@Hank G ☑️ could Relatica save the information which group/circle was viewed last and start with that instead of my general timeline? Or maybe a setting which group to show when starting the app?
Well, now, when there is an #iOS update, the #Headspace installation completes and I have to delete it, trigger a status check, so they see that it is missing, and then pause the resulting installation.
It is definitely much more limited than similar apps ... I think it reflect's Eugen's vision of what the mobile Mastodon experience should be like. There are other apps available, even if they all stink.
For what it does, it is probably one of the better apps, but there are plenty of limits, such as:
* no unlisted posts
* no local timeline
* no federated timeline
* shows the joinmastodon.org signup list, but does not permit browsing the local timelines to help with choosing an instance.
* bug where autofilled @ mentions end up in the form "@username@username@instance.tld .tld" (including that space before the repeated TLD extension)
Come on, #Apple. In these days where people get many fake calls per day (as in they appear to come from fake numbers, not the actual callers' phone numbers), this is something basic that every phone should display on every call it receives.
Though it is hard to feel any sympathy for #Epic_Games (being motivated by wanting to capture gamers in their own store, not to free #iOS users from captivity to Apple's store), I'm leaning toward wanting them to win their suit, just because #Apple and #Google exercise way too much control over what people can install on the devices they pay for.
It is still very early in its life, so it should improve over time.
There's a few things that need to improve:
* It is designed for iPhones, so it looks awkward on an iPad.
* After I set it up and logged in, there was an update. After the update, I had to set it up again. It didn't retain my login session or information.
* It doesn't pick your homeserver as the place to log into when you enter the normal "username:homeserver.tld" syntax. You have to click the magnifying glass icon and enter your (homeserver.tld).
These things can be fixed, and some likely will be fixed, as development continues.
I'd argue that given their duopoly on mobile operating systems, the power to arbitrarily kick someone out is scary (regardless of how deserving Parler might be; I'm not even sure I've seen a screenshot of the site). I'd argue that this is evidence that the mobile OS and app store groups of both companies need to be split up, so that competition can come ... including strong competition for mobile app stores on each platform.
Again, Parler may deserve it, especially if their users used the socnet to organize their insurrection attempt. (Though I suspect many of them probably used odious #corpocentric sites like #Twitter or #Facebook, which are not being punished.)
Of course,it has other consequences, and honestly, if my phone was stolen, I'd want it to get a secure wipe. Search for "Brother Orange" in #DDG or #Google, and you'll see why.
#Android isn't the only one with such a misfeature. In organizations with #Apple #iOS devices, re-use after an employee leaves can be painful. Sometimes, after days or weeks of delay, Apple will inlock the devices for re-use, but sometimes, the org must buy a new phone.
