I just found it presumptuous. Who ever said it shouldn’t be upstreamed? Trialing new designs in your own space is a pretty common pattern and there’s ample history of good ideas being adopted upstream once proven. Or sometimes you just migh

What do routine dependency updates look like with this? Can I `bundle outdated` and `bundle update`?

It’s not just you; I grimaced at the wording on first read.

Thanks. From Supernault’s framing I’d expected generic terms like sepia, grayscale, invert, etc. but actually they’ve reproduced forty arbitrary, artsy words that sound like they could have come from a fashion brand name generator. Hard to

What are the names of the filters? I’m not familiar with either app and the commit “renaming” them only inserts the letter `i` in a UI template.

It boggles me how they ever decided that requiring touch screen interaction while driving is an acceptable default. “Alert! Tap this little region of a touch screen now or else your map will be replaced with a route that you’ve had no opp

Yep, from experience this is the way. No talk about federation and instances, just “your account is at somewhere” and choosing where is a social question not a technical one. And acknowledge that social questions are messy. “Which cafeter

Shift+Click to select a range is so second nature by now I don’t think it would have occurred to me to look for (or on the flip side, create) a dedicated “all” button.

If you want? Mastodon profiles have user-definable fields so linking to accounts on other platforms is easy. Not many people are posting Twitter handles right now though.

Speaking from three years’ experience on a single-user instance, Mastodon just isn’t designed with this use in mind. Having the custom domain is neat but for now comes at the cost of an awkward and isolated experience. Some of that could be

The CMO’s conspiracy theorizing is comically out of touch: > I think what we’re looking at is a dogpile that’s being organized somewhere. There’s obviously a Discord or a forum somewhere. I don’t think this is organic […] I think there a

In my experience the realtime chat agents appear pressured to clear issues immediately at the expense of correctness. Sending an async message gives the respondent time to research things or ask for help instead of making up answers on the

Legitimate notifications from web apps are still useful. (e.g. being mentioned in real-time chat) The problem is the rampant spamming of the permissions prompt itself and ensuing inadvertent acceptance. So the practical solution is to close

I don’t recognize the term “affiliate links” but it used to be common to have a vaguely purposed Links section on a website. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Link_page Or maybe they meant webrings?
