Also daily reminder that I miss the old FE this one is so much worse, lost one of the few useful functions (updating timelines on profile tabs) in exchange for a bunch of stuff that takes space and I haven't ever as much as thought "this would be nice to have" in 14 years on fedi.

@nerthos not looking forward to the day when i have to start another pelmora instance (when this one dies (never updating
@hakui Simply use the same software you used for that one!
@nerthos you mean qvitter?
@nerthos also if you're missing something we can probably add it back. Profile timelines should be auto updating
@hj I don't want to give you guys more work, I just want the thing that already worked, unchanged, and keep using that. I made a thread about all the pointless unnecessary changes yesterday.
@nerthos can you link it here? I'll take a look. I'm not afraid of more work and I want to please everyone.
@prettygood @hakui A new Jeffcliff has risen... We're in a SECURITY VULNERABILITY, you retards! I've gotten three updates this month, I can't wait for the next one! stay updated!
@hj It's pinned on my profile if you want to see it from your instance, otherwise https://shitposter.world/notice/B2Ma3IkdMkjcxZTAGG
Pleasing me in regards to the FE is just letting me keep using the previous version of FE that was up until a week ago. Honestly, just having some sort of toggle for which (big) version you want on user options would be the final, forever, ideal fix. Doesn't matter if new functions only work on newer versions, people who like the old version can skip those functions and people who like the new functions can use the new version.

@nerthos yeah I can make option for compact profile. You can also disable "personal remarks" (note/highlight) already. Main reason vor vertical space is because people want to showcase their banner, really.
@prettygood @hakui See the thing is, I just want to keep using the thing that already works. I don't need updates. The issue that no update people have with it is being forced to switch onto different versions when we already have something that we like. It's literally more work just to get a bad reception.
Things and products should always be "you got this one and like it? ok you can keep it forever until it breaks and you need a new one, and then we'll sell/give you the current version at the moment of replacement. We will only support your old version if we feel like it" and that's a great deal to me.

@hj I really just want a toggle for (v2?) FE. The one that I was using until now (and still using on this tab that I refuse to f5 on)
I can probably just inspect element on everything, selectively copypaste it onto a text file, and then open a new tab and selectively replace shit until it renders like the old version, but then I'd have to do it every time, and coders all around the world would kill themselves upon hearing I'm doing it that way.

@hakui @prettygood That's a solution but it also requires extra work. My software ideal is "I put it there once in 2009 and it still works as long as I don't touch its guts"
@nerthos you can run any version of pleroma fe in development mode locally and have it be proxied to spw.
@nerthos @prettygood ok well @jun tried touching it half a year ago and was severely repriminded for it
how do you even mousetrap a ssh connection anyway
@hakui 🪤
@prettygood @nerthos @hakui I'll be honest, I don't get it either. It reminds me a lot of Windows user baby duck syndrome.
@nerthos @hakui @prettygood Doing all my computing from modern ReactOS instead.
