@lawlznet @seanb @socketwench Well, if I can't yell at celebrities and politicians and NYT columnists, then this place is an abject failure!

(😆😂🤣)

This talk's title slide makes me think I'm about to dig into an Infocom game

(i have no idea if this is intentional - if so, well done!)

@evan Since I work mostly remote, one of my "online" personae is for work. So that's a carefully-maintained thing.

But also, yeah, it's a lot of energy to spend on upkeep between different masks, so I try to minimize their number and drift from whatever vaguely passes for my core personality. Definitely not a focused singularity in here though

@lauraehall oh to be a sunbathing crow

This SkyFeed thing over on bsky is kinda neat - UI for building apparently shareable custom feeds through filtering & matching.

Kind of want to build something like that for over here in the fediverse, but it's rather search-adjacent

Edit: oh, crud, I guess you can't see that without a bsky account. Here's a screenshot

@onelson Well, this is more like being able to apply word matches and other filters beyond just hashtags to the post stream

Could build something like this against the streaming federated websocket on a mastodon instance's API.

That stream of posts would be authenticated per-user and have all the expected visibility & permission filters already applied - i.e. the filters wouldn't see anything that the user themselves wouldn't be able to see if they just stared at the federated feed all day.

Downside would be finding a convenient way to let users run their own proxy and yet share pluggable filters, whether that's self-hosted or on some semi-trusted shared host

@wraithan Yeah, that's a tricky thing, how to make something that's really best done as an always-on cloud server and maybe make it easy to use for non-sysadmins, without building yet another data-concentrating silo out of a shared host.

Threads, an Instagram app, which is a Meta brand, which used to be called Facebook.

I wonder if Worf, Son of Mogh, House of Martok, Son of Sergey, House of Rozhenko, Bane to the Duras Family, Slayer of Gowron will try installing the app?

So i was curious and peeked at the App Store listing for Threads, an Instagram App and holy crap they want a lot of data. I looked at Firefox, a whole-ass web browser, and whew that’s a difference
