If I ever get my feelings sorted regarding social media, @manton will be getting a soft shoutout for being the kind of thoughtful and responsive developer I want building my platform.

Side note: I probably sorted my feelings and this is probably the soft shoutout.

A social media platform’s touch-awareness parameter (Micro.blog at one end of the spectrum and my old Twitter experience the other) would be per person customizable and vastly improved with a simple quantum leap: make everything opt-in with three choices yes | no | whatever and wire up the spectrum

The video (which I had to write a Shortcut to compress since nobody wants to handle iPhone video compression anymore, trick was trim video compressing for me) with the papa of our adorable Murphy-era skunk family I wanted to dig out for @pratik and the shampoo bottle photo I uncovered as a bonus.

So close Apple engineers. I wasn’t actually expecting to find what I wanted. Screenshots of a search in the Photos app for Skunk (without tapping a tag) and a search from the image library selection interface with an amazing partial match result (the tanuki vanish) and unusable results.

Who TF are y’all hiring to program your shit? My lord.

Okay… I give y’all so much shit, Apple Engineers… I am big enough to admit that your shaking text surprise was very pleasing.

I got a button for a 📸 (that I use way more than I accidentally slide my way over to the 📸). I got a watch for a 🔦 (that I use way more than I accidentally activate this GD 🔦). Why TF aren’t these optional? U think because you disappeared the corner radius control center glitch you all ✔️.

.@pratik if this message makes it out, we’re all trapped in the well out back

Or perhaps a new global whatever TF oughta establish an accreditation process for non-fiction content services. The bullshit y’all must get up to discussing at each composium to keep browser developers busy… and your fucking client base can’t decide whether the fucking earth is round in any of them

I think it is time to disconnect analytics. I remain uninterested in working example traffic.

Guess it was a feature. See where leaving that f$&king control center geometry bug until you literally rewrite the control center has pushed me you little f$&kers

Broke you in under 12 hours. GG Apple Devs

I wonder if we’re headed more towards picking our default assistants like we do our default browsers (there is a term that never evolved) or even further device f$&kery and platform-adoption-as-big-data-asset

Screenshot stitching for capturing scrollable content and conversations… did I just invent YAFAICGAFA?

If Siri knows when I stand up, she oughta be able to remind me to do shit the next time I get up to go somewhere. Just sayin’.

If you were involved in rolling out Matter to make smarthome integration easier… you fucked up. Platform? Irrelevant. You removed what scrap of reliability we managed to scrape together and replaced it with triple the amount of necessary debugging. You fucked up… like, revert to dumbhome fucked up.

Someone oughta submit my #NostalgicNuggs song posts to Apple in a bug report for their limp f$&king shuffle algorithm that has had me playing the same ten bands off a playlist with a 2K+ song count (seeing as the shuffle is lost every GD time the phone restarts).

Someone find me the contact information for the Apple Music engineer to yell at for their piss poor shuffle algorithm implementation. A playlist with over 2000 songs should not pull from the same three fucking albums every fucking time you shuffle it.

The ineffective reach is unfortunate; otherwise, after 3+ years of cross-posting out of Micro.blog, I most certainly would have given y'all an open source iOS app that monitors your MB feed for new posts, automatically cross-posting highly configurable platform specific adaptations of your content.

Not sure who borked who when it comes to Twitter blowing image and preview card display for Micro.blog cross-posts. I'm holding on to all my fucks, anywho. It turns out that when a tree falls in the forest, and nobody is around to hear, it really doesn't make a sound.

Feels like I oughta update my cards plugin to scrape and forward the image provided by the first included card in posts that include one or more preview cards but don't include any images of their own to populate metadata for their own card.

GDammit, someone remind me what it's called when you take ugly ass page URLS ending with file suffixes on your server and hide them behind a pretty directory path structure ending with a forward slash.

Simply can't over stress how underwhelmed I've been with the development of your platform #PostNews. Holler if you're in the Bay Area, need a fixer, and think you can convince me to put my programming hat back on.

Bee tee dubs, @manton, feels like you're missing a whole lot of content not letting videos like this just autoplay muted (I mean, they don't seem to play for me even once I've tapped the button).

So, @Crowdfire, if y'all would just implement posting via Micropub API for those connected other blogs to allow posting to Micro.blog, I may actually be able to use your platform as intended. As is, probably time for me to cancel since I haven't used it for months.
