Developing Mastodon, I strive to use terminology that is familiar to as many people as possible so as to not put up unnecessary barriers in understanding. For this reason I am happy that we went away from calling posts "toots". It has always been a point of friction for people. Not that I dislike branding, quite the opposite, but in my experience receiving feedback over half a decade, it had a negative effect on the platform for little benefit.

so was "tootsuite" a play on "hootsuite" or the french "tout suite"

Do I know anyone who knows the right malware analysis tools to determine whether an app accesses any files on the computer or what remote servers it connects to? I want to know more about what this particularly well targeted malware is trying to do.

In the mean time, if you get an email about doing sponsored videos for @sumopaint or @RainwayApp the emails are fake and are very likely trying to take over your YouTube channel. I'm going to do a video explaining how this scam works because it's very well done.

Found this old photo… that’s me wearing an iPod nano 6th gen in a custom watch band. Talk about pre-dating the Apple Watch! This is 2011, according to the metadata. Who else rocked one of these? 😂 Also: tell me you’re a photographer without telling me you’re a photographer🙄🙄

the 2007 iPod Nano was my absolute favorite and I am still very sad that I lost it

I thought about it, but lots of smells. Mac only, so probably super proprietary and won’t work with my Windows or Linux setups. I feel like they’re angling for a monthly subscription.

I have a DSLR setup with HDMI capture so I’m mostly good already.

Agreed. They have monthly pricing already published too. Seems like they're doing a good job of influencer marketing tho.

And while we’re on this tip, this is an absolute dick move by the BVG. Especially considering this comes just after a warning that my ticket will be “valid immediately”.

I feel for the people who built a pretty decent app being forced to do this user-hostile shit.

I heard they do that so people can't wait til the fare inspectors are coming around to buy the ticket

Wild! When I upload vids to tiktok I rarely get any views.

Clearly the solution is to upload more helicopter videos

If you’re not using it to gain something specific — typically related to protocols or interop with a other orgs — I wouldn’t bother. It’s a tool, not an ideology

My experience interacting with folks in the space has taught me that it is absolutely an ideology and not a tool

So, you’re saying is I should get one? 😂

oh I assumed you already had one! I'm mildly curious to see how this ends up working so I might try it myself! The Lametric is fun, but doesn't necessarily work like you'd expect, so I'm not totally sure about this one.

But will I have to hire you to write code for it? 😂 Mainly (at least at the moment) just what I said in the first tweet; toggling between time of day and the YT count, and occasionally making it a countdown timer

you know what, I think that might actually be possible: https://lametric-documentation.readthedocs.io/en/latest/reference-docs/device-apps.html#id15

I think it might even be possible to do this entirely within Companion without writing any actual code for it...

Anyone got one of these LaMetric boxes? If so, can it be controlled from anything other than the app; ideal with Stream Deck or Companion controls, or even iOS Shortcuts? https://amzn.to/3GohzUi

I have one! There is sort of an API for it depending on what you're trying to do with it.

The “Give it the UI of an iPhone” part is maybe the most intriguing. I mean, the UI of most camera systems really still feels like this today:

The notable exception being Blackmagic cameras!

Turns out if you're just holding your drone but it's super windy out the wind can catch the propellers and spin them and slice your fingers even if the drone is powered off 😫

I got some excellent shots of the volcano tho. Worth it.

Everyone I stream! Definitely essential, and also one of the most popular questions each time. “How are you putting comments on screen?!”

haha me too! I get that question so often that the regulars in the chat have been answering for me 😅

Interesting. Glob Entry at Logan is face match only now. No fingerprint check and no on screen questions. Snap pic, receipt prints.

I've had that at a few airports now! My favorite time was in Dallas when the guy checking the receipts on the way out didn't know he wasn't supposed to also ask for passports again so he held up the entire global entry line and there was physically no more room to get in
