love how google’s generative “overview” confidently claims that <hgroup> is deprecated (it’s not!)
@hastur hm. this is helpful, thank you! but it also raises more questions than it answers. i’m honestly surprised this seems like such a complex topic, given that surely *somewhere* there’s a line of code that prints “[ STATUS ] Message”
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?
@flisk sorry for not seeing this lol i’m way less active on here than on my personal acc
i still 85% use an iOS client. with web frontends i tend to use mangane about half the time ish? akkoma-fe is janky but mangane is janky in new and different ways
so basically, i like it being an option, but i’d be totally fine if you dropped it :)
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
@gavi yeahhhh. i daily drive Mona and put up with it being less than ideal.
i would definitely be using a mastodon fork like glitch-soc, or maybe GTS if the compatibility is better than akkoma. but i don’t self-host,
fops.cloud is run by a friend who was kind enough to let me on so i could stop paying stupid amounts of money for a server that could handle the load
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
