Me l'hanno ridetto semiautomaticamente...

We just published the first release candidate for the next version of Mastodon, and the final release isn’t far off. Version 4.6 brings a number of exciting new features, including the highly anticipated Collections. and a fresh, more consistent approach to profile pages (now, with more intuitive editing). Those are only two of the more visible updates - the release is packed with other enhancements across the backend, web front end, and official mobile apps. If you’re a developer building with the Mastodon API (or, if you’re looking to understand how Mastodon integrates with the wider Fediverse), this post is intended as a “primer” on the main changes in version 4.6 that we think are worthy of your attention. As we’ve done for the past couple of releases, this guide is divided into two parts - APIs and features most relevant to developers of Mastodon client applications; and, federation changes and specification updates related to the ActivityPub ecosystem. We also publish a monthly Trunk and Tidbits engineering update, so if you have been following those posts, some of these changes may already be on your radar. We hope this post serves as a useful guide to what we’ve done to improve the latest release of Mastodon. Client apps The 4.6 release containing the new APIs described in this blog post comes with an API version bump to version 10. You can check api_versions.mastodon in the GET /api/v2/instance response to confirm what a server supports. Collections The biggest new feature in Mastodon 4.6 is Collections - a new kind of public, curated account list that are a great way to share recommended people to follow for newcomers, or to those exploring new topic areas. Accounts can create collections with a name, description, topic (hashtag), and language setting. Collections are managed via a new API under the /api/v1 namespace. The core endpoints are: POST /api/v1/collections - create collections GET/PATCH/DELETE /api/v1/collections/:id - manage a collection POST /api/v1/collections/:id/items - add members DELETE /api/v1/collections/:id/items/:id - remove a member POST /api/v1/collections/:id/items/:id/revoke - revoke inclusion GET /api/v1/accounts/:id/collections - list an account’s collections GET /api/v1/accounts/:id/in_collections - list which of an account’s collections you are in There are also new notification types associated with collections, namely added_to_collection (received when your account is added to a collection) and collection_update (received when a collection you’re in has had any of its metadata, like title or description, updated). See the Getting started with Collections guide in the developer documentation for a more detailed discussion. Fallback notifications When we add new features to Mastodon, they often come with new notification types that all apps need to implement to show correctly. Understanding that this leaves a gap between when a new Mastodon version comes out and their app updates, we’ve also implemented a system of fallback notifications, allowing you to render notifications in your app even when your app doesn’t support them. To take advantage of this, include the parameter supported_types when making a request to get one or multiple notifications or notification groups with the list of types that your app supports now. Any notifications that aren’t those types will now contain a fallback attribute, containing a NotificationFallback entity you can use to render a fallback message. Profile editing Mastodon 4.6 introduces a dedicated API for editing profile information, separate from the existing api/v1/accounts/update_credentials. The new endpoints are: GET /api/v1/profile - retrieve the current user’s full profile PATCH /api/v1/profile - update profile information The new Profile entity returns note and fields as raw unprocessed text, rather than rendered HTML. This makes it easier for clients to populate editing interfaces correctly. The entity also exposes fields that were not previously available in the API, including avatar_description, header_description, attribution_domains, and profile tab preferences (show_media, show_media_replies, show_featured). The endpoints also provide formatted_note and formatted_fields for when you need the rendered HTML versions. Instance API additions The GET /api/v2/instance response now exposes several new limits under configuration.accounts that client apps should use, rather than assuming or hard-coding defaults: max_note_length - maximum bio length max_display_name_length - maximum display name length max_profile_fields - maximum number of custom profile fields profile_field_name_limit and profile_field_value_limit - character limits for field names and values The server thumbnail object also gains a description field for its alt text. Account and status API changes Filtering account statuses: GET /api/v1/accounts/:id/statuses now accepts an exclude_direct=true parameter to omit private mention posts from the response. You can use this to avoid showing them on profiles (although they would obviously only be visible if the current user has access to them), with the added bonus that excluding them makes the response a bit faster as well. New account fields: Three new fields on the Account entity reflect new profile tab preferences: show_media, show_media_replies, and show_featured. If your app has a profile screen, you should update it to respect these preferences; respectively, whether a “Media” tab is shown, whether the “Media” tab includes media from replies, and whether the “Featured” tab is shown. Preview card attribution: The PreviewCard entity now includes a missing_attribution boolean. Attribution is what we sometimes call the fediverse:creator feature, a fediverse account linked to a link preview. The new boolean attribute indicates that the link claims to be attributed to the current user, but the link’s domain is not in the user’s attribution_domains setting. You can use this to prompt the user to update their attribution_domains. Wrapstodon Wrapstodon is what we call Mastodon’s “year in review” feature. You’ll find the property wrapstodon in the response of GET /api/v2/instance which will contain the current year if the feature is enabled and you are within the eligibility period, and null otherwise. If it is the current year, you can check if the current user already has a generated report or is eligible for one by checking the response of GET /api/v1/annual_reports/:year/state. It will contain a state attribute which is available if there is already a report, generating if one is being generated right now, eligible if you can request one, and ineligible otherwise. If it is eligible, you can offer the user to generate their Wrapstodon report. To do that, you need to submit POST /api/v1/annual_reports/:year/generate (until you do that, nothing will be generated). The response will contain the Mastodon-Async-Refresh header you can use to check for progress. Once the report is generated, it will be available from GET /api/v1/annual_reports/:year as an AnnualReport entity. Fediverse ecosystem Collections Collections have a full ActivityPub representation. We’ve been working on this in the open, via FEP-7aa9. The way it works is very similar to how we implemented quote posts (FEP-044f), as actors issue authorizations for being included in collections. Actors now include a featuredCollections property linking to a collection endpoint that lists their public FeaturedCollection objects. This in addition to the existing featured (for pinned posts) and featuredTags (for featured hashtags) properties. Actors also now include a new interactionPolicy property, with acanFeatureattribute, indicating the audience for which collection inclusion requests are automatically approved—public, followers-only, or manual approval only. New profile preferences federated over ActivityPub The new profile tab preferences are federated as properties on the Actor object: showFeatured, showMedia and showRepliesInMedia. This allows other Fediverse software to respect an account’s preferences when showing their profile. HTTP Signatures Several changes have been made to HTTP Signature handling, to align with current standards: Multiple keypairs. Mastodon now supports remote actors that present multiple keypairs, improving interoperability with implementations that rotate signing keys or publish more than one. Skipping the Accept header. Mastodon no longer includes the Accept header in the signed portion of outgoing HTTP requests, for compatibility with proxies and CDNs that may rewrite it in transit. Temporary failure response code. When Mastodon cannot verify an incoming HTTP Signature because it temporarily cannot reach the remote server, it now returns 503 rather than 401, distinguishing a transient network issue from a genuine authentication failure. Other spec alignments JSON-LD quote definition. The definition of quote in Mastodon’s JSON-LD context was incorrect and has been fixed to be of type @id. ActivityPub Accept headers. The Accept headers sent when fetching ActivityPub objects have been corrected to properly match the ActivityPub specification by including the JSON-LD profile. Non-ActivityPub Link headers. A Link: rel="alternate" header pointing to e.g. RSS or Atom was incorrectly blocking discovery of the ActivityPub representation of a resource. This is now fixed. Webfinger Profile URI Discovery Mastodon 4.6 implements FEP-2c59, including the webfinger property on actors and using it when validating usernames. You can read more about how Mastodon implements this in our WebFinger documentation. Activity Intents Mastodon 4.6 implements FEP-3b86 (Activity Intents). Activity Intents provide a way for servers to advertise URL templates for common interactions—follow, reply, boost, favourite—that allow compatible apps and tools to redirect the user to the correct page without hardcoding or guessing the URL. One example is Mastodon’s own share tool, share.joinmastodon.org, which uses this FEP to redirect the user to correct share page on their server. Mastodon’s WebFinger responses now include interactionPattern link templates for supported intent types. The remote interaction dialog in Mastodon’s web UI has been updated to prefer these advertised intents when a remote server supports them, improving the experience for users on servers running different software as different apps gradually upgrade to support the same Activity Intents approach. Keep building the open social web! Thank you to everyone building apps, tools, and integrations on Mastodon and across the Fediverse. This blog post covers the highlights; you can find the full details in the Mastodon 4.6 changelog on GitHub.

La fine di Internet aperto, ovvero come l'Europa ha perso la bussola sulla libertà di parola online l'adozione della sovranità digitale da parte del continente si estende ora ben oltre la politica industriale e le infrastrutture critiche, ma è arrivata a comprendere la regolamentazione della libertà di espressione, poiché i governi spingono le piattaforme dei social media a controllare le espressioni online vagamente classificate come disinformazione, manipolazione straniera, incitamento all'odio o sfruttamento minorile. https://www.foreignaffairs.com/europe/end-open-internet

NIENTE SIRI IN EUROPA: le scuse di Apple che puzzano tantissimo di farsa... Apple annuncia la “nuova Siri” dentro Apple Intelligence, poi aggiunge il dettaglio che in Unione Europea diverse funzioni su iOS e iPadOS non arriveranno “a breve”. La narrativa è semplice: “ce lo impedisce l’Europa”. Ma il punto interessante è come lo stesso fatto venga pesato e incorniciato per spostare il colpevole: da “scelta di prodotto e di compliance” a “divieto politico”. E infatti, su Mac le funzioni risultano disponibili, segnale che non è un limite tecnologico inevitabile, ma una decisione selettiva. Dal lato UE, il portavoce della Commissione europea Thomas Regnier ribalta l’accusa: il DMA non vieta di lanciare prodotti, chiede interoperabilità nel rispetto di privacy e sicurezza; sarebbe Apple ad aver cercato un’esenzione e a non aver ancora presentato soluzioni conformi. Dentro questa frizione si legge un pattern già visto: l’uso della sicurezza come argomento competitivo e la “malicious compliance”, cioè rispettare la lettera della norma nel modo più sgradevole possibile per far apparire assurda la legge. Quando una multinazionale riesce a far tifare gli utenti contro le proprie tutele, la posta in gioco non è Siri: è chi governa davvero il telefono in tasca e quanta scelta resta all’utente. https://youtu.be/lTgAKZPE7MY

Politica sull'intelligenza artificiale esponenziale. Il post di Dario Amodei In una delle trame secondarie de Il Signore degli Anelli, due Hobbit tentano di risvegliare Barbalbero —un albero senziente saggio ma ponderoso— per difendere la sua foresta da un esercito che la sta abbattendo. Il problema è che Barbalbero opera a una velocità molto diversa rispetto agli Hobbit. Gli ci vuole un giorno intero semplicemente per salutare un altro albero, quindi convincere lui e i suoi coetanei ad agire abbastanza velocemente è quasi impossibile.L'intersezione tra l'intelligenza artificiale e le nostre istituzioni politiche ricorda un po' gli Hobbit e Barbalbero... https://darioamodei.com/post/policy-on-the-ai-exponential
