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 didn’t see it was a fiction and instantly thought “who the hell thought SkyNet was a good name for an AI!?” 😁

@dansup @gabboman: Ehm:

"404 Software not found

Actually all links to any software listed on fedidb.org/software give me a "404 Not Found". 🤨

@dansup Congratulations !

Will you add @Castopod instances to fedidb ?

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.

I thought mastodon supported markdown by now lol

@dansup isn't that like render thing for clients?

SpaceLifeForm

@dansup

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*:

```
return ((round(microtime(true) * 1000) - 1711000000000) << 22) | (random_int(1,31) << 17) | (random_int(1,31) << 12) | 0;

```

* - 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.

#pixelfed #rewind #2024

dansup

Back in 2020, I made a "look back" feature inspired by Spotify Rewind for @pixelfed

It was very primitive, and I look forward to doing this again for 2024!

This will roll out early next month on the official #pixelfed app 🥳

@dansup @pixelfed Miss the stories. Are there plans for when these will be implemented again?

Continually impressed by the fast growing Loops.video community!

The next app build will be huge 🚀

You do an incredible job. If I had one wish, it would be for more consistent scrolling between videos. If you scroll very quickly, no animation is displayed. It looks a little bumpy. Maybe it would be good to integrate a constant animation speed.
Thank you very much. :tony_wee:

The loops.video For You algorithm is getting pretty powerful 😎

It will only improve with more videos and user interactions 🚀

I'm still tweaking it a bit, and may A/B test it on some of you this weekend.

I just tried out #loops ... And it's working surprisingly well and stable for me.

I thinking about making #gamedev mini vlogs and tutorials for this format. I hope federation starts soon so that the whole #fediverse can access the content there.

What are your thoughts about this?

Григорий Клюшников

1. What are those black bars at the top and bottom?
2. The overlay UI elements need some "background protection". Shadows or gradients or something. TikTok seems to do both.

@dansup It’s a long one, but my daughter and I slapping the shit out of each other with tortillas will never not make me laugh. loops.video/v/4tdqMPwx00

Congrats on the milestone.
Looking forward to the next one, critical mass, once it reaches 80085 though.

@dansup I’ve enjoyed scrolling for a bit 💕 but I’ve only managed to post one video, after that every time I try it fails with an “unexpected error”. :/ reported it through the TestFlight feedback. Any idea why it may be happening?

Of note I also haven’t managed to upload a profile picture (no errors, it just never appears).

@dansup Ooh they've released an APK, I can finally try it out!
