@alex I'm beginning to learn that Nostr rocks. I'm busy on different tasks right now, so I don't think I'll convert my Soapbox server to a Nostr server, but running a Nostr server might be in my future.
@9to5Mac A future Vision Pro headset will be the only computer you own. It will be the size of a pair of wear-over sunglasses, have a week-long battery life, include a phone, WiFi, and Bluetooth, and connect to a keyboard, if you want.
Larry Flynt was right when he noted that if the First Amendment protects him, then it definitely protects you. Internet service providers are not bound by the First Amendment. Hence, canceling people who anger the thin-skinned is now a thing. The article didn’t mention Gab. CloudFlare hasn’t dropped them, yet, but registrars and hosting services and credit card vendors did. They’re still very alive (and very Christian).
I'm adding translation to #Mammudeck. I see a "language" field in the "Status" entity, and I see a "Display Language" on the https://gleasonator.com/settings page, but I don't see where the value for "Display Language" can be read in the API. Any idea off the top of your head, or is it time for me to learn to read the Soapbox source code?
Also, how do I add translation to an existing Soapbox/Rebased install?
@james@alexmammudeck.com works well against Rebased. But then, I make sure it's compatible with as many servers as possible. I don't know if Pleroma-FE is as careful about that.
@alex I changed my profile photo and header for @billstclair last night, but the profile got sent to Gleasonator before then. How often does ActivityPub send updates? Looks like the site logo has also not yet updated (it's now an Anarchism A).
@alex I notice that Gleasonator has a translate API. I see no documentation of this at https://docs.joinmastodon.org/methods/statuses/. Is it specific to Rebased, a Pleroma feature, and/or an undocumented Mastodon feature?
@alex@ahmad Hashtags DO have feeds, so you can visit one in the Soapbox UI with, e.g. https://gleasonator.com/tags/elmlang (found in the "Hashtags" tab in search) . In #mammudeck, you can have columns for hashtags. Following them would be nice.
If I spell a mention wrong, e.g. @billstclair, and then go back and edit the status to spell it correctly, the <status>.mentions field doesn't get populated. @alex
I fixed the mention by editing the post. If billstclair is not in the mentions, I'll create an issue in GitLab.
@alex Which translation service does Soapbox use. Yes, I could look at the source, but it would take a long time. You likely know off the top of your head. I could always use Google's, but many people don't like them.
I'm a retired lisp weenie, currently working on #mammudeck, in #elm. When I'm not surfing The Fediverse or Twitter, or writing code, I play the trombone, sing in the local chorus, ride an e-bike all over Knoxville, and wear a Utilikilts kilt every day. I usually surf the Fediverse through my own private instance as @billstclair@impeccable.social.
