re: linux question 

@schratze that would copy the entire drive info, with partition stuff etc, which you'd then also need to extend to the full disk size afterwards to use the new space.

But most cases i'd recommend formatting the new drive, and copying files over on the filesystem layer, through `rsync` across two mounts

accessibility is still fucked tho for some reason. Spoilered video's don't even get TalkBack focus, and when playing a video, it keeps constantly reading out the duration ffs

@handlerug great to hear :D I did some weird hacks to have plyr integrate with the photoswipe lightbox as well

this is awesome: See this page fetch itself, byte by byte, over TLS subtls.pages.dev/

project management / issue tracker advice 

Don't try to minimize the amount of open issues in your issue tracker! Issues are *contributions* from users, telling you about problems that you were not aware of yet - they're not pests to get rid of.

Closing issues without either solving them or a good(!) reason why they won't be fixed - for *any* reason, including stalebots - will just sour people on your project. They won't tell you that; they'll just stop showing up. And the issue still won't be fixed.

Instead, treat your issue tracker like a priority queue: accept that you're never going to get to zero, accept that some issues will remain open a long time because they are not urgent, and find a good way to order the list by your criteria of importance.

Work on things as time permits, in order of importance, communicate this to users, and establish a good rhythm of bugfixes that users are happy with even if *their* specific bug isn't fixed yet.

@weirdwriter @rigrig@tubul.net While there is no built-in webclient, current frontend and accessibility efforts are focused on the instance's public pages, like profiles and threads, and the built-in interface for user and admin settings.

I do have ideas/code for a fediverse client in the long-term, but it'll be a separate project (with first-class GoToSocial support). Also lots of the current frontend structure and knowledge will be transferable there.

wait what the fuck i knew Paw Patrol was just kids' copaganda, but it also features a child billionaire that provides the town with all the emergency responder puppies!?!?

If you give a man a software, you torment him for a day.

If you teach a man to software you torment him for a lifetime.

re: meta, more proclamations about the 'death of mastodon' etc etc 

@maloki @schratze @tobi cause obviously they have the unique, radically new perspective, only they could see the end of Mastodon coming
