@SebJVidal In your post there is a screenshot with an edge effect just on the status bar without any other UI like a nav bar. How did you achieve that?

@propresenter You have historically had top tier support but dang, the last response I got (powered by https://t.co/xgxpi4dNY2 🙄) was so incredibly bad. It responded to my feature request with objectively wrong information that was only tangentially related.

@sdpconejo @Chase Oh no... First time was like 5 days (over the weekend). But I'm approaching that now and still getting nothing when I call.

[David Beck @davbeck]

For the second month in a row, @Chase has locked my account for "fraud prevention" without any explanation and told me to "just wait".

@sferik @Apple Pretty sure there are android phones that do this.

@EmilioPelaez @migueldeicaza @ChristianSelig What did you use before that?

[David Beck @davbeck]

#protip: you can benefit from mastodon without actually using it ~ every account auto-generates an rss feed ~ if you don't remember the beauty of rss, you can subscribe to it from any feed reader and always be up-to-date ~ so, if you dont use mastodon, at least sub to feeds

@Raspberry_Pi All my friends are leaving and this makes me sad. So I made Bye-Bye Bird. Connected to the Twitter API, it sheds a single tear when someone uses the #RIPTwitter hashtag.

Bob Iger just sent a company wide email telling all employees to print out their ten best pages of scripts and bring them to the 15th floor of Disney HQ by 1am for review

Mastodon is basically just Twitter from 10 years ago.

I liked Twitter 10 years ago.

I like Mastodon.

@ChristianSelig Do you re-register push on every app launch?

everyone else writing a Disney+ Star Wars show: “the thesis of my show is I played with action figures as a kid and now I get to make my favorite characters do cool things :)”

This is a thing that computers should solve, and solve automatically everywhere.

@parrots I mean at one point MySpace motivated millions of people to figure out html and css so…

@ChristianSelig It ain’t pretty, but this is an option:
