Apple Just Lost Me 4 months ago

They certainly have more choices than implementing in this manner, and can choose to not implement it as well.

Absolving Apple of responsibility gives more than they deserve.

great for astral, sucks for uv. was nice to have sane tooling at least for a few years, thanks for the gift.

I was wondering the same thing. My best guess is that is to guard against operator misuse. Like usb-a only plugging in one way. Anything that is secret will never accidentally print to stdout. String interpolation in bash with `—option $empty` might be safer than `8<$empty`. Have to explore more but yeah, this is a new pattern for me as well.

I am describing what I see on Element X on iOS today. If someone replies to threads, it is not hidden and navigable on this client. Even after switching the labs feature on, the app was showing the thread interspersed with the rest of the conversation.

Uninstalling the app, reinstalling, and making sure the labs option is turned on before navigating to a room with threads, is behaving how I expect.

So maybe, its a bug that the room does not re-render after toggling that setting.

I felt bad making a long thread once I opened Element X and saw it didn't have support for threads.

Someone let me know later that threads are hidden behind a Labs setting, but it only allows the client to reply to threads, but still exposes the entire thread inline for the channel which sucks up all the air in the chat.

Pre-launch I seem to recall using an entirely different product with the same name, that supported CUE or HCL and had a better gui editor. I think post acquisition they scrapped it for the current (and IMO) worse reskin.

Good question - I am just putting up robots.txt, and seeing little to no decrease in traffic. I have not tried verifying that server logs user agent corresponds to specific IP addresses. Do you have resources where all the AI bots post their list of IP addresses? Would be easier to just ban by IP completely. From what I've read these bots rotate and use residential blocks so I am not sure I can even see all of them.

My experience disagrees with the 'Respects robots.txt' column for most of the bots listed. Would love to see more details of how they determine that metric.

I am having trouble imagining the failure mode you are trying to avoid.

It sounds like threads implementation of federation is broken. What effects does toggling that federation setting on or off do?

Like if someone is following “duplicate” accounts of yours and therefore would see double posts, that person can unfollow one. Still double work for you that kind of sucks.

Scuttlebutt had some work done on publicly declaring two identities as the same, I wonder what that would look like for posts. Like a post-id or simple equality comparison or hash could work server side or client side.

Helps the maintainer focus their efforts during review. If you wrote that exact sentence, a maintainer would keep "understanding of the codebase" as a place for potential sources of incorrect assumptions higher in mind than otherwise.

Love the relaxation of git-specific guardrails to make jj workflows better.

Can't wait until MAS is just part of synapse/dendrite, will be a lot easier to install and maintain than the extra moving parts.
