Wow this sucks so bad. a person posted on /r/datahoarder that they have created an archive of the Epstein files with added metadata like mentioned people and etc. But everything is LLM-generated.... Including the "full text" of the documents. Rather than OCRing them, they were fed to chatGPT with a system prompt that told it that it was an expert at OCR. image
Alright it's late and i need to go to bed, but here's a draft FEP to do full account migration with posts and whatever other kinda objects you want to bring with you. It's a trivial expansion of existing ActivityPub/streams systems and supports gradual migration as it's implemented and after an account migration. It should be possible to migrate pretty much everything this way, both private and public objects. criticism, feedback, revisions, etc. welcome - i don't think this is a "final version" and there are certainly things i overlooked. ๐Ÿ“ƒ.md #MoveAllPosts #FediDev #FEP #FEP_1580 #FullMigration #AccountMigration
since the masto dev team is shipping highly-requested features lately... image
Etymonline is one of the most underappreciated sole-curator resources on the internet. Its not made by a company, just a very wonderfully lyrical person who does it as a labor of love.
I pingpong back and forth between "why do I spend so much time working on and thinking about social media and digital communication, its just posting" vs. "commercial social media is a global scale informational weapon, the primary means of oligarchic control, radicalizing entire generations towards the far right, potentially dooming us as a species by neutralizing any effective front against climate change, poverty, and industrial-colonial extraction" and then right back to "Just me and my friends silly little posties"
im gona write me a FEP about moving post collections and it will be the shortest FEP ever written*. "Just use a Collection of Move objects" this just isn't complicated enough to be as big of a problem as it is *(but actually be a real FEP with the proper considerations and whatnot)
