@joshua sometimes I’m a little conflicted about things like this. I often wonder if there is actually a valid market for some apps or are they all supported by “friends” buying everything they put out. But I guess the market is really about getting your app/company enough friends.

Basically can’t wait to buy all of the new Mastodon clients. I’ve long used Twitterrific, and I hope it comes to Mastodon in some form, but I’ll definitely buy a bunch of them to give them a proper kick of the tyres and to say thanks to the developers for taking the risk on this platform.

@alexmace no, we have multiple energy companies now. But we have a dysfunctional government that has severely hindered the rollout of the energy bill support.

@alexmace the system for giving assistance with energy bills this winter was a bit messed up in Northern Ireland!

@alexmace we have one in our new-build home and had no choice in the matter. We were just told by the builder “we have to put these on, and you will need to ask the electricity provider to change it”.

And now we’re about to get credit vouchers for it from the government (£600) so we’re locked into the pre-pay system until we use them (or lose them!)

@marcoarment finally Mastodon’s true purpose is revealed: Apple developers can talk about attributes without mentioning some poor soul that has had an attribute name as a Twitter handle for years

@stuartgibson I demand to know who declared you to be Optional. I consider you Essential!

@ambientspace I’d cancelled an order yesterday for a product that was continually delayed. The store asked if I’d like to order anything else before getting a refund set up. Everything I was interested in buying was out of stock. Even patch cables!

I’m not arrogant enough to turn this into a “they should make it easier to tell that a filter is active. This is a UX issue”. This was all me!

@ambientspace I would imagine so, but Mutable Instruments shutting up shop recently got me spooked! I also saw a year-old Reddit post that expressed a similar frustration at Scales never being available. Got me wondering if it was perennially out of stock.

Nevermind! Apparently I had a filter for media posts only on my home timeline. That’s a relief!

And this post isn’t showing in my timeline. Though it does if I view my own posts. I also got a reply to an earlier post, but am not seeing anything in the mentions view. Might need to use Metatext or Mammoth for a while.

Anyone else notice missing posts from their timeline? Noticed this evening that one of my own posts (made through Ivory) wasn’t visible. Had a look in Metatext and on my instance web app, and could see it in both. Then noticed other posts from my timeline that weren’t showing in Ivory either. That said, they were there if I went to the federated timeline in Ivory.

Has it always been this hard to get a Scales by Intellijel, or is it a recent shortage? Seems like nearly every Intellijel module is out of stock these days too.
