@RL_Dane @feditips I suppose it means that server admins can import server blacklists instead of adding them entry-by-entry.

@servant I wish we could trust it. Imagine a world where you could "follow your heart" and arrive at a destination it tantalizingly gives you hope in, rather than arriving at dispair.

@aral I always take screenshots of my software's first moments :)

If you want to transfer your account from one Mastodon server to another, here's a step-by-step guide all about how to do it:

It's a bit longer than some guides as it includes transferring followers, follows and mutes/blocks/bookmarks.

No, Ethan, you don't have that much time to complete said task

Today we've released a new update to our iOS app! It brings an improved sign-up flow, home screen widgets, and many accessibility improvements.

On Monday, we shared about two other efforts. One is Bard, an experimental conversational AI service that is separate from Google Search. We’re excited Bard is in a trusted tester phase that will help us continue to learn & improve its quality and speed… #Google #Search #AI #Bard blog.google/technology/ai/bard

@searchliaison This could really change what it means to search the web — I just hope that more than one search engine gets technology like this, to help diversify perspectives and keep accountability as a factor.

A server's Local timeline shows all the public posts by people on that server.

You can browse other servers' Local timelines by going to their websites and clicking on "Local". You don't need to log in or be a member because these are all public posts.

Some apps also let you follow other servers' Local timelines, such as Ice Cubes for iPhone/iPad or Fedilab for Android.

If you're comfortable using Github, you can vote for following Local to be added to core Mastodon at github.com/mastodon/mastodon/i

Are you trying to find your contacts from Twitter on Mastodon?

There are online tools which can help with this, however Twitter is apparently going to shut them down by Thursday 9th February.

If you want to use these, now would seem to be your last chance:

🐦 Debirdify
pruvisto.org/debirdify

🔍 Fedifinder
fedifinder.glitch.me

A third tool, Movetodon, has already been shut down by Twitter.

P.S., when I said that the instructions acted a bit like they knew more than the developers, I didn't mean that they were intending to. I just thought their approach didn't really take into account the intention of the developers.
That said, I recognize that amiibo trainers have spent much, much, much more time than the short amount of time I spent training mine.

More notes:
• It beat an Incineroar FP, known as the best FP, so it may have needed some work.
• My FP was imported from Smash 4.

Show thread

• Ultimate uses 540 bytes of data in the amiibo for the FP. That's very, very small!

Also, I wonder if I can change its "personality"/playstyle without adjusting the move sliders by fighting it with a character that doesn't have any of its moves?

Show thread

Some notes:
• I don't know how to use neutral-special (Needle Storm) very well, and it seemed to be reflected in my FP's behavior.
• I tried to prioritize up-special (Vanish)
• I didn't use side-special (Burst Grenade) much. I'm guessing Nintendo might have sliders for competence as well as "frequency" of moves, which might explain why it isn't very good at burst grenade (and needle storm) when it does decide to use it.
• It got the "Realistic" personality type, fun.

I wanted to have all the sliders up, so the AI could choose what was appropriate, and use its full moveset, but with some sliders turned up extra as I judged. I avoided "spamming" any moves, and tried to use prioritize moves I thought it would be better at.
I'm glad to say that my FP turned out pretty well, even behaving better than I thought was possible, for a Sheik amiibo. Heh, or maybe I just lucked out, and my theorizing was irrelevant. I didn't even spend a lot of time training it.
[3/3]
