I literally can't stop listening to this song, Fred Again is literally the Taylor Swift of electronic/dance music Fred again.. - Delilah (pull me out of this) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cl6Rz1Uvi2M #np #fediplay #fredAgain This song uses a sample which is very Burial-esque, I love it. I really want to get back into music production, it's almost as if @pixelfed is a stepping stone to my dream of headlining Shambahla, Ultra or the like. If I can make a mobile app, relearning fruity loops or NI massive shouldn't be too difficult right? Oof, was hoping to ship Lockdown mode in @pixelfed tonight, but I spent too long working on #fediDB to fix Lemmy spam stats before monthly data is calculated 😅 It’s okay though, lockdown mode will be really easy to implement, I’m about 60% done it and it’s basically a middleware that checks if enabled, then determines the mode aka which redis set to check and finally verifies the http sig using existing code! I wish I could clone myself or work full time on fediverse projects 😅 My partner was just at a convenience store and when getting into the vehicle he saw a kid in a pink ski mask run out with a handful of candy bags and rode off into the night on his bike 🤣🤣🤣 These candy prices are getting out of hand, will someone please think of the children??? Leading them to a life of crime when back in the day they were only 5 cents  New instance by software observed by pixelfed.social in past 7 days. GotoSocial is sure growing, same with Lemmy and Calckey! 🚀 @dansup also really visible in @fediverseobserver stats 😃 @dansup I love GoToSocial, but it's still rather early stage. I'm guessing this is just down to the fact that it's extremely easy to setup? Active users is probably more like 95% Mastodon. I get a lot of notifications, it doesn’t bother me to be in hell threads, but I wonder if there’s a way to give users the power to remove themselves if they choose. We’ll I know there’s a way, rewriting mentions locally only half solves the problem @dansup Although I haven't been on FB for a long time, I do like the overflow options for notifications including something to the effect of "unsubscribe from this post/thread/whatever". How to like a Pixelfed post from CLI in two easy steps: 1) Go to Settings -> Applications and click Create New Token, save the output 2) Go to https://beta-preview.pixelfed.io/resources/statuses#like-a-status-by-id and copy the curl request command, replace {token} with the output from step 1 Voilà! ✨  @dansup OMG a corporate social media app would never make such an interface feature, let alone make it so easy to use pixelfed.social registration is closed until further notice you can find another server to join on https://pixelfed.org/servers  @dansup is it currently possible to migrate (including all posts, likes, comments etc...) from a Pixelfed server to another? Trying to use existing RN read more libraries with autolink/html with an inline prefixed <Text> node (username) and inline "show more" on the same clipped line was not fun. I spent way too many hours trying to figure out how I could keep the "show more" on the last line, it would require a way more complex tokenizer which I don't have time for now. So, y'all will have to deal with the "show more" on a separate line for now, sorry 😅  @dansup Did this recently and just abs positioned it over that last line but with a background to cover text under it and a gradient to smoothly cover the text next to it. Displaying @pixelfed post captions in our app must be easy, right? Not really! I recently refactored this, and it's becoming quite complex. Each caption is rendered using a pipeline of the following steps: Normalize > Tokenize > Autolink > EntityRenderer > Accessibility > Read more > Style When you tap on a mention, we check to see if it's remote (even if it's just the @ username), and use clever logic to load the profile even if the server doesn't know it yet. Much better now, shippin soon @pixelfed When you tap on a link, we check your preferences and open the link in your preferred browser (styled in dark or light mode). We're adding a new accessibility setting to disable motion, so avatars, custom emojis and gifs will display a static, non moving image. When you tap on a custom emoji, you'll be able to view a full screen version! This is new and will be shippin soon! Spent the past few hours working on the @pixelfed mobile app, and backend. - Added command to recalculate status counts (shipped) - Added command to refetch remote media mime types to fix an edge case in edited post media on our mobile app (shipped) - Rewrote mobile app autolinker to better support Read more, non-latin hashtags and links (awaiting release) - Fixed layout shift in mobile app feeds (awaiting release) - Mobile app settings sync across devices (awaiting release) 😉 Might add a 30 day delay to process account deletes in case the person changes their mind. You would be surprised by how many people reach out and want to un-delete their account, despite the huge warnings. This would still hide their account, but not actually delete it for 30 days, and allow them to login and cancel the scheduled deletion. Thoughts?

This makes sense. Also the confirmation should make you enter the username of your account so that you are sure you're deleting the right account.  @dansup if you're doing this, maybe don't call it just "Delete" - call it "Suspend then Delete" so there's never confusion. Might also make it multi stage - states of 'suspended pending delete', 'lazy delete' during which content can be actually removed in the backend as convenient, 'deleted' with all identifiable data removed but possibly internal IDs remain as placeholders for consistency checks if needed. PAE - Pixelfed ActivityPub Extensions Looking forward to publishing these over the next few weeks! These pre-date FEPs, and I don't need the bureaucracy of FEPs to hinder these extensions that we've been using in production for years. PAE-07 is Groups 😉 Super pumped for #projectBeagle It will usher in a whole new era of discovery and recommendations in @pixelfed Pushing boundaries, my dawg 👀    I know I’ve mentioned it a lot, but it still blows my mind how well the spam detection service works in @pixelfed When your platform is based on photo sharing, it’s much easier to notice spam in timelines, and also harder to detect spam. I look forward to sharing some groundbreaking ways we are working on improving this in the coming days! Who would’ve thought the php project that took forever to federate would later become a pioneer in so many ways 😉 #activityPub It may seem like I'm working on a lot of projects, and I don't like the "half-baked" connotations, but you have to consider that most of them are at least a year old and have been slowly developed. I'm not some rockstar developer, I've been building this ecosystem for years and many of these endeavors just happen to be maturing around the same time.  This external evidence shows that there's a good process and that the multiple focuses inform even if they aren't part of a particular project. It all shows up somewhere. |
@pixelfed Well my other dream is being an astronaut, but I'm pretty sure you need to finish high school for that so I'm good with settling on a career in music or webdev.
I can do both too, I don't want y'all to think I'm dropping Pixelfed to move to Atlanta and hope Metroboomin will teach me or whatever lol
@dansup @pixelfed book recommendation for you “How to write one song” by Jeff Tweedy. It’s really great one of the best books I’ve read in years for inspiration in creative endeavors
@dansup so do you have a funkwhale?
