Loops is basically a fully public platform, which is why I've delayed DM's and a few other things.

I want to implement follower-only accounts, but it requires a few new backend and UI/UX changes/refactors.

Once I ship federation support, I will start working on this, and allow you to easily "disable comments" on all your videos with one button press if you're being attacked or brigated.

Stay tuned loopers 😘

[New silly little Zine: Let 👏🏻people👏🏻enjoy👏🏻things]

It’s all about embracing those little (special) interests and mini-obsessions that make life more fun. I think that are the perfect place to celebrate them. 😌

We replaced @mozilla Firefox’s QUIC UDP I/O stack with a modern memory-safe implementation using quinn-udp. Instead of limited and dated system calls like sendto and recvfrom, Firefox now uses modern OS specific system calls across all major platforms, resulting in HTTP/3 QUIC throughput improvements when CPU bound, and enabling QUIC ECN support across all major platforms.

Loops handles mentions and hashtags in captions differently than mastodon + pixelfed, but better.

Instead of returning html, we simply use plaintext and provide a map of mentions/hashtags/links with indices so you can properly autolink them in your client.

Twitter pioneered this method, and it works great, especially on mobile when you want to capture these types of links to handle better.

Slightly unhinged and very incorrect, but probably still useful

actor: lock
isolation: which specific lock
nonisolated: no lock
Sendable: thread safe
non-Sendable: not thread safe
async: I might wait
await: I'm waiting, maybe just for a lock
Task: thread
compiler: pedantic, paranoid code reviewer
