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

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/introdā¦

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.
