#Smithereen update: basic support for polls is in. You can vote and see results. They will be up to date if the remote server sends Update{Question}. And that's it. You can't create your own polls yet.
 @grishka can you see all six of these options?

It's as if Twitch said you can no longer stream games there. https://variety.com/2021/digital/news/onlyfans-ban-pornography-sexually-explicit-1235044904/ Interesting, Mastodon actually sends Update{Note} every now and then to keep poll results in sync across instances.

Voting ended 19 Aug 2021 at 16:36. Interesting trivia about VK polls, on the web at least, I just realized: they used to show the 100% filled bar on the option that has the most votes. (they no longer do this, I took the second screenshot just now) These two screenshots side-by-side also exemplify how the modern "clean" design wastes screen area on whitespace. And this is with my userstyle that makes fonts smaller in many places. Is there any #activitypub software that implements public polls? Public, as in, everyone sees who voted for what. At least I deployed that thing to my server and nothing blew up, that's a good sign. Now I need to actually display them properly and implement voting. Having polls but not being able to vote in them is kinda pointless, isn't it? #Smithereen update: I made a better comment form on mobile. It now almost feels like an app! Hm. I think I could actually use that newfangled "paint worklet" API to draw blurhashes in #Smithereen? 🤔 And since it's more in the "nice to have" territory and not critical functionality, fall back to solid colors for browsers that don't support it yet. Like Firefox where it's still "under consideration". There goes the adversarial interoperability. Though he's a Chinese living in Canada — so Facebook could very well reach him from there. It would be funny to see them being powerless against a Russian 😏🤔 Whoever you are whose crawler this is, fix your thing already. You're supposed to use nodeinfo instead of hardcoded API paths with typos. And maybe Mastodon's /api/v1/instance, but that's debatable. I'm almost done refactoring #Smithereen to use libvips (image manipulation library) via JNA, without an additional JNI wrapper thing that needs to be built for every OS+CPU and is just an annoyance to deal with. As a side effect, with very little effort and zero DLLs compiled myself, I was able to run it on Windows, because why not. To anyone saying "Java is heavy": here it's running on the old-ass laptop I bought at a thrift store to test Telegram calls. I wonder if it's possible to run it on an Android phone? You should be able to install a JRE with something like Termux 🤔 Modern JRE versions allow running .java sources without the need to compile them first. Could you call these Java scripts? 🤔 |
