"you can just fork it" is not a useful reply to complaints about open source projects

There's been a lot of negativity around #Matrix and #Element recently. And I (somewhat) joined in and expressed my frustration with it every now and then. Something I still appreciate around #Matrix is the fact, that they listen to (most of) the criticism and acknowledge (many of) their problems […]

Also shout out to @benlk and his Columbus specific repos:

There are OPML files that can be easily loaded into most RSS readers, also JSON and CSV formats for _all_ the data (activitypub/atproto accounts, urls without feeds, etc.). I've tried to categorize/tag the data as best I could, but those could use some work.

For the past few years, I've been collecting every single RSS and ical source I could find from Columbus and Central Ohio and have just recently published them all to a github repo: https://github.com/tomcasavant/ohio-sites

About 730 RSS feeds and 39 icals.

If anyone has any more sources […]

My #FediforumFriday update this week is that I've been tinkering around at the MVP end of the fediverse, trying out projects like #snac (and also, honk). I really need to write some of these experiences down somewhere! Also, preparing for my talk at #FrOSCON next weekend.

I know a lot of folks have their qualms about Bluesky, but I hope folks are paying attention to what Rudy Fraser and Blacksky Algorithms are doing to decentralize their community from Bluesky PBC infra.

Decentralization at every level of the stack is happening on ATProto. It started *within* […]

@mackuba.eu I haven't read too much of how it works yet. But, I think they were planning to let you opt out of quoted posts and I imagine that wouldn't apply if you quoted you own post?

Well, that proves it, Joe Burrow is the greatest of all time

In July, the team made great progress on several features planned for the next major release, and tackled some refactoring tasks.

complete non-sequitur but this is the first time I've seen a quoted bluesky post render in the mastodon UI. So that's cool

Viewing longer posts has to come eventually I would think. I imagine it's only a matter of time before someone makes 'bluesky but 500 characters'

Account Data: Bridge Consent · Issue #3522 · bluesky-social/atproto Currently bridging is a somewhat annoying situation, as some people are fine with bridging their accounts wherever, some people want to bridge to places only opted in to and some people don't want ...

I think I've just received my first "AI told me to write this, and it doesn't work" bug report at work today. Unconfirmed, but the logs are filled with emojis and filled with "method does not exist" lines, so I expect that's the case
