If you saw my boost on Seirdy’s accessibility analysis on Calckey, there were a bunch of issues that they found.

Thankfully, it seems that the Calckey team is working hard to improve the issues and they recently added keyboard accessibility and made a bunch of improvements

I suggest reading the analysis they put out, but some of them are already addressed.

Also, Calckey added local boosting (yes, Calckey has different scopes to boost opposed to Mastodon boosting to the public). They plan to add boost with the ability to add a content warning in addition, soon.

Hopefully the editing feature will come soon. But still, competition is a good thing.

The worst part about MAL being down is I lost all the things on the list that I wanted to watch. Hopefully it'll be back soon enough that it won't matter.

I started playing the Japanese version of Pokemon TCG GB2, I kind of wish it made it to the west, but it didn’t.

At least I can understand it since I know Japanese.

I played some Pokémon de PanePon on my commute with the Analogue Pocket, and I like it better than playing Gameboy games on the Nintendo Switch through Switch Online Expansion Pack. It’s just feels awkward playing Gameboy games on such a huge letterboxed screen.

Also, the 10x upscaling on the Pocket blows anything the Switch can do through emulation. Even on Gameboy Virtual Console on the 3DS (which I played Pocket Monsters Silver), which kind of looks blurry.

The sad thing is, getting a Pocket without overpaying is a difficult proposition or waiting 2+ years, since Analogue insists on “Kickstarter-like” behavior.

Such a shame really, it probably the perfect Gameboy Color recreation, besides modding a Gameboy, slapping a new shell and IPS screen on it, using a flash cart and calling it a day.

Do you find the default Calckey UI too cluttered. The classic mode resembles Twitter more and you can change to it with these simple teps.

1. Click the three dots (more) in the side bar and click Layouts
2. Click Classic

Now the interface should resemble Twitter. Also, you can use Deck layout to make it look like Mastodon’s Advanced Mode or like Tweetdeck where you can have multiple columns, allowing you to view multiple timelines, notifications, and put up widgets.

I wonder, have anyone built an Ikea Detolf by oneself? It might be an option since I ran out of space on my bookshelf for figures.

It seems that a.gup.pe might be shutting down, I saw the message. This might explain why the developer hasn’t fixed the federation issues with Misskey and forks.

I wonder, does chirp.social and lemmy.ml have the same issues with Misskey and forks?

I set the default theme to a Sakura-theme at Sakurajima Social since they had at the Misskey theme repository. We need to put a Sakura theme because it’s in the name, of course.

FYI: You can change the themes in the preferences to one that is not pink.

Looks like the recent Calckey commits in dev have broken federation at Sakurajima.social, 1 days ago, but now it’s working, for the time being, no further updates will be made., maybe until they release the next release candidate or they confirmed to fix this issue with the recent commits.

Are we testing in Production? Yes, because it’s not officially launched yet, it’s in a soft opening. When we finally open, only stable beta builds will be used.

With Twitter’s new verification rules, tracking accurate election information is about to get more difficult, if not impossible. I can see this being a very bad thing.

This really dilutes the value of Twitter being a source for accurate news and information.

Added a good bunch of Emojis today, should add some more tomorrow.

chikorita157, 1 year ago to random

Still trying to figure out the best way to import custom emojis on Calckey. Apparently, they need to be stored the user's "drive." I basically ratelimited myself and can't upload anymore. Opps?

Man... I just saw a #speeding #car out my window; it looked like they were going 70 mph, and they were going on a #neighborhood #street! I'm surprised that the #cops don't try to stop these #dangers to the #community!

Finally managed to upgrade Mastodon and threading formatting is finally here. Of course, Mastodon Modern and Birdsite for Twitter has some oddities that the creators need to fix once the it is in an official release.

Also, I got the “network error” after performing the update when I view the post in full and I wondered why. I forgot to restart/reload mastodon-web service. :kanafacepalm:

I didn't just pay 167 more for an Analogue Pocket, but I did, this is after winning an action for a new one.

However, Analogue is having trouble shipping out orders, there are orders from January 2022 that haven't been shipped and people are waiting 14 months for their device. My order number was like in the 190k, I probably won't see it in 2 years possibly. 😱

I saw a recent post that said this

"Thanks for reaching out. The availability of 2023 is rather vague.
They have a contact option of pre-order cancellations so that doesn't
look promising. "

Also playing Gameboy Advance on the original screen in 2023 isn't a great experience. To do the mod with no soldering needed would cost about $138 with shipping. Also, do I want to mod something that has sentimental value from my childhood.

I will just pay the extra amount so I don't have to worry about Analogue possibly going out of business without ever getting my product.

Regarding the post I made, yes I gone a bit too overboard, but it's how I feel about the state of Mastodon. They are moving way too slow in implementing features that could possibly put an end to #BlueSky 's momentum with an opt out for Quote Posts and Search of course.

Given today's bot spam attack, I think there is a need to add more bot protection.

I'm just posting this since I do want to see Mastodon and Fediverse to succeed. I think the Mastodon Dev needs a sense of urgency as this is our chance to stop #BlueSky and make the Fediverse mainstream.

Also, I do want to see reactions on Vanilla Mastodon too. If they can do that along with adding opt-out quote posts and search while adding groups to bring it up to parity with Calckey, Misskey, and Akkoma, that will be good for the overall competition. Also, reacting posts is fun, I have that patch installed on our Glitch-Soc Mastodon server.

Opps, I reset all the css and badges customizations when I didn't mean to with the update script, so I had to fix that.
