i released 2.0.0-7 just in time for the new year.  it includes contributions from @relistan and @rahul, the introduction of CI (the build is successful), and bug fixes.

i am slowly working my way toward more flexibility for reading and managing federated content.

#ktistec (as always, it's pronounced "tiz-tek")

getting starting on my new year's 🥂 resolutions early. added a changelog to ktistec.

the changelog covers changes back to v1.0.0, which was released about this time last year!

#ktistec

i finally set up ci for ktistec. surprisingly, it only uncovered one mysterious build issue...

#ktistec

randomizes order of tests. discovers project for today... mood: 😠

i’m struggling with the twitter “reply thread” style of posting. someone shares/boosts an interesting post and i have to hunt for the server to get the full story. that doesn’t seem very “federated”.

many instances aren’t limited to the expected 140 characters or whatever the cap is these days. in fact activitypub, the specification, doesn’t set a limit on post size at all. longer posts are possible, will travel as a complete thought, and are probably more accessible, generally.

-12°F…. it’s been a while since i’ve experienced that!

since the beginning of the month there are 959 posts in my timeline. of those, 516 were posted and 476 were shared/boosted. the overlap is due to the fact that some posts are from people i follow, and ktistec sees both the activitypub create and a later announce.

so overall, about half of what i see is original content from the people i follow and about half is things they share, which is pretty much what i saw on twitter way back in the day.
