@RaccoonForFriendica a new version 0.2.0 has been released.

Changelog:
🦝 feat: add support for MastodonRedirect;
🦝 feat: export/import app settings to/from JSON;
🦝 feat: export contact list from profile;
🦝 feat: allow changing markup mode in post creation;
🦝 fix: retain scrolling state after navigation;
🦝 fix: newlines after titles in Markdown preview;
🦝 fix: avoid self mention when replying;
🦝 fix: retrieve source to edit post;
🦝 enhancement: populate current app icon value in settings;
🦝 chore: update manual and project documentation;
🦝 chore: typo in Fastlane metadata.

For those who have lost it, there has been a 0.1.1 in the meantime, which was mainly due to a metadata issue which blocked the submission on F-Droid, but it also included:
🦝 feat: add support for alternate (classic) and monochrome app icon;
🦝 fix: rendering images of different heights in carousels;
🦝 fix: rendering GIFs (or images with unbound constraints).

After the app gets published on the stores, we're going to move towards a more predictable release cycle (e.g. monthly stable versions and weekly betas).

Hope you are having fun on Friendica (or Mastodon) and as always #livefasteattrash

"Tesla's vehicles have the highest fatal accident rate among all car brands in America, according to a recent study that analyzed data from the U.S. Fatality Analysis Reporting System."

Tesla's fatality rate is double the national average. Driver behavior is a contributing factor to the high number of deaths (i.e. shitty-driving assholes are more likely to buy Teslas and die or kill someone else while driving them).

Another Brexit fiasco.... British cheeses failed to get to the World Cheese Awards in Portugal as they failed to clear customs in time (now being from a non-EU country).

In the scale of the disasters of Brexit its not going to to be a big thing (although it will be for the frustrated cheese makers), but is emblematic of how myopic the Brexiters were about the impact of their successful plan to leave Europe....

Super nice #macOS related fixes upcoming in #LibreOffice💪❤️
macOS dictation had a problem where dictated text would only show, once you make a pause speaking. That was inconvenient as it is much easier to gather your thoughts when spoken text appears immediately.

Another issue that has been ongoing for many many years was, that when you scrolled the sheet in calc and while scrolling was still ongoing pressed cmd for some operation, the zoom level would change. This extremely annoying behavior is no longer.

Both fixes done by #PatrickLuby of #NeoOffice - we should all thank him!

Will take some time for those to trickly down into stable, but 25.2 will bring those fixes for sure.

Na pouličních lampách jsou štítky s unikátními čísly. Ty slouží k jednoduché, rychlé a přesné identifikaci místa, kde stojí lampa.

To se hodí např. při komunikaci s záchranáři.

This is an experiment. Please boost.

Here's the idea: This post is going first to my followers, then, if they boost it, to other people. This domain has been registered for only this experiment. I should see in my web server's logs when mastodon instances start crawling the site for info. Then maybe also some curious humans.

I just want to play with my monitoring a bit :)

The most popular curl download – by a malware

During October 2015 the curl web site sent out 1127 gigabytes of data. This was the first time we crossed the terabyte limit within a single month.
