# 00:09 aaronpk well i was able to move my twitter app into the new v2 project so maybe i won't lose my POSSE access?
# 00:09 aaronpk but i won't be able to expand reply contexts anymore since that's not part of the free tier
# 00:20 [tantek] how is Loqi getting tweet content for inclusion in chat and adding to pages with < < ?
# 00:24 aaronpk will stop working on apr 29 if not disabled sooner
# 00:40 [snarfed] aaronpk yeah those endpoints in the free Twitter API tier were in the earlier announcement
# 00:41 [snarfed] Interesting, did silo.pub break because v2 project apps don't support 1.1?
# 00:41 aaronpk v2 project apps do support 1.1, but I tried to switch the credentials silo.pub is using and then doing the oauth flow was failing
# 00:42 aaronpk i tried switching it back, and the oauth flow is still failing
# 00:43 aaronpk ok it still works, must have held on to the old tokens
# 00:43 aaronpk i'm just not going to touch anything until someone else breaks it

# 11:19 [KevinMarks] The weird part here is that the author kept saying lat, long and GPT ignored that and used long, lat which matched the data.
# 11:21 [KevinMarks] Seems like pure luck that they didn't get all the points plotted in Antarctica

# 14:28 aaronpk i don't know why this particular change is better than the old method but i'm sure someone had a reason

# 15:12 [snarfed] follow pfrazee and whyrusleeping and other bluesky team members, join the matrix chat, they were talking about it a bit beforehand
# 15:13 [snarfed] ^ matrix chat. I'm in it, I've been trying to find the address or whatever to post here, but I literally can't find it

# 15:54 [manton] I still think it’s time for Bluesky to ship to everyone. Or at least have a public roadmap so we know what to expect and when.
# 16:15 [snarfed] I'm glad they're going slow. the product is the protocol as much as - probably more than - the social app, and it's hard to change a protocol once there's a lot of usage, so this is the time to try hard to get that right
# 16:30 [manton] That’s true, but if it takes too long, it won’t matter how good the protocol is because everyone will have moved on. Finding the right balance is hard.
# 16:31 [snarfed] maybe. but we've seen that nothing lasts forever, and there's no single point in time for early mover advantage. MySpace => FB => IG => TikTok, etc
# 16:32 [manton] I think the most compelling thing about Bluesky right now is their approach to identity. I hope that that can influence the direction of ActivityPub.
# 16:32 [manton] Secondary is having a more open client/server API, compared to Mastodon’s API.
# 16:38 [snarfed] yeah, first class support for both migration (data ownership) and "big world" indexing are key differentiators
# 16:40 [snarfed] just actual defined support for centralized data processing of any form, as opposed to nothing in AP and hostility culturally
# 16:44 capjamesg In theory can I use the Bluesky client with my own server?
# 16:44 capjamesg Then apply algorithmic ranking to what it returns for my timeline?
# 16:44 capjamesg (i.e. filter out all Blueskys(?!) that contain the word "crypto")
# 16:44 [snarfed] They're specifically planning for pluggable ranking algorithms
# 16:46 capjamesg > We’re developing a feed selection system that enables users to explore third-party feeds and access them as effortlessly as their home timeline.
# 16:48 [snarfed] At least for the "your own server" part. federation is still in progress, hasn't stabilized yet, no docs
