@vincent It apparently uses APFS snapshot diffing for backups. Should be a whole lot faster and consistent.

@gpittman First I've heard of the service. Looks really good tho. "DRM-free downloads " especially. I wonder if that is all books?

@adamprocter Yes he was. A few of the great composers are getting up in age I fear we will be loosing more soon.

@maique I self hosted Pleroma for a while then went back to Mastodon.social. Wasn't worth it.

@canion Recently went in on the o365 family plan. It comes with 6 accounts of Office and each gets 1TB of OneDrive. For less than the price of Dropbox. Best storage deal around.

@hawaiiboy Yeah this was recent. Hopefully works better for you next time.

@maique This is one to watch. social.shadowfacts.net/notice/9w...

@maique Roma is a older fork of Mast supposedly more targeted to Pleroma, but it appears to be mostly stale. The Mast developer is trying to sell Mast and has a history of abandoning apps. Probably best to stick to Toot.

@hawaiiboy I have a freeze on all my credit agency account. Forgot about them when I applied for the Apple Card. I was denied but the process of applying informed me of the agency that was going to be used and that it was frozen. I did a temporary unfreeze for 24hours. Immediately retried the application and was approved. This was an amazingly slick and painless process compared to a Chase card I also tried to apply for recently. I gave up on Chase due to having to call, wait on hold, unfreeze multiple agencies and Chase never checking credit in 24 hours.

@vincent First look at 2020.5. Coming back to the app after a few hours it appeared to load posts but lost my current read position by a few posts. Once I scrolled back and found my position it again lost my position and jumped to the top of the timeline when iI switched to settings and back.

@vincent Excited to give this a spin.

@gpittman Yup in CHS and I remembered your name from Twitter when you joined here.

@PaulGit Cool. Glad you like it.

@pratik One of my favorite shows currently running. So glad Amazon picked it up

@PaulGit Mastonaut is worth looking at. apps.apple.com/us/app/ma...

@vincent Great post. Excited for what's coming.

@purisubzi I follow people to read what they have to say, so missing posts due to timeline issues bugs me. Kind of like having and RSS reader that randomly drops posts or... and algorithmic timeline. I completely agree tho that MB is a different place and it's a good thing.

@maique Don't forget to follow @-Agiletortoise here. He doesn't post much tho.

@maique It's about what's more important to you for sure. Icro is nice enough and the biggie for me, holds position. Gluon is exceptional, except it looses position and totally skips older posts at times.

@purisubzi @pratik No doubt it's hard to get it right. I find it interesting how we like to complain about the lack of chronological timelines on the big social networks and yet we don't really have them on the alternatives. It's also why I stick to Icro here. It does a good job of holding position and allowing chronological reading.

@purisubzi @pratik Curios, do y'all usually read in reverse chronological order?

@maique Drafts really is an amazing tool. Easy to make quick notes, all the way up to full Draft built UI's.

@kordumb Pocket perhaps? help.getpocket.com/article/1... Some other tools there that might point you in a workable direction.

@gpittman Didn't know about that method of aliasing. Very nice. I like the idea of encrypted mail systems, but if everyone you're committing treason with isn't using the same service, it's mostly pointless. Better ways to communicate if good privacy/encryption is the goal(like Signal).

@rishabh Possibly, but my experience is most do not.
