@maegul Yes interesting it is roughly even. It’s also a super small sample size and this feels like not the best way to ask this question haha. But I’m no social scientist.
I might ask a similar question or look for a similar poll to vote on. I definitely don’t want the fediverse culture to be one of blocking all corporate communities by default but it is interesting there’s at least a few hundred people who seem to feel differently.
I see the appeal of how AT-Bluesky uses domains as handles. Here’s a nifty browser extension that lights up when you visit a domain with a corresponding Bluesky handle. It’s made by @adhdjesse
Chrome https://skylinkchrome.com
Firefox https://skylinkff.com
@mmu_man@profcarroll@adhdjesse As I understand it, this is how verification works. So yeah it would cool if this extension worked for Mastodon as well.
Despite having worked with the Misskey codebase for almost a year and a half at this point, there's still so much I don't know about it. It's a massive project filled with years of legacy code... it's a weird feeling. Excited to scrap the old backend and start fresh.
@kainoa@maegul@gustafsson Rust seems to be the move these days when performance matters and it’s not a data science application. Def not as easy for me to read and write as TS or Python or Julia but the speed and low level control I’m sure are extremely desirable. I touched it for a graphics application once and it seemed more feature rich for performance than JVM based or Go. So not very surprised by this decision.
@kainoa Thanks for all the work you do. This is one of the most amazing pieces of software I use on a daily basis. Can’t wait to see where it continues to go :)
Going over my opening talk to the company about the failed promise of the Internet to democratize information.
"The internet made a wrong turn. It started with ads.... this is one of the things that Ev really got write with our subscription... you just can't do anything positive in the world with an ad model."
That's basically my world view. In a capitalist society, the best things are going to be build around a direct payment model. And yes, I've heard of Open Source. It only goes so far.
@coachtony Direct payment or speculative investment… Money is and will continue to be king.
Which is too bad. Because it can also be blinding and disconnecting from the reality of the impact of the product. But it is so obvious to me too how overwhelmingly influential money is. Slowly and over long periods of time free and open methods can win but in our current global capitalist society money will make software faster and that is what makes one software better than another. Speed of development.
Didn't get quite as far as I wanted with a #Calckey#AiScript plugin tonight, but I'm close! This plugin will intake a phrase, then set a background and sparkle effect on the phrase in posts where it is found.
I had been reading quite a lot the past few weeks about how incredible the BlueSky app was and how they were able to deliver such high quality with React (Native)
Honestly, all I see is jank on top of jank on top of jank. Multiple refreshes required all the time, state being lost etc., to the point that in less than a day I've been trained to not trust what is on the screen in front of me and do a full refresh
I’m over on mastodon social right now. It has been a great introduction to the fediverse but I am now looking to try out calckey and find a more sustainable server to join.
Ich fühle mich ja recht wohl auf Mastodon, aber es fühlt sich hier für mich auch in etwa so an wie in der Küche einer WG, in der ich nicht wohne. Alle leise und vorsichtig ausgesprochenen Verbesserungsvorschläge (threaded Replys, quoted Toots) wurden bisher mit "das haben wir hier besprochen und beschlossen, dass wir das nicht wollen" oder "das haben wir besprochen, und das wäre uns zu sehr wie Twitter" beantwortet. Mein Problem: Ich liebe Twitter, nur eben nicht den Hass-Mob dort. 🤷🏼♀️ Falsche WG?
i'd like to compile some resources on things like mental health community peer support and emotional first aid, and so i'm asking for recommendations.
we are all quite aware that healthcare in the US is a travesty, but even for people who do have access to quality therapists and the like, it just doesn't sit right with me that "maybe you should talk to a therapist about that" is so commonly the only substantial support given to others.
emotional work is still work, and disabled communities often don't have the spoons to help each other effectively... but as an autist who does much better in situations when i know what's expected or needed of me, i'm inclined to believe that it would genuinely be very healing and empowering to learn how to help each other, get our hands on more resources, and have alternative options to offer in tandem with "seek professional help."
this can absolutely include how to protect and care for oneself when a friend or loved one is in crisis, and how to set boundaries and step away from a situation when someone's in need but you just aren't able to help.
so... i'm doing research! does anyone have any articles, books, organizations, anything? this is primarily for mental health, though i believe in the same principles for physical health and also advocate for learning physical first aid as spoons and resources allow!
if there are huge glaring issues with this approach, i'm also interested in hearing why and getting resources that address those.
Just came back from the weirdest bug that completely locked me out of Calckey for a bit, I don't even know how to file a codeberg report on it really. Error code: SOMETHING_HAPPENED_IN_PROMISE
Gonna try my best to file one, but I don't know enough about what happened to know if it will be helpful
@BluTest I think I've seen someone else ask for this feature too. I wonder if its already an option and if not we should make an issue on the codeberg repo! Sounds like a good idea 😄
This will match the word "gun" only when it appears as a whole word, with the \b indicating a word boundary.
The forward slashes at the beginning and end of the expression indicate that it's a regular expression.
Definitely not intuitive. Definitely could be enhanced.
My tentative reaction is that this not so much a "huge problem" as something that should be improved? I definitely agree with you just want to make sure I understand what you want and how it would be addressed in current implementation.
@schizanon oh it's easy to miss. There is feature overload here.
But better usability will come for sure.
This new Press before playing MFM feature and defaulting to not auto playing them I could see having been a big problem. But they made that more accessible so quickly. Incredible responsiveness.
Oh cool … The galleries section is going off … people are using the feature and there’s some cool shit in there.
Sighs, almost makes me sad. Give people spaces and they will fill them and personalise them and share things. We’ve gotten so used to being constrained in what being online means that something as basic as combining microblogging and picture collections is new and exciting. I mean it is. But it’s 2023 damn it. What was going on 2005 to now??!!
Individuals vying for riches by centralizing and profiting off of us. 😭
Companies as first class internet citizens. Force feeding us digital snake oil and making many of us forget or never learn the importance of decentralization. Capitalism beat back and plateaued the free association of the early web.
@mammoth IANAL But this is a situation for copyleft. So I vote GPL.
For many open source projects I want to see them be MIT or Apache so I can use it with my project but this is not such a codebase...
This is a great user facing app like Signal that some profiteer could clone and sell without attribution or open sourcing their contributions. Why let anyone maliciously monetize what could be a public good?
