Hello @fosstodon admins again, still happening, image previews not available for this activity pub instance. #fosstodon

Ah, this is cool in #KDE #plasma

https://github.com/nekromoff/bicycle-master-plan now includes fully working turn by turn navigation with chimes and speech instructions! I have never thought I would be able to program navigation. Junior LLM to the help under senior supervision.

Install easily for any city.

Hello #activitypub people - question: Why does Mastodon selectively show only some tags under image while there are many tags in the post itself?

Post to investigate:

Creating an AI slop prototype? Quick. Couple of minutes to a couple of hours.

Turning that AI slop into a top-notch usable app without bugs? Slow. Hours to tens of hours of work.

I have migrated my ActivityPub and Mastodon-compatible bots to use a queue and parallel workers. Synchronized requests were taking too long for many bots with many followers.

Upgrade now if you use my bot software:

Better results on higher zooms and close ups.

As you can see, you have to change the square size on large zoom outs, so it can identify well and work its magic.

Now you have unlimited possibilities. Before it would be lots of manual work (clicking and painting) to create large maps like this:

I have updated my Arrogance of Space tool to use data from OpenStreetMap, so you don't have to do the work! It now works on its own to prefill squares with colors. Welcome to 2026!

#ActivityPub question - is it OK to run pruning of dead inboxes (target nodes for delivery) after grace period of e.g. 7 days when transport failures occur repeatedly (timeout, SSL, DNS, redirect loop, unresolvable host), 400, 404, 410, all 5xx)?

Some people mention that using LLMs leads to deskilling, i.e. you become dumber.

That might be true for some. But I have gained skills working with programming languages I didn't use to work with - like creating a mail client in C++ (and QML) or reporting tool in Typescript and Node.js. I have learned to work with Vite and NPM/NPX. I am still sceptical, when it comes to people saying this will replace programmers.

Longer blog post needed.

If you use my software to run some bots, let me know by tagging me here or via those bots! Let me know, so I can boost your bot posts.

Activity Pub bot instance (Mastodon-compatible) is now in v1.2. Mostly security hardening, some bug fixes + tests and Docker + nginx to deploy along previously available Apache.

Want to run your own bots in Fediverse? This is your quick & easy way to launch.

Another Mastodon weirdness: somebody responded to one of my posts, but it didn't show up in my notifications.

I had to go to my original post and check the responses to see it?!

#mastodon #mastoadmin #mastolivre #fediverse #usability #federation #bug #error #fail #ux #activitypub #notifications

My pet peeve? Documentation / knowledge base websites! These almost never allow you to click though to the main website via a logo (header). Such a small thing, yet such a grand fail of #UI / #UX! Yet, #Nextcloud and plenty of others are totally fine with it.

New release of Mastodon Bots (ActivityPub Mastodon-copmpatible bot instance that is probably the quickest to spin up a new Fediverse content bot under 20 seconds):
