Couple things: The first line of your toot becomes the Lemmy post title so keep it short and don’t add any tags (they format weirdly). Also if you tag multiple communities it’ll only post to the first.
Goood morning and happy Wednesday #Fediverse. How has everyone’s week been so far?
Let’s kick off today with our #KoffeeWithKyle chat and discuss what our plans are for today. Anything exciting or just the usual?
For me, I’m currently sitting at a local coffee shop waiting for a client’s office to open so I can make a quick service call. Then it’s off to the office for the usual. Later will be just relaxing.
There’s a major convergence of OAuth/OIDC support across #fediverse applications, #Matrix is going all-in on it as its root default, and other social web protocols are tagging along as well.
Like the separation of church and state, it seems prudent to keep the management of our digital identities separate from our social network servers.
Domain-based OIDC accounts, especially when self-hosted, serve the function of a minimum-viable #nomadicidentity
I use Mastodon all the time so I’m happy to pay for Ivory, however my wife only uses it occasionally so it’s not worth it for them. So my question dear #Fediverse, what is the best free client for Mastodon on iPhone?
Youtube is full of breathless "science" reporting videos that are full of mostly nonsense, especially when anything remotely related to quantum physics is involved. They give questionable and misleading (if not outright fallacious) descriptions of physics and then uncritically accept the findings and most sensational interpretations of freshly published research papers that haven't been fully vetted or even reproduced by the greater science community. #science#QuantumPhysics
I'd wager you'll find that's the case with anything you're an expert in.
Some topics (like QM) more so than others, because they have a certain coolness factor for the uninitiated.
For me it's Aerodynamics. So much so that my first year lecture includes an implicit warning in the induction lecture.
There's a massive catch22 with YouTube: (a) there's a lot of good stuff, and a lot of bad stuff. (b) In order to distinguish between the two, you need to be an expert. So what do you do if you want to use YouTube to learn something new and haven't at least got a good background in balony detection?
I have been seeing lots of talk about #Firefish and the "dumpster fire" that FF social has devolved into. I have a lot of sympathy for the dev team finding as we have here at blahaj.zone that FF/IS doesn't scale well. The devolution has been more public over at FF social cos Fedi's own Guy Kawasaki was hyping it up and was part of the team until it wasn't producing the results he expected and he slinked off. I wonder if the seed funders have done the same. Chris and Kainoa had separate funders, both involved in political tech. I think they were hoping to throw some seed money at something that wouldn't drag the chain like Mastodon development and be the new Twttr for liberal politics to electioneer on. 🤮 Kainoa told me who his funder was and from that point I haven't promoted Calckey/Firefish since.
Gotta love the "but we're the good guys" tech VC people, male, white, older, cishet, been "around" social tech for a while, looking to ride this Fedi thing into "significance"/"success", who found their side project who they fed "advice" to without any real stakes/responsibility. And when Kainoa wasn't the 10x dev they hoped, they've jumped ship, not that they could do any better.
It would be nice for the sake of transparency that there was some kind of repository where such funding was disclosed. Ironic when one of the funders is about protecting democracy. #Fediverse#FediDev#FediDevs
I'm wondering if any of you need a virtual assistant. I'm Lynda from Nigeria, currently unemployed, and thought maybe someone here would be interested in employing me. I have experience working with an online institute as an admission counsellor.
I’m starting to get intrigued by a new category of social media app. The idea is to not only to support fedi platforms with Mastodon compatible APIs, but also additional platform specific features like emoji reacts in Misskey, or even Nostr and Bluesky if you’re into that.
