The GoToSocial developers add a feature that serves randomized nodeinfo stats because services like FediDB don't have an opt-out from the crawling.

dansup goes out of his way to call it "they do this for clout on FediDB" and calls out the project not to be used anymore. šŸ’€

This kind of behavior towards other fedi devs surely goes against the so touted around morals and "being all for fedi".

Could I just attach @delta to my existing Postfix+Dovecot server and get the same features as the chatmail servers (aside from push notifications, I guess)? :blobfoxthinkgoogly: #Deltachat
in reply to Doughnut Lollipop ć€čØ˜éŒ²äæ‚ć€‘

You can just use @delta with your existing Postfix+Dovecot server by clicking "Create new profile" -> "Use other server" -> "Classic E-Mail login" and logging into your server there.

There are not that many features offered by chatmail on top of Postfix+Dovecot:
- Patch removing half a second delay from Dovecot: github.com/dovecot/core/pull/2…
- Strict DKIM signature checking
- The ability to create an account via QR code
- Filter to prevent sending unencrypted messages
- push notifications

TIL about the Model Context Protocol, a standard for exposing tools/resources/prompts to LLMs used via desktops/other clients. Intriguing. I've been wondering how old-style Mycroft/Alexa-style skill development would work in the age of LLMs and I'm guessing this is it.

Currently trying to use Goose, a CLI developer agent, to build a Joplin MCP server that exposes notes/tags/resources to models. Since context is apparently everything with these, I'm wondering if I can eventually spec out a project in Joplin and have an LLM help implement some features, and/or have the LLM update that spec as things change, including potentially creating/toggling todo items and such. Seems to be off to an OK start.

Maybe I'll finally build that GTFS interface/skill I've been thinking about for years. Would love the ability to chat with transit schedule data, including real-time updates, right from my desktop or Home Assistant satellite. modelcontextprotocol.io/introd…

Another stunning statistic: Google and Apple’s income from app store fees on games is likely higher than all game publishers’ combined income, both mobile and non-mobile.

The Poetry Fan Who Taught an LLM to Read and Write DNA | Quantum Magazine
"...ChatGPT was trained on large volumes of written English text, from which the algorithm learned patterns that let it read and write original sentences. Similarly, Evo was trained on large volumes of DNA — 300 billion base pairs from 2.7 million bacterial, archaeal and viral genomes — to glean functional information from stretches of DNA that a user inputs as prompts. ..."

@RaccoonForFriendica version 0.4.1-beta10 has been released and is available for testing in the Play store (or in Obtainium if you prefer installing directly from GitHub)!

Apart from the usual localization and dependency updates, this version contains several improvements for embedded images and, if you are using Friendica, you will also be able to insert embedded images within your post body (as opposed to regular attachments). This can benefit those who want to create larger posts with several illustrations.

Let me know what you think about it and, as always, #livefasteattrash

@Piero Bosio thanks for the feedback! Let me see if I understand your idea correctly: do you mean to add more options (e.g. "add image", "embed image", "add link", etc.) in the drop-down menu shown in the post creation page?

I purchased meanwhile, hmm 10 years ago? Was it even out 10 years back? It was pretty accessible with VoiceOver but I got to a point where it got frustrating so gave up. I just redownloaded it and am loving every second of it since it is now accessible with VoiceOver! Every Interactive Comic by Zarfhome Software Consulting now has VoiceOver support! I will be buying the others! Thank you so much from blind interactive fiction players everywhere!

Okay, for those of you who don’t know what bikeshedding is:

If you built a nuclear power plant and asked the community to give feedback, they will focus on the details of the bike shed out front because they don’t know the first thing about nuclear power, but still want to sound smart.

This is textbook bikeshedding behavior. They’re not in their positions to oversee power plants or launch rockets. They’re here to do bigot shit. That’s literally their only qualification.
