Hey fediverse, I made a fediverse sharing button you can add to your website or a blog!

https://stefanbohacek.com/project/fediverse-sharing-button/

#fediverse #FediverseSharingButton #webdev #WebDesign #websites #SocialMedia

A short recording of me using the fediverse sharing button, filling out various fediverse domain names, showing how the icon changes to match the software running on each server. The interface itself consists of an input field for the domain name and a share button preceded by an icon. An "https" placeholder text is before the input field to signal that this part of the URL is not needed.

I just added notes on Hubzilla to https://stefanbohacek.com/blog/making-fediverse-apps-for-everyone/.

Huge thanks to @jupiter_rowland for providing some points!

Anything else I'm missing here, particularly:

• OAuth scopes
• sharing via URL
• embedding posts
• RSS feeds

Over the weekend I've updated my award-winning (no joke!) Creative Bots @glitchdotcom starter project to focus on Mastodon bots.

Visit https://botwiki.org/bots/fediverse-bots/ for some inspiration, and then give it a try!

Happy #WorldBicycleDay!

"The [2018 United Nations General Assembly] resolution for World Bicycle Day recognizes "the uniqueness, longevity and versatility of the bicycle, which has been in use for two centuries, and that it is a simple, affordable, reliable, clean and environmentally fit sustainable means of transport.""

Hey fediverse, just a reminder that I made a few dozen automated accounts that post anything from locations of libraries and parks around the world, live views from NYC, the ISS, or under the sea, book dedications, emoji polls, and lots and lots more.

Have a look, there's something for everyone!

@goodbye @MennoOng Perhaps this is from a book or an essay that hasn't been translated to English?

Finally had a proper look at @eleventy.

I really like that it can be as simple or as complex as you want it to be.

I'm not quite sold on it for hosting blogs (yet), but I've migrated a few of my smaller projects for which I've used a simple node app (mainly to take advantage of templating).

Huge improvement in memory consumption! For example, https://simplepagebuilder.app went from 67.89MB down to just 6.07MB.

Nice!

It was 13 years ago when I registered fourtonfish.com, which I've used as my internet home for the following 11 years, before switching to stefanbohacek.com.

How did you pick the domain name for your personal website?

Good news for folks who enjoy AI embarrassing itself with nonsensical answers!

"Well, according to an interview at The Verge with Google CEO Sundar Pichai published earlier this week, just before criticism of the outputs really took off, these "hallucinations" are an "inherent feature" of AI large language models (LLM), which is what drives AI Overviews, and this feature "is still an unsolved problem.""

#TIL about "storm glasses".

"if fixed, undisturbed, in free air, not exposed to radiation, fire, or sun, but in the ordinary light of a well-ventilated room or outer air, the chemical mixture in a so-called storm-glass varies in character with the direction of the wind [...]"

#TIL that in 1929, JM Barrie, the author of Peter Pan, gifted his work's copyright to the Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children.

"Through this gift, Peter Pan’s magic made an unprecedented leap from the realm of fiction into reality and the hospital began to receive royalties every time a production of the play was on, as well as from the sale of Peter Pan books and other products."

I've recently created a new page for all of my #FediverseExplorations with articles and data visualizations I wrote: https://stefanbohacek.com/category/fediverse-explorations/

Anyone else doing similar work? This could even be a blog, perhaps.

So this makes sense, and many of you will probably know this, but #TIL that the "print screen" button on our keyboards used to print the actual screen.

"In essence, whatever is currently on the screen when the key is pressed will be printed."

"Microsoft Paint is getting new image generation powers with a new tool called Cocreator. [...] Cocreator can generate images based on text prompts as well as your own doodles in the Paint app."

The way tech companies push "AI", I don't know. I was hoping this is just another tech hype that I can wait out, like with Bitcoin and Metaverse, but there just seems no end in sight this time.

I'm looking at tools for adding "share on Mastodon/in the fediverse" functionality to websites and blogs.

Here's a list: https://github.com/stefanbohacek/fediverse-share-button/#q-are-there-any-similar-projects

Anything I'm missing that people have been using?

stefan, 20 days ago to fediverse

What is a fediverse-neutral word for "subtweet"? People here use "subtoot", but that's based on Mastodon's "toot", which is no longer officially used.

"Subpost" doesn't sound quite right. But I guess that's it?

Hey everyone! I recently posted about my latest project, a universal fediverse sharing button: https://stefanbohacek.com/project/fediverse-sharing-button/

Is this something that you'd find useful for your website or blog?

EDIT: Thanks everyone for sharing and trying this out! I fixed an issue on iOS some of you might have run into, just FYI.

I've been really enjoying working with Wikidata lately, setting up automated accounts like @libraries, @parks, and @lighthouses.

To see what else you can do with Wikidata, and to learn how to use it, check out a tutorial I put together: https://stefanbohacek.com/blog/making-a-map-of-unesco-world-heritage-sites/
