Don't you all also love progress bars that keep restarting?

Don't you all also love progress bars that keep restarting?

I get calculation of progress isn't always useful or possible, but then please don't show a progress bar that goes in circles. Show a spinner and a time counter counting upwards so users know how long a process has been running. It's really not that hard. Thank you.

Looking at you #Synology, but there are many others.

HI @pfefferle👋

HI @pfefferle👋
just ran into trouble using the #Wordpress#WPRSS widget. The problem was, that a server required TSLv1.3 (without supporting 1.2) while WP #RSS only works with TLSv1.2.

Is there a tracker where this issue / feature request to upgrade the widget to support 1.3 can be filed?

-:-

Friendica is an outstanding social plaftorm, featuring powerful characteristics which make it unique in the federated world:
• rich text editing, long posts, support for titles and spoilers;
• native support for ActivityPub groups;
• direct messages;
• media gallery where you can manage photos and albums;
• possibility to organize your contacts in circles;
• ability to quote (cross-post) other people's posts;
• RSS feed import;
• integrated event calendar;
• of course, much more (see the official documentation)…

The web interface is great to access all of these features but on a mobile device there are different constraints for usability and readability, so it comes in handy to have an app to use the most important functions of the platform.

Main features:

• timeline view with ability to switch feed type (public, local, subscriptions, user-made lists);
• post detail, i.e. opening a conversation in its context and see the replies, number of re-shares and people who added it to favourites;
• user detail with ability to see posts, post and replies, pinned posts and media, subscribe for notifications from a user, follow/send a request or unfollow them, see following/followers;
• support for ActivityPub groups, with the ability to open threads in forum mode;
• see trending posts, hashtags, links and following recommendations;
• follow/unfollow an hashtag and view all the posts containing a given hashtag;
• post actions (re-share, favorite, bookmark) and – for own ones – edit, delete or pin to profile;
• global search hashtags, post and users containing some specific terms;
• customize the application appearance with color themes, font face and size, etc;
• login via OAuth2;
• view and edit one's own profile data;
• view incoming notifications and filter the list;
• manage one's own follow requests and accept/reject each one of them;
• view the list of one's own favorites, bookmarks and followed hashtags;
• create a post/reply with formatted text, image attachments (and alt text), spoiler and title;
• schedule a post (and change its schedule date) or save it to drafts;
• report posts/users to administrators for content moderation;
• mute/unmute, block/unblock users and manage the list of muted/blocked users;
• manage one's own circles (user-defined lists);
• see polls (read only);
• multi-account with easy ability to switch between accounts (and, in anonymous mode, switch instance);
• send direct messages to other users and see conversations;
• manage one's own photo gallery;
• view one's own event calendar (read only).

1779688 - Implement "Copy Link to Highlight" links

Another awesome feature is coming to #Firefox in v137:

Implement "Copy Link to Highlight" links

This will allow users to highlight any section on a website, create a link, share that link and when the recipient clicks the link, they will see the section in question highlighted and in focus on the respective website.

How awesome is that? Thanks 🔥🦊 and @mozillaofficial

bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1779688
Please note this is currently still hidden behind a pref and is pending testing. There is a separate issue for shipping the feature with bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1948471
Here is an example link to highlight: linuxmint.com/#:~:text=Free,Ubuntu%2E

1210175 - simulcast support for H264

An important feature request open for over 9 years has been addressed in Firefox: simulcast support for H264 will be part of #Firefox v136
Big deal for #WebRTC usage: This is the supposed changelog note from the assignee #AndreasPehrson

Firefox now supports sending multiple simultaneous versions of the same source over WebRTC, so called simulcast, with the H264 video codec. H264 is the second video codec after VP8 to be supported for sending simulcast.

Reasoning: Simulcast is needed by any video conferencing site that want to do large video calls, where peers are connected via a media server rather than directly to each other (peer to peer). H264 is the only other codec to be supported than VP8, and H264 simulcast is supported with hardware codecs on Android.

🔥🦊 Thanks @mozillaofficial

Release 0.3.17 · te-online/timemanager

Quality of life fix for #Nextcloud#TimeManager:

Time entries are now sorted from new to old (instead of old to new), which is very helpful when looking at the tasks / time entries.

Glad this got tackled in 0.3.17: github.com/te-online/timemanager/releases/tag/v0.3.17
