#tweesecake — Public Fediverse posts

Afternoon mastofolks. Well, this is my first time posting via the website, since the #Tweesecake app appears to be down. It keeps saying Mastodon: unknown user...really hoping I don't have to delete and reinstate my session.

Afternoon mastofolks. Well, this is my first time posting via the website, since the #Tweesecake app appears to be down. It keeps saying Mastodon: unknown user...really hoping I don't have to delete and reinstate my session.

Now, I am having a strange problem with TweeseCake. I just used it about four hours ago on Windows 7 and it was working fine. I came back and opened the program and it asked me to log into TweeseCake itself, as if I were a new user. I already had an account (you can't use this client without having one), so I signed in. But no Mastodon information was saved. So I entered my credentials, but it didn't open Firefox to take me to the someplace.social page. I tried it on my Windows 11 machine, and again, instead of keeping my saved information, it asked me to sign into TweeseCake. As before, no Mastodon information was saved, but this time, when I entered my instance, Firefox opened and it took me to the authorisation page. I then took this copy of TweeseCake and saved it to my Windows 7 machine, but when I opened it, it still asked me to log in. Normally, I can take a portable coppy and use it anywhere. What on Earth is going on? I am using the last version because every time I try to update, no matter which version of Windows i use, it never works. Did they finally fix the program so that this won't happen? Do I need to ask someone to build a Windows 7 client for Mastodon? Why did it do this, even on 11?

Alright, #Tweesecake users...anyone else notice something odd in the latest update? I'm finding that none of my buffers pre-fill as they always have, except with the latest posts. So if I use control+win+alt+up, say, in the mentions buffer, I literally can't see anything that came through before I updated though it says I have 3361 items in said buffer. Same is true with timelines, home, and all the other buffers. Is there a fix for this? Running Windows 11 and 0.2.0 Build 6 of TC.

The #Friends Tab seem to be broken on the #Mastodon session with #tweesecake as the tab opens, but nothing appears, even though I am only #following, well, not so many.

I've already had to re-authorize #Tweesecake for both my Mastodon accounts three times in just as many days. Every time I put the computer to sleep and come back to it the next day, reloading previous posts does nothing to catch me up, and my timelines refuse to update until I delete the session and re-add it. I had an issue at one point where switching screenreaders killed the client's ability to speak while in the invisible interface, which I think has gone away, but I sort of wonder if that's what's broken... if my switching screenreaders is still breaking things spectacularly but in a different fashion.

What on earth? I just updated #Tweesecake, and now it doesn't read things to me, just their number, and even that is only put on my braille display.

There is quoted post support with #Tweesecake now. Why is it still that with some posts, I get something like "re: insert long URL here, person's comment" and then no reference post? Are there people manually posting in this format? Argh.

Can anyone tell me what on Earth is going on with the new TweeseCake? The update process was very strange. I hit enter, and instead of simply downloading and installing the update, it opened the Windows terminal! I had no idea what I was supposed to do next, since no commands were entered, nor did I hear anything about installation, so I just closed it. Now, it says I'm on the latest version, but most things in my timeline keep showing up as "list item" with nothing being read. This is the second time they made an update and I had to revert back to 0.18. I am genuinely confused as to why it's doing this.

Not too long after I asked if #Tweesecake had been abandoned, it gets updated. Certainly intriguing, but the keymap used for composing a post in the invisible interface doesn't bring up the new post dialogue. It looks like Windows 11 is grabbing it because I get a notification that comes up which says, "New notification from File Explorer, Error generated while getting the trace." The keystroke I did use for that now changes the nickname for a particular user. I wish there were a way to assign keystrokes from within the app, as those who aren't tech savvy are going to have a really hard time figuring things out. I'm finding I have to use the actual interface more and more for things because of key conflicts with one thing or another, which kinda voids the purpose of having an invisible interface, which is a lot of what I like about TWC and similar clients.

Okay guys. Has #Tweesecake been abandoned? I'm kinda feeling like users of this mastodon client have been rather severely left out to dry.

Guess who's using TweeseCake with Windows 7! Just one more program to go, and then, I can officially return to using it as my daily system! This program isn't essential, but it would be nice to be able to use it. Regardless, I will definitely be going to sleep with a huge smile on my face now! I love the Kex program.

Evening mastofolks.
So I've just loaded up #Tweesecake, to find three mentions, each giving an identical urgent update about a family in danger, saying that a $50 can save the lives of this family...
Yet when I try to look at the account posting these updates, there's no user information to show.
Not sure, but thinking these might be false updates.

*If anyone can help me with this, I would sincerely appreciate it. I have no interest in discussing whether Windows 7 is supported or not. I know it's not, and I am choosing to use it. I have everything I need, except a Mastodon client, so right now, I am using 11. And no, I have no interest in Linux either.*
I normally use TweeseCake, but it doesn't work on Windows 7, and it's closed source, so there is no way of changing that. Apparently, there is a version of TWBlue that did, but I can't find it. I just tried a client called Fast SM, and it's wonderful. However, it doesn't work on 7 either. Judging by the Github page, it seems to be written in Python. I am not a programmer, but would it be possible to get modern TwBlue or Fast SM to work with Windows 7? Both of these are open source. If not, then does anyone have the old version of TWBlue?

Finally, it seems that, unlike TweeseCake, the others have some sort of retrieval limit. If, for example, I'm not on Mastodon for a day or two and have 400 notifications, TweeseCake shows all of them. But the others only show a certain number far below that. Why is this, and can it be changed?

As a side note, I tried Whalebird and it was an absolute disaster with NVDA.

Maybe I've missed something, but is there another #Mastodon client for #Windows besides #Tweesecake that is reasonably accessible? Apart from web interfaces.

About two months ago, I somehow sat on my keyboard (I'm using a Toughpad, so it's external), and I heard "the current window is muted". I was using TweeseCake at the time. No matter whom I asked or what I did, I couldn't figure out how to unmute it. This only affected TweeseCake, and only when using the built-in speaker, as it worked fine with my Skull Candy Ounce. The other day, on a whim, I began researching it again and I found the answer. Apparently, Windows 11 has a feature that allows users to mute sounds in specific programs. They can be unmuted by typing "volume" in the search box in the start menu, then tabbing to "apps". There, you will see a list of all the programs that are running. Arrow down to the one you want, and then hit tab. There, you should see a mute or unmute button, depending on your current setting. I still haven't found the shortcut that I pressed to start this mess, but at least I now know how to fix it. I hope this helps someone.

Good evening mastofolks.
Does anyone on here use #QFeed? I just bought it and the user interface is indeed very accessible. Unfortunately, however, none of the 18 feeds I've tried to add could be recognised by the software. Anything I'm doing wrong? I know these are valid feeds, as #Tweesecake has accepted them in the past.
Cheers for any help.

OK another stupid thing, whenever you try to play a radio stream, you get the following: You are unable to perform this action without a license. Please check your internet connection and try again.

And this is your lesson for the day, not to make your software reliant on phoning home to an activation server to simply work, otherwise your users are gonna have a hard time when outages happen #Tweesecake

I'd use #Tweesecake, but its not easy to set up the keyboard commands thatI want to set for it when I use the invisible interface like I can with TW Blue, that and twice already, my settings have been set to default and it sucks.

I am noticing something quite disturbing. I use #TweeseCake with #NVDA to read posts here. Most of the time, #AltText reads correctly. But sometimes, it appears as if none was written at all. Yet, when I go to the page of the post in question using Firefox, I can read the alt text. I have no idea what is going on. But twice I have replied to such posts asking for alt text, only to learn that it was there! Please, if there is a way to resolve this, I ask that someone either tell me or that the developers work on a sollution. It's not fair when people add these wonderful descriptions to their posts, only to receive such messages from us, just because our software didn't read them.

Hey #Tweesecake users,

What's the name of the folder you're supposed to create inside of the unzipped folder to turn the app into a portable copy?

Thanks

The Muppet Central forum feed is dead and the website won't load. This is concerning. If nothing else, how do I get rid of it in Tweesecake if it's dead? Now it just says "unknown feed" and won't let the other feeds load in the order they're supposed to. #Muppets #Tweesecake

I blocked someone so that I won't see his posts. Yet I keep seeing them, not merely in boosts but also from him directly. I checked, and there is an option to unblock, to clearly, he is still blocked. Again, this is with TweeseCake, which also doesn't respect the filters that I set on Mastodon itself, and now isn't playing sounds. It's a good client otherwise, but this really annoys me.

#accessibility #blind #TweeseCake

*Update. I still need help. I just deleted the data/roaming folder, as well as the portable TweeseCake folder. I then copied the portable Tweesecake folder from my thumb drive, reauthorised my accound (for the second time today) and signed in. Still, there is no sound! I just opened TWBlue (it's working for once) and its sounds are working. I have no idea what is going on or how to fix it!*
I lost the sound in TweeseCake. Somehow, I hit something and NVDA said "current window muted". I restarted NVDA, but that didn't help. I tried the unmute session hotkey from TweeseCake deleted the TweeseCake folder from Data/Roaming, then resigned into my account, then restarted Windows, and still, there are no sounds when I make, like, or boost posts, or when new ones arrive, etc. And yes, I did check the volume. Other sounds in Windows work. How do I fix this?

Hmm, looks like we all better get good at using things like Enafore, because I'm almost certain #TweeseCake won't support this new quote feature that's rolling out.

I want to view my timeline without all of the nonsense that I worked so hard to filter out. TweeseCake does not respect my filters but TWBlue does. However, every time I try to start it, it says that it quit unexpectedly and it won't start. I then have to close it from the task manager. Despite appearing to be portable, it's not, and some information is stored on my machine. But I can't figure out where so that I can delete it and try to start the program again. Can anyone please help me or suggest a better accessible Windows client for Mastodon? I really hate this, since TweeseCake allows for editing of posts, but I don't want to see these things in my timeline.

In TweeseCake, if I boost something, how can I have Firefox open my actual boost of it and not the original page? Also, how can I get it to open the page of a post to which I am replying i.e. not just the page with the last comment, but the original post.

*Sorry for the edits. My client malfunctioned.*
Is there a way, either on Mastodon itself or in TweeseCake, to make posts with content warnings be displayed normally without having to click on them? I find most content warnings to be laughable, since the reasoning behind them is often ridiculous.

#accessibility #blind #NVDA #Mastodon #TweeseCake

Someone made a thing to automatically back up your #TweeseCake settings a while back. I have no idea who or where to find it, can someone help?

I wish #TweeseCake supported lists...

I open my windows 11 VM on Mac after a long time of not doing so, and #TweeseCake picks up all the telegram messages it needs to. Always makes a grand old noise indeed.

Oh gosh, I'm kinda pissed right now. Of course, #TweeseCake decided to nuke the config for both my Mastodon accounts again, means I've completely lost my position in the timelines, and can't even go down to the last point I stopped because it doesn't fetch that much of old posts. We need the fucking rewrite or finally a better client.
