@eleventy needs your support. This is a project I've had a lot of fun with on a personal level, and also started using it for a small documentation project at work now, very successfully.

Installed the docker of IceShrimp.NET, which isn't even in beta yet. I have a few installs under my belt now (Mastodon, Bonfire, GoToSocial, etc.) so I know the basic drill, but this was still a pretty easy install.

In the branch I used, there's no front end yet. Phanpy, Elk and Enafore handled at least the basic posting requests so the API is solid.

So cool to see dotnet code in the fediverse! Follow me @box464 :)

@box464 @box464 Love to see .NET, but curious about the app itself. Is it functionally unique from the others or more about learning/technologies?

@box464@mastodon.social avatar

@cbielstein It's following along the lines of IceShrimp and Firefish with emoji reacts and MFM. The idea is that admins with these platforms would be able to easily migrate.

A few things are being abandoned (Clips), and others are being added. (Not exactly sure what Magazines are)

Have you ever watched a movie that had a moment that made no sense and it just went on like it didn't happen?

"It Follows", a horror film from a few years back had this - a random scene where some teenagers are hanging out watching TV when one pulls out a plastic seashell, flips it open, and it's some kind of e-reader / telephone with circular screens?

There's no further mention of it in the movie.

WTF. I still think about it to this day!

@box464 It's cool though! I would want one.

Embarrassing. I absolutely believed Phanpy did not have quote posting capabilities. I have even been jumping over to a different app on the rare occasion I use that feature, copying the post url, etc. over so I could find it. 🤦‍♂️

How could I miss it? The only thing I can think of is that at one time it didn't have them (I have been a Phanpy fan for a very long time), so I just blinded myself to them not being there out of habit.

I even run my own personal phanpy client instance. :psyduck:

@box464 I kinda sneak in this feature to observe responses 🫣

I’m looking for new shoes. Zappos presented me with this croc fever dream in my personal recommendations.

@stefan provides the fediverse with a lot of great apps and research. Go give his work a gold star (seriously, that's all he's asking for).

I watched a few of the ChatGPT 4o demos today and what disturbs me isn’t the usage, but the men’s behavior demoing it.

Most of the time, the voice assistant was a female voice. When the AI didn’t do exactly what was desired or they just wanted to move forward, they would interrupt it in mid sentence and ask it something else.

It gave me the same perceived emotion as when I saw this video for the first time. Sad and sick to my stomach.

A robot attempting to keep its balance, while a man comes in and kicks it down, harshly.

@box464

Yes we know it is a ROBOT,

but makes you wonder how 'some' would act w/ a real dog and this is the really 'creepy' part of it ( to me anyway 😢🥺)

and...

NO!, I do not have an 'AI' GF/BF or any other in that category

lol

🤣🤣🤣🤣😁👍

box464,
@box464@mastodon.social avatar

@wlf_warren Yeah, agreed. I get it is bits and bytes. But the behavior itself is gross, and with the conversational pattern being so lifelike and somewhat flirty (just…why?) how long before we start seeing this behavior becoming worse than it is already in meetings and conversations with real people.

🪑⑁💺 Looking for home office chair recommendations. 🪑⑁💺

I work from home full time. I spend 8 hour plus extra at night sometimes for study sessions / programming hobbies. Fairly regular sized person, looking for back support - I currently sit at the edge of my seat for some reason. Probably not good.

Willing to spend some money on this, although I will mumble and grumble about it.

Thanks!

@aj Thanks! I started searching around and found one with a foot warmer and massager, even. So many options.

@jnv I found an Aeron for dirt cheap - company going out of business. Had to go pick it up immediately. They had 35 chairs and sold out right after I got there. Thanks for the recommendation!

@box464 ... and? What did you think?

That said, there’s no denying Ruby has a whiff of the “Impossible Girl” about her, by which we mean she’s less of a Rose Tyler or Donna Noble (ordinary women doing extraordinary things) and more of a Clara Oswin, Amy Pond, or even a Rey Palpatine, if you fancy getting all Star Wars about it.

@box464@mastodon.social avatar

@julian I’ve just watched the 1st episode (well, the first that came out last week) and thoroughly enjoyed it.

I love seeing a doctor that’s more in tune with his emotions. And seems to be more direct with his companion, too.

The sonic screwdriver is my one WTF tho. Looks like a cordless mouse?

In recent years I’ve had to turn on close captioning to keep up. These two were easier to understand by this yankee and allowed me to focus on the show itself.

@box464@mastodon.social avatar

I have been testing low visibility accessibility on websites I visit, just to see what the experience is like.

Voice over is very easy to enable on a Mac with a magic keyboard. Clicking your touch id button quickly 3 times turns voice over on, and 3 times again turns it back off. Excellent shortcut that makes it easy to include in your development process.

Tumblr will remove their tipping feature on June 1. It was a payment integration with Stripe introduced two years ago.

Flipboard has created a newsletter on LinkedIn called “Fedicurious”. The fediverse has made it to LinkedIn.

Recently, they did a webinar on how federation works in Flipboard geared to content creators.
