The posts from accounts I don't follow on Threads are getting ever more infuriating. They drown out the posts from people I do follow. Following someone seems to be merely a suggestion to them.

I'm not open to discovering new "content" from people I don't know, for fuck's sake. ActivityPub support can't come soon enough. I'll just follow everyone from my server and never open that app again.

@grishka I believe it was predictable considering the amount of recommended content in ig and fb.

That whole "threadiverse" word, it hasn't aged well, has it

In the usual Meta style, the thing puts posts from people I don't follow into my feed

On the subject of Reddit API shutdown — why is adversarial interoperability not a thing any more? Why does everyone play by the rules these days?

Many years ago, ICQ was the most popular IM service around me, but almost no one used the crappy official clients. Most people have never even seen them. The protocol was reverse engineered and documented and the 3rd-party client scene flourished.

What happened to this attitude? Is it because of the mobile app stores?

@grishka i think for a lot of people the official apps are just fine.

@grishka can't use the protocol/API if it's authenticated and only returning information with the right token. The alternative is web scraping. But that's likely to fail even with UI changes.

@grishka, смотри, сейчас всё делается для юзеров Айфона. Вышла новая фича iOS = все приложения до релиза нового iPhone или iOS ещё в бета-версии ос делают эту фичу.

А что с Android: тот же Mir Pay только через 2-3 месяца после релиза свежей версии Android'а оптимизируют работу под эту ОС.

Или вот пример: Яндекс и ВКонтакте, в Android 13 Google кардинально поменяла плеер в статус-баре, а они до сих пор не адаптировали свои приложения под Android 13.

@grishka cute! Is this a super-nice coincidence, or was the original name influenced by the show?

This is the best Reddit post title I've seen in a while 🙃

Today's cursed idea: a converter from SWF to Android animated vector drawable

@grishka aren't SWF's vector graphics and animations basically bytecode for their VM? Would probably be simpler to use something more "imperative", like a Canvas.

Or just render it frame-by-frame with skia or cairo or whatever, getting an SVG, then convert that to VectorDrawable XMLs.
