Weird! When I try to update the profile I no longer get an error (status: 200 + account in response). But nothing is updated...
What is going wrong with my PATCH call? I use the "httpsurlconnection" to build the query. I stopped to send profile & banner pictures through base64 encode, and I use byte array. Did someone already meet this issue?

I would like to bring an improvement by removing automatically utm that are in some URLs. I opened an issue for that, if you have some ideas concerning the regex that will be used to cover this issue, don't hesitate to share them. Thanks

Let me correct that: Have you noticed how anyone that doesn't use $service says that nobody uses $service? #LeSigh

Seen that already for $service:
#Linux
#XMPP
#Diaspora
#Signal
#PGP

I'm still running a self-hosted #wordpress install with almost 16 years of history and entries. Wonder whether there is some way of integrating or migrating this into the #fediverse or on some self-hosted platform such as #gnusocial or #mastodon. It possibly needs to be something php based as I just do have web hosting, no root access. Recommendations anyone?

What secure messaging app should you use? The frustrating answer is: it depends. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2018/03/why-we-cant-give-you-recommendation

Don't lose your time by switching from an account to another one, just to find a toot for a reply, a fav or a boost.
#Mastalab allows you to do it quickly with a long click on the reply/boost/fav buttons. It will work even if the toot is unknown by the other instance #tips

Very important thread on how Mastodon still fails to have proper privacy - I agree that sharing the data is incrementally better, but agree there are some advantages to centralizisation.

RT @cmuratori@twitter.com: Me: "Delete this file."
Windows: "Someone is using it."
Me: "Who?"
Windows: "I can't say."
Me: "I checked using a utility. It says your file explorer is the one using it!"
Windows: "Well, I had to show a preview."
Me: "Why?"
Windows: "Because you selected the file to delete it!"
