i appreciate whoever writes the @signalapp release notes

@molly0xfff @signalapp

How do they know about the super-secret Coolbuntu projects?!?!?! ;)

@howtophil @molly0xfff @signalapp They discuss about that in Signal 🙃
@howtophil
They monitor your messages, via the egg tray, obviously.
@molly0xfff @signalapp
@molly0xfff @Gargron @signalapp That’s wonderful! I wish everyone would report their release notes like this.
@molly0xfff @signalapp Gee, now I kind of do want to try running Ubuntu on an old smart fridge!
@molly0xfff @signalapp im still angry about dropping sms support, but thats amazing
@molly0xfff @signalapp okay, I'm an #XMPP user, but if anything convinces me to give Signal a try, it'll be this! 👏👏

@molly0xfff @signalapp uh oh, now not only will we all have to turn on background blur at the same time, we'll also have to somehow tweak our appearances so that Signal mistakes us for part of the background! 😑
@molly0xfff @signalapp Wait - no "beige toster" ? Isn't a complete fridge total overkill ?
@molly0xfff @signalapp at least in play store and/or in german the patch notes are way more boring, just announcing features ☹️
@molly0xfff @signalapp I managed to get Signal running on Ubuntu on an actually decent screen 😃 #ubuntuftw

@olla33

Been running Signal on Xubuntu for a couple of years now without experiencing any of those problems. But good to hear they've solved then.

And yes, I love reading release notes like that. 😁

@molly0xfff @signalapp

@molly0xfff @signalapp Got in trouble at my old job for writing amusing release notes

@molly0xfff @signalapp

Maybe users will actually read the release notes if they are enjoyable to read? 🙂🤷‍♂️

@molly0xfff @signalapp Clearly better than other projects. I remember when I asked for a changelog in a FLOSS project, I got the answer: "I don't write a changelog especially for you".
@molly0xfff @signalapp Bug fixes and performance improvements.
@molly0xfff @signalapp gives off discord vibes, love it
@molly0xfff I also like Slack's release notes, but I don't think they're as fun as they used to be. Also honorable mention to Discord, but I think they often overdo it.
@molly0xfff @signalapp love is in the changelogs 💙
@molly0xfff @signalapp had this great message on July 19, 2023 for its 6.26.0 update:
> Diacritics (such as accent marks) are now supported in @ mentions, so you can remind Aristotélēs to answer your philosophy question in the "Ancient Greek Time Travellers" group chat.
@molly0xfff @signalapp i wan't to see the bugreport behind the fridge topic.

@molly0xfff @signalapp i appreciate anyone who *READS* the release notes!

-sincerely, every technical writer.

@molly0xfff @signalapp Thats gold, will read these from now on
@molly0xfff @signalapp Is that where the Argos change log person went I wonder?

@molly0xfff @signalapp someone should make Doom run on Signal running on Ubuntu on a fridge.
@molly0xfff @signalapp I appreciate those who appreciate things like this 🤣. Thanks for sharing.
@molly0xfff @signalapp I just wish I could read them when not using Google Play Services ...

@molly0xfff @signalapp Meanwhile, every bank app in my country:

1.0: Bug fixes
1.1: Bug fixes
1.3: Bug fixes
2.0: Bug fixes
3.4.7: Bug fixes
...
174.53.8642: Bug fixes

They change EVERYTHING in each and every iteration and they refuse to be transparent about the ACTUAL changes, no matter how many times I complain to them about it.
