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 :)
@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)
This is nuts. Sam Altman asked Scarlett Johansson to voice ChatGPT 4o and when she refused, OpenAI hired someone else to mimic her voice from "Her" only to take it down after she complained. Wow. 🤯
@carnage4life As soon as I heard the voice, I understood who it was and the reference they were making to the movie. The fact they reached out right before the demo asking her to reconsider, then using it anyway is appalling.
@alexandra@andycarolan You're laughing now but when you jump the rope on the trail and end up in a portal to the netherworlds you'll wish you had heeded that sign.
QR codes are nice as an addition to URLs on conference presentation slides, but they're not great as a replacement. If you're using a QR code to link to a website, please share human-readable URLs on your slides as well.
@jonafato We're going all digital on our handouts this year and hadn't fully considered this. At the moment the QR Code takes them directly to the handout for that session, the displayed URL takes them to the general handout site and then they have to navigate to the appropriate session (there are 500+ sessions over 7 days). Might reconsider and come up with a short domain/session pattern for the URLs.
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?
@Mrfunkedude An older woman working at my local grocery store asked me timidly if I needed any help. I didn’t really, but something told me she needed me to need help. I told her I needed cool whip and we walked around talking and looking for it. I thanked her for her help and she walked away with a smile on her face.
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:
@andycarolan AI will be jammed into hairdyers soon.
As we talk with vendors at work, I ask "How does [specific AI integration point] enhance my team's use of your platform?" and the answer is commonly hem and haws and finally "you can turn it off, it's optional."
There are a few instances where I do think it has been beneficial. As a rubber duck for developers. As a way to empower non-techie users to build reports is another (with guardrails on which datasets the AI has access to).
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.
@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.
Version 1.1 of #Pipilo on #iOS is out. Pipilo is a unique fediverse app where you view posts one at a time in a horizontal timeline.
New in this update is support for notifications. Following the core idea of the app they are displayed in horizontal groups organized by days.
Premium users can also enable push notifications with quick reply action.
