@nolan BTW thanks heaps for putting in the option to not click away from what I'm doing if I accidentally click in the box of a post! I love Pinafore, and finding that option, fixed one of the only #UX gripes I had with it :-)

@nolan @djsumdog #FeatureRequest help, I'm drowning!

@Wolf480pl @alcinnz in #ForgeFed it would be a fediverse profile and timeline (presumably a worky one rather than a shiptoasting one, but ...) . So if someone makes a pull request, you could click on their @address and check them out a bit to see if they seem competent and/or sane. Their timeline would include recent issue comments, pull requests, accepted commits etc from every project on a forge running ForgeFed.

@jcbrand I agree with you in general I just don't know if I agree with you about XMPP in particular. It may still have a major role to play in a federated future, or like UseNet, it might remain a niche for ubergeeks. There's a fascinating history of all the competitors to TCP/IP. Where are they now?

@gcupc I'm not the least bit interested in faction fights from decades ago. Whether or not this is true (and Black wrote that there was another side to the story), The Abolition .. remains an inspired piece of writing.

@alcinnz
I can imagine a #ForgeFed client that lives on the system but displays it's UI in the browser, like #Mailpile does
@Wolf480pl @BartG95 @xj9

@alcinnz
I thought so ...
@Wolf480pl

@Wolf480pl as i said to Drew, you can nitpick the examples all you want. If, like him, you refuse to accept there could possibly be a use for a person who isn't an engineer contributing to an open source project, so be it. What can I do but point out that this happens on GH *every day* and is one of the reasons it's so popular.
@alcinnz

@Wolf480pl Also, as I've said before, GH isn't just for back-end code, but for HTML, CSS, docs, images, and many other things used in software projects. Having a simple web UI allows whole teams, and external contributors, to all do their work in one place. While using Git as the back-end means engineers like Drew can dial-in their bits from the CLI.
@alcinnz

@Wolf480pl @alcinnz how am I going to fix a bug if I don't even know how to edit a file? But ok, say you're right, allowing me to use a simple web interface, rather than wrestling with the Git CLI, would allow me to give all my attention to studying the code in trying to fix. Yes, eventually I will want to learn the CLI because it can be faster, but the web UI creates a much easier learning curve for onboarding new developers.

@mlg but the rich *are* the strong, or at least those most willing to threaten and use violence. Derrick Jensen (sp. ?) wrote eloquently about that in Endgame (from memory). As for scarcity, except in edge cases, that's never been more than a post-facto rationalisation for capitalism, and capitalism causes scarcity because capitalists can use it to push up prices and profits. Kropotkin wrote a lot about this in The Conquest of Bread, but the classic example is DeBeers (see #AdamRuinsEverything)

@Wolf480pl
> Well, I'm probably oversimplifying a bit.

Maybe a bit, yes. I mean, you can't even do *webmail* with only the email protocols.
@alcinnz

@alcinnz ok, that might well be useful, but it's not actually an @mention is it. It wouldn't give you the functionality entering or clicking on an @mention gives you on GH or in the fediverse.
@Wolf480pl

@Wolf480pl oh come on. I seriously doubt that people like Evan, Chris, and Eugen, would have spent years of their lives assembling AP if they could have just used existing protocols. If you think you can build a web-based, federated social network client, using only email protocols, let's see it.
@alcinnz

@nolan De nada. Thanks for adding the feature, I'll use it a lot :-)

@nolan @djsumdog do you mean toggling these options isn't supported, or that if I go change these settings in the Mastodon UI Pinafore will do the same thing it did before regardless?

@nolan ... and threads are no longer breaking. Again, love your work!

@nolan ok, full addresses are working now on delete and redraft. Love your work!

@nolan yes.

@djsumdog I'm using Pinafore. Do I have to go back to vanilla Mastodon to do that? Also which of the things I listed can I do?
