What's new in #Ruby 2.6

https://medium.com/tailor-tech/whats-new-in-ruby-2-6-a4774f3631c1

The JIT compiler and Array#to_h change are exciting. I could get rid of some intermediate arrays in Mastodon with that... Unfortunately, we're gonna have to support Ruby 2.3, 2.4 and 2.5 for a while so that's not going to be possible yet

My friend is telling me about an anime called "I was reincarnated as a slime" and I'm here thinking a lot of people on Mastodon would be into that scenario

I would actually like if people used hashtags a bit more often here. Since it's the only way to find things!

Good morning

I want a loading indicator like this...

I'm also thinking about a new user's path. We require e-mail confirmation before you can login. That's necessary to prevent spam and trolls. But what if you would immediately be logged in after sign up, but couldn't post or follow before confirming the e-mail? Perhaps that would be better?

The "welcome" screen looks like a modal window, and a lot of people seem to skip it instinctively. What if it was actually a full page? Also, the contents of it really need to be revised.

Big mood

I feel like I don't explicitly state this often enough, but I want to see a future where most people are on federated social networks. Mastodon, Pleroma, Misskey, etc, instead of Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.

There is a non-zero amount of new people in my notifications, so:

Hello to all the new users in the fediverse ? Hope you have a wonderful time!

Okay, here is a demo! Everything in #mastoart:

Please mind that not safe for work images are displayed without warning in the gallery.

I made something for Mastodon: A gallery mini-app.

You can simply drop it in your Mastodon server's public folder, and it will show images from your server in a mosaic grid with infinite scroll. Supports some configuration as well, e.g. whether to limit it to only local images, or a specific hashtag, or which server to fetch from.

Knowing that you must be asleep at this time but not being able to fall asleep ?

When rule 34 art of a character is available a few hours after the character was revealed

Basically spent the night writing a patch that would bring switter.at up to Mastodon 2.6.1

What if each column's settings area had a slider for that column's width
