Interesting & somewhat annoying discovery of the day
Mastodon, for some inexplicable reason, does not support AVIF images
My automated blog posts which use AVIF featured images don't show images when posted here & manually adding the images to the post on mastodon directly doesn't work
I find it odd that the universally accepted web friendly format is not supported here
You'd think anything thats reduces storage & bandwidth pressures would be welcomed

@wolf480pl So yeah, I think that everything has compromises to some extent.
I chose #Linux as basis for @OS1337 because it solves the #driver problem for me and I know it. I'm just complete shit with #NetBSD which may arguably be the better option targeting low-end systems, but that'll again result in more pain and frustration getting other #apps ported over when I can't just say: "Target linux-#i486 and statically compile in all your dependencies" to any 3rd party as starting point.
Has anyone else noticed the @pixelfed¹ "Sign-in with Mastodon" button?
Pretty neat! 
It's actually also a sign-up option. With a few clicks, you can import all your #Mastodon data & get started 
It's not available on all #Pixelfed servers.²

#Platforms, not #Tools
Unless tools start to take a life of their own and threaten the platform itself. True since the early days of #Apple when #Borland, #Microsoft, and others overpowered #MPW and threatened its #Mac platform in insidious ways. Ill-fated #OpenDoc is another example where #X #fileformat #compatibility was critical. Yet another — #Netscape and #IE #browsers until they threatened the #Mac by #neglect or #incompatibility. And of course, #open #web on #iPhone.

One of the reason really neat integrated apps are hard is because every company wants to shoehorn their users into using their software for everything.
So, they all find ways to make using anything else unpleasant.
Maybe I'm extreme but this seem like it ought to be illegal.
For example, many transit apps have "trips" which could also be integrated with the calendar--- but, google and apple would probably rather try to make their own bad version of trips. #design #compatibility
