@𝗮𝗮𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗽𝗸@𝗮𝗮𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗸𝗶.𝗰𝗼𝗺 good question and I just noticed it was doing that to other @s as well. I’m using the Roma app on iOS. It’s happening automatically and nonsensically when I simply hit the reply arrow.

that's weird. also now this one is full of unicode characters!

pkparecki.com that’s super helpful as I didn’t consider the interface experience here in the app. Also, hilariously, I didn’t even notice your naming has the same exact problem I described. And since I didn’t notice it...that’s says something.

side note...what's going on with "pkparecki .com" in your posts? I've never seen that happen before but I want to make sure it isn't something somehow wrong on my side.

1/2

To my new friends in the Fediverse, who can help me with account naming advice? I setup an instance at a domain that seems reasonable and that I’d like to make the home to my identity: aaronklemm.me

Then I chose a username that seems reasonable, “aaron”. But when my name is already in the URL, this gets redundant and weird. @aaron@aaronklemm.me kinda stinks.

So I need a solution and here’s one idea...

@amolith @Gargron @aaronpk

Yeah this is the problem with the forced email like naming scheme.

I went with my online username at my full domain, even if it's a bit redundant. The problem is that Mastodon assumes the domain name is not super relevant so it shows only the username part in the UI. If you use "social@" then people will refer to you as that on mastodon which looks weird. IMO there's no good solution, but the least bad solution is picking a username that you want people to use to identify you and stick that on your domain. That might even mean "aaronklemm@aaronklemm.me"

@zorn I’ll try to blog this up, actually. It’s the happiest & least overwhelmed I’ve been in... maybe forever.

I would read this!

Would you guys be interested in a fairly intensive video focused on how to colour match cameras manually? 🤔 Here's some samples I did today, each shot in their respective log profile. 🤓🤷‍♂️

For sure! I switch between Sony and Lumix all the time and I would love to have the colors match better.

Anyone got a good idea on providing a daily-digest email list? I already have a daily digest page on my blog http://monkinetic.blog/2020/04/20/

I keep thinking about hooking up Mailchimp to do that, they support creating an email from an RSS feed. It'll take some work to get my stuff formatted to work well in the RSS feed though.

Hey @aaronpk, is there a reason the device authorization grant doesn't specify long polling? Seems like potentially a lot of time and resources left on the table with interval polling.

There was some discussion on this a few years ago.

Generally, polling is not actually a resource problem (e.g. the YouTube app does it), and the simplicity of having just one method (polling) outweighed any theoretical benefits you'd get from long-polling or websockets.

I never realized how awesome faceID on iPhones was until I had to start wearing a mask

I've heard a rumor you can add your masked face as a second face to unlock the phone. I keep forgetting to try that myself.

@aaronpk I bought one of the new MacBook Airs, and thought, "This will be great when I take it out to cafés and... um."

I mean it'll be great! In like 2 years

I’m the only person I know who doesn’t have issues with the butterfly keyboard…yet. I feel like I’m living very dangerously.

Same! It's totally fine for me!

My problem is the keycaps on command and S and C wear off but it doesn't affect the functionality at all. Confuses the Apple techs every time, but they keep replacing it anyway.

@aaronpk I also wonder if the 13” would get bumped up to 14” rather than shrunk down to 12”, to match the 15” that got bumped up to 16”. 🤷‍♂️

Yeah I'm not optimistic there will ever be a smaller than 13" MacBook again, since they are bumping up the specs of iPads so much
