What in the world is Till Lindemann's latest music video

Eugen Rochko

Lyrics: Don't you hate it when you sit next to a loud kid on the plane; Music video: Some kind of story about Soviet-era serial killer

When you start listening to TesseracT - Altered State 8-BIT FULL ALBUM, you cannot stop...

Reminder that if you run an account of any public interest and want to get more followers you should go into "Edit profile" and check "Suggest account to others"

@Gargron will it be suggested cross instances?

Terci

@Gargron Thanks for the tip. I personally don't want more attention, so it's nice to tell the algorithm "do not perceive me"

Eugen Rochko

It's possible that mastodon.social is experiencing a bit more action than it has for a while, I'm seeing a more or less consistent 480 req/s of traffic

Henderson, o São

@Gargron It's cold in Brazil and Brazilians don't stop complaining about it. That's why.

Deadly Headshot

@Gargron It seems to have got to the point where many images aren't loading?

Eugen Rochko

Oh no, I'm going to have to create a whole new website for the app and then put the form there, won't I...

😩

Eugen Rochko

It is quite encouraging to look through the TestFlight feedback even though it's all bugs it's good that we're finding them now

Eugen Rochko

I think it's a hundred people testing the app now

Emma H :blobcatcoffee:

@Gargron any particular style or template do you want us to use from the app?

Eugen Rochko

Do you know how the Ubuntu Terminal app is really smart about what text to select when you double-click? Is there a way to get that behaviour on #MacOS?

Mac terminal simply selects the "word" on which you double click, exactly the same as regular native text fields do.

The blin cat was a perfect image but now people are just using a photoshopped variant that removes all mystery from the cats expression, it’s so disappointing

I don't think that new #RickAndMorty episode made me laugh once, the entire time I thought "Oh not this again"

Someone :suckless:

@Gargron New episodes started dropping? I should watch it tommorow.

verbumfeit

@Gargron same, but then chuckled when I saw a police car in the street

Eugen Rochko

Thinking about it, maybe I should have created a mailing list for people to be notified when the app gets released all that time ago.

Maybe I should still do that now..? I'm not sure how long it's going to be in beta, we're still fixing some bugs.

Geotechland

@Gargron Are users able to download a beta version of the app and help test it out?

Eugen Rochko

I was looking for an open-source mailing list server and found listmonk. I guess now I need to design a small form and put it inside the blog post about the iOS app or something...

healyn

@Gargron maybe you should worry less about fixing the bugs, and worry more about the bugs fixing you, pal

@Gargron My iPhone 6S is too old for TestFlight :(

DELETED

@Gargron ehh, only for patrons? it is not open for people who dont have how to pay?

Eugen Rochko

Misheard: "Electricity is one of the most dangerous horses there is"

Eugen Rochko

Pretty sure everything is ready for a semi-public TestFlight of the app (though it would have to pass Apple review first). I will probably give it to patrons first though.

@Gargron and I'm still waiting for official Android client 😢🤧
70% of mobile users are on Android

So #iOS apps need to have a privacy policy, that is to say, even while all Mastodon servers have each their own privacy policy, the app also needs a separate privacy policy. The question I have is, what do I write in it if the app doesn't itself store any data, it connects to a server of the user's choosing, like a browser...

@Gargron
Probably just write into the privacy policy what you just wrote there: it doesn't store your data.

But I'm so not an expert at that.

Btw, when will this be ready?
Right now, I'm using Amaroq, which is really nice, but I'll bet "Mastodon's Own" IOS app will be even nicer.

Would this mean that when I select a foto from my phone and go to choose what to do with it, Mastodon will show up as one of the choices? Right now, it doesn't; if I want to toot a foto, I have to go into Amaroq.

@Gargron i sure hope it will! I’m melting here :blobugh:

Right now in St Petersburg it's this one week per year when you wish you had AC. Except almost no one has one because it's mostly useless for the remaining 51 weeks.

Currently the Mastodon for iOS notification sound is the system default one which I'm only used to hearing from the pizza delivery app which leads to some mixed feelings

@Gargron yay, pizza party!

… sorry 😛

@Gargron Unique alert sounds are helpful in discerning which app I need to pay attention to versus which app I can safely ignore.

codythedragonrude

@Gargron now order a pizza through mastodon

decentralized sponsorships are the future clearly

Eugen Rochko

Weird. My computer screen randomly went slightly blurry. Just enough to make text hard to read. I got worried my eyesight suddenly got much worse but looking at my phone screen same distance, everything was sharp. Restart fixed it. Never had that happen before...

Does anyone know when the day switch-over is on Disney Plus? In terms of new releases, I mean. It doesn't seem to be after midnight.
