I have 30-year experience in IT, with over 25 years specifically focused on online experiences. I have spent 5 years in the world of marketing and market research. I founded https://TheOneRing.com. I was recognized by Wired (https://www.wired.com/2001/10/lotr/) and the LA Times. I love working in technology and watch the future unfold; some things I worked on were once science fiction.

TedT, to mastodon

I just found this out. If you want to know if someone on Threads can be followed on Mastodon, you can type the following into the terminal:

curl "https://threads.net/.well-known/webfinger?resource=acct:potus@threads.net"

For the POTUS account on threads.

If you get back a JSON object that doesn't have an error in it, you have someone you can follow.

This means it's fairly easy to write a local script to see who has turned on federation over on Threads.

TedT,

@thurrott My recommendation, don't advertise premium content on Mastodon. It's a good way to get your own account banned on local servers and accounts.

Q: Is it triggering to call Space-?

TedT,

@kierkegaank Space Tolkien is Frank Herbert.

As any #CallOfCthulhu veteran knows, old books you've inherited bring nothing but trouble.
You should keep them under lock and key - or perhaps even burn them, just to be safe.

TedT,

@juergen_hubert @germany @folklore you ever play Kenneth Hite’s Bookhounds of London?

Thinking about the engineer who said they believe interoperability with the social web would just be a cost center and wouldn’t bring any profits. The point is not how interoperability affects the bottom line, the point is that it allows your platform to survive in an ever changing social media landscape and have a bottom line at all. If was part of the social web, they would have had a network of 1.8M active users, not 1,000, and perhaps wouldn’t have had to shut down.

@brennansv @Gargron Tumblr and Wordpress are both owned by Automattic - https://automattic.com

Medieval teachers complaining about their students. "They attend classes but make no effort to learn anything….The expense money which they have from their parents or churches they spend in taverns, conviviality, games and other superfluities, and so they return home empty, without knowledge, conscience, or money." https://www.medievalists.net/2023/09/medieval-teachers-complaining-students/

TedT,

@JenLucPiquant teachers needed to be pithy.

If you cannot stop the wrath of a supernatural spirit, then maybe you can at least redirect it to some people you don't care about as much.

TedT,

@juergen_hubert @luigirenna @germany @folklore that’s interesting in the Swiss folklore I have stumbled thru and upon the wild hunt is Oden’s if it’s any named one who leads it.

To me he sounds scared.

TedT,

@georgetakei the short fingered vulgarian has the skin of gossamer. You can tell he is scared when he starts using names. And you can piss him off by calling him names.

How satisfied are you with the state of the fediverse?

TedT,

@evan things can always be improved. My answer is: More Satisfied then I am with Twitter, Facebook, Threads, and Bluesky. A lot more

S'more thoughts on what Mastodon obscures and reveals, and what that contributes to our problems.

TedT,

@misc this is something to think about. Perhaps groups will solve this, especially if they are exportable/importable.

The thing here is that this idea could be implemented off Mastodon and then integrated with the various import APIs.

Dropped by Bluesky for the first time in a while. I'm a Fediperson but still have sympathy with what they're trying to do, and the tone seems to have stabilized for the moment.

Anyhow, I have 30 invites that I haven't thought about in a while, so, giving them away. Reply to this post if you want one. In case that's more than 30 people I will invent totally arbitrary and questionably fair criteria for handing them out.

Maybe stop if there are already a huge number of replies.

TedT,

@timbray I’d like one. Thanks!!

@davew I thought I'd pass this along. I've always loved your paragraph links / winerlinks. Today I bashed something out to do this in Javascript for my blog thats on GitHub Pages. Anyway, here is the code, if its any use to anyone take it. It's working for what I need it to do. I took some liberties with the design, but its nothing someone with a bit of web knowledge couldn't revert to your design or make their own.

Do you think "mind uploading" will ever be possible?

This is some scenario where a human mind is copied and modeled digitally.

This isn't a ship of Theseus situation where a brain is slowly replaced over time.

TedT,
