Screenshots comparing columns UI between Threads.net and Phanpy.social

A screenshot of a Phanpy social media feed. The interface shows three main columns: Following, FediDevs (list), and Notifications (showing recent interactions and messages).

@cheeaun "How can we mimic Phanpy but make it bland?" ✅ Done.

@adnan @phanpy In the screenshot, you can get to the shortcuts reference right above the blue highlighted Shortcuts / Columns menu item. 😉

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. 🤯

box464,
@box464@mastodon.social avatar

@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.

@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.

Tell me the story of the last time you committed an act of kindness in 500 characters or less.

There’s nothing wrong with bragging about creating kindness. There’s nothing honorable about not sharing the joy of creating kindness.

We need to uplift and encourage people who create kindness in their daily lives.

So tell us your story. It doesn’t have to be something big. It can be something as simple as helping someone carry a bag of groceries.

How did you create kindness this week?

@box464@mastodon.social avatar

@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.

Tonight I learned about SCIM, a identity management standard, which has been picked up and supported by Microsoft.

It's mostly for user auto provisioning and de-provisioning.

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)

🪑⑁💺 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!

@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!

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:

I appreciate these Lil' Linux Lessons, because all my linux experience has been self taught. I've often found things that most people just assume you know...I don't. Follow @vkc for more.

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.

box464,
@box464@mastodon.social avatar

@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?

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

WTF. I still think about it to this day!

About 5 years ago, I had a health situation and I didn't know if I was going to be able to return to my job as the senior developer for my organization. I went into a documentation frenzy, basically writing down everything I did day to day in as much detail as I could for my team.

Any documentation is better than none. This one saved me hours today. Do it.

I’m rewatching Ugly Betty as a comfort show when I have downtime. So far it has held up, but reserving final recommendations until I get a bit deeper in.

I forgot there is a transgender storyline. It’s treated a bit comically with some truths sprinkled here and there. To be fair, that describes the show as a whole.

But oof some slang that should not have made it in.

Also, of course the actress wasn’t trans.
