@badnoodleboard @molly0xfff @signalapp I always low key want them to explain what exactly they did like a youtube devlog would @binarypie @molly0xfff @signalapp Ubuntu ships the gnome extension for the system tray preinstalled. @binarypie @molly0xfff pure gnome without add-ons doesn't. You must be a purist ;)  simply edit the launcher command: Exec=/opt/Signal/signal-desktop --use-tray-icon --no-sandbox %U @molly0xfff @signalapp I once convinced my manager and all her directs to play that exact elaborate prank. We were all in one conf room, being called from a different conf room … by the guy in charge of the videoconference system.   @molly0xfff @Gargron @signalapp That’s wonderful! I wish everyone would report their release notes like this.  @molly0xfff @signalapp Gee, now I kind of do want to try running Ubuntu on an old smart fridge!  @molly0xfff @signalapp okay, I'm an #XMPP user, but if anything convinces me to give Signal a try, it'll be this! 👏👏
@molly0xfff @signalapp uh oh, now not only will we all have to turn on background blur at the same time, we'll also have to somehow tweak our appearances so that Signal mistakes us for part of the background! 😑
 @molly0xfff @Gargron @signalapp Indeed, it always has a little humor in there, love it. Wonder who it is that writes them… 👌🏼 Most other apps’ release notes are so horribly boring… 😐 @Kdude @molly0xfff @gargron @signalapp humor aside, it's information that others don't bother including, saving from the frustration of "what unwanted features did I get today and will I find out at the most unwelcomed time" @I @molly0xfff @Gargron @signalapp Agree. That’s why i decided to disable AppStore updates. I just do updates manually once in a while. @molly0xfff @signalapp Wait - no "beige toster" ? Isn't a complete fridge total overkill ? @molly0xfff @signalapp at least in play store and/or in german the patch notes are way more boring, just announcing features ☹️ @molly0xfff @signalapp I managed to get Signal running on Ubuntu on an actually decent screen 😃 #ubuntuftw Been running Signal on Xubuntu for a couple of years now without experiencing any of those problems. But good to hear they've solved then. And yes, I love reading release notes like that. 😁 @molly0xfff @signalapp More release notes should be written in this fashion, that way more people would read them! 😆 @molly0xfff @signalapp Cathie Wood Says SEC Bitcoin ETF Approval Appears Imminent. https://token10x.blog/2023/10/cathie-wood-says-sec-bitcoin-etf-approval-appears-imminent/ @molly0xfff @signalapp Got in trouble at my old job for writing amusing release notes  Maybe users will actually read the release notes if they are enjoyable to read? 🙂🤷♂️  @molly0xfff @signalapp Clearly better than other projects. I remember when I asked for a changelog in a FLOSS project, I got the answer: "I don't write a changelog especially for you".  @molly0xfff I also like Slack's release notes, but I don't think they're as fun as they used to be. Also honorable mention to Discord, but I think they often overdo it. @molly0xfff @signalapp had this great message on July 19, 2023 for its 6.26.0 update: |
@molly0xfff @signalapp this is gold. 😗👌
