FestplattenSchnitzel | In reply to @festplattenschnitzel:matrix.org https://social.tchncs.de/@pixelcode/108656508303689735 From my perspective constructive "bad press". Should be worth to respond with a personal account in any case, not sure about the official one. | 13:37:15 |
Sylvia | I think that could be a good improvement. Don't really agree with the word "gratis" but the text can definitely be improved | 13:38:46 |
FestplattenSchnitzel | I also think from time to time we should post something like:
> Hey, as you may know, there is a lot to improve on our website { or other project }. If you have an idea for an improvement and know how to submit a merge request, we would like to review yours at { link to project}. Feel free to reach out to us at { link to Matrix dev channel } in case you have any questions. | 13:46:59 |
Sylvia | Ehh, I'm not a huge fan of such super generic text, it's so devoid of personality. But I can respond something to it from my personal account | 13:53:33 |
FestplattenSchnitzel | Thanks for responding! | 17:12:27 |

michael | At the request of hans
Here's a heads-up for all our app testers: We're going to roll-out some major changes the database layer of #FDroid nightly and alpha app builds soon. Thanks for your continued help catching potential issues, before they can affect users!
| 14:12:02 |
michael | We should send this or something along those lines out soon | 14:12:29 |
Sylvia | Oh I completely forgot about this. I think more focus on what we want testers to do (report bugs) and what the change is for could help? It may also be useful to wait until the beta is out so those who see the toot can instantly go test.
Maybe something like:
Heads up to all F-Droid beta testers: We've just rolled out some major changes to F-Droid's database layer to improve the app's responsiveness. Please try the latest beta release and report any bugs you run into. Thanks for helping F-Droid be the best it can be! | 20:06:56 |
Sylvia | Just my 2 cents ^^ | 20:07:06 |

_hc | just got an interesting email to team@ (let me know if you need it forwarded), its in relation to https://social.network.europa.eu/@EC_OSPO/108548572501530920 | 18:34:11 |
Sylvia | I wouldn't mind a forward, is it something you think we should toot about? | 18:35:35 |
_hc | I think so, once we have more info. They seem to be bad at their own publicity, since that toot icludes a broken link :-/ | 18:36:25 |
_hc | at least they're trying | 18:36:33 |
FestplattenSchnitzel | In reply to @eighthave:matrix.org just got an interesting email to team@ (let me know if you need it forwarded), its in relation to https://social.network.europa.eu/@EC_OSPO/108548572501530920 Here, please! | 18:38:18 |
Sylvia | None of the EU toots seem to ever be responded to by them either :( | 18:38:35 |
_hc | FestplattenSchnitzel: what's your email? | 18:38:37 |
FestplattenSchnitzel | (Wrote via PM.) | 18:39:51 |
FestplattenSchnitzel | Hmm, the link to the PDF worked for me … | 18:45:40 |
Sylvia | PDF link worked for me too | 18:47:37 |
Sylvia | But I do use HTML mails, maybe it's broken in the text version? | 18:47:54 |
Sylvia | No clue | 18:48:01 |
FestplattenSchnitzel | In reply to @SylvieLorxu:matrix.org But I do use HTML mails, maybe it's broken in the text version? I have text-only. | 18:48:57 |
