Ok, so Threads flipped the switch that allows folks within the Threads system to follow people who are posting elsewhere in the fediverse (like Mastodon, Pixelfed, miscellaneous nerdy #ActivityPub server). Here’s where to find me (if it actually works) @jrollans@mastodon.social and @jrollans@jrollans.com
Have a feeling that second one won’t work, we shall see…
@jrollans@threads.net ah yes, I forgot about the long damn delay before a Threads post actually makes it out into the federated world.
The only way to make sure you don’t contribute to things like this is to not participate in public internet social media services.

This release has been inspired by the song Subways Of Your Mind by #FEX.
If you were born before March 1994 then you're older than most people.
@NanoRaptor I’m younger than most medieval kings if they were alive today
@NanoRaptor and that hurt my feelings dot png
@NanoRaptor I'm seeking refuge in the local medium age being 42,3. Being from 85, that still just about serves me.
I might consider a longer stay in Japan in the near future though.
@AngryAnt I have memories of feeling old that pre-date your birth!
@AngryAnt No really. I had an announcement on the radio that I'd turned 13 and was a teenager now, and I remember standing in the doorway of my room looking out at the world going "ungh. It's just going to get worse from now on isn't it?!"
July 1984.
@NanoRaptor I mean it was 1984 - I think an "ugh" was warranted in general?
@NanoRaptor What's most interesting is thinking about the deviations from that.
Where (geographically) is that true, and where is not true?
What are the contexts in appears not to be true? e.g., where do we simply skip counting kids? Where do young *adults* voluntarily fail to show up?
For example, the median *voter* in the *US* is around 50 years old, but the median (living) *person* on *earth* is around 30.
@jrollans we live in a dystopia.🤦♂️😔
i just read the absolutely saddest twelve-word short story
“The Church of Scientology has reportedly purchased the Jim Henson Studios Lot”
@cabel DOES THE E METER WORK ON FROGS
@jrollans @Turnimunt fedidb.org
👍
Anyone got an idea?
No ads. No trackers. No subscriptions. No Cost. Just wallpapers.
@BasicAppleGuy Shots taken!!!!
@BasicAppleGuy you should make an app 😉
I just read a comment on a thread that said something to the effect of “I preferred the internet that wasn’t driven by profit focused influencers” and it made me realize that I loathe that profit-driven focus of social networks these days.
The new Vitals feature in the #iOS18 #Health app is pretty neat. No new data really, but a straightforward way to visual data. When I got #Covid a couple weeks ago I felt awful and there was no doubt that I was sick, but interestingly the day before I started feeling bad the Vitals app showed “Outliers” in my sensor data. High body temperature, fast respiration, rapid heart beat, etc…
The thing that really gets me about this screen capture situation in the next version of macOS is that it lays bare the hubris of security folks.
I bet they rarely take screenshots - all their work is low-level internal mechanisms. What good is an image of a SHA hash going to do them?
Meanwhile there are hundreds of thousands of developers working with designers, clients, managers, and other folks who want to see the current state of their work.
We take a shit-ton of screenshots.

If you’ve never heard of this company or game and you like adventure games with well thought out puzzles, just get it!
And… it’s got PCVR support and I will finally realize a dream I had when I was a young teenager. I will go to the islands in VR!
I guess there’s one upside to my deteriorating memory function. Like seriously, I appreciate being able to experience the things I love, again, for the “first” time. Hopefully the old memory bank doesn’t get any worse.
I of course will customize and upgrade it myself however.

Is there something already that runs yt-dlp on a server and outputs an rss feed / podcast of the results?
Support for custom Emojis has been added; they are no longer hardcoded, but read from the emojis.json
file at the server base directory. Also, they are no longer limited to string substitutions, but images as external URLs are also supported (see snac(8)
for more information).
Fixed a bug that caused some notifications to be lost when coming from a user in the same instance.
Added an additional check for blocked instances (sometimes, posts from blocked sites that were ancestors of legit posts were 'leaking' into the timeline).
On OpenBSD, if the disable_email_notifications
server flag is set to true
, unveil()
is not called for the execution of the /usr/sbin/sendmail
binary and pledge()
doesn't set the exec
promise.

Worf: Just remember Rule of Aquisition No. 111: Treat people in your debt like family – exploit them.
Jadzia: You know the Rules of Aquisition?
Worf: I am a graduate of Starfleet Academy. I know many things.
The answer is: 1 (doesn’t count though because he’s a threads tech engineer).
Working on a page for my #fediverse SVG icons. Anyone want to help make this page better? My CSS and HTML abilities are lacking...
The page is live at https://fediverse.wake.st
I have a @Codeberg repo here up here https://codeberg.org/FediverseX/pages
An important distinction is slowly being uncovered about the definition of the term "fediverse." Who is it that gets to decide what this place is? How are we being represented? These are not easy questions to answer and if we don't do a better job describing ourselves, then the job will get done for us by people who don't understand the underlying values we hold. #fediverse #meta #threads
I’ve been wondering what I’m going to do in the not-too-distant future when my photo library is so large I have no choice but to pay for its storage somewhere.
Incoming posts can now be filtered out by content using regular expressions on a server level (these regexes are written in the filter_reject.txt
file at the server base directory; see snac(5)
and snac(8)
).
Improved page position after hitting the Hide
or MUTE
buttons (for most cases).
Use a shorter maximum conversation thread level (also, this maximum value is now configurable at compilation level with the MAX_CONVERSATION_LEVELS
define).
Fixed a bug where editing a post made the attached media or video to be lost.
The way of refreshing remote actor data has been improved.
Posting from the command-line now allows attachments.
Added defines for time to enable MacOS builds (contributed by andypiper).

Here's a comparison of the 6-foot model (#StarTrekTNG's "Peak Performance"⬆️, "The Vengeance Factor"⬇️) and the 4-foot model ("Reunion") of the USS Enterprise-D, seen from similar angles. The 6-foot model shots re-use the same footage.
