UPDATE: It's not only Google Gemini AI, some people tried out others and it also pulled information out. From describing people's profile to sometimes even going deeper in detail (giving email out) or making shit up.
I don't care if Michelle Obama runs your instance, if you don't have sufficient upstream bandwidth no one can see the media you post.
La piattaforma @mirlo, è una piattaforma open source molto simile a bandcamp che sta crescendo dal basso. Ha ottenuto 40000 euro per sviluppare la sua decentralizzazione.

Mirlo platform, an open source platform very similar to Bandcamp which is growing from the bottom up. It has obtained €40,000 to develop its decentralization.

Warning ⚠️ Google Gemini AI apparently can describe some fediverse profiles correctly to the point of exposing people's full name or making shit up. Implement safety ASAP.

There's no maintained #ActivityPub library for #JavaScript. I'll have to implement my own...
Looks like @todd won the #ActivityPub experiment.
Without memes aside, yes, he mentioned burnout in the article, yes, having a fediverse instance that is too huge can cause stress, which is why I spent a long time saying mastosoc had to put their registrations as limited, I feel sorry for the path Mastodon is following, and to anyone who hosts a Mastodon instance: Please fork.
I forgot how tedious it is to chase code coverage when writing tests.
However this was part of the reason that made me include the "boring" parts of building a robust library into the goals set for the #nlnet grant.
So after a couple of days of work I finally got the first of the storage backends for the #GoActivityPub library go past 80% test coverage.
I hope I can reuse some of the test logic in the other backends, as they need to perform identically.
I've been here for years and I still haven't cracked the Fediverse code.
On Twitter I could post "eating cereal" and get 50 bot likes + one crypto bro following me.
Here I can post a 30-second video of my cat trying to fight the vacuum cleaner with the caption "me when someone's instance federates with threads dot net" and… absolute silence. Not even a sympathy boost from the admin who literally pays for the server I'm yelling on 😭
So please, someone finally explain the secret sauce:
Do I need to switch my cat to a vegan gluten-free diet? Do I have to mention systemd negatively in every post? Or is the real trick sacrificing a Raspberry Pi to the old gods of ActivityPub??

Her view on #eusummit25 ? Severe lack of strategy and #buyeuropean is not enough.
We need #opensource #alternatives.
Jutta @smphr calls #openprocols like #Activitypub & #ATproto to allign and join forces.
