I like Mastodon quite a lot but the UI decisions they have been making do not accord with how I use the software

v

for me one of the best and most characteristic features is the CW labelling setup, which I like so much I wrote about (here : v21.io/blog/uses-of-cws) and now... they're making that ugly and unpleasant to use?

just played this new Downpour and it improved my day. why not see if it'll improve yours?

love posting stuff like this and it's like... unless you happen to know Petra you would not know that she is an actually very accomplished artist and i've seen her work at, like, shows at the Whitechapel and stuff. that's Downpour!

@v i'm so sad I have a child and no time for games. but then I never managed to finish a Hunter run

v

advice sought: so now i need to publicly list a phone number on the Downpour app store listing? where can i get a phone number from? i don't want to put my actual number there for obvious reasons.

@v we use A&A for this stuff at work, and they're solid if a bit clunky sometimes. not sure how they compare on price, but from memory they're cheap enough that cost isn't the major concern

@v You could use jmp.chat jmp.chat/ which goes over XMPP (might be USA/Canada only, not sure)

@v I'm in the same boat and was looking into Skype as an option but now researching some options from these comments too

the coding habit I'd most like to kick is being reluctant to try a thing and see if it works. I think experience is slowing me down, too often it has worked initially but then that working has turned out to be conditional on other factors I did not apprehend at the time. But also many times the quickest way to understand a system is to actually make it go, not just peer at the circumstantial evidence.

@v shout out to my dude Jan van Kessel the Elder for getting two pieces in here

"HyperCard has five user levels. Each level incorporates everything
from previous levels, plus adds new abilities."

from the Hypercard manual, it shows User Preferences, where you can select your user level. Browsing/Typing/Painting/Authoring/Scripting. there's a checkbox for "Power Keys" and a callout saying "Ignore this for now"
