@dansup @pixelfed Looking forward to trying this. Looks like it’s come along way since the last beta build

@dansup @pixelfed it wasn't immediately obvious to me how you would add alt text. I'm guessing by tapping the settings icon below the picture?

Luca Degasperi

@dansup @pixelfed love the work you’re doing, just a heads up: shouldn’t the warning color be yellow instead of red? Red generally denotes an error but this is not the case.

I redesigned the New Post screen on the new @pixelfed app

This was the last todo item before its ready to ship, so expect a pre-release APK shortly ✨

@dansup @pixelfed looks good! :D did the update button change location in android? I want to get it updated, but can't find the button anymore 😅

@dansup @pixelfed I really think you should use more contrast text color, that is black or dark gray, instead of light gray throughout the application 🙏 That'd look more clean AND be more accessible

The upcoming @pixelfed app will be shipping with a surprise feature we think you'll love.

It will bring the community together in a unique and fun way 😉

There are a few benefits when you chat/dm an account on the same server ✨

I owe a public apology to @thisismissem

I'm sorry for closing this issue without explaining why, I have re-opened it and will get it merged this weekend.

I hope you know I would never discourage contributions from anyone, and your contributions have made quite an impact, so thank you.

@dansup @thisismissem I don't have context, but I am happy to see this. People not always reflect on their choices and going back to fix something you find wrong shows great personal power. I hope everyone involved is happy.

I went through 3 total rewrites of the @pixelfed app from 2019 to 2023

Earlier this year I started a new version but this time it was open source from the start, and is using best practices

I've learned a lot from the previous iterations, performance is key and you'll def notice when you update ✨

Guy Martin (Dwev) :pc2red:

@dansup @pixelfed when you do a “total rewrite”, does that mean you start from scratch as if previous versions never existed, or are there libraries or functions you wrote before and reuse?

dansup

It's kinda wild that I'm writing a react native mobile app, and after a few years of practice, I'm finally at a level where I can write great code!

Looking forward to rewriting the webUI from scratch after the mobile app, loops and sup are released.

I know we could aim for a single codebase like bluesky, but I'd like to keep our core/backend project separate from clients in the long run, so we can refactor the backend to go or rust

I really need to dust off our dev blog, I love writing em'

Simon Lucy

@dansup

The latter is the only sane way to go, separation of concerns, no shared secrets.

tizmic

@dansup I'm learning Go and Rust right now for this very reason. Though I'm going to use Compose with Kotlin for the UI only, since I'm only interested in Android/Linux for now. :BlobhajReach:

dansup

We closed several outdated issues and pull requests recently, as we prepare to ship several big refactors and one big feature: Groups ✨

While you can disable comments on @pixelfed (and it federates), we are working on better comment controls. ✨

Soon you will be able to limit comments to mutuals, accounts you follow, and more!

@dansup @pixelfed What about the ability to keep people from boosting your posts? 🤔

"We have enormous freedom. That’s not a gift that was given to us, it’s a legacy that was left to us by centuries of struggle. By centuries of people that most of whose names are completely forgotten, the ones who created the freedom and the rights we now have, and that will be taken away unless you constantly defend them."

Definitely, our #freedom is getting less and less by the day!

So cool to see @nlnet officially join the fediverse using gotosocial.org/

Thanks for supporting so many amazing #fediverse projects, including @pixelfed

(in fact, our project was the first fediverse project funded by nlnet ✨)

@dansup @nlnet @pixelfed nice! They should get upgrading though, their release is ~9 months old (0.12.2) with most recent release being 2 days old

(their release: github.com/superseriousbusines)

Hi Fediverse, we are NLnet. We support people and organizations who contribute to a free and open internet. We offer small and medium grants to projects that help fix the internet through open hardware, open software, open standards, open science and open data.
We're the lead of @NGIZero a coalition which runs several funding programmes for people who build free and open source technologies for the Next Generation Internet. (Made possible with financial support from the European Commission).
We've been stealthily present in the Fediverse behind the NGIZero handle but have now finally set up our NLnet instance. With special thanks to @nlnetlabs for their patience :).
Another way we've been involved is we've funded many fantastic ActivityPub related projects. See the image for a visual overview.

Happy to be here and looking forward to meet you in this pleasant space.

@dansup @pixelfed Did you ever get feedback about the font sizes? Whenever I see your Pixelfed screenshots, I really like the overall aesthetic, but also notice that all the texts seem way too small to me. It’s a bit hard to tell without actually using the app myself though. ✌️

It was nearly two years ago that I wrote this article[1] about the EU #ChatControl surveillance directive on behalf of the @cryptpad team.

Very little has changed since then. Experts in technology, law, and policy all agree that the proposal undermines basic European rights, that it will be abused by authoritarian member states, and that the proposed tech solutions cannot possibly do the job the supporting legislators have claimed.

Nevertheless, they have persisted, claiming the support of "expert testimony" that overwhelmingly consists of unsupported claims by lobbyists associated with law enforcement and defense contractors who stand to benefit financially from its implementation.

A vote is expected to take place on June 19th. These have been scheduled and delayed multiple times already, but this it feels like they might get away with it. There is a lot going on in the EU at the moment, and people are both distracted and tired from fighting this for so long.

I'll try to make resistance easier by collecting some suggested actions below, with links.

@ansuz @cryptpad I agree with the fact that encryption is a fundamental part of democracy.

But the problem is that I have not seen proposals on how to handle a situation where encryption is used by actors who want to undermine democracy, hiding their actions via encryption.

E.g. A foreign state actor using telegram in a combined randsomware-against-hosptitals and disinformation campaign, this to cause social unrest and inlluence people to vote tor more-extremist parties.

good morning, #EU residents. have you written to your elected representatives about #ChatControl yet?

EDIT: comments should be addressed to the offices of "permanent representatives" listed on this page: op.europa.eu/en/web/who-is-who

I don't know for sure that these offices are elected. start with these contact points, after that you can still feel free to contact your MEPs, but start here

@ansuz @cryptpad It should be noted that Finland seems to be on the fence after these cosmetic changes. "Won't anyone think of the Children?"
