@grishka меня в телевизоре показывают! 😂

I like how fediverse crawlers keep trying to get something out of my #Smithereen instance by iterating through all kinds of API endpoints, none of which I have yet.

@grishka I find it very annoying that mastodon doesn't stop requests to the end-points it keeps getting 404/405 responses at.

@grishka Sorry for unrelated question, but what's the name of that font? Looks cute. I wanna find a font that looks good in tiny size and this one looks promising

TIL that "popover" is not only a UI element, apparently.

#Smithereen update: a much better remote follow page that actually fits into the popup window. And the login form too, in case you aren't logged in for some reason. What a revolutionary innovation!

I'm also happy to report that getting CSS to vertically align elements exactly as you want them aligned is still a major pain in the ass, even with flexbox. Some things about web development never change.

#Smithereen update. Instance signup modes: open, invite-only, closed.

Apparently the virus doesn't spread sideways.

The worst thing about centralized social media is that the company not only gets to keep your data hostage, but also to control every aspect of its presentation.

#Smithereen update.
- User list in the admin panel.
- UI to change the access levels for users.

Look, they've fixed the typography on this screen this time!

#Smithereen update. Admin panel now has its first tab, and you can now set the name, description, and contact email for your instance.

If this whole quarantine thing has taught me anything, it's the fact that internet isn't a substitute to real life. It doesn't come even close. Yes, it's a revolutionary invention. Yes, it literally changed my life, and multiple times at that. But I'm growing increasingly tired of everything being online and generally in the spirit of "like the real thing except you stay at home". NO. I've had enough. I want my real life back. I hated staying at home and working remotely even before the virus.

@grishka I never realized how much I would miss just the daily basic social interaction I have with coworkers. people i felt like i just tolerated now seem very dear to me

Small #Smithereen update. I'm now rid of one more annoyance: direct links to comments now redirect to the top-level post page where the linked comment is highlighted. Comments still open on separate pages with JS disabled to make it possible to reply to them, but now there's a link to navigate to the top-level post, too.

@grishka Гриш, чисто визуально: если открыть коммент на новой вкладке, очень не хватает видимого разделителя поста и комментариев. Кажется, как будто несвязные посты.

#Smithereen update: improved profile pictures.
- You can now select a square region while uploading one.
- Regardless of that, your profile will still show the full, non-square version, VK-style.
- You can now delete your profile picture.

TODO: figure out how to expose these in #ActivityPub objects.

Gregory

See a live example in my profile on my test instance @grishka

It's certainly starting to look like the real thing.

> figure out how to expose these in ActivityPub objects.

@grishka probably the full one is the Object's image property and the other is the icon. However I think that mastodon is using the image as a "cover photo".

#Smithereen update.
- You can now specify your birth date and gender. (there will be birthday reminders at some point)
- There are now proper placeholders for profile pictures.
- The profile pictures themselves now have overlaid borders, looks better with those that have a light background. (this took me too long to figure out, CSS is weird)

#Smithereen update. One less frustrating thing for actual serious usage: any URLs and domains in the post text are now parsed into links. Let's hope I won't need to edit this regular expression ever again.

@grishka What a beautiful regex! Did you made it on your own or find it somewhere?
Little improvement that could be made is to consider a TLD (orange) which is only digit as part of domain? Or it may breaks things, I don't really know if that's *that* useful
quote do: unquote

@grishka what about emoji domains like this one? xn--i-7iq.ws/ granted it has this alternate text form that should linkify based on the regex.

Unrelated to ActivityPub: Daniel Jackson is so damn hot.
