I’ve been developing something called the Human-Made License, a Creative Commons–style way to certify that creative work was made without genAI. I’m looking for feedback from artists, designers, and writers before the public launch. DM me if you’d like to take a look at the first draft.

Looks delicious!

Ok this peacock was amusing at first, but now WTF am I supposed to do, seriously? It's still hanging out at our front and back door, staring into my soul, eating our plants. I think it wants us to feed it? But I have no desire to have a pet peacock. Yes […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

As I was cleaning up my GitHub repos and migrating what I can to Codeberg, I ran across this long forgotten gem - a colleciton of U.S. state information - flags, photos, seals, twitter and facebook accounts, all kinds of things. Sadly it was abandoned 8 years ago, but much of the content is […]

RE: https://fietkau.software/daily_rucks/ap/activity/2025-11-08 I have added Mastodon-style (FEP-044f) quote post compatibility to my @DailyRucks bot. You can now quote post the daily voice lines as much as you want! 🥳 This would be noteworthy on its own if there weren't already a bunch of […]

I love how violently red the leaves are right now, and how green the moss #Mosstodon #leaves #photography #rocks

Three years ago, I decided to quit Twitter and install a Mastodon server to see if it can replace it for me. It worked better than expected and I discoered so many new amazing people along the way. I would also never have imagined that I could end up recruiting and leading the team building it! […]

What’s in those nightly builds anyway?! #mastodon

RE: https://mastodon.social/@cheeaun/115230439826570897 For devs implementing Quote Posts, I've compiled my own doc here, probably useful https://github.com/cheeaun/phanpy/discussions/1294 #phanpysocial should cover most features, maybe just 95% of them(?) 🤞 Unlike the official site […]

Moving what I can to Codeberg from GitHub, especially my fediverse related items. It's a bummer that Netlify and Cloudflare Pages don't offer connections to Codeberg. I see there is Codeberg Pages I could use for these instead.

Welp. Here I am at the Denver airport, praying to any saint, god or demon that I can get home. Already an hour delay, but not cancelled yet…

SFSCon is starting. Our Fediverse track is this afternoon. Looking forward to it, making new friends and moving the open social web and the Fediverse forward! Thanks #sfscon for the FediForum shout-out to #fediforum during the opening!

So, if you're working as a consultant and need to setup something like Microsoft Bookings (which I had at my previous employer), what are the best options? Free it good, reliability is more important. #askfedi #consulting

Updated my test mastodon instance to 4.5 RC2, all from a remote cabin in the woods using Tailscale to connect to my little mini pc's at home. I see mastodon.social is already at a 4.6 nightly - they are so ready to get 4.5 out the door! :) #mastodon #homelab

Mastodon’s latest software update brings quote posts to all server operators https://techcrunch.com/2025/11/06/mastodons-latest-software-update-brings-quote-posts-to-all-server-operators/

@[email protected] If I'm correct, this is the logic that @[email protected] put in place. Congrats on all of his hard work! Unless I am mistaken, this works by crawling the `replies` collection recursively. I am hoping that the resolvable context approach will accomplish this more […]

RE: https://mastodon.social/@Mastodon/115503024028215175 This specific new feature in Mastodon 4.5 - reply fetching - makes a huge difference in small communities. When you open the detail view of a message, it triggers a task to pull in all replies it can from remote servers, and displays […]

My test instance has been updated to the just released 4.5 Mastodon, along with the 2.5 release of the TangerineUI theme. The changelog for this one is a full on novel. Kudos to every single contributor and the mastodon team as a whole for their work. And @nileane for TangerineUI :) […]

A new app called DJ BeeBot from the creator of Foursquare. It’s social and location based, but in a new way. When you use your headphones, it grabs your location and a dj ai voice tells you what’s happening nearby. “… a personalized radio DJ — an AI that pipes up a few times a day to give you a […]

We visit Colorado every year, tho mostly in the summer. We are here a bit late and there are very few chipmunks around. Where did they go? Turns out, eastern chipmunks enter a torpor state, similar to hibernation. I feel my own torpor coming on. > …periods of deep sleep, called torpor. During […]

My husband is a sports fan and I am the exact opposite. Somehow it works. Anyway, I often find myself running the tech for him - finding a game he needs streamed to the tv or what not. I am AMAZED at the amount of technology that goes into these games. Good […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

After a while, I really like this experiment. Feels like there's more time awareness in prolonged threads.

“Choosing a mastodon instance is too complicated for regular people.” Meanwhile, downloading ICQ or a toaster screensaver took a three page questionnaire back in 1998.
