Still a lot of work to do tho.

By the way! If you ever had any problems with loging in using Leomard, this update should address that. I noticeds there was a bug with parsing Instance data regarding registration method, which is resolved now :)

…this is literally something an intern could write in a single afternoon.

I guess I am a cross between “Normie” and “Conservative”. I use macOS and Fedora daily, I watch MKBHD but also watch FOSS YouTubers. I use WhatsApp, but only because, in Netherlands, it’s impossible to live without it. I don’t use any Chromium, and I use Firefox, but I also use Safari.

Fuck getting labeled.

I like 2019 more.

Thanks for the feature idea! I’ll add “Block Instance” function to my app.

No problem. Sorry for sounding a bit emotional, I had a rough few days 😅

Well, in case of Gimp for Windows, it also doesn’t help that it uses a modified GTK. So, when you start on Gimp on Windows, the program must load all the GTK libraries first, while on Linux the shared libraries are already loaded.

The issue was me setting “undetermined” as my preferred language. Turns out, you must press “X” in the web ui right next to the preferred language option.

In the essence, preferred language may have “undetermined” and “null” (both displayed in the front-end as “Undetermined”) as a valid entry, while neither being the exact same value in back-end, but being the same for the front-end.

Yeah, that guy is a prick.

That was me. Sorry, was waiting for my brother’s results in the hospital, and I tried to occupy my mind with anything that’s not his health right now. I only slept for 3 hours in the past 32 hours 😅

I’ll try to spell “renaissance” good next time.

It seems easy, but the moment you ask the user to “choose their instance” - you already push away a lot of untechnical people. What is an instance? How do I know which one is good? Will I be able to talk to people on other instances (look at Lemmy, some instances are blocked by other instances)? Why do I even have to choose an instance?

From an UX standpoint, that’s a disaster. Stuff like Lemmy or Mastodon will remain forever a niche, because of that.
