@lyse Oh noes! π³ Is your camera still working okay? I _hope_ it's not damanaged π’
@jlj Ahh that's awesome! I've glad you worked around and/or fixed some issues here. I have the database dumb you sent me, but unfortunately it is somehow "corrupt"? π³ Which is ridiculous of course because your Pod is running just fine π

@novaburst Kind of curious how you managed to do this in the first place. I mean it's pretty goddamn hard π

@justamoment So imagine you are vision impaired like me, and you have to zoom into the screen to a point where you can only see a couple of words at a time. Now imagine as you use your mouse to pan around the screen so you can read the shit in the first place, popups / hovers appears out of nowhere, often as a result of accidently mousing over a profile pic/avatar that then pops up a box that now covers what you were reading, or worse yet (Teams does this) pops up the emoji window in case you want to react to the message but now that's covering what you're reading too!

@david Yes it's the "detecting posts in the future". Remember the trouble we had with Maya and her inability to correctly set the timezone on her PC and spit out correct timestamps on her feed? π

@justamoment Probably the most important thing to avoid is hovers or mouse overs π€¬

So all that silly testing with "Test 1", "Test 2" was me and @ullarah trying to figure out a weird observable behaviour we were seeing between our pods with this new WebSub feature. Turns out @ullarah's server running his Pod was out by 18s (clock skew) and was treating my individual twts in near-real-time as being in the future (this is a feature).
What do y'all think about tolerating up to say 30s of clock skew? π€

@david Also do you have or can you share screenshots of the "Restrictions" that can be applied to a Child's Apple ID? Thanks! πββοΈ I'm reading the T&C's and I'm not too thrilled, so I'd like to have a better idea how how this works or what I can/cannot do π€

@david I _think_ to so. It's the very next thing that'll be worked on after I get this fucking websub thing right. It's still not quite right god damnit.

Can we agree that we just need to be able to search a pod's archive and load up older Tats/Yarns if we so choose? Aside from plausible deniability and the philosophy of forgetting, this is still very important for performance and efficiency reasons too π

@tkanos That's right, I _believe_ we have enough data to identify if a Twt was edited and I _think_ we can figure out a nice way to deal with this. Essentially it causes forks.

@david Great π Also @ullarah dIM Chat is great, I've got this setup on all our devices and it's working great πββοΈ The interface _could_ be improved somewhat, but it's actually not that terrible π

@mutefall Re RFC 3339 timestamps, if I understand you correctly, I _think_ it's extremely unlikely for someone to repost a Twt (an edit) within the same second (at least not humanly possible). In any case, I've only validated the ideas so far in isolation, the algorithm(s) need to be built, feature gated, measured, understood and finally put in place with some UX (I like @ullarah's gugestion)
