Whatever crosses my mind on tech, internet, federated social, etc.

Infrequent poster; I spend enough of my time on screens as it is, so I prefer to go touch grass and connect with the universe. I build things for other people who feel the same.

@mhp 🥳🙌🏻

@mhp thanks! I’ve already been wasting so much time trying to get approved to release in the official store (issues with forming the company before a name change and them not accepting my legal documentation of such), I figured it’d be worth looking into alternatives

@mhp I was not aware of that. thank you for sharing. very concerning and surprising given the recent DMA stuff forcing Apple to allow alternative app stores. I don’t see how the same wouldn’t apply to Android.

Android users: do you install apps from alternate app stores?

I last had an android as my main driver in 2013 and used to run a jail broken OS, but have no idea how common installing non play store apps is these days

When your password leaks:
→ Change your password
→ Problem solved

When your biometric data leaks:
→ You can't change your face
→ You can't change your fingerprints
→ The compromise is permanent
→ Your biometric data is in breach databases forever

This is why facial recognition for age verification is dangerous.

@benpate that’s so exciting! I’m very much looking forward to seeing the E2EE stuff!

Just having that available to the protocol will be so great 🙌🏻 then everyone can experiment with the UX on top of it

@benpate @scottjenson Hey Ben, yeah, I totally agree- threads still make sense for public posts since there is often so much branching. The private use case really depends, but since it’s often 1-1, it feels less necessary to have the complexity of threads. Definitely debatable tho depending on preferences.

If threading stays in private messages, I’d love to see the 1 & 2 UX you described. I think of slack as another example of decent threads UX, but don’t like it nearly as much.

@scottjenson @benpate is there a reason private messages need to support threading? Most DMs on other platforms are flattened to a single thread for simplicity.

If threading is still necessary, iOS’s design for replies to specific messages in iMessage feels easy to follow for me

Cool, where’s the class action suit to join to get my refund for all the tariffs I had to pay since this was enacted?
