I really miss 3D Touch on iOS and Apple Watch devices. I feel like Apple dropped it because it was used so little, but if they would’ve made it more discoverable to begin with it could’ve been the basis for so many interactions that ended up convoluted now.

There are so many great #ActivityPub projects out there now and I want to play with all of them, but I don’t even have time enough to really enjoy the other 500 hobby things I’ve got going on.

Somehow it’s after 2 AM and I’m still awake. Also, related; I have to get up at 6 AM.

I finally got #snac2 working with #Ivory and my this particular account. It’s strange, I think I’ve narrowed the crash down to an issue with the way ActivityPub relays work in snac2. If there is a single boosted post in my timeline when Ivory pulls the data, it crashes instantly.

I’m attempting to troubleshoot #Ivory when used with #snac2 where the app crashes when attempting to load in certain bits of data (seems like some hashtags perhaps, or the data the hashtags lead to). Ivory logs a crash mentioning something about “serverFilters” or “imageIndex”. Like when I try to view the StarTrek tag something it tries to pull in crashes the app hard.

Now I’m just trying to find a specific post that will do it so maybe I can actually figure out what exactly is going wrong.

@ego@jrollans.com umm…

@testing@jrollans.com hmm… something strange going on here for sure…

@ego@jrollans.com I gotta start writing something that is more informative than “testing 123” when I do these test posts. So future me knows what the hell I was doing when present me becomes past me and is trying to fathom what the purpose was.

That tag may not be useful though, since it does have any friends. So how about #test

Are hashtags causing the crash? Let’s find out… #randomtest

How many new test accounts do I need?

This odds just a test. Everything is a test.

Test 123…

@macmanx@social.lol @chockenberry I’ve started working on a connector for Tapestry that will login to my FreshRSS instance, pull the latest articles and then mark them as read on the server. So basically any time Tapestry pulls articles from FreshRSS the articles it gets will then be marked as read in any other RSS reader I use (like Fiery Feeds, Reeder, etc…), that way I don’t see duplicates.

Now I just have to continue unearthing my JavaScript abilities. They’ve been buried a very long time.

This is a test post, what else would you expect from a test user?

@BeAware@social.beaware.live @bazurk I use @ivory@tapbots.social for my actual Mastodon account, but @MonaApp@mastodon.social for my #snac2 instance (Ivory logs into my snac instance now, but has major crashing issues if I do certain things, so still unusable).

I guess I was paying attention the whole time.

https://www.cnn.com/2025/02/18/health/us-food-recall-list-2024-dg-wellness/index.html

Has there been a huge increase in the amount of food recalls because of contamination (like listeria, salmonella, and botulism) in the United States in the past year, or am I just far more aware of the recalls?

@01413@jrollans.com ping…

@testing@jrollans.com hello testing!

This is a test account. For testing things.

It’s one of those nights where I really just don’t want to sleep, but it’s all I am able to do. I need a healthier relationship with sleep.

@BeAware@social.beaware.live It’s pretty strange, generally the fediverse feels pretty accepting and open to new ideas, but when it comes to federation beyond ActivityPub (a by-design federated protocol, ha!), not so much.

@BeAware@social.beaware.live To be blunt, he was essentially bullied into abandoning the opt-out bridge concept. 🤷🏻‍♂️

@BeAware@social.beaware.live @reiver Bridgy Fed was originally supposed to be opt-out, but so many people on ActivityPub based networks went bonkers with the notion that it somehow infringed on their privacy. I mean, I understand some of the argument relating to the possible increase of malicious actors, but that will happen regardless of any bridges if there is ever any significant active user growth. I was super excited about the bridge until that happened. It really killed any meaningful potential it may have had.

I just can’t grasp the notion of maintaining privacy on a completely open network protocol.

I don’t listen to any sort of actual terrestrial radio broadcast these days (I do occasionally stream KEXP), but for some reason I’ve been daydreaming of firing up a pirate radio station and wondering if anyone would hear it. With my luck, probably the FCC.

@paul@oldfriends.live @jrollans Wow, yeah, I had no idea! It seems like a pretty obvious necessity to have a way to stop federation and send out the message that the account is no longer active or an AP entity. Honestly to me it feels just as important as having a way to start federating in the first place.
