What's this Thing Where People Sometimes Capitalize Every Word in a Sentence? What's the Point Doing This?

#Threads doesn't like #Smithereen profiles for some reason 🤔
I'd expect it to show at least the name and the photo.

Gregory

It's been 0 days since I last hated the mess that is the web front-end.

Gregory

Making progress on #Smithereen:
- Added the "saved photos" system album and the corresponding button in the photo viewer to save images there
- Added the ability to attach album photos to anything that things can be attached to — posts, comments, DMs

My progress trying to read the Foursquare database so far

What the fuck. Why are all these huge libraries so addicted to all the shady crap like dynamic class loading. Just, like, use the classpath, maybe? It exists for a reason.

Gregory

There should not be horizontally scrolling blocks on desktop websites.

Andy Piper

@grishka I demand spiral scrolling only! All this vertical and horizontal crap makes me sad.

Gregory

I finally translated my #ActivityPub tutorial to English: grishka.me/blog/activitypub-fr

(several people at this year's FOSDEM asked me about this)

Gregory

Or should I call it a toot-orial?

Terence Eden

@grishka it is an excellent article.

One small pint,I found that 30s was not enough for validating signatures. Some servers are *slow*!

At least after this term, he won't be the president ever again, so there's that.

Elena Savinova

@grishka What’s the problem with him being a president?

And it is equally possible I don't give a crap about the identity-verifying aspect of SSH for hosts on my local network.

Gregory

"Host key for 192.168.0.17 has changed and you have requested strict checking."

No, *I* never requested that.

We just put out a big update for the Mastodon Android app! A lot of this was based on feedback from Play Store reviews. Give it a shot, it's a really strong update.

- New option to use our color theme instead of Material You
- Support for the color contrast setting in Android 15
- You can now crop your profile picture when editing your profile
- You can now long-press "Add media" in the composer to bring up the file picker
- New look for the media viewer
- New follower notifications will now appear grouped
- Directional loading for gaps in timelines: load newer posts when scrolling up, older when down

eMOODji?!

(I'm trying to download my answers from ask.fm before it shuts down in December)

Everyone has a test environment, but some have a separate production one 😅

Gregory

Of course it happened while I was away from my laptop so I had to ssh into the server from my phone to take a thread dump for later analysis and restart the daemon

Gregory

Oh finally. Never realized that Apple sells a keyboard for $200 🙈
I bought my current Apple keyboard and trackpad ages ago when the dollar was around 30 rubles, so they didn't really feel all that expensive.

A question for my US followers.

I've seen reports online of people receiving used/open-box items from Amazon when they order new and pay the full price. How much of a problem is this in reality? How often does this happen, has this ever happened to you?

I'm thinking of getting myself a Pixel 9 Pro, but since I'm going to use a mail forwarder, returning it if they do end up sending me the wrong thing is going to be a major nuisance.

Gregory

And no I can't really order directly from Google Store because they now have a list of mail forwarder addresses and would cancel your order if your address is on that list. I found that out in 2020.

Gregory

This will definitely help against Putin.

Erik Uden 🥥🌴🍑

@grishka nono, you don't understand, the embargo will definitely only target Putin himself

Алексей Фаянс

Yes, he's probably crying in his bedroom right now.
