Question: Is there something radically improved in the ChatGPT4 LLM such that it gets this right "organically?"
Or—pardon my cynicism—is there some exception code slapped into the system in response to a bug being filed, and this isn't actually "improved" so much as "faked to avoid embarrassment?"
»#Bluesky was launched to become the open source protocol layer for social media platforms, but the team ended up “literally repeating all the mistakes we made” at #Twitter.«
»There’s “absolutely no way” social media companies remain censorship resistant without moving to open protocols. “We need to change the foundation everything is built on.”«
I'm on here looking for text indexers and everything is 'lightning fast exoscale terafloops that scales to enterprise quantawarbles with polytopplic performanations' and it would be great if this industry could breathe into a bag until it remembers that one person with one computer is a constituency that matters.
@youronlyone I think The Appleseed Project is the oldest one, going back to 2004 (though the oldest archived sites I found so far are from 2005). I only learned about OSW from this article: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/10128476 – I think they were building on top of XMPP like Buddycloud, but I need to look further into it.
Yeah, I agree ATproto should be included.
I'll do some more digging next week and open an issue or a PR in your repository, thanks!
What the actual fuck, Mastodon.social?
They now interstitial wall links out like other social networks they bitch about? Really cool leading by example, not. Link is to be clicked without your backward warnings. #openinternet#mastodon#ux#ui#links#hypertext#mastodonsocial
Look at it, I still have a t-shirt from @webexpo 2013. It's kinda worn, but it lasted much longer than other conference merch (same can be said about those events). Little did I know I'd speak there 11 years later.
And in case you still don't have a ticket, you can use promo code “JANV24” for 15% off on http://webexpo.net/ (I don't get any referral bonus or anything, just good karma) #WebExpo#WebExpo2024
When you toot a link, every #fediverse instance that sees the toot hits the website, pulling the page & any linked OpenGraph image.
As the Fediverse grows, the number of requests increases. Eventually, it may grow so large as to crush smaller servers. There's also the risk of a DDoS amplification attack: post a stream of toots all linking to different pages on a site & watch the entire Fediverse hammer the site continuously.
Maybe we need some kind of hierarchical caching before that happens?
@markdarb@angusm While I think this is the way to go, I'm also curious how this will be abused since you've got to trust data embedded in the post.
Facebook used to allow anyone to change link preview, but now requires domain ownership verification to “eliminat[e] a channel that has been abused to post false news.” https://www.facebook.com/business/help/103043593796161?id=250502925955301
(I guess it's the case of people reading only previews and not checking actual links?)
@Edent Recently I ran into https://unrot.link/ by @rem which handles redirection to Internet Archive through intermediary service with client-side scripting. Seems quite useful for static sites.
BetMGM, MGM Resorts International’s online gambling subsidiary, is partnering with X to develop a feature to allow X users to easily place bets on the site.
