Build rejected because it links to the GitHub of Mastodon which links to the Patreon :cate: Picking a title for the App Store page is not easy. Just "Mastodon" is taken by someone - I can't find who or what. So needs more words. "for iOS" is redundant and not permitted. "Decentralized" is so long it doesn't leave any characters for the noun. Besides, I don't want any technical jargon. Any words that a random internet user won't immediately recognize. Twitch has it so easy with its "Twitch: Live Game Streaming". Short and clear.

@Gargron I’m of two minds about using some variation of ‘fediverse’… on the one hand, I don’t know if normal uninitiated people would grok what it means. (I wasn’t familiar with the term before the period in which I became interested in joining, but I’m a sample size of one.) On the other hand, it would help advertise the existence of other parts of the fediverse if it’s in the app name. We've got the graphics and the text for the App Store page... The finish line is in view @Gargron @Gargron Old thread, I know, but I am facing a problem where users connected via IPv6 can't upload media. @Gargron Eugen, '“A good vision for the metaverse is not one that a specific company builds, but it has to have the sense of interoperability and portability”, Mr Zuckerberg said, adding that there should be protocols like the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) internet standards for defining how experiences will be built.' Uh-huh

@gargron like the time he killed XMPP for Facebook Messenger :blobcatinnocent:

@Gargron I’m more interested in the ability to restrict who can reply to a post. Options like: If you had to use a simple, verb-centric sentence to describe Mastodon, what would it be? Here's a demo of the sign-up process in the Mastodon for iOS app, recorded by @DavidBlue :thinkhappy:

@Gargron @Gargron you meant https://www.yewtu.be/watch?v=azV0Y7v6wsg ? I'm not going to YOUTUBE. But Invidious is fine to access it. "Facebook and its advertisers are ‘panicking’ as the majority of iPhone users opt out of tracking" https://9to5mac.com/2021/07/14/facebook-tracking-app-tracking-data/ :jeb:

It's nice to see this so-called attention economy in flames, at last. As a user, I generally oppose the very concept of advertising anywhere at all unless that place is directly related to shopping. If I wanted to buy something, I'd go to a mall, thank you very much. Do you think it would be helpful if you could select which rule you think a post/account has violated when making a report instead of having to type it out by hand?

I need to figure out which accounts (with permission) to feature in the App Store screenshots and I'm not even sure where to begin...

Thanks to the generous help of the previous owner of the mastodon username on GitHub, our GitHub organization has finally been renamed to mastodon! 🎉 I know that changing the repository URL is a bother but I think it’s worth it and better done sooner than later. Tootsuite was not serious and had no connection to our actual name.

It's been at least a month since the Spotify desktop app redesign and I'm still struggling with using it Why is search behind another click now? I have to hunt down "recently played" in a random spot on "Home". I just accidentally clicked the green play button when I didn't mean to because I mistook it for a "scroll row to the right" navigation button because all of these things are single rows and you'd assume they scroll, right? But no, you have to click "see all" above

@Gargron Spicetify can fix some of these problems: You can customize the Home screen by pinning segments like Recently Played to the top so that they are always visible or hide other segments. Highly recommend it if you're fine with running a modified Spotify client. It also has nice themes, support for add-ons, a better playlist shuffle script and some other nice things. https://github.com/khanhas/spicetify-cli @Gargron can we all just go back to buying physical media? at least that was easy to figure out and did not require metadata collection via internet to use Next week we're going to get to the creation of the App Store assets/copy so I guess the release of the app is creeping ever so closer |
@Gargron SBB CFF FFS stands for Schweizerischen Bundesbahnen (SBB), Chemins de fer fédéraux suisses (CFF), Ferrovie Federali Svizzere (FFS). ... In other words, “Swiss federal train” in German, French, and Italian.)
@Gargron since I still can't remember what FFS stands for, I choose to remember it as "SBB?!? CFF, For Fuck's Sake!"
@Gargron when I had a gf in switzerland we always pronounced this as "SBB CFF For Fuck's Sake"
