There is #Gath.io and #Gancio which are working on #activitypub federated events. Nextcloud has events now. And https://foss.events are the ones I can think of off hand

// foss.events

// foss.events: Connecting people via the most comprehensive collection of FOSS events in Europe and online. Unity in diversity!

Of the three platforms I've tried so far; #Mobilizon, #Gancio, and #Gath.io, only Gath seems to be aware of timezones. Unless the other two are inferring a timezone from my browser or OS defaults? But if I happened to be adding an event in #Aotearoa that I learned about while I was in China, that would be a faulty inference.

Tried to create an event at the #Gath instance at:
http://events.friend.camp/

It told me that to create an event there I need an account on friend.camp. When I clicked the login button, it took me to a friend.camp login page, where the 'sign up' link redirected me to:
