@prologic@twtxt.net foggy! I bet it’s hot now. 😊

@thecanine@twtxt.net “Now you can finally use the fucking webapp.” LOL. So glad I don’t have to deal with all that!

@stigatle that’s so cool! Wish family would let me buy a bike; they fear too much for my life to allow. LOL.

That bike is $8,000 here. Cheap, but not too cheap! The gear you are wearing (boots, gloves, pants and jackets, and helmets) aren’t cheap here either! Fun hobby, nevertheless. :-) Enjoy, and ride with care!

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org see https://twtxt.net/conv/b4ry7ma. I searched on Yarn for “saturday”, then sorted by “newest”. :-)

@prologic@twtxt.net that’s how my face looked, for sure! 😅

Something that showed this morning, after clicking “Discover”.

@prologic@twtxt.net somebody is playing with a new toy.

@prologic@twtxt.net people went to sleep? I mean, at 03:00 I am on my second, or third sleep. 😜

Oh, AEST! No idea, but it might have been @xuu@txt.sour.is. LOL.

@xuu@txt.sour.is wow, such a remote place, eh? I imagine you living somewhere in the Himalayas, driving to town once every couple of months to resupply.

Don’t get me wrong, it is attractive, until my Internets are threaten. Then all bets are off. 😂

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org lovely! I would have picked this one as a cover.

Xuu has shutdown his pod now, probably to avoid losing connectivity.

@xuu@txt.sour.is need a modem? I got a couple of 33.6K, and one 28.8K. :-P

@prologic@twtxt.net nope, I see no images. If you go to Stig pod, it has all images broken.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org they all showed fine right after posting. I can’t see them now. Not even Stig avatar shows on the home pod.

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci that’s so weird! I wonder what in the world is causing it. Hopefully @prologic@twtxt.net has an insight.

@stigatle I am guilty of being silent myself. I have been more active on the Fediverse these days. Having a super easy to run ActivityPub server helps! :-)

welcome back!

@stigatle woah! You are gone for a while, but when you return, you truly bring some “goodies” with you! :-) Great clicks, mate, love them!

“Some users experienced message delivery delays beginning last night that primarily impacted linked devices like Signal Desktop. We just deployed a fix. Affected users might see failed delivery notices while Signal automatically catches up. We apologize for the inconvenience!”

@prologic@twtxt.net well…

“And for that, we send our heartfelt thanks and apologies for the inconvenience,” the email read, according to a screenshot shared by the source. The same email was also posted on X by someone else. “To express our gratitude, your next cup of coffee or late night snack is on us!”

With apology offers like these, who would remember? 🤣

@prologic@twtxt.net that works fine when interacting with people you know–and they know you–well. On The Tubes it’s easy to be misunderstood, or getting a tone other than the intended applied to your message. It easy devolves into a “plonkable” stage. 😅

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I do that constantly, on the Fediverse. I often type long replies, disagreeing, or agreeing with someone, read it over and over, just to realise there isn’t anything to gain by it, and scrape it.

Small extract:

“Conceptually, Advanced Data Protection is simple: All CloudKit Service keys that were generated on device and later uploaded to the available-after-authentication iCloud Hardware Security Modules (HSMs) in Apple data centers are deleted from those HSMs and instead kept entirely within the account’s iCloud Keychain protection domain. They are handled like the existing end-to-end encrypted service keys, which means Apple can no longer read or access these keys.”

@mckinley@twtxt.net see Advanced Data Protection for iCloud, and how to enabled it.

@prologic@twtxt.net I was going to say, it could be a setting. I prefer infinite scrolling, but I know there is a strong movement against it. 😅

Another URL that breaks the parser. 😱

@prologic@twtxt.net Messages are [e2e encrypted](https://www.apple.com/privacy/features/#:~:text=End%2Dto%2Dend%20encryption%20protects%20your%20iMessage%20and%20FaceTime,they%20can’t%20be%20accessed%20without%20your%20passcode.). SMS/MMS are not, but that’s not Apple’s fault. You can configure it, so it doesn’t fall back to SMS/MMS if that’s what you want.

Apple isn’t implementing RCS because of Google (which, arguably, doesn’t even support it). 😂

@prologic@twtxt.net less noise on the discover view, right?

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org not what you want. Instead of an infinite scrolling, it will render until a point, then give you a link to load the next batch. Rinse and repeat.

I tried Signal, and I didn’t like it. I don’t like the interface, I don’t like one has to rely on a relatively small company infrastructure. It has bugs, and issues: sometimes messages will deliver, sometimes they will not.

Nothing has been more stable for me (as an Apple user, that is) than Messages. It comes with the OS, it is beautiful, and it just works.

@prologic@twtxt.net do it! 😊

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I think the fact we can see posts from it in here (twtxt.net) is odd. It means someone (withing this Yarn pod?) follows it, no?

I asked @prologic@twtxt.net and got no answer, but I wonder if there is admin-only tool built-in on Yarn, that allows the admin to search which user(s) follow a certain feed (for moderation purposes, or otherwise).

@prologic@twtxt.net indeed.

I wonder who follows this one. Is there a way for a pod admin to know this, @prologic@twtxt.net?

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I feel your pain like my own. No matter what I do, I am always outnumbered by the ignoramus in the family. It is like bashing one’s head on a brick wall.
