IMO poor security is more about a lack of eyes on the code. Projects that have a single developer and a lower user-base will be pretty easy money.

I can’t wait to find out which project has the most security holes 🔥

Any guesses?

It’s totally gonna work /s

Bug Report: Missing AppleScript Introduction on First Login

Summary

After logging in for the first time, users do not receive any introduction or guidance on using AppleScript. As a result, one of macOS’s most powerful automation features remains hidden and underutilized.

Steps to Reproduce

Set up a new macOS device or create a new user account.

Complete the initial macOS setup process.

Log in for the first time.

Observe the lack of any AppleScript introduction or onboarding.

Expected Behavior

After logging in for the first time, the user should be presented with an introduction to AppleScript, including a brief explanation of its capabilities and an option to open the Script Editor with example scripts.

Actual Behavior

No introduction, tutorial, or prompt related to AppleScript is displayed. Users remain unaware of its presence unless they actively seek it out.

Environment

macOS Version: All

Device Model: All

User Type: First-time user (new account or fresh macOS installation)

Reproducibility: 100% (occurs on all tested machines)

Additional Information

AppleScript is a core feature of macOS but is not surfaced to users who may benefit from it.

Other macOS features, such as Shortcuts, receive more prominent onboarding.

A simple onboarding dialog or notification could greatly improve discovery and adoption of AppleScript.

Suggested Fix

Introduce a brief AppleScript onboarding experience upon first login, possibly including:

A welcome screen explaining what AppleScript is.

A button to open the Script Editor with example scripts.

A link to documentation or tutorials.

PieFed accounts are free and take 2 mins to create. Check it out :)

Good point, yep.

On the other hand it would also help people find communities they are interested in but haven’t subscribed to yet.

Like normal - the comments are not actually merged, they are still in reply to separate posts.

Every post has a <link rel="canonical" href="https://lemmy.instance/whatever"> tag on it which links to the version of the post on the author’s instance.

Use https://news.feedseer.com/ to summarize your Mastodon feed. Works great.

Wow, no dark mode on a photo app. Photos look great on a dark background…

Every few months Dansup announces that Groups are imminent.

Good news - https://join.piefed.social/docs/piefed-mobile/

When we do get a real mobile app out the door (not just a PWA), it’ll be hard to keep it up to date with the web app. So many moving parts. We’ll need to either slow down the charge or let the mobile app lag quite a lot.

It’d be so much better if everyone just used the PWA.

Yes, url is the only reliable way I could think of to match posts.

For image posts we could use a hash of the image data. But image cross-posts are not common so it doesn’t seem urgent.

Those comments get merged into one tree. I think, didn’t actually test that.

Yes we had a lot of inspiration from Mbin for this one.

They are matched by the url of where the post links to. So this only works for posts that have a url, not discussion or image posts.

Not great. PieFed does not make a local copy of inline images, like Lemmy sometimes does.

Somewhere in your profile settings there’s an export. It won’t export your posts, just which communities you follow and who you’ve blocked, etc. Import those into your new account on the new instance.

something like this perhaps https://piefed.social/f/movies

Nice one!

Today I added a feature which will help you invite people to join your community - go to https://piefed.social/community/movies/invite

It’ll send a message to fediverse users and emails to others.
