#StarWars Ascendancy. Explore the Chiss post- #Thrawn. It's basically #GameOfThrones in space!
All the family rivalry and politics and jockeying for power is there. As is the background threat (white walkers / Grisks), those guarding against it while the families fight (Night's Watch / Expansionary Defence Fleet), the chosen one with the mystic powers of seeing into the past / future (Bran / Cheery), seven kingdoms / six star systems...
You are also free from most of the established Star Wars canon, being in the unknown regions (aka The Chaos).
It writes itself!

🙈 Why do some sites support a dark theme, but still default to light regardless of user preferences?
There's even an option for "system default", but that's not your default? Wtf?

⌨️ I think my next hyperfocus is going to be building a multiplatform status.log equivalent.
I have a desire to try and build a #MAUI #Blazor hybrid app, and working with the #omg.lol API seems pretty fun. Plus, I'm a bit jealous that the current app is apple-only
I couldn't see any docs on the #some.pics API, and I'll have to figure out the OAuth flow, but surely it shouldn't be hard?
🗣️ It's not static, but I've added JavaScript to load replies to my weblog.lol posts (the ones that are linked to a friendica post, anyway). So you can visit the the weblog and see the conversation as a comments thread, then link off to interact with the conversation on your own instance (if you "log in" first).
I really should do a full write-up of what I've done with my site so far... Maybe after I commit to putting it on my main domain.
I'm quite proud of it, but I still can't help wondering what I want to add to it next.
🗂️ A new version of #Wavebox has afforded me the incentive to reorganise all my apps/tabs.
In doing so, I realised something: apart from numbering, it's organised like a #JohnnyDecimal system!
I've got Spaces for Areas, Groups for Categories and "Apps" and/or pinned tabs as individual ID points. All other tabs are temporary and will be trashed when I close the browser.
If you design a system such that you cannot differentiate people from corporations and bots and that’s your defense for calling all of them “users”, you’ve designed a system that conflates people – who are mortal, have feelings, can feel pain and be hurt and who have human rights that must be protected – with the very entities that oftentimes exist to exploit them.
Design for people. Call them people. All else is secondary.
This is an oldie, but I still like it
"If someone needs to be told to think and work in a human centered way when they are designing something, it should be a clear indication of how separated the discipline of design has become from what it is the design is being applied to."

💬 Sometimes I just can't help myself. My deathau.weblog.lol site now has a fediverse "login" — you enter fediverse handle and it will look up your avatar and subscribe link via webfinger, saving those to local storage.
Then, it replaces all the links to my friendica instance with links to that same post in your instance (as per the subscribe link).
I just need to figure out how to get the reply/reblog/like counts of my posts in there, too.
Get replies/reblogs/favourites count via uri
!Friendica Support
If I have the URI of a post (e.g. https://monrepos.casa/objects/0e03068e-3466-3cb4-8207-08c267219144) and retrieve it via a JSON API call, I get the ActivityPub representation of that post. This does not include the replies/reblogs/favourites count.
If I retrieve the post through the Mastodon-compatible API, using its local id (e.g. https://monrepos.casa/api/v1/statuses/342306) I will get the counts, as well as the URI.
But if I'm starting with the URI, how do I get the local id to then call that API?
/api/v2/search) to return the post object including its identifier. Just use the remote post URL as search string. Here's the documentation for it: docs.joinmastodon.org/methods/…

I'm experimenting with showing the counts on my personal blog.
deathau.weblog.lol/
If you click the icon on the top right (or any "Interact on the Fediverse" link) then enter your handle, the page should refresh and show counts on posts.
@Gordon Pedersen Oh, I see, definitely an interesting feature, although as you've found out, there's no reference to the uri-id in the public ActivityPub representation of a post.
@Michael Vogel What are the risks of including the uri-id of a post in the /objects/ output?
@Michael Vogel @Gordon Pedersen We're already exposing the non-standard diaspora:guid field.
The alternative seems to start accepting a URL as a parameter for the /api/v1/statuses/ API endpoint, before it's converted to uri-id.
This is part of a wider effort to both migrate my website to omg.lol and consolidate my online presence.
There is still a lot of work to do in this regard, but this felt like a solid step in the right direction.
