love how google’s generative “overview” confidently claims that

linux question for you computer touchers:
y’know how when you boot into most linux distros without silent boot or a splash screen set up, you get a scrolling log of messages prefixed largely with [ OK ] ?
what software is ultimately responsible for displaying that? is it done by plymouth? systemd? dmesg? the kernel?

worth noting that my complaints almost certainly don’t apply to anyone using the respective app to talk to a Mastodon backend. they probably work great in that case. these problems are (mostly) specific to Akkoma support, or rather the lack thereof
another very annoying thing is that there’s no visual cue to tell you that you have a new notification. you just have to check the notifications tab yourself
AND THE FILTERING OF REPLIES ON THE HOME TIMELINE ISN’T PERSISTENT
you close the app and re-open it AND YOU HAVE TO FILTER AGAIN
!?!?!?

it would also appear that my claim that feditext supports formatting isn’t entirely true.
you can see formatting on other people’s posts, but you can only post in plaintext
also, there are no drafts

actually, when i tried to send that post, i got an error! turns out you *actually* have to set it to “Enable all API calls, fail on errors”. otherwise you just can’t post. fun times
right. so it would seem that feditext actually does filter replies, you just need to set a confusing-looking option at the very bottom of the preferences menu
at no point did the app tell me “hey, looks like you’re on akkoma, might want to enable api compatibility”. you just have to figure that out yourself

is there any good iOS client for akkoma servers?
the problems i experience with the ones i’ve tried so far:
mona:
- ❌ there’s an option to remove replies from the home timeline, but it only sometimes works
- ❌ all posts get stripped of formatting and rendered in plain text
- ✅ avatars on remote instances work fine
- ❌ emoji reactions can’t be sent or viewed
plus: replies to a boosted post always mention the person who boosted it. you have to remove the mention yourself every time

feditext:
- ❌ there’s an option to remove replies from the home timeline, but it doesn’t work
- ✅ formatting works fine
- ❌ avatars on remote instances only appear when you enable animated avatars
- ✅ emoji reactions work fine
plus: the design of the UI looks somewhat janky imo

game dev idea for an open world rpg: make your map without any major roads, track where your playtesters tend to go, and build roads around those paths. like desire paths but virtual
