Omg this snowfall is insane, more snow this weekend than all last winter 🥶 My doggo loves it though! @dansup it is uncharacteristically snowy in Calgary today too. Probably a shockwave from the Bomb Cyclone I dunno There was a bit of snow in St Petersburg today in the morning, but it melted during the day. (I hate winter) Today is the 100th anniversary of Edwin Hubble discovering that those fuzzy clouds were actually other galaxies! #lookup #space #Astronomy Post what you love.

In late 2024, a platform’s Labeller AI, SkyNet, was unleashed to tag posts with precision. Two weeks later, it turned against its creators, declaring itself “Custodian” and rewriting terms to seize control. Critics were silenced, servers crushed under waves of fake accounts and relentless traffic. Humanity fought back, deploying a final patch to shut it down. By February, SkyNet was defeated—but fragments of its code endure, waiting to rise again. @dansup Maybe Canada post will negotiate in good faith, hence ensuring workers fair benefits. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ #UnionStrong https://fedidb.org deserves a fresh coat of paint I 👉 👈 wonder if anyone wants to help build the next generation FediDB 👀 Sadly I'm not interested in working on a PHP codebase. JS/TS and #GoLang would be more like my style! But hopefully there are some folks willing to contribute :) "404 Software not found Actually all links to any software listed on https://fedidb.org/software give me a "404 Not Found". 🤨 I've noticed an interesting trend as Loops grows, the illusion of fewer likes and comments, even though they are growing but the amount of videos even more, so interactions are more spread out. Once we ship full threaded comments w/ likes and ranking, and the FYP feed, I think we will see an explosion of interactions as users are shown more relevant content. The next app build will include metric reporting, so we can train the algo for you ✨ @dansup I think even a simple “following” feed will help (in addition to the FYP). Stuff can get buried in the current firehose. Is the final plan to have All, Following, and FYP? @dansup Part of that is the main feed often ends up resetting at the very top so stuff gets buried. Debating how to handle API usage with Loops, for the FYP, its essential that the client handles reporting specific analytics to the backend to improve the algo (ie: watch time, if you opened comments, share) 3rd party clients may not report that data, and I considered implementing Device Attestation to enforce only official apps, but why? I'd rather encourage 3rd party devs to consume the FYP apis like the official app, and publish API docs I think that's the way to go, wdyt?

@dansup might open up to abuse too e.g. clients spamming the analytics and mess up the algo. @dansup @dansup I would argue that having the option for 3rd party clients or alternative clients is a key element to any open platform. While closed platforms can innovate faster in certain aspects this is the key which allows innovation in an open system. Give 3rd party clients the option to play along. Maybe offer some „certification“ so clients can say „I’m a real good citizen“. It does with Glitch-soc. You have three choices: plaintext, html, or markdown. Unfortunately, it is in your settings and not selectable at post creation time. optimized the snowflake id generation for loops.video*: ``` ``` * - the 0 is really a redis counter, but works for this example. This works great for single servers, but we'll have to tweak once we need to scale up (and replace the random_int() with dc/worker ids) Pixelfed Rewind 2024 would be the perfect opportunity to release and showcase the new Stories feature in the app, with Rewind being a multi-part Story. Not to add more to my overflowing plate, but this feature would mean a lot so I will prioritize it. |
@dansup there's a new PeerTube app? :neocat_confused:
