It automatically adjusts depending on how often the source posts articles. Presumably the idea is to avoid sending frequent requests to small servers that rarely publish. This does mean that if an account only publishes once a month or so, it'll probably take a day or so before you see the article.
It used to be configurable on a per-feed basis, but looking now I think that setting went away. It can still be configured in the database I believe.
The way Friendica does RSS polling is pretty broken. You're supposed to make conditional requests so that the feed only needs to be built when it genuinely has something new, and you're supposed to respect the retry time. That way you can request much more frequently without overloading the server. But implementing that would require database schema changes.
I just found adjustPollFrequency() in the source which adjusts the feed "rating" based on the number of recent posts.
The feed I was looking at has a rating of 8 (polling once a day) but other feeds I have lower ratings (more frequently polled). Thats consistent with what I see.
@msfjarvis I really thought I finally got the 2.41.0 change really properly fixed, but no, right after I decide "okay, all is good, I can remove Android 5 support and just relax and work on new stuff" someone reports (and fixes!) a critical regression I didn't even notice 🥲
Dieser Tag beinhaltete die Erkenntnis, das gute Freundin nicht gleichbedeutend ist mit Safe Person. Und die Frage, ob das funktioniert. Stand jetzt führte das dazu, dass der Meltdown so schlimm war, dass der Mann es nicht aushalten konnte und raus ging. Und ich weiß jetzt halt auch nicht. Ich will dass das aufhört. Alles.
I previously framed the resistance against copyright as a tragedy in three parts, from anti-copyright to free software and copyleft to free culture and the so-called creative commons. But this fourth act is tragicomic. AI as Détournement.
I can officially say, dev talk went well, and I'm on a great path to Senior Engineership. But I'm still very much considering nuking the entire NV Speech Repository and saying fuck it I'm done. Not sure. It's very, very tempting. Just blow it all away and close it, never work on it again and maybe someone will maintain it. But I'm sure every developer has that feeling in a project. It's not that I don't like harsh or bad feedback, it's that I feel like that feedback will always be there, for years, months, when you're making a synthesizer like that, so I'm just on this constant hamster wheel of failures? Sigh. Not sure. That's how it makes me feel honestly.
Yay! I am glad for you! Here is to much more success and many successful projects. And you should be happy, if you feel like you need to close off something, stop working on it for a while, give yourself a break, as much as you need, even if it might turn into a forever break from that thing, who knows, one day you might remember to work on it again. You should be your priority first. No one will or should blame you for not working on something, especially if you're the one and only person working on it, to be fair.
Someone will always complain about something, whether it's a reasonable complaint or not, especially in this community sadly. I just think it's cool when people like you, add-on devs, etc, put in the time to try to make this place a little better, so for that I say, thank you
@startrek2025 this is great to hear. Yeah, improvements come incrementally and not all at once sadly. I want to take a little break but then I feel like the feedback piles up and I have this itch to fix them all. Which is why we've added stuff like TrillModulation so you can make this thing now roll it's R's for 300 seconds if you wanted to (not recommended though.) Stuff like that. People send it in, and that itch really comes back to solve the problem. Whether with or without AI then I persist until it's solved, it's just how I tend to work.
There will always be angry people, and I think that just gets amplified with speech synths, where some people have very specific ideas of how they should sound and act. Hey if they don't like it, they can make their own.You're doing great stuff.

Our fridge died, so I had to rush-buy a beer fridge at 10AM the other night. Stuck a #UniFi #SuperLink multi-sensor in it... the fridge's display says it's at 3 degrees, but evidently it is not:
I don't know if it sucks, I just know there were no bangers that make me want to hear a specific track again. I can't even name a single track from it right now.
It was definitely TOOL. But that's just not enough.
Raspberry Pi has released the Raspberry Pi Flash Drive, a USB 3.0 Type-A flash storage device intended for file transfer, backups, and operating system use across Raspberry Pi boards and other computers.
Hello, I have for sale a BT Speak in good working condition. It's a nice unit. I'm just not using it to the extent I thought I would. A leather case is included, and I am asking $450 US.

Layoffs at Vimeo after acquisition by Bending Spoons
Bending Spoons bought Vimeo for $1.4 billion last fall. Now a second wave of layoffs is coming.

Is there a Canadian source for printed tshirts like teepublic? I need new Pride shirts and I’m not buying American anymore. Do I have to make my own design and take it to the store in the mall?
Good morning all. I'm waiting for a grocery delivery today. Can't imagine how busy the grocery stores are now. We could see up to 14 inches of snow with this storm. Today, I got a package from UPS, left at our door, addressed to someone at a completely different address. I read the address with my phone, searched and found the owner's phone number. I called and the package owner's wife picked up the box. Not much going on this weekend except the possible storm arrival. For all impacted, stay safe.
"I remember a couple years ago talking to a local businessman about Project Connect. 'If it doesn't go to the airport, what's the point?' he asked.
This is the kind of comment that would probably prompt vigorous nods of approval at a Chamber of Commerce luncheon but would make heads explode at a gathering of transit experts.
The idea that the purpose of public transit is to facilitate air travel is a more absurd version of the notion, popular among Sunbelt elites, that the point of public transit is to facilitate car travel by reducing car traffic.
(For the same reason that expanding highways doesn't reduce traffic, nor will public transit. The point of transit is not to make it easier to drive, it is to offer an alternative to driving.)"
This release contains some bugfixes for annoying little API issues, updates to robots.txt to forbid more so-called "ai" (🤢) crawlers, and a bugfix for polite interaction requests that will be useful when v0.21.0 comes out in a couple weeks.
If you're updating to this version from v0.20.0, v0.20.1, or v0.20.2, it's a very easy update with no db migrations.
If you're updating to this version from a version before v0.20.0, please follow the update instructions from v0.20.0, but replace 0.20.0 with 0.20.3 throughout. Be aware that the update to 0.20.x contains some potentially very long migrations. Please do read the notes carefully!
If you are currently on a snapshot / nightly build, stay on the snapshot / nightly build, as it's already ahead of this release.
Here's version 0.20.0 of GoToSocial, **Sinister Sloth**.
It's been a long summer of gently poking and prodding at the sloth's tummy and sides to make xem giggle.
I am unable to download my purchase of the new #Megadeth album because the service they are using relies on hCaptcha. If you are #blind and use a screen reader, you cannot solve the visual captcha. They ask you to install an #accessibility cookie, which I have tried to do with two different browsers, with no luck. The provided email address for help, customercare@mainfactorcommerce.com bounces. How much of my day am I going to waste on this? I can't even get my money back!! #A11Y
@cachondo The reason I was told, why Americans won’t change to the metric system, is that it would cost too much money to change all of the machinery that makes things, like a machinist would use.
@kevinrj :) it's become a funny meme at this point more than a serious suggestion, I think. Where it matters, like in scientific experiments, I think the US is already quite good at managing. After the Mars Climate Orbiter thing from the 90's, at least the scientific community woke up to the technical benefits.
I had to give some bloods and the young nurse who was doing it was rather buxom. As I had my arm out and my palm on my knee facing up, when she leant forward there was a serious risk of me cupping her boob. When she did lean back for a moment I had to close my hand to avoid it.

Oh, the irony of people using Bluesky and Substack to report on and protest ICE, MAGA, etc. You're anti-Nazi, but posting on the platform that says Nazis are welcome? How does that make sense?
@hub They literally acknowledged that they had people with Nazi views on the platform and refused to deplatform them. I really don't know how much more correct that analogy could possibly be.
What pisses me off quite regularly about where we are is that we did not get here overnight. We are here now because of the stubborn refusal of a large number of people to say "that's not OK, we're not going to accept that, and I don't give a flying fuck how loud you cry about it."
If people had ostracized the Tea Party bastards years ago, we wouldn't be here.
If Trump had been sidelined years ago, we wouldn't be here.
If Gamergate and 4chan hadn't been tolerated... we wouldn't be here.
We used to be able to contain this shit. Remember David Duke? The Republican party used to at least refuse to endorse outright bald, naked racism.
oh I know. A few years ago it was like "we pay nazis writer". And in 2025 they even send a promotion mailing with swastica and everything.
But then look at Governments worldwide continue to post on the CSAM generator formerly know as Twitter. They didn't stop when its owner made the salute. Now they are saying there is nothing they can do about the CSAM. (litterally that what our Govt said, posting on said platform)
This text on resistance in Minneapolis reminds me so much of @pluralistic 's book "Little Brother". It shows that groups need not be powerless victims, even when facing evil.
I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some prot…

@Tutanota FYI your email signature has a link to your twitter account but not to the mastodon account while your website links to mastodon but not to twitter. Maybe someone forgot to update the email signature at some point?
I get angry at myself when I have too many tabs open and can't find what I'm looking for I don't know how you people do it with your 600,000 tabs at once I see in your presentations and your screenshots.

in reply to Matthew Exon • • •Ah, I see, many thanks.
I just found adjustPollFrequency() in the source which adjusts the feed "rating" based on the number of recent posts.
The feed I was looking at has a rating of 8 (polling once a day) but other feeds I have lower ratings (more frequently polled). Thats consistent with what I see.
Thanks again.
