 Modern IT is hopelessly broken, episode I lost count which. How, exactly, could WhatsApp possibly be a valid search result for "file manager"? It seems to always show up in the first 20-30 results no matter what you search for, together with some other popular apps.  super cool to see that @Cochise set up a #Brazilian #Smithereen instance at https://plural.masdivago.cc/Cochise  ooh, an old-school-Facebook clone! interesting (side grumbling: some FOSS projects really don't spend a lot of time thinking about picking names that are easy to pronounce/understand for international audiences, right? Smithereen, SecureScuttleButt...) Fixed a bunch of concurrency issues in #Smithereen yesterday. Hopefully it won't deadlock any more. That was getting really annoying. The industry has really fucked up the terminology for high-dynamic-range images and videos. So you have "HDR where a picture is taken at a high dynamic range and then squeezed into the standard one with local tone mapping", which Google calls "HDR+" and Apple calls just "HDR", and then you have "HDR where a screen can go brighter than the brightest UI white", which Google calls "Ultra HDR" for sill pictures and "HDR10" for videos, and Apple calls "XDR" if I'm not mistaken. Not confusing at all. Okay *this* is the AI thing. I didn't even know I had this app before someone on Twitter told me    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 π€  Making progress on #Smithereen:   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.   @grishka I demand spiral scrolling only! All this vertical and horizontal crap makes me sad.

   I finally translated my #ActivityPub tutorial to English: https://grishka.me/blog/activitypub-from-scratch/ (several people at this year's FOSDEM asked me about this)   @grishka it is an excellent article. One small pint,I found that 30s was not enough for validating signatures. Some servers are *slow*!   |

@grishka maybe it has file management somewhere in description? which is like- just clearing all the garbo cache that whatsapp can't stop downloading
