People with multiple Apple Watches for testing or sleep or whatever:

How do you reliably prevent the “other” one (at a given time) from sounding your daily wake-up alarm from your iPhone?

This “Push Alerts from iPhone” setting in Watch -> Clock is off for both watches, but sometimes, the “other” watch sounds the alarm anyway.

This looks like the answer!

Watch -> Sleep -> Don’t use this Watch for Sleep

Thanks, @captainslim !

(Also, I don’t want to get into a whole thing, but this is a common situation — asking a question, and wanting to share the answer with commentary and thanks — in which I really miss quote-tweeting.)

@marcoarment I understand the justification for not allowing quote toots but I think it’s doing more bad than good

@caseyliss @marcoarment I mean there is no harm in just sharing the link to the post in your post. I have seen a few iOS apps handle those in app instead of booting you to the browser.

@caseyliss @marcoarment The beauty of OSS is that it’s possible for someone to come up with an implementation that does allow it, and then we can all decide whether to pursue that fork or not.

@philip @caseyliss @marcoarment unless it gets pulled into the main project and clients support it well, it has no chance.

Not even considering that that one oddball fork needs to do maintenance for we to support it.

@caseyliss @marcoarment You're not alone in this, many of us pushed back at the dev team.

In the end, the genesis of Mastodon was strongly (almost wholly) driven by marginalized groups - and they saw it used much much more for hate than good.

I think an app will come along that will implement it client-side and that will be that. Maybe bug Paul Haddad enough and it'll find its way.

@caseyliss @marcoarment I don’t see it much in tech twitter but in sports twitter almost all of the QTs I see are for people to “dunk” on someone, not someone adding anything to a conversation.

@jonkit @caseyliss @marcoarment I agree with no system integrated QT philosophy to tamp down on incentivizing performative toxic behavior. Occasionally when I would like to QT, I just screenshot the post and attach it.

@caseyliss @marcoarment I’m enjoying the lack of them. When back in Twitter land it’s apparent they take up the majority of my timeline and a lot of screen space with it. Think the vast majority could be a reply but they’re not because they either want to dunk on original, or because algorithm seems to favour them above replies so if you want to be seen you’re encouraged to use them over there.

@caseyliss @marcoarment I jumped off the Twitter train so long ago that this whole conversation just feels alien to me. It’s like I jumped into the middle of season 3 of a show:)

I’m wondering if people are missing a habit or a feature. I honestly can’t tell.

@breadbin @caseyliss @marcoarment My perspective is this is like a knife. Billions of people use knives for good every day. A relatively insignificant number use them for evil. We don't ban knives, instead we ban specific uses of them. I think if someone uses the feature to bully or harass, they shouldn't be allowed on mastadon at all (or at least not on any instance that fedarates with the one I'm on).

@caseyliss @marcoarment why not screenshot with a link to the original? Definitely not as convenient, but I feel like it gets us most of the way there.

@caseyliss @marcoarment there's been good talk about adding, instead of "quote tweets", adding "boosting with notes" -- exactly the boost we have today, but adding the booster's text as a trailing static note after it

Attached: 1 image @[email protected] I pushed so hard for this at Twitter! Everyone loved the idea but was too scared to make the change, I even included it in my going away email that I blasted out to all of product/design/engineering. https://fabisevi.ch/2022/04/01/goodbye-fellow-tweeps/

@caseyliss @marcoarment Feels so weird to not have quote toots (retoot?).

Not sure how to share a toot with a friend anymore. 😂

@caseyliss @marcoarment I saw some forks of Mastodon that seem to interoperate? Maybe there could be a “best of the bird site” fork coming from Apple nerd-sphere, since certain cultural changes brought with this migration might be resisted.
