indeed! πŸ˜…

I should've tried that first, after having read that thread I'm guessing it might be something OAuth-related

for anyone else running into this, give these steps a try:

false alarm, I tried signing out, signing in again and force-quitting the app and now it's working again Β―\_(ツ)_/Β―

so all good :)

the appview calls are proxied apparently?

I should ping the dev too: hi @josh.uno I think @catbird.blue might be experiencing issues?

And hop, I shifted to @eurosky.social -- and it was very easy to do so.

In case you want to continue to support European tech initiative in concrete terms --> move.eurosky.tech

Info Contexte - La France et l’Espagne Γ©chouent Γ  inscrire le bannissement des systΓ¨mes d’IA de nudification dans l’omnibus IA - Contexte L’info en profondeur.

New: Paris and Madrid failed to convince other EU capitals to add in the tech omnibus a ban of AI generated nudity content without consent (hey Grok).

Still some whispers MEPs will try to push for a ban for the trilogues. But it is very uncertain.

I think it might be an issue with the catbird API?

is anyone else having problems with @catbird.blue?

sadly, it's not an uncommon thing here too, among certain parts of the userbase

I remember talking to someone who was convinced that Bluesky is a huge con, they don't mean anything they say about decentralisation etc, and it will soon all be revealed as a huge crypto scam πŸ€ͺ

i was at twitter when he got rich. he was always kind of a dick but also he was scruffy and human. when he returned to take it over from Dick C he was an unrecognizable caricature of a dot com fire walking meditation-chanting weirdo with that embarrassing beard

yup the render/preview branch link will go dead as soon as the PR is merged

(which could be a while ofc)

jack no state is the best state

he really seemed enthusiastic about Nostr but it's struggled to make any real kind of impact

I don't follow closely but it doesn't look like he's even posted there in more than a month?

got the bot thing working well!

will eventually remove the "{bot}" part, but not until it's in the main client and easily accessible to 3p apps!

but all tweets-2-bsky users should pull to latest version! they can add these labels to all their mirrored accs instantly, all future bots have it too:

if you update to the new version I think that will be done automatically?

no worries! however, I think something might have gone a bit awry as you seem to have lost your avatar?

does anyone know what Niklas might be running into here and how to fix it? he's trying to upload a blob (a WebP image) to his PDS using goat

I've never used goat myself, so I'm afraid I'm not the best person to ask πŸ˜…

I'll quote your post to see if anyone else knows

Translator API | Can I use... Support tables for HTML5, CSS3, etc

from what I can tell: not yet

there is a Translator API that it seems would enable similar functionality on web as is available on native for translating Bluesky posts, but it's only supported in Chrome and Opera, with no support in Firefox, Edge or Safari:

new version of tweets-2-bsky - now supporting this bot field πŸ€–, switching from "UNOFFICIAL" to "bot" branding (cleaner!), and admins can opt-out of auto-pulling the Twitter bios once per 24hrs, meaning you can manually set a bio!

make sure to update if you're on an older instance!
