@tchambers@indieweb.social @etp@indieweb.social @BashStKid@mastodon.online It happens randomly. I suspect it’s most likely to happen right after we publish something, because the WordPress server is federated and has to dispatch everything out in the background to like 2,000+ followers.

@etp @tchambers oh no, is the site doing that again? 😅😫 Our WordPress integration has a long-standing content negotiation issue. We’ve never quite cracked it, but if you navigate to the link again, it should render correctly.

@dansup This reminds me of my Diaspora days. Facebook had a policy in place briefly where drag queens were forced to use the names on their drivers’ licenses instead of their stage personas. Although it eventually got reverted, I always thought QueenScene would be a great name for an instance.

@bluetea It’s gotten to a point where I’ve been accused of using it with my own writing, which is incredibly depressing. I’ve made a point for years to do everything by hand, but the writing conventions I’ve used to illustrate my ideas somehow resemble ChatGPT generated text.

@Crazypedia NeoDB would be an interesting basis for this kind of thing, the only element it lacks is sharing a content attachment, like for books or music or movies. But it could definitely support a custom provider for catalog entries, that being the library’s own database.

A lot of what I’m doing for 3D stuff is just straight up Blender plugins. There are many of them! You can do some pretty great stuff! But again, a lot of these are side gig projects or hobby developments. The actual cost of Free Software is patience, and time, and energy learning about how to work with some fiddly piece. There’s a lot of weird, obscure things you have to figure out, that commercial users can just skip entirely.

You might look at the project and say “Okay, it adds federation capabilities to blogs, so what?” but there’s actually loads of interesting stuff under the hood: ActivityPub C2S APIAdapters for many different kinds of content and mediaLots of supported FEP extensions!Support for relays, including tags.pub support!Server-Side Events! And that’s just some of the work that goes into this thing!

The cool thing about online dog groups is that all you do is share pictures of dogs and talk about things you love about your dogs.

The main annoyance here: there’s a vast library of animations that you can use for your 3D models in games, like Mixamo. It’s pretty decent! But the tool I use to make humans doesn’t seem to name bones in a way that’s compatible… 🤔 I could try renaming all of the bones and see if it’ll match up in Godot, but goddamn, is it awful to try to do this in Blender!

@pre@boing.world Thanks! Yeah, this is more or less the direction I’m going in, it’s just super tempting to do the staging and layout stuff in Blender when I’m already trying to figure out the dimensions of rooms and structures. I will try my best to make my 3D objects into native Godot assets.

What’s kind of frustrating is that there aren’t really any #WordPress themes that capitalize on Fediverse integration. I don’t mind adding custom stuff in, but I’m torn between either altering a proprietary theme, or trying to code my own from scratch. Building from scratch means way more work, but it’s theoretically well-supported to do what I want. Altering something that exists means technical debt, on a system that could change at any time. I just don’t know what to do. Do I put all the work up front, or do it over time on the backend?

Hey peeps, sorry for not following up on @spectra@social.wedistribute.org. I know that it’s down, and I probably know what’s causing it again.

I will try to get it back in working order within the next day or so, my health hasn’t been the greatest, and I’ve got a lot going on in my personal life. I’m sorry.

I think the simplest solution might be to use a very simple skeleton theme, and modify it as necessary. I could keep it simple, not depend on too many plugins, and gradually shape it to look and feel the way I want it to… What a headache, though.

Maybe it’s just me, but I’ve always been in favor of the vaguely Satanic Fediverse symbol that kind of looks like a falling star.

The Asterism just doesn’t have the same rebellious juice.

Here’s the thing: Mastodon already has a really good API. There’s a whole ecosystem of clients around it, to the point that many other Fediverse implementations adopted it, so that they can use the apps. I don’t think this is a bad thing in and of itself. But, if we want projects like Mastodon to support it, the value proposition has to provide things that the Mastodon API does not. I think a killer feature to focus on would be identity management.

On its own, this is probably not all that exciting of a concept. Combined with the ability to display ratings and reviews from NeoDB, Inventaire, or Bookwyrm, it could be interesting?

Due to finances, there’s a big chance I might not make it out to #FediCon this year. It’s a bummer, but money is tight and I have to focus on surviving. I still absolutely recommend going, it’s a wonderful event and there’s some great people there.

Bluesky absolutely got it right with ATproto: you can make any kind of client, not just microblogging, and it will seamlessly work with your Bluesky identity. Everything you post goes into your personal storage, and the clients that know how to interpret special data types are able to reach into your PDS and the timelines you’re following to present that stuff. ActivityPub API needs to follow a similar story.

Why do I care so much about this? A few reasons. One, I don’t want to have a dozen different accounts across separate types of applications on the same network. I really hate that, it’s messy and does nothing to unify my identity across all the spaces I’m active on. Two, a seamless login across the entire network could be very powerful for discovery. Instead of having to find people to follow on Pixelfed and PeerTube, the folks I’m already connected to would already be there, right when I sign in. Three, we could develop a new generation of rich clients that all do really different things, but all tie back to a singular identity. “Sign In With ActivityPub” could work for the entire network, and it wouldn’t have to be a hack using Mastodon’s API.

If there’s any #Godot developers out there making 3D games, I could kind of use some help / advice on how to fix this weird issue I’m having.

Camera is basically attached to a SpringArm and mounted on a pivot, the pivot rotation is what’s used for camera rotation. When switching perspectives, a piece of code is supposed to line up the pivot rotation to the player_mesh rotation. Except it seems to be flipped when I face certain directions?!

One thing I really want to figure out for @news involves creating some kind of a widget sidebar that shows the statuses that federate out. While I could show all the widgets of the Note objects we create, it’s not super clear yet how we can show stuff like boosts and quotes yet. But I’m thinking about it, a lot. Any suggestions @pfefferle ?

I ask because I’m leaning towards “doing it piecemeal”, but it feels like a far longer and more tedious approach to composition. But also, trying to design buildings and interiors still has a bunch of open questions at this point. Trying to figure out how to design a 3D house in Blender is hilariously painful.

Once again, I humbly come to you to ask: do you know of any bloggers that write regularly about the #Fediverse, #ActivityPub, #ATproto, or anything of that nature?

As the network grows, it feels like it’s harder and harder to find individual voices and perspectives. If you’re writing stuff about the network, its evolution, the culture, and the people on it, I’m interested in following you.

The short end of this is the question: does it make sense to use a Blender plugin for architecture (3D interior renders for houses) as a level-design tool? I’m inclined to say “Kind of!”. It works better than expected. Obviously, I need to follow some actual floor plans to make this work. The biggest stumbling block is working the kinks out of the asset pipeline.

It’s weirdly difficult to search for biblical Renaissance paintings. So many of the results are either behind a stock art paywall, or just straight up AI slop.

The only reason I’m bringing this up is because @tchambers@indieweb.social and I are collaborating on a We Distribute article following up on The 7 Deadly UX Sins. The hardest part has involved scouring public domain repositories for media that I can use!

Every now and then, I get accused of using AI in my writing. It’s weird, because I go through great pains to write and compose everything the old-fashioned way? Any time I write an article, there’s a huge amount of research that goes into it.

The best that I can figure is that my particular writing style (news, technical articles) has been slurped up by AI and the patterns have been broadly replicated? Alternatively, maybe my writing style is informed by details that are now unpopular due to AI.
