I've been daydreaming of a neural nets powered note-taking system for a while so I can see at a glance the dependencies of each task. I love how this turns an otherwise dead-system into a livecoding environment.

curated relevant content that is more human than text only feeds. It’s more engaging to respond to a comment with a video and the comment super imposed in the video for example.
I wrote a For You algorithm that is really popular on Loops because people love content they are interested in.
Tl;dr: video is more authentic than text, seeing the person and emotion with video makes it more engaging.

If you see something you like on here, don't be scared to give it a favourite ⭐ !
If you really like something, you might want to also boost it 🔁 (which shares it with your followers).
There is no algorithm on here, so you can like and share whatever you want without any additional side effects.
Your timeline on here is entirely in your direct control, it isn't going to push stuff at you or hide stuff just because you liked or shared something.

I am increasingly convinced that a lot of companies no longer consider people using their product to be a viable market. Instead, they pursue feature sets desired by some population that is, itself, self-selecting.
"This feature is very popular with our user base" without understanding that the people who absolutely do not want that feature will simply stop using your product or service.
Think the "Survivorship Bias Plane", but for software and hardware.

한국에서는 기사 편집하는 사람들이 놀라울정도로 뭐랄까 은퇴해야하는분들인데 아직도 일하시는 모양 (먼산)
Just realized:
I was at the ER yesterday, and the people wearing masks were mainly the patients and the lower ranking and/or non-white staff members
Its never been easier to tell at a glance how trustworthy any random human in public is, bc there is no excuse for not wearing one at this point. None of the staff at the ER who treated me poorly wore one, but all of the staff who were kind to me, did. There was very little if any deviation from this pattern. The same attributes that make a medical provider trustworthy also result in them choosing to mask, and vice versa.
The thing about a medical excuse not to wear one is that such a situation doesnt exist. If youre "too sick to wear a mask" youre also infinitely more vulnerable to the infections they would shield you from in the first place. You would be doing things like social distancing or fully avoiding crowded/enclosed spaces bc even minor infections could land you in the hospital. You would be loudly in support of other people masking bc you are the very person those masks protect. There is also no such thing as a medical provider who doesnt need to mask.
If you want other people to know youre a safe person, wear a fkn mask. If you dont, we see you, bc you are wearing your trustworthiness right on your face.

I’d venture that it’s been effective for as long as humans have formed societies. It taps into some pretty deep wiring in our brains. That’s why it’s so important to actively, relentlessly counter it.
If Loops supported non-public visibility settings too, and we implemented local-only, unlisted, local-only unlisted and follower only, are there any others you'd like to see?
Off the top of my head, I can think of a "password protected" scope that is local-only and unlisted, and requires a specific password (that can be pre-filled via query params) to view.
Let's hear your ideas 💡

Mastodon publicó su informe de transparencia de 2024 hace dos semanas. Es bastante increíble todo lo que consiguieron ese año con solo 7 personas si sumamos dedicaciones parciales, y siguen con salarios relativamente moderados. En 2025 parece que tuvieron más presupuesto, aunque no lo sabremos hasta final de año porque siempre tardan bastante en publicar estos informes. https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2025/12/annual-report-2024/
