The weird implementation of HTTP signatures seems to have been a bug in Threads. It is now fixed and the signatures work as expected. I updated the blog post accordingly.

Looks like the #threadiverse has been widely used by the #Lemmy and #Kbin communities for years, but now it's slowly being co-opted (including by #Meta staff) to refer to the #federation of #Threads.

I predict a complete takeover of the #hashtag, and term in general, before the end of 2024.

If you know anybody that needs organic, free-range writing, design, or development work with a dollop of devops, please give me a shout!

I’ve worked on a weird range of projects and especially like helping small organizations, schools, and people-centric businesses manage content and information.

It'll be interesting to watch the shift in #fediverse rhetoric go from " #Meta is just trying to comply with EU regulations" to "regulatory capture is a good thing actually, and we've wanted Meta to become a compliance server the whole time."

Not super duper in love with the idea of forcing small businesses to buy big tech services under the guise of safety. Am in love with regulation that actually protects users and their data though.

I think the basic technical problem with LLMs is that contrary to what people (including tech bros) think, the more processing power and the more source data gets thrown at them, they won't get better and more intelligent.

They will just deliver ever more average results quicker.
