@paulrickards thank you for this awesome plot.
Should I try it on my SX64?

@paulrickards I could write 1989 Block Out on it... just kidding, I don't want to risk ruining this beautiful plot!

I think the elephant in the room right now around is that it reflects a divergence away from creativity’s symbiotic relationship with technology.

For decades, creativity and technology made one another better. Now tech companies have found a new, cheaper hotness. And it could get ugly.

@Tekchip Thanks for the encouragement! I'm a bit PTSDed from B2C, for the time being. I might try it when I feel brave.

@Tekchip very cool! I sometimes wonder if I should give kickstarter a try for my own ePaper project...

@thunderbird hi there! I was not the original reporter. I'd be happy to help. I was going to reopen the issue on bugzilla, let me know if you prefer a different channel.

@john_fisherman or the opposite of one. I was facepalming every bit of the way as I learned of the goiânia accident.

Now for a good nuclear super hero movie set in an unlikely place, please proceed watching "Lo chiamavano Jeeg Robot".

@john_fisherman I wish it was. I was schooling myself on nuclear powered pacemakers and orphan radioactive sources.

Pontypool had one of the best post-credit scenes in the history of cinema.

jamez,
@jamez@mastodon.social avatar

It's really interesting how a post-credit scene can either crown a movie or leave a bad aftertaste. I think I would have hated to see the blooper reel in Being There, glad they took that one off in non-theatrical releases.

@jamez@mastodon.social avatar

@john_fisherman :emoji_squint:

Incidentally, the internet needs a repository of every post-credit scene of every movie with one. Would that be fair-use?

Why has the Internet never produced a recipe site that provides a flowchart instead of list of ingredients? It's such a more intuitive way to do recipes, and I have to mark up all of mine.

jamez,
@jamez@mastodon.social avatar

@ZachWeinersmith GPT-4 does a decent job at creating DOT files which you can then turn into images using vizgraph.

System Prompt: You are a flowchart expert. You take a cooking recipe and convert it to a graph using the DOT format. Emphasize the parallelism of certain tasks.

Prompt: [the content of https://keviniscooking.com/best-lasagna-recipe-bechamel/]

Output: see image.

It's not perfect, but it's a great start.

Still on the <=> front, it feels powerful to give readers the alternative to reply with comments on a post using either WP or Mastodon. Hat tip: @michael

@john_fisherman @michael
Fred, this solution is not seamless: messages posted through WordPress will not federate forward (though messages posted through Mastodon will appear on the blog). I think @pfefferle is working on that one.

How to implement: install ActivityPub plugin + Michael client-side code!

jamez,
@jamez@mastodon.social avatar

@pfefferle @michael Here's a WP wraparound plugin, in case this helps.

I've given some serious thought to creating a server just for the sake of merging this account to the instance bridging my blog to the . It just feels such a burden to maintain all that just for the sake of presenting a clean, single entity on Mastodon.

@john_fisherman It was recently micro-blogged.

@pfefferle @smschumacher Yeah, it's a tough one to crack, isn't it?

I have mixed feelings about going fully Fediverse (avoiding synchronization with WP comment system) because it forgoes the important capacity to moderate people's comments.

But really, there should be a more comprehensive way to control the entity generated by the ActivityPub plugin. I'll think some more about it.

jamez,
@jamez@mastodon.social avatar

@pfefferle That's great to hear.

jamez,
@jamez@mastodon.social avatar

@smschumacher I'm glad to have shared that sentiment with you. I think many people who enjoy blogging AND the Fediverse would love a way to merge the ActivityPub WP plugin with their "regular" account.

@pfefferle do you have any insight as to what would be the most elegant way to unify social functions (boosting, favoriting, browsing) with the ActivityPub WP plugin?
