Quickly mentioning the Quoted Posts issue in Ecko.

The link I mention is just https://github.com/magicstone-dev/ecko/issues/477

Here's a quick video about Fediverse Enhancement Proposals.

If you're not familiar with this fediverse-native standards process then hopefully this clarifies some things.

I asked ChatGPT about going inside vs the drive thru but it went above and beyond.

Another video journal, this time talking about starting to write daily and how its been beneficial.

Casually talking to a camera about #Fediverse, #Mastodon and #C4.

Apparently artists are fighting back against generative AI by posting protest images where they'll be scooped up as source material.

Ecko is a fork of Mastodon with extra features requested by the community.

How does it compare?

There doesn't seem to be a good system-level diagram that captures what we know about the human mind. Based on reading, listening to podcasts and some meditation this is my attempt. My goal is to determine where is tech weakest? Has anyone attempted to build a complete prototype?

Another attempt to do the fediverse unfortunately decorated with buzzwords. I'm all for initiative, but no mention of ActivityPub or Mastodon? Why go it alone when there's this community that seems to have a common interest in decentralized social networking?

Been writing a lot more recently and it's just good. One trick to try is stream-of-consciousness, not stopping or going back to edit. I found myself still using backspace and stopping so made this single pager to help turn it into an exercise.

Ecko now has themes that help improve accessibility in a very simple way. If a toot has media with no caption, it gets a red border as shown/described in the attached images.

These new themes are now live on https://c4.social. Admins of the adventurous sort can add to their Mastodon instance with the changes shown in https://github.com/magicstone-dev/ecko/pull/392/files

Thanks to @blindscribe for raising the issue and providing the CSS tweaks!

One of the things I love about buying used #books over the internet is the assortment of notes and cards that are sometimes included.

This one feels like one of those little objects that could be the center of its own story.

You want themes? We got themes. 😂

Having trouble currently with the latest Ecko docker builds but this is on https://ecko.magicstone.dev which is managed via YunoHost.

Early Christmas present... An open source smart watch! Hope I find the time to get it running. Had hopes of recording voice memos on the go in luxurious software freedom. :fire:

Ecko is now available for installation in #YunoHost. If you'd like to try #Ecko in an easy, low-risk, self-hosted way, this is it.

Please report any issues at https://github.com/YunoHost-Apps/ecko_ynh/issues and have a nice day.

Thanks to @PaulaToThePeople for raising this idea, to #glitch-soc for having a working ynh package to mod and to #Mastodon for making this quest for better social networking possible.

Isn't it funny how often things that should be simple can get flipped and become anything but?

Here we have a simple faucet with hot and cold water, but in the common case that it takes a while for hot water to appear, one wonders which way for cold?

Is it up because the handle should go in the direction of the blue dot or down so that the blue dot is brought into some position relative to the base?

Two books for the C4Social library!

My daughter has been doing portraits and sketches since she was old enough to hold a colored pencil. She just sent me this for the C4Social project so... meet Charles, our new mascot/logo/protocol robot. 😍
