When I haven't been reading in a little while and there's a small backlog of posts (resulting in the "LOAD MORE" arm here) I really wish that tapping it would load the backlogged posts *above* where I am in the timeline. (So that I keep my place in the timeline)
Right now, if I tap LOAD MORE it would take that George Takei toot and shove it way down beneath all of the additional items that appear.
Pressing Load More sometimes works, other times it does not load any messages at all, and there is a few hours gap in my home timeline. Tusky Test 20.0-db91b4db Android 13.

One of the people who did the most to help make Twitter popular -- because his application made it better -- calls it quits after Musk and minions pulled the plug last week on him and many others. He sees great possibilities in the protocol underlying Mastodon, and I can't wait to see what he and people like him do to restore a truly decentralized web: mastodon.social/@chockenberry/…

"What bothers me about Twitterrific’s final day is that it was not dignified. There was no advance notice for its creators, customers just got a weird error, and no one is explaining what’s going on. We had no chance to thank customers who have been with us for over a decade. Instead, it’s just another scene in their ongoing shit show.
"But I guess that’s what you should expect from a shitty person."

You know what I'd love to get more of in fiction #Submissions for the #LesbianHistoricMotifProject podcast? Stories set outside the white/European/USA default, written by authors with personal connections to their topic.
For instance, there's a fascinating history of female same-sex love in the medieval Islamicate world. I'd love to see those stories.
$0.08/word for up to 5000 words is $400 -- think about it.
The Lesbian Historic Motif Podcast will be open for submissions in January 2023 for short stories in the lesbian historic fiction genre, to be produced in audio format for the podcast, as well as published in text on the website. Technical Details
Comme ces clients tiers Twitter, les bots du réseau d'entraide santetoctoc.medica.im , qui regroupe 8845 professionnels de santé et étudiants en santé, dépendent de l'accès à l'API de Twitter.
Musk peut suspendre notre accès à tout moment. C'est déjà arrivé, pour certaines fonctionnalités, pour un temps limité. J'ai également perdu l'accès à un compte (infirmierebot sur Twitter)
question très naïve par curiosité : un forum « à l'ancienne » ne fait-il pas mieux l'affaire que twitter pour des communautés d'entre-aide comme celles-ci ? Je me demande quelle est la valeur ajoutée à utiliser twitter pour ça.
@nicoco oh si ça serait nettement plus pratique et d'ailleurs j'en ai créé un avec Discourse, tout pro de santé vérifié sur Twitter y a directement accès via oauth, mais une centaine de personnes ont testé et puis ont deserté. La valeur ajoutée de twitter, c'est le graphe social et le fait qu'il y a plusieurs raisons d'y être pour un pro de santé: se tenir informé, suivre des confrères du monde entier, suivre les agences officielles et en même temps répondre à des questions doctoctoc...
ha oui, l'effet réseau... Celui qui fait que tout libriste convaincu que je suis, j'utilise divers services fermés « minitelliques » malgré tout. Merci pour ta réponse.
Should be stable enough to be released to the public (though its code was public from the very beginning). adbsync lets you sync directories between your #Android device(s) and your (#Linux) PC without any special app, just utilizing things like rsync, adb, adbfs – and jq (to parse the JSON config file).
Before I checked the Readme in the repository, I wondered how adbsync compares to adbfs and Syncthing. I checked and I'm pleasantly surprised!
I'm in the process of migrating all my devices to use Syncthing (via Wireguard). But I will give it a think! Sometimes I wondered whether some faster, more controlled, and direct means might be easier for some use cases. adbsync looks like it has potential here! (I used USB-cable-based data transfer and like the idea for various reasons.)
@floppy Syncthing requires a client on each device involved, which I didn't want. SSH would have been ideal, but again is not available per default on the Android devices. So this approach was the best way for me. Unfortunately adbfs has issues with some attributes (especially timestamps), so I had to work around that. But apart from this, it works fine for me with 3 devices: what's not connected (or disabled in the JSON) is simply skipped, all else processed properly. (1/2)
@floppy (2/2) Give it a try and please let me know how it went – and especially where things need fixing, including the instructions. You can use the issue tracker there, a ping here on the Fedi is also fine. I hope you enjoy it – and if so, you might also enjoy one of my other projects: Adebar (also on Codeberg) 😃
I was bothered by similar issues (installing Syncthing, lack of SSH server). Will definitely try out! Also I'm curious how well it performs on non-rooted devices (that performant, but pesky Fire HDX).
I like the rationale behind Adebar! Will have a closer look soon!
@floppy adbsync does not use any "rooted features". It uses adbfs-rootless (sic!) to access the Android file system, and some (rootless) ADB calls to adjust timestamps (when syncing TO the device, as adbfs doesn't support all attributes). Depending on the directory size, it' not the fastest (I e.g. notice syncing my TiBu/Seedvault backup directories always takes several minutes even when just synced 5 minutes before). (1/2)
@floppy (2/2) but then, high performance is not on the top of my list, reliability is. Once I'm satisfied all is working as it should (which meanwhile seems the case, hence the tag; I even dared enabling deletion with one-way syncs) I'll set up a nightly cron job at e.g. 4 am. No need to watch it live. Devices connected at the time will be synced, and I can watch the logs anytime later if I wish to.
I think it's a pretty elegant solution to use adbfs for elaborate syncing. I tried to go that direction in the past, but I think my old hardware got in the way in the end.
I had a look at adbsync and I like it a lot! I had some minor issues (details follow), but it seems to be working nicely. Pretty impressive you went all the way through directory tree traversal and working around the timestamp limitations!
I still get some strange rsync errors, but they don't seem to impact anything.
rsync: [sender] readdir("[local-path]/[android-path]/."): Input/output error (5) rsync error: some files/attrs were not transferred (see previous errors) (code 23) at main.c(1326) [sender=3.2.4]
@floppy 1) don't use spaces in names, they always cause trouble 2) could you please put that into an issue in the repo, or a PR? 3) yes, those errors happen when syncing TO the device, Guess why I had to work around that with some special rsync options and manual timestamp adjustments 🙈 That's caused by adbfs, see github.com/spion/adbfs-rootles…
When copying files over adbfs to the device, timestamps are lost – the file shows up as were it just created anew on the device. This happens even when explicitly specifying to keep timestamps (e.g...
1) I never use spaces myself (for that very reason), but I'm too lazy to rename files people sent me. 2) Will try! But setting up a Codeberg account is on my list of a while and not sure when I will get to it.
That is really true, at least as far as only the actual account creation is concerned.
But before that I wanted to settle on some kind of way of handling my online identities. For privacy reasons I want to keep different interests, stuff to be put online (so much), and social interactions deliberately dissociated. As for in this case, I haven't completely settled on e.g. a proper online name for the nerdier interests. ("floppy" is nice, but wasn't intended to be final. 🙂)
I haven't made it to Codeberg yet, so in the interest of not delaying it until I forget, I'll drop some thoughts here quickly. I hope that's ok. :)
In terms of documentation, I think it might be good for people less familiar with rsync to point out that in the config's .devices[].sync[].{devdir,pcdir} should keep the trailing slash. (Or some handling in the script might be nice.)
@floppy Sorry, but here those hints get lost. If you don't want to make an account at Codeberg, you can find my mail address in the imprint of my website 😉
And good point with the trailing slash – had that in mind but always forget…
I fully agree that other forms of communication work better for such topics, but it's a bit tricky for me right now-now. (Hopefully that changes again soon.)
I prefer to log to stdout only, which afaict is the unspecified option. If you think this might be interesting to others, this functionality could be documented explicitly. :) (Alternatively maybe logging to a file, but really these are just some pointers without acute need.)
I'm pretty swamped at the moment, so I might need a few more days, but I'll give adbsync a more thorough test and get back to you in a while!
@floppy log to stdout only: "logfile":"none" – and maybe 2>&1 if you really want to re-route errors there too. And yes, that is documented explicitly – see inside the doc/ dir 😉
Logging to a file: Sure, same thing and also documented: "logfile":"/path/to/logfile". Everything that's not just empty, "none" or "syslog" is expected to be a file name.
@floppy with the latest commit, adbsync makes sure devdir & pcdir have a trailing slash (if not it adds it), so docu must only point out it must be dirs (not a file name) – so it's your last wish I just implemented
Further, no longer adjusting timestamps on push. Guess what I just discovered: "adb push" supports a `--sync` parameter only pushing newer files & taking care for timestamps. "adb pull" unfortunately does not support that or rsync+adbfs would only be needed for "--delete"…
I am not subscribed to many issues or projects, but incidentally I am for adbfs-rootless (for a long time actually) and incidentally I found your comments in my email inbox today. :)
Thank you for the update also! adb's parameter sounds like good news, at least partially. Maybe they fix the "pull" sub-command too some time.
Thanks for taking care of the trailing slashes! 😉 I think other people checking out the project will benefit greatly there. :)
Several months ago, I was very, very bored. So, I took some recordings of hard drives, an electric screwdriver, a talking multimeter, an electric toothbrush, WWV, and a few other things, and made this. I'm still not really sure why. Lots of FX automation.
Let's pour one out for third-party Twitter clients:
Apps that shaped UI conventions, pioneered a market, and in many ways reinvented how we communicate online – unceremoniously killed off by a clown who thinks he's the smartest guy around because he has money.
Late yesterday, The Information reported that it had seen internal Twitter Slack communications confirming that the company had intentionally cut off third-party Twitter app access to its APIs.
Honestly Twitter’s been going that direction for years. It’s the reason awesome applications like TTYtter stopped being developed. Sure, the community picked up the slack when TTYtter’s developer got sick of Twitter’s crap and left, but as far as I can tell, even development on Oysttyer has stalled for years. Yes, it does suck, but it’s really just business as usual for these walled garden, nonfederating companies. Look at the state of Facebook’s API. These days it’s practically useless unless you’re using it to try to talk people out of money, which is why fbcmd is gone and nothing has really been able to replace it.
I sampled our #dishwasher with my #Samsung #Galaxy S10e, threw it into #LogicPro, added #Valhalla #Supermassive to it and automated a few parameters and got this very freaky little thing. You would not want to hear this late at night...
@munchkinbear Oh god, it sounds like a robot from the planet oh shit it's coming. And now it's going around and around nope, I'm done. *shrieks* I love it, though, to be honest.
@Signor Amministratore No, we asked around yesterday but it looks like only the major Twitter apps were targeted. Since Friendica admins have to set up an app each, they probably are flying under the radar.
So far, Twitter is still working here. I'm debating whether to shut it off for new users or even whether or not I should keep it on my own user account. For now, everything I post on my Friendica still shows up on Twitter, but I'm sure there will come a time when they turn that off or ban me from Twitter for using a third-party app to post. For now, I'm keeping it turned on for myself, but I see myself being forced to leave Twitter completely at some point due to the all-too-great power of one man to bend a whole social network to his own will.
So within minutes after I post that it still works for me, I think Twitter just killed my bridge addon. I have not received a single tweet in my Friendica timeline for about an hour now, and my last Friendica post that made it to Twitter found itself there early this afternoon. Incidentally, my Friendica seems to be running a bit faster today, probably because it no longer receives tweets and adds them to the database. I did check to be sure that my worker daemon is in fact still running. So I guess I must disable my twitter addon for sure now. It was a nice ride Twitter, but we have come to the end of the line and must part ways now. I'm off to the greener pastures of the Fediverse, even though it will no longer post to any of the walled gardens on my behalf. Twitter has only been a fallback for me for a while now, and they just took that fallback away, so it's all good really.
And now tweets are back on my Friendica timeline. Well, I guess I'll just keep this addon working for now. At least I can use it to tell people where I've gone once Twitter kills off my Friendica app once and for all.
@Kyle 🎙 🎶 I'm seeing however that this disruption of compatible Twitter apps, many of which target Apple users, is driving a new wave of migration to mastodon, by Apple users off Twitter. It's a pity that there is no nice friendly app for Apple users... 😢
Twitter apps are still broken and Musk is still silent! News about Twitter integration in Friendica?
I can confirm that, after a mysterious stop that coincided with the first moments of failure of the third-party apps, I too started posting on twitter from Friendica! All good, while it lasts! @Anders Rytter Hansen

The correct headline here would blame the system that allowed good-faith actors to easily break a high-impact nationwide production system by accident.
One thing I really like about Mastodon? Third-party apps are incredibly easy to register and incredibly hard to reliably block. The downside to this is that things like what Cambridge Analytica did are incredibly easy to build and incredibly hard to stop
The next alpha of 0 A.D. will feature an experimental Vulkan backend! It took 1.5 years of refactoring to get there but it will open new opportunities in the future!
You can test it and report bugs by downloading the development version of the game.
I was doing different refactorings of our engine for last 1.5 years. It's allowed me to add a new backend (graphics API) - Vulkan. It's relatively new API (as D3D12) which allows us to have a more predictable and stable performance.
Once that's available, while I'm still in transition from Twitter to Mastodon, I'm hoping to use Buffer to cross-post some of the links I share. (both on Twitter & Mastodon)
