codedude,

@twilliability this is brilliant! Anyway for it to include past posts from the blog? It looks like it might only include posts going forward.

@stux Any chance you’d consider allowing us to use custom themes on masto.ai like @TangerineUI or from @rolle?

@elk also looks pretty nice but I’m not sure that’s the same thing as the previous themes.

YouTube really wants to radicalize you.

I just watch guitar, fitness and space science videos there. That's it - and I police my feed and watch history judiciously.

And it still suggests Jordan Peterson, Crypto Tech bros, Joe Rogan, white guys ranting in trucks about immigrants and communists, Koch funded professors, and weird white supremacy guys with caliper mindsets non-stop. I click "Do Not Recommend This Channel" twenty times a day but the stream keeps flowing.

codedude,

@Theblueone you can turn off the home feed entirely and then I recommend changing your YouTube bookmark to the subscriptions page. Greatly minimizes your YouTube experience into exactly what you follow.

Trying to find my people on Mastodon. Please boost and follow me if you:

-want the government to abolish Mondays.

-think that every song could be improved by the addition of an accordian.

-are gaining mass to become too big to fail.

-still have a lingering fear in public places that a flash mob could appear at any second.

-lost faith in our criminal justice system because no one ever went to jail for replacing the lime Skittle with green apple.

codedude,

@lowqualityfacts THERE WAS A LIME SKITTLE?

August was a relatively calm month for the team, with many taking well-deserved summer vacations and attending our first Mozilla All-Hands event.

Despite the quieter pace, we managed to hit a significant milestone on our journey to Thunderbird for Android: the beta release of our new account setup interface.

codedude,

@thunderbird awesome! Are there plans for an iOS app?

Just donated $100 to the amazing Organic Maps project: Trackerless, fully offline, OSM based, open source mapping for Android/iOS. Great UX & routing, super fast & good coverage even of hiking paths, elevation lines & public transport layers...

From their website: "Organic Maps is one of a few applications nowadays that supports 100% of features without an active Internet connection. Install Organic Maps, download maps, throw away your SIM card (by the way, your operator constantly tracks you), and go for a weeklong trip on a single battery charge without any byte sent to the network."

codedude,

@toxi any idea why certain businesses don’t show up when searching for destinations? For example my gym that’s been around since the 70s doesn’t appear

codedude,

@toxi @organicmaps gotcha. Yeah the building exists in the map but no label. :) thanks for the info!

schizanon, to firefox

I've given #Firefox a chance, but it's simply too far behind #Chrome in speed and stability.

It regularly becomes unresponsive. Crashes in one tab can lock up other tabs. Chrome had that solved on day one back in 2008.

The lack of proper #PWA support is also a deal breaker.

I hate #webEnvironmentIntegrity as much as the next #webDev, but I can't live like this.

codedude,

@schizanon regularly becomes unresponsive? Weird, obviously anecdotal but I never have issues. Any trends?

codedude,

@schizanon dang. That sucks.

115 can silently remotely disable my extension on any site

This is title of the following article that @hirad brought it into my attention. As he also put it in a toot, this is bad from two perspectives:

  1. Firefox can do this remotely without user confirmation
  2. has assumed such authority for itself unilaterally (not an opt-in option)

https://lapcatsoftware.com/articles/2023/7/1.html

codedude,

@Mehrad fascinating. I’d be very interested in the reasonable use case for this, and you should rightly be suspicious. The UI could greatly be improved to blatantly notify users when this was happening - if there was some actual legitimate reason for this to ever occur.

codedude,

@Mehrad that support article clarifies a lot. Hopefully the next version clears up the UI issues

As a person who has used 15 years of Android and other devices but not iPhones, here are my quick notes on it based on a couple of hours of first use:

  • Absolutely love the quality-feel it has

  • Unpopular opinion, but the keyboard is much better on an iPhone than on Android phones once you get hang of it

  • The UI... I'm in love. No bad sides of it. I don't even want to change anything.

  • The screen is so crisp

Things I need to accept:

  • The bottom swipe bar, can't disable or hide it. Well, most of the Android phones nowadays have it as well. I guess it's good for accessibility reasons

  • There is no right swipe gesture (back), but then again the back button is always near thumb, well designed. I will get used to it.

  • There is no fingerprint unlock. On Android phones where there was a face unlock I always disabled it because I was used to fingerprint. I need to get used to this, but I notice immediately I don't even miss the fingerprint now because face unlock is much better on iPhones. It actually shows the indicator about the unlock as where Android just feels it's "unlocked" and leaves you feeling uncertain did you even lock it. Apple makes sure with micro interactions. It's smooth.

  • Did I mention already, the UI is fabulous! Android has infuriating UI mistakes (see attached image). As an UI designer/developer iPhone is joy to use.

Will report more later... gotta install more apps...

codedude,

@rolle goods points. I’ll also comment as an ex Android user, the iPhone mini is a perfect device for someone who wants a small, high performing phone with no compromises. I feel like every other Android phone I purchased had some new hardware issue that bugged me endlessly.

June 2023. I love this big old evergreen tree with its wide drooping branches. I pass by it on my daily dog walk. (vertical photo)

codedude,

@nancylwayne Nice! Looks like it might be a norway spruce
