@polotek From what I understand it's not so much your instance is pulling but the followed instance is pushing uodates to the follower. Mastodon in particular is pretty much only waiing for data to be pushed to it. It makes it annoying when you want to see posts on a profile that hasn't been followed for a while yet.

Yep! Google is labelling all Gemini sites as malware!
This is completely unbelievable, downright anti-competitive, and evil.
Google is literally trying to kill an entire protocol!

I’ve come up with the term “software rebranding” to describe software changes for change’s sake that nobody asked for and are forced upon us for no apparent reason, much like corporate name and logo rebranding, which is almost universally a failure but continues nonetheless.

Maybe the postal service should offer email?
I’ve been thinking about how I could have email service that isn’t a constant battle against Google over deliverability without having to use Gmail/Outlook/etc. and all the evil bullshit that entails.
Maybe there’s other providers who have the reputation and resources to deal with this but it to me thinking: if the postal service can deliver mail to everyone with a mailing address, why not have them do the same for email?
I know historically they were competitors, but I think that time has long passed. Aside from giving everyone reliable email it could also be a way to get back to internet email standards and get companies like Google to handle internet email properly. It has the negotiation benefits of something like single-payer health insurance.
I’m sure there’s downsides, and you could always have additional, privately-owned service addresses for that.

I saw this online somewhere and I just had to recreate it. This is my coding happy place.
Lol gonna ads a cron script to reboot my pixelfed instance every week since mariadb randomly locks uo every now and then if I don't and I'm too lazy to actually fix it
Every day the yearning to pivot to #BioEngineering and #SyntheticBiology grows deeper.
Neat info about how outside of DNA and gene therapy, cells can be induced to grow different structures using bioelectrical stimulus.

look ok it's very simple!
I just want a body that never tires, a mind that never rests, and a soul that never hardens. I want to be left alone to my thoughts and craft while always surrounded by friends and loved ones and praise. I don't want anything to ever change and I don't want progress to ever stop. give me the lifespan of an immortal with the appreciation of every passing moment available only to the condemned facing the gallows.
that's all I ask.

you never really realize how many charging-only USB cables you have until you try to program a fucking arduino
Got a salary review thing at work this month. Documenting all my responsibilities and weekly/monthly routine. Jeeze. I have a lot of hats. I remember back when I was an office drone and just had to juggle timelines and two three devs with their own features at a time. At least stuff is more stable than the 4 years of solo dev I was doing before.

@mauve is coming to #FediForum and wants to talk about lots of subjects:
* distributed.press and our social.distributed.press AP implementation
* sutty.nl : a static site generator CMS
* their distributed press integration
* peer to peer activitypub loading and our FEP for it
Join us in March? https://fediforum.org

Quick new post about making the headings of HTML tables "sticky":
"Please Make Your Table Headings Sticky"
https://btxx.org/posts/Please_Make_Your_Table_Headings_Sticky/
Survived six meetings and 8 context switches and all I got was this stupid t-shirt.
One of the neat innovations of the #DistributedPress #SocialInbox is that instead of having a large central instance database everyone pulls from for their clients, each user has a personal database of just the things they got sent. From there they can pull data from people they follow and replies using the ActivityPub client-server API. This means that the data you see has a higher social context to who you interact with rather than a grab bag of whatever folks throw onto the global timeline.
Maybe the real ActivityPub compliance suite is the friends we made along the way.
evil thoughts re: spam
One cool thing is that you don't need to set up a mastodon instance in order to run a spam campaign. If anyone wants to give me a million bucks I could whip up a tool that'd require fedi as a whole to go allowlist.
Context switching so fast it blurs into a single context.
@akhileshthite This is so slick! I love it.
