I have created a new, separate account for my Mastodon client Toot!:

@tootapp

Please follow it for updates about Toot!, getting beta access, and similar things.

(I'm slightly struggling to keep up with all the attention it is getting right now through my personal account. This account is usually mainly for posting utter nonsense!)

Turns out that awk, sometime between its 30th and 35th birthdays, introduced breaking syntax changes.

Thanks, Unix. Super-appreciating.

So on that note:

GLITCH AESTHETIC IS PRIVILEGE

Now I just need to start posting incomprehensible gibberish here again to scare all my new followers over to the other account.

@Gargron Bug report that I noticed now that I have two accounts on the same server: The first time I tried logging in to the other account through Toot!, logout failed in the authentication flow. Second time, I managed to log out and log in again, but I was taken out of the authentication flow and ended up in the web UI instead. Third time, I was already logged in to the other account, so it worked.

@tootapp This really is mainly an effort to save my personal account notifications. Been crazy these last two days.

@tootapp It's been fifteen minutes, and I already have over fifty followers. This is a bit ridiculous!

Did... did Trump actually, in his own defence, tweet that SOMEBODY ELSE called him and told him that there are no tapes of him using slurs?

Like, not that he would never say that. Not that he knows there can't be any because he never would. Just that someone else has is sure that there are no tapes of him doing it.

Is he just so used to lying that he's forgotten how to actually lie competently?

Geez, I sure got a lot of beta testers all of a sudden! I kind of forgot that you can boost things on Mastodon and that post went a bit wider than expected!

Still, all good.

Just building my Personal Brand a bit more than expected.

And you want the switch state to reflect the remote state as accurately as possible.

Remember:

* The switch should change when the user clicks it.
* The network connection may take a long time to finish.
* The network connection may fail.
* The user may click the switch multiple times before the first network connection succeeds.
* Any of the network connections you may open in response to any of those clicks may fail. They may also execute out of order on the server side.
* The user may click the switch again before the animation has even finished.

Of course, the switch has a nice animation of flipping state. And no user likes a switch that you click on and then wait for a network connection to finish before it actually reacts.

How do you implement this, robustly?

I honestly don't really know.

Here is the HARDEST problem in computer science:

Your program shows a switch. Flipping the switch changes a setting on a remote server.

That is the problem.
