I wear a lot of hats, and have to balance:

and several related projects, initiatives and outreach to other projects.

Don't get me wrong, I love this, but this is why it can seem like @pixelfed dev is slow.

I'm trying my hardest to prepare the apps for public release this month 🤞

@dansup You're doing wildly incredible work! Thank you!

Elon’s new Twitter CEO, whose identity has not been revealed but who Elon says will be female, should be someone who has shown more ability than he has navigating a high-stakes, controversy-prone leadership role. The choice is obvious.

I'm going to hit Mastodon with some cold truth.

The world needs a replacement for Twitter. Full stop.

Mastodon needs to be the next step in that evolution, we need to be Twitter plus.

We need feature parity with Twitter . That includes QTs.

We need easier onboarding, discovery and search.

We need to know which instances will provide safe spaces for marginalized groups.

It's not a matter of what we want, it's a matter of what's needed right now at this point in history.

@mike Mastodon is adding more local search capabilities. The best cross-instance solution for search is to allow search engines to index public posts, but most instances explicitly block search engines from doing this. That's up to each server's robots.txt, not Mastodon. A Google prefix like fediverse:search term or a DuckDuckGo bang like search term !fedi would be possible if they could index more posts. Federated search infra is conceptually possible, but would be prohibitively expensive.

@mike All of these things are on the public roadmap. You can watch the progress on Github. https://joinmastodon.org/roadmap

Big life update: I've resigned from Google to take on an exciting new role. I'll share more details soon, but first, a nice long break between jobs 😴 …

    I dislike polls, so I'm just going to ask:

    • Do you use the 'prev' and 'next' link at the bottom of blog posts?

    I don't, hence why I removed them from my site. Interested in knowing how other people navigate blogs.

    Jeremiah,
    @Jeremiah@alpaca.gold avatar

    @m2m @jefklak Tags are the useful metadata for identifying related articles. I probably won't clicked on a tag, but I might click on the title of a related blog post.

    Jeremiah,
    @Jeremiah@alpaca.gold avatar

    @m2m I do not use next/previous. Related posts are often helpful tho.

    I just heard the term "SAFe" (something about agile methodology) and I'm not sure if I should be scared.

    @lukem The Scaled Agile Framework can be good (worked great when I was at Fitbit), but often is not (literally every other experience people have shared with me).

    Trying to get a server setup on Google Cloud Platform is incredibly frustrating, y'all.

    This needs to be a terraform apply and open a browser sort of thing.

    @evan At this point, 100% GCP's fault. People have told me Mastodon supports IPv6, but I never got to the point of having a VM with it to test.

    GCP only announced IPv6 support in December, but it's still not ready even for the simplest of use cases apparently.

    Jeremiah,
    @Jeremiah@alpaca.gold avatar

    Update: I am giving up on getting an Mastodon instance setup on for now. There is no happy path, only broken documentation examples or load balancer termination (which doesn't work because of outbound requests).

    I’m amazed at how far computer graphics have progressed in my lifetime. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I7zyNDazmGQ with Unreal Engine 5.2 is a great example of that. A far cry from 8-bit graphics of my early childhood.

    If you care about your website’s CO₂ emissions, but still eat meat, you have been greenwashed.

    Datacenters already are one of the greenest industries (electricity-wise) and rapidly improving. AWS and Azure will be carbon neutral by 2025. GCP has been neutral for 6 years and will be carbon-free by 2030.

    @geewee Insightful data exploration!

    Jeremiah,
    @Jeremiah@alpaca.gold avatar

    @geewee My point is that you will reduce your emissions more from eating one less hamburger than saving a few kilobytes on a webpage. There are many great reasons to reduce webpage size but it’s just not a meaningful carbon reduction even if everyone did it.

    Jeremiah,
    @Jeremiah@alpaca.gold avatar

    @geewee From my experience working on cloud infrastructure at companies that spent hundreds of millions of dollars annually with AWS/GCP, the big waste is in "cold" data storage and offline data processing. I suspect most companies could reduce their datacenter-related carbon emissions more by deleting data they don't need, reducing data storage resiliency, and optimizing data processing jobs than by reducing their JS payloads. Even then, flying less and vegan cafeterias will be more impactful.

    Stockholm ranked 25, dinged notably for cost. The rubric for ranking is debatable. Being able to bring your bike on a bus or train should have been included. Stockholm (mostly) won’t let you. I miss this about SF.

    Google showed impressive things at .

    But I will never join the Google ecosystem because all the data one puts into Google’s cloud is accessible by Google, by anyone who hacks Google, and by any government that forces Google to hand over data.

    Contrast this to Apple’s iCloud, which is end-to-end encrypted. This means Apple cannot see the data you store with it¹ and therefore hackers/governments also cannot do anything with it if accessed.
