Hello, this is the official account for flockingbird.
We are building a professional social network (think: LinkedIn) for the fediverse.
Here, we'll post occasional updates and pointers to where we are at. And we'll try to answer questions about the project.
Account is operated by @berkes so feel free to cc that.

How do you feel about a video transcript using mathematical notation, e.g. "∑ x²" instead of "the sum of x squared"?
My hunch is that the fact notation isn't always read strictly left-to-right would make following both the video and transcript harder.
@AmpBenzScientist I don't think that aspect of it was as much of a pain point for me. The one thing I recall is that I lost state in a really surprising way when the screen rotated. Viewing that attempt with experience I have now, I'm struck by how the Android app development process wants to give you (or fit you into) a framework when what I would have preferred was a library of objects that let do what I wanted. I think the latter is a more obvious way to present the system vs giving developers object "life cycles", so I'd be curious to know what motivated the construction they have. It's also possible I just had the wrong aspect of the interface and something closer to my ideal was already available.
@it_was_inevitable is an amusing bot (more amusing than dwarf fortress)
@AmpBenzScientist ah. I don't know much about that. I tried making an Android app once, but found simple things too tedious to deal with for what I wanted to build.
@AmpBenzScientist not just your opinion. my frustrations were motivated by an upgrade to v11. it messes with the parts of the UI I use most (media player, file manager, and notifications) but doesn't make them better: just different or worse.

Does anybody have any experience with designing thermally stable HF filters (100's of MHz)? Any references appreciated :)
@io@cybre.space what, you're not communicating in dead languages with bronze age writing systems? maybe you just don't *deserve* unicode 😂
@coldwave 😭 nooo fix the tests
(real talk tho: sometimes you need to delete them)
@AmpBenzScientist thanks. I'm familiar with that. I'm merely lamenting Google's failure to make something as basic as a file browser not crappy. Like, I can't even get it to not autoplay videos - I can press a button if I want to play it! Stop interrupting my freaking podcast while I'm browsing files! jeez

> implying gay people are sabotaging the straights
I know there are more important things in the world, but in case you happen to be thinking about getting a new smart phone, just know the #Google apps on the Pixel 3a are garbage, so you'll have to install, for instance, a file browser that isn't garbage.
Can't imagine I'd ever need to build a well or water filtration system, but interesting nonetheless. If you watch, be sure to turn on captions for explanation of what they're doing.

It took me a while to realize that sometimes, listening carefully and answering questions (or better, making it unnecessary to ask them) is the most valuable thing a software engineer can do in a large organization, even more than designing software and writing code
