There is now an (intermediate) option for setting federated repos via UI.
Based on that we are currently developing the sending of activities to distribute stars to the federated repos.
We also noticed that there are some things to consider, regarding activity sending. Feel invited to share your thoughts on this. 🙂
In an industry not known for providing minimally adequate customer service, Intuit continues to provide the worst customer service of all, by a truly astonishing margin.
@adriano@KeithAmmann I use #GnuCash for my small one person company. It serves my needs very well. No need to rent it, no need to buy it. Download it, and #freedom to the user. And #donate, if you like it. You can donate in #feedback, #money, or both.
Not ready for primetime until all Apple platforms supported
Journal ultimately is not usable for users who have more than a iPhone. It doesn't need new features. What it needs is to be enabled as an iOS app that works on iPad and Macintosh. An Apple Web version would be gravy. I've taken to writing in Notes and trying to remember to transfer to the app. Please fix this ASAP!
I regularly switch between using Stage Manager and Original #iPad#Multitasking, using each for my multitasking needs. When you do an arrangement of apps for Stage Manager, then turn off the feature, and look at the App Switcher, the apps get shown separately. If you access one that was in an arrangement, it goes missing when you start Stage Manager again. Why doesn't App Switcher keep Stage Manager arrangements and Original Mulitasking arrangements separate? It seems that it only requires a flag for each to keep track. It could even be an option that if you click on a Stage Manager arrangement is shows in Stage Manager and a Slide-over original multitasking arrangement, it switches to that mode. This strange App Switcher behavior makes the feature less predicable and intuitive.

Kaum war der TUXEDO angekommen & ausgepackt - gab es schon positive Rückmeldungen! Vielen Dank!
@atpfm in the UK and EU a monopoly is generally defined as having a market share of 25% or more, so Apple and Google would both fall into that category. #feedback
The "Siri, Lights" command on Home Pod makes no sense as a toggle. If you have 5 lights in a room and 2 are on, if you say "Siri, Lights," it turns the 2 off and the other 3 on, etc., etm. Is there an actual use case for this? This doesn't feel very intuitive. It seems to me that this behavior would teach the majority of people in this situation not to use the "Siri, lights," commands the first time this fails so miserably like this.
You have no idea how much I love and appreciate concrete helpful & constructive feedback like "put import statements in code snippets" compared to handwavy & obtuse comments like "the docs are pretty bad..." or "examples are all for wild or out there things but what I need are tutorials on the basics". None of the hundreds of example projects & snippets cover those, are you sure?!
Concrete feedback (like the former) actually helps kickstarting things and leads to improving the situation for other users/everyone! I.e. I've already started updating the code snippets in all doc strings across all 190 libraries and I'm going to push new releases in the next couple of days! Great! 🙏🚀
If people really want thi.ngs to improve, at the very least they need to report what exactly is wrong/weak with the docs (preferably with examples), or explain which "basics" should be focused on more... There's an issue tracker and discussion forum[1]. I've been repeatedly asking for feedback here too...
Going hand in hand with this, the survey[2] question "Have you ever contributed to any thi.ng project in any way?" has a big fat ZERO for the "documentation" answer choice. I don't know why it's soo very hard to even just entice people providing some constructive comments, if helping out in other ways is out of the question...
In general, preliminary feedback collected in the survey so far seems to indicate these projects really are like Marmite[3] — people either absolutely love it or hate it, with seemingly not much middle ground... Go figure! Maybe it's a sign of the times...
The result of this is a feeling of being stuck between a rock and a hard place. No matter how much energy (1000s of hours in the past 2 years alone) I've already been investing in providing/improving docs (>50k words in just the readme's), creating/updating docstrings, examples, snippets, diagrams & including links for further reading... it all just doesn't seem to register or is getting shrugged off as non-helpful and I truly don't know if spending even more time/energy/savings on any of this really even worth the effort anymore... Where is the bar for open source projects, esp. those not run be corporations?
