@Gargron in year 2030 UK is part of EU or Scotland has left the union?

@Gargron i did this years ago

@Gargron I did this for my projects late last year. It seems like a worthless gesture, but it's easy to do.

@Gargron Good.

@Gargron dobre rano

@Gargron Good morning.
おはようございます。
早安。
早上好。

So, how are we going to fix it without hardcoding special treatment for YouTube? Maybe always trying OEmbed endpoint with https would be a safe assumption nowadays? Not sure if there are any OEmbed providers that don't offer https.

@Gargron YouTube previews work just fine now on mastodon.social. Thanks for sorting it out.
It'd be amazing to have an option to "regenerate" for selected past posts instead of "deleting & re-drafting" just to get the preview image

@Gargron YT embeds have stopped working apparently...? :thonking:

@Gargron prepare to be utterly disappointed when he starts a war with some random country in the next 2-3 years and comes after Mastodon for hosting "extremist" leftists.

@Gargron
Sehr erfreulich. Dem schließen sich hoffentlich noch mehr an.

@Gargron That was a really good read.

Also the error message shown in it is a thing of beauty.

@Gargron Thanks for posting.
My 2-bobs-worth.....Been using Signal for a few years now...and it's initial product didn't have the "bells and whistles" like WhatsApp, but it has improved significantly...but one thing has been consistent ( as far I know), the security is pretty cool...
Only biggest issue is the size of the app/files....unlike WhatsApp there's no "relatively easy way" to migrate all media or even the app/file to external SD card...but suspect that is also due its security ethos..

@Gargron I'm not keen on Signal. The UI itself seems alright. What I'm not a fan of is the management/leadership.

A privacy app built for "privacy" should be very easy to download without an app store, yet they promote getting it from known app stores. They also anchor fear to the standalone APK download for android, labelling it the "Danger Zone". If the app and service is as secure and trustworthy as perpetuated than why anchor fear to the non-app store version?
