As someone who has a very general idea of how US politics works — does this conviction prevent Trump from running for the president in the upcoming election?

@grishka no but funnily enough, he may no longer be able to vote. and there are countries that bar felons from entry. felons also cannot get a secuirty clearance. there will be complications. @grishka The consistent rule is that POTUS must be at least 35 years of age. After that, the timeline shattered and it depends which universe you’re from. In mine, the other prohibition is that POTUS not be a felon. However, in this universe, that rule is instead a 14 year residency. Since we are here and not there, being a felon doesn’t bar you from being POTUS. It’s a humongous glaring Mandela effect just waggling in your face. In all our faces. It’s upsetting to us from the other universe. New profile fields in #Smithereen. (totally incompatible with the rest of the fediverse, but that's fine I guess) @grishka In Friendica we moved away from hard-coded profile fields like these to add support for Custom Profile Fields compatible with Mastodon.

@unnick Mine also checks for the universe for consistency, and UID, and fails if it's not 0 (Universe MPI Master). So much legacy that it still thinks you might be running it on an obscure mainframe from the 70s that uses an even more obscure C compiler ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@grishka https://www.leidinger.net/blog/publications/ has a pretty extensive collection of social network links in the side pane of the blog. Doing a very cursed thing because people keep asking me to make my NearDrop app work on Catalina (would be funny if it overwrites my Mojave install anyway, it really acts like I'm not supposed to have multiple OS versions on a single Mac, even though this is what Apple officially allows) I did make it work in the end. I don't know why the background is peeking through. Enabling layers for these NSTextViews didn't do anything. If anyone with expertise in Apple UI frameworks knows how to fix it, please tell me. It doesn't do this on Ventura. Now I can safely forget about this project for 6 more months, until Google breaks their shit on the Android side again. https://grishaev.me/jetbrains-nickname/
Dear websites, there's exactly zero cases when I would like to download a PDF instead of viewing it in the browser. Don't do it. Just don't. (if I'll ever make my own web browser, it would intentionally lack support for the Content-Disposition header) @grishka For me it's exactly the opposite. I always get annoyed when it opens in the browser. The only case where I want that would be on the phone. The only good thing about the endless scope creep of the web is that modern web browsers have enough features to allow a Flash player to be built. Here's an unpopular opinion: Google is outstandingly terrible as the maintainer of Android. Android needs to become a separate entity, preferably a nonprofit, and preferably run by someone who has strong opinions.

Why do some news websites make random words links to lists of articles on the topic of that word? Does anyone ever intentionally click these, or is this just some weird form of SEO? I was told on Twitter that this boosts PageRank of each individual article because articles link to each other. Otherwise only those articles that have many links from the outside would rank high. So yes, a SEO technique. I want to wish VK developers for everything in their lives to require a pointless extra action to see all available options. In a restaurant, they bring you a menu on a single sheet. There's 1 dish and 1 drink, and "Show 54 more? Ask your waiter". In an elevator in a 25-story building, there are buttons: 1, 2, and "show 23 more". The latter opens an additional panel with the remaining 23 floor buttons. In a shopping mall restroom, there's 1 stall, and a door with a sign on it: "show 5 more". In case someone wants possibly the longest thread on the fediverse for testing purposes, here you go: https://mastodon.social/@brownpau/112322747861701800 What will happen when this limit is exceeded? The "reply key" field will get truncated. It's 1024 bytes and stores the IDs of all parent posts as 32-bit integers, always starting from the top-level one. So essentially, all further replies will be erroneously considered replying to the 256th reply in the thread. Now I don't think this is a problem in any real-world use cases, but yikes Have you ever seen an elephant in real life? Anonymous poll

Voting ended 8 May at 22:43. Kinda tempted to buy a Rabbit R1 just to jailbreak it to run regular Android apps. The only thing stopping me is that it's $200 + reshipping, feels kinda expensive for a reverse engineering curiosity project. This, but the other way around: https://www.androidauthority.com/rabbit-r1-bespoke-android-3439760/ I made a FEP for an important part of my groups implementation: https://codeberg.org/fediverse/fep/src/branch/main/fep/db0e/fep-db0e.md |
The contacts section does display on Mastodon, btw
