@atomicpoet The entire Fediverse will become a single business or businesses will arise as part of the Fediverse ecosystem?

Today I had another play with the #MastodonAPI:
My @Raspberry_Pi Zero W is connected to a #Pimoroni Inky Developer E Ink display.
A #Python script then grabs the latest media posts either from my own, or from the public timeline.
The image is then displayed inside the TV, while its ALT description is scaled in size to be shown inside the speech bubble.
The buttons allow to navigate between posts and media attachments.
@upol I also vote for Fedilab.
Fedified is a scam, right? Smells like one.

If you’re wondering how much it costs to host a mastodon server:
$6 per month for ~5 users
$18 per month for ~100 users
$89 per month for ~2000 users
It’s cheaper to host your own personal server, which essentially guarantees verification, than it is to get “verified” on the bird site
@anildash So good!! I hope the season 1 ending is good too. (Not a terrible cliffhanger like House of Dragons.) I feel like I want to binge the whole thing in a 2nd viewing after the 12th episode is released.
@dansup Double nice! :)
@dansup Nice! Are you using the prefers-color-scheme media query or a user preference switch?

If you download your Twitter archive it arrives wrapped as a static HTML page, which is not very useful for doing anything with, and worse: it requires the original account to be still active to do useful things like enlarge the images since they use t.co links.
So here's a Python script to convert a Twitter archive to markdown or other formats: https://github.com/timhutton/twitter-archive-parser
Now you can archive your tweets in any way you want.
@atomicpoet @reiver Looking forward to seeing what the different use case is. Short temporary videos like stories that followers get links to? That could be good. I guess I'll see when you're ready.

Important tusk news of a different variety: the oldest sentence in alphabetical writing has been discovered on a 3700 y.o. ivory comb, an invocation against lice! From the New York Times. #archaeology #writing #histodons #history

It took me less than 25 minutes to set up a fake anonymous Apple ID using a VPN and disposable email, attach a masked debit card to it (with the address being Twitter's HQ), and get a verified account for a prominent figure. Just think what a nation-state or bad actor could do...
@jperlow You exist on other websites though. You can put the link on your ZDnet profile: https://www.zdnet.com/meet-the-team/jason-perlow/ That’s way more trustworthy!
@jperlow You can/should just verify yourself on a real website you own. Being on somebody else's list doesn't seem as trust worthy as you verifying yourself.
@vkc You're not posting any 4K videos here? :)
Is anyone making a TikTok or Snapchat style #Fediverse instance platform?

Now @Raspberry_Pi has its own @Mastodon instance, and because we’re committed to supporting platforms that support us, we’re putting our money where our mouth is. We have become a platinum sponsor of #Mastodon. In case you don't know Mastodon is a non-profit corporation based in Germany supported by both its sponsors and patreons. #TwitterMigration https://joinmastodon.org/sponsors
