Thank you so much for supporting us and keeping this blade sharp and useful for 20 more years! 💙 🩱


Hey @fdroid Just now I was writing a fairly long e-mail in @thunderbird when it updated and stopped abruptly. I lost the contents of my e-mail, it wasn't even in the drafts folder.

I would much prefer not to be interrupted with an update while working in an app, but if that can't be avoided then have the app shut down gracefully so it saves work in progress.

Is this a known issue? Should I file a bug report? A feature enhancement request?

Thx for all the other great work, tho!

in reply to Bob Jonkman

Thanks for tagging us in this - it's good to know in case we have people reporting this issue on our end!


@RaccoonForFriendica new version 0.1.0-beta21 available for testing!

Changelog:
🦝 add option to load media only when connected over a WiFi network;
🦝 add option to open web pages in internal viewer;
🦝 default visibility for replies and warning if higher visibility than original post;
🦝 prevent changing visibility in post edits;
🦝 make plain text mode the default choice for composition;
🦝 remove "other" section in login;
🦝 improved video player;
🦝 render custom emojis inside poll options;
🦝 layout fixes: chat title, user items in inbox, loading indicators in buttons;
🦝 fix occasional crash in profile screen;
🦝 add more unit tests;
🦝 several dependency updates.

If things go well, this may be the final round of tests before the first stable release. The last bit will probably be making crash reports opt-out by default.

I'm also very pleased to inform you that the app has been accepted by IzzyOnDroid, so installing it is a lot easier if you use it or have its source added to your FDroid app.

In the meantime #livefasteattrash!

Ciao ti do il mio input iniziale: al prinicipio ero un po' confuso... Lo stream di default segue più lo stile Mastodon che quello di Friendica, ma dopo un paio di cambi sono riuscito a farlo più simile a come io uso la WebUI, sebbene sono rimasto col dubbio se il tab "subscription" mostra anche le ricerche salvate.

Un'opzione che ho visto che non è ancora presente è quello di lasciare la barra dei comandi fissa, spero puoi mettere questa richiesta nel tuo todo-list.

in reply to ❄️ freezr ❄️

@ l'opzione principale per rendere la timeline più "usabile" è abilitare l'opzione "Escludi risposte dalla timeline".

Quello che si vede nel feed "Iscrizioni" è il risultato di una chiamata GET v1/timelines/home che fa parte delle API Mastodon esposte dai server Friendica e che, da quel ho capito, include anche i post contenenti gli hashtag seguiti (in gergo Friendica le "ricerche salvate").

Cosa intendi con "tenere fissa la barra dei comandi"? La barra di navigazione inferiore (Timeline, Esplora, Inbox, Profilo) che sparisce quando scorri? Se sì, è certamente fattibile tenerla fissa, posso aggiungere un'opzione nella schermata delle impostazioni, avevo fatto la stessa identica cosa nel client per Lemmy ma pensavo non interessasse a nessuno questa funzione.

Mitico! 🤩

La barra di navigazione inferiore

Si quella, non mi veniva il nome in italiano... 😅
A me la barra che appare e scompare fa venire il mal di testa... 😵‍💫
Apprezzerei se potessi tenerla fissa! 🙏

Grazie! 🙏

in reply to ❄️ freezr ❄️

@❄️ freezr ❄️ scusami, una domanda: tengo fisse la barra superiore e quella inferiore, ma il "floating action button" (ovvero il pallozzo colorato che permette di creare un post, aggiungere un elemento o rispondere) in basso a destra? blocco anche lui?

ps. Termine tecnico "pallozzo".

in reply to 𝔻𝕚𝕖𝕘𝕠 🦝🧑🏻‍💻🍕

@𝔇𝔦𝔢𝔤𝔬 🦝🧑🏻‍💻🍕

Se proprio vuoi essere un figo puoi mettere una opzione per fissarla in alto e in basso... 😏

Personalmente odio il "pallozzo" e lo preferirei integrato nella barra di navigazione come nell'immagine postata.

Io sono un grande sostenitore di Diaspora, non so se hai mai usato il wrapper per Android chiamato Dandelior, potrebbe essere fonte d'inspirazione: sopratutto per come gestisce le risposte.

Ad esempio io ho una vera e propria intolleranza al "farting mode" stile Mastodon, dove le risposte sono totalmente sconnesse al loro "post" di appartenenza... 👎

Grazie! 🙏

Everything we have invented to replace email has been on balance at least one order of magnitude worse than email.

The company I enjoy working for is hiring a new Product Manager, who'd be working very closely with me.

The role is Australian/Remote. The office is in Sydney but there's team members all over Australia.

The details are in the job posting, but if you have any questions feel free to ask me any questions publicly or via DM.

If you are not a PM but have some in your network, please boost for visibility! I'd love to work with cool fedi people!

I have a USB #Sdr Dongle and a spare #RaspberryPiZero.
I can't hear our home's wireless doorbell from my office.
Can I combine these two things into a solution?
Anyone?


Hey folks! I'm getting back into Thunderbird as my main email app on Windows and I'm on the hunt for some great add-ons.

I'm especially interested in **accessibility-focused add-ons** that play nice with NVDA and JAWS screen readers. But I'm also curious about any **cool add-ons** that make Thunderbird even better, even if they're not specifically for accessibility.

Got any recommendations? Share them here!

Tagging @mastoblind and @main to spread the word. This is for my fellow blind users, but anyone with a favorite Thunderbird add-on, please chime in!

@thunderbird There's an extension called TBKeys that allows you to reassign shortcuts and even create new functions: github.com/wshanks/tbkeys


What if we could convince all Canadians that the NDP is the safe anti-Cons vote everywhere? Minimize the vote splitting, but to the left, and not to the (neoliberal) right?

... I think we could win.

OK. I haven't done one of these for a while. Let's play a predictive text game. Write the words "I am so" and let predictive text handle the rest! I'll start the madness.

I am sorry for the inconvenience caused by the situation in this country and will not allow it to happen in the future

I am so sorry for you and the family and I hope you have a wonderful weekend Well that had some kind of actual sense...

Not sure what's going on, but when sending some messages using Outlook from Microsoft 365 in the last couple days, I've noticed that my writing has been replaced with what appears to be gibberish, or at least weird symbols. It seems to happen when I use the Send Again feature. Anyone know what may be causing this behavior?


Hmmmm. "cool" feature of some IX's combined with some IX participants.

First, find a IX address that is not in use:

root@linx-ns:~# ping 195.66.231.230
PING 195.66.231.230 (195.66.231.230) 56(84) bytes of data.
^C
--- 195.66.231.230 ping statistics ---
1 packets transmitted, 0 received, 100% packet loss, time 0ms

Then hard set it's neighbour mac address to something that is not on the IXP
root@linx-ns:~# ip neigh replace 195.66.231.230 lladdr de:ad:ad:dd:dd:dd dev enp129s0f0.700

Then set a destination route to go via the mac-address-that-does-not-exist
root@linx-ns:~# ip route add 9.9.9.9/32 via 195.66.231.230

and then ping it
root@linx-ns:~# ping 9.9.9.9
PING 9.9.9.9 (9.9.9.9) 56(84) bytes of data.
From 195.66.226.119: icmp_seq=1 Redirect Host(New nexthop: 195.66.225.238)
64 bytes from 9.9.9.9: icmp_seq=1 ttl=63 time=0.720 ms
64 bytes from 9.9.9.9: icmp_seq=1 ttl=63 time=0.756 ms (DUP!)
64 bytes from 9.9.9.9: icmp_seq=1 ttl=63 time=1.47 ms (DUP!)
^C
--- 9.9.9.9 ping statistics ---
1 packets transmitted, 1 received, +2 duplicates, 0% packet loss, time 0ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.720/0.981/1.468/0.344 ms

:wow-horse: Cool right??

What is happening here is nuts on many different levels. To start, the non existent MAC address forces this IX (LINX) to treat any packets send to as "BUM" traffic, LINX could have prevented this by using static MAC like quite a lot of the other big ones do.

That however does not explain why we got ping responses... It turns out some routers on the peering LAN don't check if the destination MAC address for a packet is their own before forwarding the traffic! in this case 3 different LINX member routers saw my unknown unicast packet and was like "sure, why not, I'll route that!", and the packet routed all the way through to 9.9.9.9, and a response came back to me.

Mental!



Back in the 90s when I used AOL, Wired magazine had a forum. One day a new user arrived and said she was married to Elwood Edwards, who was the voice that said “You’ve Got Mail!”. So we suggested a bunch of other things he should record in that voice— “You want fries with that?”, “You’ve got credit card debt!”, etc. He recorded them! You can listen to them here: aolsucks.org/aolsound.htm

I know it's not even Thanksgiving but I just had to listen to my favorite, secular, absolutely non-religious Christmas song; Chiron Beta Prime by Jonathan Coulton.
I absolutely love the traditional religious Christmas songs but that one is my favorite non-religious piece.


We are looking for #hardwareDonations:

If anyone has old servers, drives and equipment and shipping to/in Germany is not a problem, we appreciate your offers.

If you work for a company, we could eventually figure out donation receipts, too.

(Target location is Berlin, pickup in vicinity is not a problem)

Specifically, we could currently make use of SFF-8643 or SFF-8087 cables, if you have some spare 😉

Sometimes I'll just start looking through what's new on AO3 Harry Potter, and damn, then I find some good ones!!! Yay!!! Although I really need to finish sorting what I have on my drive still...
in reply to Sean Randall

@cachondo To me, yes, it seems so... but that does depend on what you like and what you won't read.
in reply to Sean Randall

@cachondo I really won't know till I start reading. But the summaries grabbed me.
in reply to Sean Randall

@cachondo I'm a huge Snape fan so anything Snape rescuing Harry, which is one of the ones I found... I like Snape/Granger so... one of those, and I found another that was inspired by this unfinished series about a girl Harry going to Hogwarts but pretending to be a boy called Rigel Black.
in reply to Sean Randall

@cachondo And that last one I now have to go through and figure out how many offshoots there are.


Ah, I see the overwhelmingly billionaire-owned legacy media has shifted seamlessly from normalizing that orange blivet to begging for donations to "fight" him. Again.

You'd think they'd find a different scam, but "stick with what works", I guess.

Oops, sorry, my fault.



Nový Median ukazuje 7 stran ve Sněmovně, ale pro mnohé strany je to dost nejisté. Na nejnižší hodnotu za několik let spadla SPD a jen těsně by se dostala do Sněmovny. Naopak posilují Motoristé, zatímco Přísaha je na poloviční hodnotě. To může změnit poměry i v jejich případné koalici/spolupráci.
