TIL how to accept images in EditText in Android

[DATA EXPUNGED]
Gregory

Is it cursed to call objective-c things from a java app via an unreleased non-final api?

#Smithereen update: group and event invitations!

Yes, these do federate. No, they aren't compatible with anything else out there.

#ActivityPub #mastodev

@grishka
What about GNUsocial? Will their groups be compatable?

Mark

@grishka where can I find more info on Smithereen? The only link I can find is a Github repo: github.com/grishka/Smithereen .

d(jack’o la)ngo 🎃

@grishka If I understand correctly the incompatibility is due to wall-to-wall group posts?
Why aren’t events compatible, is there a special requirement or model?

Gregory

So, uh, does Lakeview run Android?!

Gregory

yeah right that's totally how it works, you just write the package name in an activity class to trace the location of someone's phone

Gregory

Fun part about VK is that despite its extremely powerful push towards "content", "authors", influencers, celebrities, and a sterile controlled environment in general, you still occasionally stumble upon something created by regular people. Like these songs uploaded by what feels like everyone. With wishes and comments in their titles. Those were the times!

Now that Google Pay no longer works in Russia, I guess I'm out of excuses to not root my phone? 🤔

@grishka

You do not need to root a phone to install 3rd party apps. Just grab the #fdroid app and use the fdroid app store.

If you have a relatively modern apple device with a screen, open this on it to have your mind blown (on macs it only works in safari): kidi.ng/wanna-see-a-whiter-whi

Gregory

I realized that I can use the iOS app on my mac. It works a bit better than I expected.

Gregory

Though the weird part is that it runs in an iPhone-sized window that doesn't resize. But menus that open out of buttons are native for example.

And the obviously-desktop stuff like dragging an image into the compose screen or pasting one doesn't work. Not sure if it can work at all.

#Smithereen update.

- Events! Yes, events! They're a subtype of group with additional fields — namely, start and end times. There's no field for location yet. There will be one at some point in the future.
- You can tentatively join an event. This is my first custom activity type (sm:TentativeJoin).
- There are reminders for events like for birthdays (you can see one on the screenshots).
- There's a calendar that shows your events and friends' birthdays.

@grishka @activitypub

very nice.

just btw:
When you implement the location later, it might be worth to look at
docs.joinmobilizon.org/contrib and also support schema address – redaktor does so too.
Although you can also view the location lat/lng on a Map …

would be cool if you join TUE meeting –
also working hard;
shamelessly attaching some screenshots which is the column preview for Event and Place in redaktor (details open/closed, this is just the preview for 'object'-part of the ui, i don't have the calendar done in large yet, also thinking about the relations event/place, with `location` 1 event can have multiple places but 1 place can also have multiple events ["upcoming"], as in schema)

@grishka Huh, events being a subtype of group is very interesting (and sensible).

Gregory

The coolest part about the m1 is that you can actually resize chrome/vivaldi dev tools at a decent frame rate

Gregory

Anyway. I thought I could get working photoshop on M1 by running an ancient version in MacOS 9 in an emulator. It mostly does work, but the text tool refuses to acknowledge the existence of Cyrillic and types gibberish instead.

Text encoding was still an unsolved problem back in the year 2000.

Why do I have to remain conscious during winter? Why can't I pay someone to have myself suspended and woken up in April?

Gregory

It's been 0 days since I last crashed a JVM

Gregory

Apparently the ABI on ARM differs from x86 enough that I can't just stick a `Pointer _null` where a function expects a null-terminated varargs list. Functions that take a fixed number of arguments don't crash.
