I am back from the grocery store

I went to buy tangerines and milk. However, the greengrocer gave me an offer I couldn't refuse on cheap bananas which were about to go bad, so I also bought 2 kilograms of bananas for basically nothing. I was thinking I should make banana bread; however, as I was about to blend the bananas, I noticed that would be too much banana bread, so I made banana and dulce de leche ice cream instead

Similar, except those are caused by users visiting a link, whereas the Fediverse issue is federated servers gathering info before users even see a link.

Google says it is rolling out Personal Intelligence for Gemini on Android Auto now and to cars with Google built-in in the coming months as an opt-in feature (Abner Li/9to5Google)

@fesshole this is the way

@NanoRaptor ten metal mugs, tumblers, and thermoses of various sizes and features. twelve teapots. you never know if you feel like 2L of french press coffee or pu-erh from a dainty purple clay pot.

i mean, aside from consumables like fasteners, medication, hardware, dry shitake, and tinned fish 😸​

@davidgerard @zimzat @liquor_american @mayintoronto The Mastodon team does not use AI.

I shared a link from NPR Tiny Desk but there was no image preview or video embed. After investigating this I learned that when you do that, each instance picks up the link and individually retrieves the link preview nearly simultaneously. For gargantuan sites like YT or Reddit, this is a trivial amount of traffic and not a problem, but for smaller sites like NPR this results in a sort of botnet DDOS attack on the site’s servers. More here. Another example here . For that reason, NPR has blocked Fediverse servers like Mastodon.

I have experienced this on my personal server as well (DDOS), but at the time didn’t know why, exactly.

This isn’t the end of the world, but certainly is not great and hurts engagement with the content. Is there a solution for this? Perhaps using some sort of webtorrent service like PeerTube where they just fetch the information from another fediverse server instead of the source server? Maybe fetching embeds client-side? At least that would stagger the requests.

@skavish @dansup I think it should be to the profile page. It should be possible to get the actor id from the profile page using discovery.
