Totally with Ю ⁂<p>It's a pity that <a href="https://nahe.social/tags/Mastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Mastodon</span></a> is not able to display image posts of 4+ images more suitably. The only other platform with this kind of terrible image displaying is <a href="https://nahe.social/tags/Facebook" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Facebook</span></a>. </p><p>I am looking at my own <a href="https://nahe.social/tags/Pixelfed" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Pixelfed</span></a> posts from my Mastodon account and can't see more than 4 images. The post consists of 6 images. Layed out as a horizontal gallery. </p><p>I wish we would copy <a href="https://nahe.social/tags/Threads" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Threads</span></a> in this regard.

Jakke Lehtonen<p>Hyvin lyhyen kokeilun jälkeen aiheesta Friendica ja Mastodon, ilman mitään syvempää analyysiä:<br>* Friendica on ihan pahuksen paljon vaikeampi käyttää kuin Mastodon<br>* Friendica on aika yksinäinen paikka ilman tuttuja käyttäjiä, mutta ActivityPub tuo elämää <strong>jos</strong> on valmiiksi virtuaalielämää muualla<br>* Bluesky-kytkentä tuo aika paljon railakkaammin liikennettä Friendicaan kuin oman Mastodonin seuraaminen, koska Mastodonin suuntaan ei samanlaista kytkyä ole</p><p>En minä ole mikään algoritmivapaan luomusomen omaaja tai suurkäyttäjä.

Paco Hope #resist<p>I recently drove a car whose whole control and entertainment system was a gigantic iPad-like thing mounted to the dash. It caused me to have a realisation about the <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Ui" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Ui</span></a> and <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/UX" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>UX</span></a> of touch screens.</p><p>There is no way to touch a touchscreen without it treating that touch as intentional. What I mean is: without taking my eyes off the road, I can grope across the dashboard, find a knob or button—by touching it—without activating any function. Touching the volume button or temperature knob doesn’t DO anything until I do it with more force and intentionality. Not so for a <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/touchscreen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>touchscreen</span></a>. </p><p>My mobile <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/phone" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>phone</span></a> (an <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/iPhone" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>iPhone</span></a> 13) has no dead space in its face. There’s no part of the phone face I can touch without it assuming I meant to do that and I wanted to activate whatever was under my finger. Old iPhones that had physical home buttons also had dead space to either side: a safe space to hold the phone without DOING anything.</p><p>Computer keyboard have little raised pips on the F and J keys so you can find them by touch without looking. I do this all the time. But I don’t type the letters F or J.
