I have been obsessing over Stable Diffusion over the last few weeks, and I wanted to to a quick thread of my best results so far 👇

The thing about music made between 1950-2000 is that it offended parents.
Parents were outraged by Elvis Presley, The Beatles, AC/DC, Eminem.
I'm a parent now. Rather than being offended by new music, I'm offended it doesn't offend me.
@atomicpoet the EU actually has its own instance already @EU_Commission

I have been using #kdenlive for all my video editing since 2020. Every single one of my lectures went through kdenlive. It is of great value to me.
They are currently running a fundraiser. Of course I donated. You might consider donating, too!
If you do not know kdenlive: check it out, it works great!
@atomicpoet @maddiefuzz I saw a blog post recently by a guy who did something similar with his shoe https://incoherency.co.uk/blog/stories/sockfish.html

OK it is really late here, but today's reveal of the first JWST image of the galaxy cluster SMACS-0723 was amazing, and I am still digesting it. There is so much stuff going on, it is absolutely breathtaking!
Just to get an idea of what an improvement this is over Hubble, over at The Robot Report, they show this beautiful side-by-side view of the previous best image taken with Hubble, and tonight's result. It's wild.
@atomicpoet mind sharing strategies? I’m curious
Doing my first real contribution to the #fediverse, with a PR to @BirdsiteLIVE https://github.com/NicolasConstant/BirdsiteLive/pull/153
@joao @BirdsiteLIVE also do you know if there is going to be an update to the version of mastodon Librem Social uses? There are federation problems with birdsite that are fixed in newer versions

EU: All messenger services should be required to interoperate.
Also EU: We will fund opensource software, like e.g. messenger clients.
Also EU: All messengers are now required to scan messages for unwanted content locally, before encryption, and notify the gooberment of such communicaton.
Do they even realize that they literally have to make FOSS illegal if they want people to not be able to choose clients that don't spy on them (regardless of message transport)? The answer, of course, is no.

@dansup Please do! I'm playing with ActivityPub these days myself, and we need more deep dives into it
When you tinker with an ActivityPub project, what do you use to mock/simulate/check interaction correctness with another instance?
@BirdsiteLIVE The rest is probably going to be a good weekend project.
What do you use to debug an activitypub server? I was thinking of interacting with it through this instance, but there is surely a better way
@BirdsiteLIVE Not clear, but it seem I can apply again.
I started playing with the code a bit https://github.com/cloutier/BirdsiteLive/commits/api-v2 . I'm at a point where I can get account data correctly. Only the banner is missing, but that was deprecated already.
I have the endpoints for timelines and tweets, and I'm probably going to spin up a server to make all of that work. There is still a lot of work there to parse everything correctly
@joao @BirdsiteLIVE Thanks! It's an interesting suggestion but it's not quite what I'm looking for. I really want something that imports tweets into the fediverse, so that I can only use and improve that ecosystem
@BirdsiteLIVE I did apply and got rejected...
That got me looking into V2 and if I could port Birdsite to it. There is an endpoint to get a user timeline. Is there other calls that are not there in v2 that blocks a port?
Also TweetinviAPI supports some calls in V2 but not user timeline. I can look into another library or doing something vanilla with HttpClient.
Should be only a few 100s lines of code change overall
