Dear bot posing as "Emma Kate",

I've spent some time reading your mail and really liked how you sent it to the completely wrong guy, because the app you mention is not by me.

I would have liked to look at a few examples of animated explainer videos that resonate with someone, but you not only mixed up your recipients, but also forgot to link to your own page.

I still had a look at it, and found the combination of laggy animations and at least three different graphic styles lacking.

I have several app ideas where some sort of Mastodon integration sounds fun, like publishing a photo or seeing public posts using a certain hashtag. Instead of reimplementing the same, necessary but boring, steps of signing in a user and storing their secrets over and over, I decided that a small Android library might be sensible.

Perhaps this library is useful for other developers as well. You can check it out at https://codeberg.org/bocops/beringia

"PUBLISHER or INTERMEDIARY or BOTH. If you own the app you're monetizing and/or you're paid directly by Google, then you're classified as PUBLISHER. If not, you're classified as INTERMEDIARY. If you belong in both categories, you're classified as BOTH."

The first part of that paragraph describes a binary choice, so how could BOTH ever be correct here? 🤡

Does publishing snapshots to Maven Central fail for anyone else, or is this just me?

If this so-called "Fediverse" burns to the ground, it won't be caused by any #Meta shenanigans, but by a weird mix of #DunningKruger and #MobMentality of a vocal part of its inhabitants.
