    So I try to follow someone on another pump.io server, and it tells me I'm about to authorize the other server to do absolutely anything it wants to my account here. Thanks, but no thanks.

    Yes. Receiving messages from other people means their servers need to write to your inbox, and currently the server has no more fine-grained access model than all or nothing.

    When you're authorizing other servers to do stuff with your account, it's because you're doing remote login.


    Using a different client might or might not require such an authorization.

    I can tell you that using Dianara you need to authorize the program, but then you have zero need to give permissions to any server.


    It's probably the same for Pumpa, Impeller or Puma.

    No. This is how pump works currently. It's at the core of the delivery mechanism. If you follow you need to give write access. The client is irrelevant.

    So, some notes end up repeated because utter lack of feedback makes me click Send repeatedly; other vanish into the aether. There's no way to delete notes, either. And it all moves so slowly, not to mention inconsistently.

    With all due respect, pump.io is broken. Wake me up when we stop solving the wrong problem again and again.

    Just to see how it works, allow me to announce my latest game. It's a roguelike... for the ZX Spectrum. How retro is that?

    Well done and congrat! There are some video artefact (some monsters or objects are disappearing and reappearing) but overall it's very good and enjoyable to play!

    So... we still have links to groups... which no longer exist? Are they going to be re-added or...?

    Also, how do I edit/delete a note? The new user interface took me by surprise and I double-posted.

    After making a couple of games back to back, I can tell you that playtesting should be a well-paid, respected job. !gamedev

    WTF, people. I shouldn't need a Google, Basecamp, PayPal, GitHub or ANY particular SAAS account to work with you. E-mail, anyone?

    People, look. In business, 'urgent' is short for "we don't know how to set priorities or plan ahead".

    Is it clear yet that we can't treat the Internet as if it was subject to national borders? Realistic. Laws. Now. #

    Can we please have mass IPv6 adoption already? I'm tired of explaining enthusiasts that it's not the cure-all they think it is.
