Gregory's Server
|
Did you know that Dansup who made PixelFed is working on a federated TikTok clone called Loops and it looks extremely good https://mastodon.social/@dansup/112331179499992996 Dansup has been posting a lot about the WIP and the design choices are very user-centric in a way that the Fediverse sometimes is not  Did you know that Miguel who founded the mono project is now working on porting the Godot editor to iPad https://mastodon.social/@Migueldeicaza/112328005668118023 https://mastodon.social/@Migueldeicaza/112407809868401322 Note this is the *editor*… the games already run on iPad, this is *creating* games on iPad

  @dansup Why? On Mastodon, I cannot see the full conversation, only the posts my server knows about. On a federated SO, would I see only the answers my server knows about? How can I know I'm looking at the best then? What's the point of decentralizing questions, which have just one "most correct" answer?  @dansup The problem with doing that to avoid ChatGPT *et al* is that all they have to do is build their own server and federate. They can then scrape every answer. However, it would be nice to have a non-corporate system. Painful to rebuild Stack Overflow's database. Experimenting with server badges instead of webfinger urls (ex: pixelfed@mastodon.social) Wdyt?

  @dansup The badge is a little much, but it’s close, the idea of separation is there. It views as an after thought. I would use a more standard @@ and maybe scale it back to 90-75% grey. I’d do a quick mockup, but I’m in a meeting (booooo). Experimenting with server badges instead of webfinger urls (ex: pixelfed@mastodon.social) Wdyt?

We just shipped a minor change that limits new accounts ability to send DMs until the account is older than 72 hours This is in response to reports of DM spam originating from pixelfed.social https://github.com/pixelfed/pixelfed/commit/ab383ba55bc898682c28998d91a244db207a0b4d Radically Open Security, the nonprofit computer security company donates 90% of its profits to NLnet. Today @ros turned 10 years old *and* crossed the magical number of 1 million euro in donations to NLnet. Happy birthday ROS! And thanks a million :-). We interviewed ROS co-founder and CEO Melanie Rieback to learn why she decided to give the company such an unusual business model. I joined the @cloudron Forum so I can more efficiently resolve bug reports and issues. Thanks to @Yehuda for bringing the config cache bug to my attention, I've since responded in that thread and shipped the fix and tagged a new version (v0.12.1) I apologize for the inconvenience, and look forward to helping attain perfect Cloudron/docker support going forward 💪 @cloudron @Yehuda Made my first thread Hello from Pixelfed HQ! https://forum.cloudron.io/topic/11698/hello-from-pixelfed-hq Super proud of the @pixelfed Curated Onboarding feature Want to curate new users rather than have open registrations? Not only do we support that, but we built a clever system to request more information from the applicant We send them a link that takes them to a form where they can respond, and admins can get notified via email whenever there is a new applicant or response But wait, there is more, admins can define reusable email request templates for easy management  @dansup @pixelfed Hi! And what about #pixelfedandroidapp ? Pixelfed evolving prety fast! It would be great if official :android: app will update same speed. 👍 And thank you again for your work 💪 Hello guys, the Vidzy project is going very well. Just to remind you, pull requests are ALWAYS welcomed!  The network feed code in the new Pixelfed app is only 56* lines of code Really happy with the refactor, it's much cleaner code, not to mention the app is much faster 🚀   @dansup In my mind whatever drake does in this beef going forward he lost the moment he used A.I in a beef it just comes across as weak imo I’ve never been a drake fan but I’ve kept an open mind in this beef but A.I just doesn’t do it for me plus if there is one time to not use ghost writers this is it Working on the @pixelfed app refactor and omg it’s so much faster and responsive on both Android and iOS It even supports offline mode, and many more optimizations! I can’t wait to ship this, it hurts to see such negative feedback wrt the current app (though I agree it sucks on Android) and I can’t wait to blow your minds with this new version 😎 PS: the new app is open source, follow along at https://github.com/pixelfed/pixelfed-rn  |
