#Bluesky launched DMs! 👀 (not federated or encrypted yet, just a v1) https://bsky.app/profile/bsky.app/post/3kt3y33tk4w2m

Took them like a month to build it all from start to finish :0

I sometimes wonder how things would've looked on #Bluesky if the first beta had been ready just 6 months earlier, if all those people who left Twitter for Mastodon could have gone there…

I've just checked the hashtag feed for #swiftlang and apparently there were 19 posts in total… (and 9 of those from me) 😕

Current status: beta-testing DMs on Bluesky by making API calls to sendMessage and getMessages in the Ruby irb console, because I didn't feel like messing with npm and React Native, and I figured I'd rather dig into the code and do it manually 😆

That feeling when Mastodon people would rather side with Jack Dorsey than with the #Bluesky developers 🙃

Jay, #Bluesky's CEO, now has a bridged account here via Bridgy Fed 🙂 @jay.bsky.team@bsky.brid.gy 🦋

#Bluesky has posted an updated #ATProto protocol roadmap for the coming months: https://docs.bsky.app/blog/2024-protocol-roadmap

#Bluesky tip: if you're running some kind of company/org account that's posting to Twitter/Mastodon etc. and you could consider posting to Bluesky too, but you need to integrate it into some existing system, there is a command line tool someone wrote here: https://github.com/mattn/bsky - it should be possible to integrate it with anything that lets you run a shell command. Handles images, link facets etc.

New word learned: "monomorphization" 🤨 https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/ch10-01-syntax.html

(Please tell me there are no monads here 😛) #rustlang #🦀

Mastodon when #Bluesky launches: "it's Jack's social network"

Mastodon when told that Jack is not the CEO and doesn't own or control it: "but he's still on the board"

Mastodon when Jack leaves the board: "well Bluesky is dead now since Jack left"

Oh nice, looks like it's official 👀 https://docs.bsky.app/blog/self-host-federation

(I don't know what's the status of the "10 users" limit, at least the Bridgy PDS got it lifted, but even if it's not announced yet I think it's also going away / or will be relaxed soon)

#bluesky #atproto

mackuba, 18 days ago to ruby

Current status: I opened about 100 links to articles and threads from Google results comparing #ruby, #golang and #rustlang and I'm planning to read them 🫠

(no, I'm not really considering Go, mostly just trying to convince myself that I'm not making a mistake starting to learn Rust and not Go 🦀😛)

It's insane that I can have a conversation with this thing and in a few moments and a few back and forths build a working program in a language I know nothing about (I don't know Go)… don't tell me this isn't huge 😳 #golang #chatgpt

You: One modification - this current code counts all matches of all regexps against the text. So if one line of text matches two or more regexps, it will be counted as 2 or more. I want a given line of text to only be counted once if it matches
You: What's the command to compile this to a binary? ChatGPT: To compile a Go program to a binary, you can use the go build command followed by the name of the Go file you want to compile. If you want to specify the output binary name, you can use the -o flag followed by the desired name. Assuming your Go file is named main.go, you can compile it to a binary named my_program like this: You: Looks like
You: Great, that works 👍 Is there some way to compile this program in "release mode", with a more optimized version or something? ChatGPT: Yes, you can compile your Go program in release mode with optimizations using the go build command with the -ldflags flag set to -s -w, and the -trimpath flag set to remove the build path from the resulting binary. Here's the command to compile your program in release mode: You: I mean, not optimizations for binary size, but optimizations to make it faster? ChatGPT: Ah, I see! In Go, optimization for speed primarily comes from the compiler's default optimizations, and there isn't a direct flag to enable additional optimizations beyond what the compiler already does. However, there are some general principles you can follow to improve the performance of your Go program: Profiling: Use Go's profiling tools (go test -cpuprofile, go tool pprof, etc.) to identify bottlenecks in your code and optimize them. Profiling helps you understand (…)

Good read - interesting comparison of how moderation is handled on the Fediverse and #Bluesky, with Fedi being more like a "network of clubs" and Bluesky putting more emphasis on personal preference vs. closed communities, and what this means in practice: https://www.aendra.com/some-thoughts-on-running-a-moderation-service-that-blocks-screenshots/

The #BlueskyBridge by Snarfed was soft-launched this week - still very alpha and a lot of things don't work, but posts are starting to come through both ways 🙂

Right now you need to follow the bridge to get bridged (the DM-request mechanism isn't finished yet). I'm tracking the bridged accounts (M->B) here: https://blue.mackuba.eu/directory/fedi

mackuba, 19 days ago to bluesky

So apparently we've hit that 30% chance after all and #Bluesky didn't die before they allowed a bridge to run, who'd have guessed? 🤔

Somebody plz ping Evan about this - I'm not on Threads, I don't like commercial social media platforms 😈

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm 🤔😏

I really want to write something bigger in #RustLang 🦀, but I just can't think of anything else beyond that regexp matching where I'd need that raw speed (where #Ruby is not enough), except maybe an indexer for an AppView, but I kinda have too many things open atm to start working on that… 🤔

Nice, #Ubuntu 24.04 LTS is out! Time to spend another months migrating all my servers again, just as I finally finished the migrations from 18.04 that I started a year ago 🤪 https://9to5linux.com/ubuntu-24-04-lts-noble-numbat-is-now-available-for-download-heres-whats-new

mackuba, 28 days ago to ruby

Hmm… ok, so this looks promising. The middle is #Ruby Rake task loading records and passing them to #RustLang regexps, the bottom one is a Rust program loading from SQLite itself.

I don't want to duplicate all the feed/model logic in 🦀, but maybe I can hire it to do some more of the work somehow? 🤔

mackuba, 28 days ago to rust

Trying to write another piece of example code in #RustLang together with ChatGPT - at first he gave me a very legit looking code immediately, except it doesn't compile… We're trying to pair-program on it, but it looks like neither of us has a clue how to make it build 😛

One year anniversary of when #Twitter started dying.

Dying is still in progress, somehow
