Monthly Self-Promotion thread (September 2023)
  • I launched a big 2.0 update to my album-focused music player Longplay just yesterday. I wrote an announcement post and there's also a detailed overview on MacStories. Feedback and questions are very welcome!

  • Microsoft shuts down Cortana, Apple should do the same with Siri
  • The title of the article doesn't really match the content, which doesn't suggest to fully nuke Siri but rather to abandon the current underlying technology for something that's using generative AI (like ChatGPT). That's a reasonable suggestion and most likely Apple is already working on this.

  • Elon Musk’s new AI company is staffed entirely by men
  • Maybe this says more about women than Elon Musk? Given a choice many women might not want to work for him...

  • Federation Lag-o-meter
  • Aye aye. I'm mildly excited.

  • Federation Lag-o-meter
  • This looks great. Is there any chance that this could be extended to include Kbin as well, since those instances federated with Lemmy, too?

  • /kbin Translations
  • You need a Codeberg account and can then translate right on https://translate.codeberg.org/projects/kbin/kbin/.

    However, Romanian hasn't yet been added as a language to translate, too, and the "Start new translation" button is disabled. Maybe @ernest first needs to either add that language manually or can enable that button for everyone.

  • A small FAQ to hopefully help new users to kbin (updated June 11 17:00 GMT)
  • Thanks for the write-up. I've been using Mastodon quite a bit the last few months, and I'm curious about how kbin interoperates with that with from a user perspective.

    What happens if you you follow a kbin user from Mastodon? Do you see just their "posts" or also their replies to threads? Do you see when they post an article? Can a kbin user follow a Mastodon user?

    How do hashtags interact between the two systems?

    What happens if you follow a kbin magazine from Mastodon? I noticed that they appear with a "Group" tag on Mastodon if searching for that "user".

    (Edit: I could navigate to this post from Mastodon and reply to it, but it didn't show up here yet. But maybe that's due to the temporarily broken federation.)
