"The Web began dying in 2014, here's how" a very good overview of the problems we face in keeping the open web alive https://staltz.com/the-web-began-dying-in-2014-heres-how.html

obligatory comment: physical things fall apart in obvious ways, "digital" things deteriorate in often unnoticed ways http://xkcd.com/1909/#
preserving interactivity is the challenge; various communities (some unknowingly) made progress. I wrote about it: https://figshare.com/articles/Evaluating_Interactive_Archives/5483836 https://mastodon.social/media/tBGUrcFwf50RfyeEqzk

i was GOING to say:

can we somehow supplant, dismantle, or otherwise be rid of the academic publishing industry?

it seems rotten to the core

It was a simpler time in the 1990s

DNA Replication Filmed for the First Time, and it's not what we expected

So please help our developer @charlag out:

We want to show the upload progress of media files - should it be a percent value or a progress bar? Or both?

And if we implement a tab to view a users media, would you prefer a fourth tab in profiles or should we hide it in the menu like the web version does?

I wish we could do UI/UX polls on what people would prefer for #tusky
1) Media upload progress - progress bar or percent as text?
2) Media tab in profile - forth tab (with scrolling tabs) or hidden in the menu?

"ejecting" USB drives implies something far cooler than it is

After pressing that button the drive should shoot out of the computer with tiny rockets and then land on a little parachute

The good people of #FDroid have updated the app and I must say it is looking better than ever.

A munch needed visual upgrade welcomes the application to the 1.0 release.
