Anyone using pixelfed(.social) with 2FA and being prompted for a 2FA code *every*. *single*. *time* they go there? Or is it weirdness on my side.

New #podcast episode (after I was out for a couple of weeks)... we talked calm computers (Daylight DC-1), bad Google search results, Microsoft's Recall vs Rewind.AI, and more. @gamesatwork_biz https://gamesatwork.biz/2024/05/27/e467-total-recall/

Proof that my MastoDot post arrived in hard-copy

@steve yes I see what you’re saying here. Initially the metaphor was quite good, but you’re right that there’s no overall governance so that aspect breaks down a bit. Still - I mostly see the hackneyed email metaphor, so this was an interesting alternative way to look at it.

@steve that's a good point, the international aspect covers the different cultures and rules piece as well. Nice enhancement to the concept.

An excellent #fediverse and #activitypub explainer! (and it doesn’t even refer to any specific platform) https://youtu.be/VmSWPj0T9IQ

Wow - #DoctorWho “Boom” was really, really good. Excellent writing, direction, acting. Loved it.

Today was a great set of meetings and discussions, moving the #Fediverse forward. Nice to reconnect after too long with @chrismessina - and to meet @snarfed.org @J12t @anca @frozencanuck in person, lots more connections to make tomorrow. It is an exciting time in the #ActivityPub and #MastodonAPI ecosystem!

Co-authored an update from the @MastodonEngineering team with my friend @renchap - a sneak peek at what is coming in 4.3 (and looking ahead from there). We'll aim to make these updates a regular feature for the blog. Let us know what you think! #MastodonAPI #SpreadMastodon https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2024/05/trunk-tidbits-april-2024/

... as with many large software projects, there's a balance between choosing features to implement, keeping things stable, and fixing known or emergent issues. We have to make decisions about the scope for a release, so there will always be some things that need to wait until the next time. We want to try to share what we've been working on in a more consumable format, more often.

I wanted to find something I knew I'd seen on Mastodon a few weeks ago - @ivory for the win, I'd bookmarked the post, and was able to search my bookmarks 🙏🏻 exactly the kind of thing I've wanted to be able to do with my social channels for a long time.

@thisismissem as I posted last night... the conspiracy theories and other speculations are (as you rightly pointed out in this thread) exhausting! https://macaw.social/@andypiper/112350599989018985

I left some Mastodon stickers on the table near the entrance #HackadayEurope

Exhausted and fed up thanks to the travel chaos today. My fun weekend in Berlin is looking a lot less fun.

Is anyone else able to "Create a Pod" via the button on activitypods.org? I am seemingly not getting anywhere in my efforts to do so. #ActivityPods #ActivityPub #SolidPods

Utter stupidity. Utter, utter, idiotic change. I have no idea at all how this change could get pushed out, other than "the boss said to do it". 🤮 https://mashable.com/article/twitter-dot-com-posts-change-to-x-dot-com-ios

@james @agates @evan @laurenshof @tchambers @Podnews @227573 there are logos for both Fediverse and ActivityPub. https://joinfediverse.wiki/What_is_the_Fediverse%3F and https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:ActivityPub-logo.svg for example

@ricmac the period immediately after the buyout and layoffs was the worst, because the brand and company I loved was being ruined. Now it's X, and I never worked at, or signed up for, that. Different entity. Sad, but a useful distinction that is now borne out in the name.

@ricmac we were working on it!

@film_girl @thomasfuchs well the real shout-out goes to @smallsco 🙏🏻 I’m such a fan of the developers who make these apps for retro OSes and hardware.
