Anyone have any recommendations for guests for Fireside Fedi?

Feel free to volunteer as well. You don't have to have a project, we can just talk about anything and get to know each other!

We all have something to contribute, and I need help with folks to speak with. 😊

Deserved attention from 404media today too on the Smart Glasses detector app 👍 (FYI only as a sub is needed to read the whole thing, but a good sign)

#FotoVorschlag: Eingefrorene Bewegung // Frozen in motion

Zum #TextureTuesday noch eine Aufnahme vom #Starkregen, der uns letztes Jahr im Juni ereilte, als das #Fallrohr an der Terrasse noch eine Baustelle war.

For #TextureTuesday, here's another shot of the massive #downpour we had in June last year, when the #downspout by the patio was still under construction.

A close-up photograph capturing the dynamic flow of water pouring from a metal downspout. The stream of water is frozen in motion, revealing intricate patterns of bubbles and droplets as they cascade downward. The background is a soft, blurred white, which accentuates the clarity and texture of the water, creating a striking contrast.

What if... you had one Fedi account on a generic headless server that simply hosts and federates your data... and had C2S UIs for microblogging, long form writing, media editing and sharing, link aggregation, games, fitness tracking, and so on, that all used that same Fedi account. Technically, it's a similar concept as ATProto (but no relay and app view) and Solid Pods (but no RDF).

It seems possible... if we can improve the AP C2S API/protocol sufficiently.

@steveSteve Bate This is exactly the sort of thing I'm hoping we see on the Fediverse

One thing that might need some careful design is: how to scope down the access that each of the C2S-connected apps have? A game for example doesn't need to be able to read all of my/my friends' messages, only game-related ones

I think the work Spritely's been doing could be a good building block for such a generic server

Do you want to hide posts that link to certain websites? You can do this with Mastodon Filters:

1. Create a new filter
2. Add domain names of the sites that you don't want to see links to (e.g. example.com), use new keyword for each domain
3. UN-tick box marked "whole word" for each keyword
4. Save filter

If you're not familiar with using filters, there are easy-to-follow step-by-step instructions for creating filters in the guide at:

➡️ fedi.tips/filtering-your-timel

A dark image. The background is unclear and blurry. On the foreground on the left there is a huge circle, inside of which a profile picture belonging to @lrnz@feed.lrnz.it.

The atmosphere has some great labelers that do an amazing job of moderating. But as PDS admins, we do not have a great solution to use these amazing resources. So I created label-watcher. It subscribes to multiple labelers and notifies you if a user on your PDS gets labeled by a watched label.

Anthropic is putting out this report about DeepSeek at the same time that the administration is reporting that DeepSeek v4 was trained on NVIDIA hardware that evaded export controls. This smells like DeepSeek is going to drop something impactful next week.

RE: mastodon.social/@tzimmer_histo

I realize now that it was probably a mistake to publish this piece on this SOTU/Epstein-dominated day…

But if you can stomach it: I am “celebrating” the tenth anniversary of National Review’s “Against Trump” with a deep dives into the history and political identity of Modern Conservatism:

This came up a bit over the past week in conversations online, but the way that fixating on short-term productivity in technical work SEEMS good but can actually harm us, is something I've been working on for years.

The fourth chapter of my book is on this paradox! *waits impatiently for release*
