Also working on the Mastodon Android app.

So, no longer requires a username when signing up. You instead get assigned one automatically, of the form "idXXX" where XXX is the ID for your user record. You can change it later in settings if you wish. Current Mastodon versions handle this change no problem.

The username is only visible in two places:

  • The URL of your profile
  • When someone mentions you
    So it's not very important. Definitely not important enough to be a required field when you register.

Dear websites, there's exactly zero cases when I would like to download a PDF instead of viewing it in the browser. Don't do it. Just don't.

(if I'll ever make my own web browser, it would intentionally lack support for the Content-Disposition header)

@matt @evemassacre
I don't want all these "I only want to see this one single time and never again" files cluttering my downloads folder

It finally happened: Twitter changed the domain to x.com. Twitter.com is no more.

@rolle must be a staged rollout... Or is that "tweak new Twitter" extension so good it prevents that redirect?

Mention autocomplete in (desktop only).

Here's an unpopular opinion: Google is outstandingly terrible as the maintainer of Android. Android needs to become a separate entity, preferably a nonprofit, and preferably run by someone who has strong opinions.

@masukomi as a user: pointless redesigns and UI rearrangements all the time. And your device snitching on you in the name of "security" (see SafetyNet).

As an app developer: pointless abstractions on top of the SDK, that change every season, as the only "recommended" way of doing things. Of course you can always still use system APIs directly, which I do, but Google surely acts like you aren't supposed to do that.

@masukomi Apple is also guilty of this all — for one, there isn't a supported way to modify iOS at all, or even just install apps from outside of the app store. Is jailbreaking even still a thing?

On the developer side, Apple also has their own counterpart to the overhyped Jetpack Compose, SwiftUI. And it's also terrible: https://tonsky.me/blog/swiftui/

You can now choose how you see comments in . This is most probably very buggy.

In case someone wants possibly the longest thread on the fediverse for testing purposes, here you go: https://mastodon.social/@brownpau/112322747861701800
With the way I store replies in , this will soon exceed my limit of 256 levels ¯_(ツ)_/¯

I made a FEP for an important part of my groups implementation: https://codeberg.org/fediverse/fep/src/branch/main/fep/db0e/fep-db0e.md

After all these years, finally has this remote interaction thingy when you click a like or share button while logged out.

Reposts are now done in . You can only make "quote-posts", not Announce reposts because Announce is too confusing and doesn't fit my vision. However, Announce reposts are no longer this half-assed thing like they were before. They now show up in people's profiles and use a different icon from my native reposts.

Also: new UI for likes.

New @Vivaldi release. Plenty of good stuff in here. The Feed Reader got special attention this time.

When you go to a page that provides a feed, you can click the feed reader icon in the address bar to follow it.

You can follow news sites and blogs, but did you know that you can follow Youtube channels as well?

With this update, you can now follow subreddits and users on Reddit, as well as repository releases and commits on GitHub.

Enjoy!

@jon @Vivaldi hmm, I currently use NetNewsWire for my RSS feeds, maybe I should give the Vivaldi's RSS reader a try 🤔

I have a question about the picture: where do those 3 traces on the left go?
