  • @me is this is a way to give Mozilla more money they can waste on LLM bullshit nobody wants, or does it actually support someone working on actually useful features users actually want?

  • I just heard that a former classmate of mine passed away. He had a difficult life, he had lost his entire family and, unfortunately, had serious drug and alcohol problems since he was very young. At one point, the situation seemed to have improved, he was working passionately in his business but... I believe that negative spiral had never really left him.

    A few months ago my parents saw him and didn't recognize him, he looked like a little old man even though he was about my age. So the news, although terrible, doesn't come as a complete surprise.

    What's truly beyond belief, on social media, are the people claiming the vaccine killed him. And I'll stop right there.

  • Mastodon's new server software (v4.5.0) brings a breakthrough for smaller servers:

    No matter which server you are on, all replies to all discussion threads are automatically fetched as soon as you browse a discussion. It doesn't matter which server you are on or which server they are on, you will all see the same complete discussion. (Unless a user or server is banned of course.)

    If you've previously held back, this is a great time to try smaller servers! 🥳

  • Big News: FreeBSD Joins the Open Container Initiative

    FreeBSD has officially joined the Open Container Initiative (OCI), marking an important step in aligning FreeBSD’s long-established jail technology with widely adopted container standards.
    This development enables users to begin testing OCI containers on FreeBSD using tools such as Podman.

    Watch the recent discussion:

    We welcome your thoughts.
    How do you see OCI compatibility influencing your use of FreeBSD?

    @thisismissem@activitypub.space Ah, I seem to have misread the code. I was confused by Mastodon serving its own instance actor from /actor. Thanks for the clarification!

    @julian @box464 There's actually already an Android app that allows all this: Raccoon for Friendica (which actually also works for Mastodon).Raccoon for Friendica is a rather unique app, one I'm very fond of, because it perfectly illustrates how the best ideas come from the "contamination" of different environments. Here's an article about Raccoon that should be updated, which I wrote a few weeks after the app's beta release (launched in late August 2024)Raccoon for Friendica was developed by @akesiseli after he had already developed an Android client for Lemmy (Raccoon for Lemmy).When he focused on Friendica, he faced the problem of how to translate Friendica's ability to display group conversations into an app (they're quite visible on Friendica's web interface, though they don't have the clearest interface possible like Lemmy's or forum platforms like NodeBB and Discourse). He ported the "topic view" feature already present in Lemmy's apps to Friendica!Since Raccoon is an app that also works with Mastodon, @akesiseli attempted to "force" Mastodon to have the same interface, and after a few attempts, he succeeded perfectly.Raccoon for Friendica still has a few imperfections (search isn't 100% functional, it still doesn't handle resharing with quoting, and other minor glitches, and feed capture is still a bit slow compared to Tusky and Fedilab), but despite being just over a year old, it's a decidedly mature app. Most importantly, it offers group viewing features that no other app offers. And—trust me!—group viewing isn't the only new feature Raccoon has brought to a social media client!I hope the app's development continues well, although I'm a little concerned: the developer is a bit disappointed that almost no one uses his app... But this is mostly due to the fact that the app has a name that appeals to Friendica users (who are very few) and that even the most established apps for Mastodon suffer from competition from an "official" app!

    Mastodon has a concept called "pinned statuses", which is a special collection attached to a Person actor. https://docs.joinmastodon.org/spec/activitypub/#featured It wasn't readily known how this collection is updated and federated (not without code achaeology), but claire@social.sitedethib.com recently shared some additional info :smiley: The actor itself will issue an Add activity targeting the collection with the status in object. This activity is sent to all followers of the actor. No activity is sent if the actor has no remote followers. A Remove is sent when a pinned post is unpinned. This is what the Add looks like: { "@context": "https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams", "type": "Add", "actor": "https://example.org/users/testUser", "target": "https://example.org/users/testUser/collections/featured", "object": "https://example.org/users/testUser/statuses/115266412340579560" } The corresponding Remove is identical except for type, which is of course, Remove.
