I like how the biggest use of my wetdry world account has become to spam my other accounts with notifications

@yassie_j Thank you for stating so clearly that this is not just petty drama, I'm so tired of seeing people say that

@puppygirlhornypost2 and then you accidentally liked a random post instead

Getting the amount of unread notifications is a very difficult problem that Mastodon and Pleroma both handled very poorly

First of all, Mastodon didn't even have a good way to do it through the API until a few months ago. And they decided to make that API poorly. The way the unread count is handled is through a marker that contains the ID of the last read notification, which is all good, but the marker and the unread count are gotten through different endpoints. This means that if an app both wants to know the amount of unread notifications and what the last read is (i.e. to highlight unread notifications), two API requests are needed and it can't be displayed on the screen before both have finished. Oh and you of course also have to handle if one is successful but the other is not for whatever reason

And then there is Pleroma that in a way has the opposite problem. They did implement a way to get the unread count from the same API endpoint as the marker already in 2020, which is great, but the problem here is that the marker and the unread count aren't saved from the same endpoint. The client of course has to tell the server which notifications have been read, and saving the marker is done from the Mastodon endpoint, but setting the seen property on notifications that the unread counter uses is done through a specific mark as read endpoint in the Pleroma API, so here there are again two requests to manage

The fediverse situation has gotten even crazier

I'm very gay

My problem with desktop music players is that either they're too simple or they are too complex for my needs

I just want something where when I open it, it's ready to play my playlist of music files in my selected folder with a good queuing system

One of my favorite things about fedi is how it's often very clear that a post was inspired by a different post which then inspired another post

Did eris just cause a massive earthquake

I mean, our entire economy is built on this concept, but it's evil that it also applies to domains

Evil that people buy domains just to sell them to others for more money

@eris Reminds me of my course where the first task we got before even the first lecture was to prove using physics that capitalism is unsustainable

goes to do something I just did
