@Gargron Good morning fine fellow! Today the head of a Discord server announced that the artist they liked turned out to be a terrible person, so I decided to comfort them and tell them there are artists out there that happen to be good people. Everyone on the server, it seems to me, liked that.

I cannot overstate how convenient Apple Pay is. I didn’t have a single CHF on me the whole trip. I didn’t even need to carry my wallet around.

@Gargron I'm happy for you but also having a hard time understanding why carrying a wallet is inconvenient.

My wallet works when my phone is dead, broken or lost. It helps people identify me if I'm in distress and cannot speak, it carries cash which is usually acceptable everywhere.

It only takes up 3 by 2 by .5 inches in my front pocket as it is minimal in size and I don't carry 800 club cards

inference

@Gargron It's never a good thing to rely on a single method of payment. Cash should always be carried as a backup, whether because you lost your digital wallet, or because a corrupt government declines your payments.

@Gargron I woke up with "Good morning, America, how are ya..." playing in my head. 😂 Good morning to you, from the train they call the City of New Orleans...

To those upset about some design decisions in the iOS app: Nobody’s forcing you to use the iOS app. I’m fully aware that it takes a different turn from all other existing apps in some aspects, and that’s the point. If it makes the fediverse larger by retaining more new users, then I’ve succeeded and everyone benefits. If not, nobody except me loses.

@Gargron I like it. I do kinda miss access to the bookmarks though but I can always drop down to the web interface for that. I rarely check the local or federated timelines, so I don’t miss that at all (and again I can drop to the web if I want to check those). And it seems stable and fast. So I’m calling it a win. Thanks!

@Gargron it’s a good app. It loads faster. A first release and it feels perfect.

Eugen Rochko

And as I said, the #iOS app is open source. I’ll request a Crowdin project soon. However, just because it’s open source doesn’t mean that we’ll accept any change through PRs. If you want to be sure, contact me first.

@Gargron I've made Mastodon-ios Japanese compatible, but is it possible to merge it?

The AppStore reviews are also asking for Japanese support.

Does anyone know if App Store reviews take a while to show up in the interface, or have none been submitted so far? 🤔

@Gargron I could only leave a star rating since I’m running iOS beta, but I left a five star rating 💁‍♂️

@Gargron There is a message about them appearing after there are enough initial reviews.

Eugen Rochko

There’s an small effect you can see if you tilt around your phone on the welcome screen of the #iOS app

@Gargron I think I know a little something about "small effects" but thanks for the heads up, Gorgon

What kind of name is SBB CFF FFS anyway, are you a train company or are you sneezing

@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.)

no dreamer, no eater of leaves

@Gargron since I still can't remember what FFS stands for, I choose to remember it as "SBB?!? CFF, For Fuck's Sake!"

tom h

@Gargron when I had a gf in switzerland we always pronounced this as "SBB CFF For Fuck's Sake"

@Gargron some times it will be hell others you'd get someone who actually knows what their doing

Eugen Rochko

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.

@Gargron I am fond of themes that indicate user control. Maybe something like "Mastodon: Free your time(line)"

An Englishman

@Gargron "toot(ing) on Mastodon" - describes what you do with it!

Eugen Rochko

We've got the graphics and the text for the App Store page... The finish line is in view

It's always DNS, and sometimes it's IPv6 too.

@Gargron
Our NAT scientist superheroes will save us from IPv6. It will be always DNS which will haunt us forever.

The issues with loading/uploading images on mastodon.online should be fixed now

Wilson :nfld_flag:

@Gargron Old thread, I know, but I am facing a problem where users connected via IPv6 can't upload media.
If you can remember, what was the issue/solution for you?

'“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.'

@Gargron Zuckerberg is facing a lawsuit soon ..personally I can't stand him after what he helped to do to the 2020 Election

Polychrome :clockworkheart:

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

@Gargron he's describing the fediverse like it didn't exist.
