Accidentally posting to a public story on Snapchat is the worst UX ever, like I didn’t know followers even existed on snap and now I have hundreds and they seen too much 🤣 Fediverse devs like me get a lot of attention because our work is more user facing, but I still think it’s important to remind people of the crucial work that the ActivityPub authors put in. They did this at a time where there was little to no expectation for established players to join and they laid the groundwork for @Mastodon and others to shine! Y’all wouldn’t be reading this today if Mastodon stuck with just oStatus. Remember the magic of the fediverse is bcuz of them, not Mastodon! @dansup I am very new to the idea of the fediverse. Do you have any recommended reading on this history, other than just Wikipedia (I’m already reading that)? we really be do standing on the shoulders of giants the fediverse wouldn't exist without the pioneering work of @cwebber, @erincandescent and @evan let's show them some appreciation, Mastodon and Threads get a lot of credit for the ActivityPub spec they built upon and the AP authors don't get the credit they deserve ❤️

Thanks all! @dansup @cwebber @erincandescent Although @evan won't let me follow him, I don't know if he has blocked only me or all of mastodon.online :-/ y'all be so distracting ❤️ (seriously, ask any fedi dev how easy it is to get lost in replies or marketing. Start the night trying to finish a feature and end up helping someone debug an issue or walk through installation. The struggle is real, and I'm here for it most of the time, but now I need to focus on the backlog of features and bug fixes) I unfollowed a few accounts and will be distant from discord/matrix so I can focus on getting caught up on @pixelfed Please don't take it personally fam, I'll be back to my chipper self soon I got a bit distracted with sup, solo and pubkit and need to wrap up the Parental Controls grant milestone so I have the financial stability to focus on side projects like them Donations are very appreciated! I can't emphasize enough how crucial @pixelfed Autospam is to our platform and user experience We're starting to see a lot more spam accounts/posts, and thanks to our (best in class) spam detection system, we are able to prevent 99% of spam posts from ever being seen by users! The best part is it becomes even more accurate and useful the more you train it 😎 Federated Uber but for weed delivery Imagine being able to order the dankest buds or pre-rolls with ease from a local mom/pop store using an open platform that incentivizes delivery with fair driver fees. A stoner can dream...  @dansup better yet, something like an ice cream truck that just has tons of product in the vehicle and drives around town My car didn’t start earlier because of the frigid temperatures of -30 so I plugged her in and she started up with command start just now no problems! I work from home and rarely drive (it’s a 2016 Mazda with only 55k kms lol) but you never know when you need to make an emergency snack/beer/smoke run 😅

 It astonishes me that people voluntarily live in such places. And I thought the recent week of temperatures consistently below -20, when I stayed inside the entire week, was rough 🙈  A cool thing about @pixelfed Parental Controls is an idea that @trwnh came up with, being able to graduate a child account to its own account. The parent will have limited access to the account data, but retain control over feature permissions while managing the child's account and when graduated the parent will have no access or controls. I should have mentioned that the @pixelfed Parental Controls feature is meant for children that are 13 (USA) or 16 (EU) years or older. We are going to eventually add support for children younger than that, but it requires a lot more work and consideration. We want to assemble a panel of parents to help steward this feature, more details soon!

 I had a Google Home since it came out in 2017 and an Alexa for a few years and the Alexa randomly responds with the weather as if someone asked it. Could this be a ghost, and if so, maybe a ghost who prefers Alexa? (and is quiet as a ghost obvs) Ngl, I'm jealous of my youngest brother who doesn't have any wisdom teeth... like why do we even have them at all?? He is smarter than me, make it make sense... **shakes fist at evolution** |
