@Gargron I thought you were talking about Deerhunter and, to my surprise, it’s another really nice band!

Mike Zeller :aim_logo:

@Gargron loving the returned version of the album. How do you like it compared to the original?

Eugen Rochko

Personally I'm quite pleased with the design of link cards in Mastodon 4.2, they finally feel on par with other types of media attachments. Links make the web go round!

@Gargron Looks much better. Links are an important part of the web. Good that you agree with that. While the other guy on the single letter app, reduces visibility of posts with links.

@Gargron indeed they are. on the other hand they sometimes steal attached pictures the show.

Mike J👹🐀 🤘🏻

@Gargron I just wish that if it was a link to another toot, it showed the whole toot without my having to click instead of the current behavior.

"AI" is really the new "blockchain" in how every company is trying to hit the buzzword bingo with it right now.

@Gargron At work, we're getting pressure to 'use more ai' and 'do something innovative with ai'. Turns out all our clients are asking about it, and we're being regarded as not as good as competitors because we're 'not using ai', so we're just supposed to shoehorn it in somehow.

We're actually using machine learning in several areas, but apparently ai now means chatbots and generative art.

Sérgio Machado

@Gargron AI is a tool that is not too different from the earlier models. More cpu/gpu power. A big data mining available for the big private collectors such as meta, ms, alphabet etc. it’s useful and important but not how is being told and sell … but it’s interesting i/o refined to generate a program :)

Eugen Rochko

There is like... Nothing of value in the new #Dota2 compendium. Not sure how they thought that was a good idea. It was a gold laying hen every year!

Lorenzo

@Gargron yeah I feel the same, it's so dissonating to see them go down this route

AmiW Streetart 🌴🥥

@Gargron Is there now a solution for the missing photos and pictures that are not displayed in my profile and timelines? Since yesterday, only the new ones were gone and now everything old is missing.

Ste5e

@Gargron they did say they were changing things, since it sounded extremely unhealthy for the game to keep doing what they were doing.

Mastodon is going to have a new intern thanks to @zdfmagazin. @ErikUden appeared on the show to talk about online privacy and received an unexpected prize. 🙂

@Gargron @zdfmagazin @ErikUden How about an official Mac app, mona has too many unneeded features

Colin Devroe

@Gargron @zdfmagazin @ErikUden Even with YouTube's automatic translation I only understood about 20% of that… however, it was hilarious and awesome. Welcome Erik!

Somebody made a cover of Running Up That Hill by Kate Bush in Early Middle English.

@Gargron Sounds pretty much like a song by Ásgeir.

John Mastodon

@Gargron the literal translation of the word "bullet" from that song would be quite interesting!

coffee4danz

@Gargron @OldAintDead that is beautiful! And what a lot of work went into it. Love it!

Eugen Rochko

I was very delighted to discover there’s an active and thriving #BelieveInFilm community on Mastodon a while back. There’s a whole cluster of hashtags where you can find lovely analog pictures, like #FilmPhotography, #35mm, #MediumFormat and more.

@Gargron Digitised to make their appearance here?

Elengale

@Gargron I remain somewhat torn on whether or not I should post photos here or on Pixelfed on a separate account. Fediverse can be a bit confusing at times.

Eugen Rochko

If you'd like your (public) posts to appear in search results on Mastodon, remember that you need to opt-in. Edit Profile → Privacy and Reach → Include public posts in search results. 14K people have opted-in so far!

@Gargron Would it make sense to have a one-time splash screen the informs users of this option after a certain key upgrade? I feel like this is essential to Mastodon's growth.

Imagineering Ireland

@Gargron Thank you, I assumed this was the default setting.

@Gargron @ardent_handsaw Great to hear about the search and cross-instance interaction features.

cultdev

@Gargron @ardent_handsaw lol…if the verge and nilay ‘worked more like they’re supposed to’ they’d be all-in on mastodon 😆🥱 but hey, congrats on the good press – well earned

Katharina Buholzer

@Gargron @ardent_handsaw With this version, a lof of network errors occur, e.g. when expanding a post to see all replies. It hangs, then the lower left corenr shiows many 'oops..unexpected errors'.

The list functionality is broken as well. (e.g. when clicking on the list, the same network errors occur). deleting the lists fixes that.

Eugen Rochko

It's release day! #Mastodon 4.2 will drop later today. I'm very excited for all the improvements we've been working on since January to become available to all server operators and their users.

Eugen Rochko

Making people pay to tweet should be the nail in the coffin for #Twitter; but then again I thought turning it into a glorified Parler would've been that nail already. As they say, the market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent.

@Gargron I heard a lot of people telling me: They are not affected by all the fascists and nazis in the slightest, since their community isn’t part of “general twitter” (whatever this means). But I cannot believe they’d be willing to pay Musk directly, would they?

DELETED

@Gargron

I was permanently suspended from Twitter/X merely because I repeated some bad things about Tesla cars I'd seen in the news & Consumer Reports; & in the same post I quoted the price of Dogecoin which Musk is fond of.

New #TesseracT single from the upcoming War of Being album dropped and it's pretty good!

@Gargron They haven't missed yet with the singles releases. I'm SO amped up for the full album.

Adrian Aghinitei

@Gargron "War of Being" is available on Spotify, in it's entirety. 😉

@Gargron May I ask you which record player do you have?

Thorton

@Gargron is there a reason why the option “always show sensitive content” doesn’t translate to the mastodon app? It only works on the desktop version, on the app you still have to click on every picture that is marked as sensitive to un-blur it.

Eugen Rochko

Writing that 4.2 announcement, it won't be too long from now. Focusing on just a few big things, but there are so many tiny improvements that make it feel so much more complete...

Eugen Rochko

I have the iPhone 12 Pro and it's basically already the perfect phone, I don't feel like any of this stuff is worth upgrading for #AppleEvent

Icarosity

@Gargron That's what I have and it takes great pictures. I often get asked what camera I use to take photos and videos and people are always surprised when I say it's an iPhone 12.

I do have another camera with a long zoom for birds and the moon, etc.

Clay Baker

@Gargron I have an iPhone 12 and I couldn't agree more. The new stuff does not look like it is worth the cost.

Eugen Rochko

USB-C is the one convincing point for this iPhone #AppleEvent

@Gargron Thanks #EU, it sometimes makes me feel good to be an European.
Now to the user-replaceable battery department. And while I don't give a damn about Apple and their products, I really wonder what kind of Apple-centric "revolutionary" crap they will wrap this feature with when presented.

Benson Leung

@Gargron I agree! It's interesting that they didn't lead with it though, or make a big deal of it... This change will have a reverberating impact on the whole ecosystem.

ivanhoek

@Gargron why? It’s really not that big a deal. It’s just a port.
