I'm exploring a new theme for @IceCubesApp, glow in the dark. Very low opacity colors. It's amazing when reading in a dark room.

@dimillian @IceCubesApp I like that very much

@dimillian I’m a little bit jealous.

It's funny how I often feel incredibly uncomfortable here because I can’t really talk about generative AI, OpenAI stuff, innovation etc… because some of the crowd is just toxic about it.
Even on X, you don’t get that kind of people flaming in your mentions because they think they’re on such a high horse.
I can have whatever opinion I want and you need to calm down.
Get over it. Generative AI is here to stay and so many workflow and tools will get improved because of it.

@dimillian You are right, there’s a lot of condemnation on Mastodon and a desire to show superiority. I think I’ve done it in the past but hope I’ve learned to be better.

Small relax during #VernissageWeb development. Application badge is now supporter (when we receive any notification push counter is automatically refreshed) and I improved a little bit notifications screen. I’m super happy how notification pushes are working now 😊. This is must have feature for any social network platform. Am I right?

@mczachurski Yes, definitely. It’s odd how some fedi platforms don’t support notification push.

Web Push notifications implemented. Even on iPhone with application added on home screen (as a bookmark, PWA application) we can enjoy notifications 😎. Added push notifications for native applications should be super easy now.

Help! is anyone good with iOS Shortcuts and has @IceCubesApp ? I thought I knew what I was doing but I can’t get any of the shortcuts to work. I must be doing something wrong as even these simple shortcuts don’t work. All that happens is IceCubes opens in the post editor with default theme. I’ve checked permissions etc and can’t see where the error is. 🙏 Thanks

@IceCubesApp not an expert but I thought this would work but it just opens the composer with a blank post? I am sure I’m doing something wrong.

A few months ago I decided to start writing my own server for Vernissage for a couple of reasons. Firstly (and most importantly) I wanted to see what ActivityPub and Fediverse were all about. It was just an experiment.

Over time, however, I found that the iOS client would never be what I wanted it to be if it depends on a platform over which I had no influence. And over which its users also have no (or minimal) influence.

Today I know that it was a good decision.

PhilipKing,
@PhilipKing@mastodon.social avatar

@mczachurski I agree, I’m excited by the idea of Vernissage server.

It's official. AirPods Pro is a piece of crap. Six months after purchase, both headphones began to crackle when walking with the noise reduction on. Both headphones replaced under warranty. After a year and a half exactly the same thing. It is impossible to use noise reduction. Warranty expired. Never again.

@mczachurski same here. Wouldn’t buy again.

@3dcandy @mkarliner and the new version of the data protection legislation seems to be stuck going through parliament.

PhilipKing,
@PhilipKing@mastodon.social avatar

@3dcandy @mkarliner Metas big problem is that they’ve never put enough resource into moderation, trust & safety (hence bad headlines about suicides, bad actors, illegal images etc) but have put money into increasingly complicated privacy busting advertising services (because they brought in lots of money). Now legislators are tightening up privacy, they are on the back foot.

I'm honestly considering a paid verification program in Pixelfed to help sustain the project long term.

It would be a centralized list, and would be present in clients, regardless of server.

A blue checkmark would not only help our project financially, but would also provide a trusted visual mark of verification.

Thoughts?

#boostsAppreciated

PhilipKing,
@PhilipKing@mastodon.social avatar

@dansup I’m not a fan of this for three reasons:
Being centralised goes against the very nature of the fediverse and leaves it open to bad actors.
There’s already a successful verification system as used by Mastodon. At the very least it will cause confusion.
These paid verification systems don’t really verify you only show that you’ve paid.

Concerning

As you walk by, "The sign collects a [cell phone] device’s unique address, which is encrypted before it’s sent back to Soofa, the company said. Soofa described the collection as “passive.”"

Soofa tries hard to convince people there is no threat because THEY don't share with 3rd parties, but only turn the information over to the municipalities.

Beyond that, though, they can't assure that governments won't share, nor can they vouch for how well municipalities will protect the data.

Very concerning as a privacy issue.

@Jerry Whilst concerning, iPhones and Android Devices generate a random MAC address in these circumstances for privacy reasons. (on some versions of Android you can turn this off)
