These are the people building the Fediverse!
so the search page bug was me having put something dumb in my custom css, but in my defense, i maintain that it persisted at least once even after i disabled my custom css
@november@bark.wolp.chat
cache for per user theme has been reworked recently and previously had some caching issues so it might had been that too
also hi if you're from bsky and i just followed you, i moved from @november.at.app.wafrn.net. wafrn didn't let me port my posts over like an at proto migration would 😞
@november@bark.wolp.chat
because fedi posts are fedi posts. its complex. in THEORY if anyone replies to an old post at some point you should get a mention if i recall correctly
The secret to building fediverse platforms people love? Listen.
Listen to your community. Prioritize their feedback. Keep shipping privacy and safety improvements.
I have a vision for Pixelfed and Loops, but the community leads the way.
Admins thrive when they can customize, curate and control their communities. My job is to make that easier for admins, users, and 3rd party developers too!
@ashmeshedup @pixelfed still not working but found out that the detail page is still a preview and the full image is only shown when I tab the image on the detail page again. Why? Feels like it's one (unnecessary) step too much.
@sturmsucht @ashmeshedup Yeah this is a bug unfortunately, we will fix this in the next release!
@anildash kicking us off at @fediforum saying all of my favorite words #FediForum
Senator Bernie Sanders, Representative Ocasio-Cortez, and Senator Jeff Merkley introduced the Ban Flock Act on Friday, which would stop federal agencies from using automatic license plate readers.

El 90% de los que veo quejándose de AtProto desde Mastodon ni siquiera están al día con cuáles Appviews/Relays son independientes o no en 2026, da verguenza no lo niego
I forgot that https://octodon.social shutdown. @cwebber moved from there to social.coop in 2024. which means that all the amazing threads about the history of the fediverse / what is activitypub etc from 2017 to 2024 lead by or substantially containing Christine are now either gone or broken or only exist in weird archival forms on centralized web archives. I know that everything is temporary but this fact makes me sad.

He visto más de una queja de desarrolladores ActivityPub que el protocolo es demasiado dependiente de MastoAPI y los intereses de Mastodon. Obviamente no anula los problemas AtProto/Bluesky pero no es noche y día tampoco
@sundaymidnight@mastodon.social @gabboman@gabboman.xyz @fruitchypear@owo.cafe
Y esto es principalmente por la manera en que está documentado ActivityPub, que mucha gente prefiere leer y experimentar con Mastodon y sus APIs antes que meterse en las tripas del JSON-LD y sus contextos
@sundaymidnight En origen Bluesky era una prueba de concepto para el protocolo, sí. Y el acceso en Bsky hasta hace un par de años estaba limitado a una lista de espera porque estaba en beta. Pero las partes importantes, hasta donde sé, ya están abiertas.
Creo que les devs de Wafrn pueden hablar más de ello.

El protocolo no deja de ser creado con fines comerciales. Pero la propia empresa que lo creó ha mostrado querer limitar su influencia sobre el propio protocolo. Asumo que el estar Bsky financiado con capital de riesgo es uno de los motivos, dado que más pronto que tarde lo van a tener que mierdificar.
@sundaymidnight@mastodon.social @gabboman@gabboman.xyz @fruitchypear@owo.cafe
Por mucho que ATProto tenga potencial de mierdificacion mientras nadie haga nada raro a nivel legal por encima, sigue siendo un protocolo, y como tal sigue pudiendo usarse más allá de los recursos de las empresas como Bluesky.
Hay 10 años de diferencia entre el origen de ActivityPub y el origen de ATProto, y eso se nota mucho en todo. Tanto en la forma de documentar como en la forma de construir herramientas alrededor.
Y en ambos protocolos hay partes muy interesantes que los desarrolladores del FOSS podemos usar para nuestros proyectos.
ActivityPub está más completo, ATProto (la parte que hay hasta ahora) está mejor documentado.
So, the PQ won a minority government. The leader has promised another referendum, but only after Trump's second term ends in 2029. Minority governments are unstable by design; it seems optimistic to hope this one will not only persist for 2-3 years but also manage to implement a policy that the majority of Quebecois say they don't want. I'd say No, but... it will be an issue.
#fediforum is starting in a few minutes. I realised I hadn't registered yet and I just bought my ticket. If you want to talk to smart people about the #OpenSocialWeb please join us! It's not too late.
A discussion on Bluesky brought me down memory lane, got me to look at my first site’s design…
Yes, my site logo was a drawing of a cool rabbit with a trenchcoat, a briefcase, and a KISS makeup. Why not?
Google Assistant has been getting worse and worse over the past few years. It’s got to a point where it fails to understand basic commands. I’m not sure how that happened. For that reason alone I was looking forward to the promised upgrade to Gemini for Home. I figured AI wouldn’t be worse than the dumpster fire Google Home is today.
I was wrong.
I finally got access today, configured it, and asked it a few questions. It was noticeably slower to respond, which I can understand. That would be okay if its answers were good.

@BrideOfLinux cool!
A lot of overlap of thinking between @blackskyweb.xyz@bsky.brid.gy's Acorn and what @Bonfire@bonfire.cafe is doing with communities 👀
