@david I assume it’s not #ivory but iOS / macOS doing such corrections/replacements depending on context. I think it’s a default behavior of edit fields. Not sure if it’s possible to turn of just specific behaviors - probably turning of all automatic is possible but then no autocorrect would be there at all 🤔 not sure if this would be a good thing or not 😅

If it’s @ivory doing it by itself I would be surprised but it would be very interesting how they do it

@ivory @tapbots hi, very minor inconsequential (to almost everybody besides type nerds) buglet:

If I type an opening quotation mark, then some text, then a closing quote, Ivory seems to randomly correct the straight marks to the proper “curly" quotes like here with the opener, and sometimes it does not.

"text" “testy" this is very erratic and unpredictable. Sometimes Ivory corrects the marks, sometimes it doesn’t.

"text” <— this is an example.
“Text" <— yep
"nope" <— no correction at all.

I didn't force any of these by typing opt+[ or shift+opt+[ to get the proper marks.

Anyway I don't know if the intention is to replace straight quotes or not. Just pointing out the behavior.

Ich teste gerade den Wechsel von #Ivory
zu #Mona #mastodon #client @MonaApp

Entdecke dabei ein witziges Feature in Mona:
Nachrichten „zeitsouverän“ (geplant) veröffentlichen.
Klappt echt gut wie die Screenshots zeigen.

Vermisse im ersten Moment am Mac etwas die Multi-Spalten-Ansicht von Ivory. Aber vielleicht bringt das auch wieder mehr Konzentration aufs Wesentliche 😇

Ivory ist auf jeden Fall vorerst gekündigt ✅

@ivory

Version Suport Request/Bug
(Recently did a clean factory reset. 15.5)

In Ivory,I'm unable to get the mac to correct typos, using the right click/select contextual menu.

In Apple apps, I can right click, select correct word and click to swap it in.

But in ivory, the correct spelling isn't subsituted.

Check & Correct Spelling are both on, in Edit/Spelling & Grammer

Any thoughts?

#Mac

In den letzten Monaten habe ich vermehrt auf #Threads gesetzt, um mich auf dem Laufenden zu halten. Aber der #Algorithmus spült mir da zunehmend belangloses Zeug rein. Einiges war durchaus interessant – aber vieles wiederholt sich und wird immer wieder kopiert.

Also zurück zu #Mastodon, wo ich gezielt Usern und Tags folgen kann, ohne ständig Blödsinn vorgesetzt zu bekommen. Als
Client hat sich abermals #Ivory durchgesetzt. Mal sehen, was hier noch so geht.

@jtk I'm mostly happy with #Ivory, but not completely. The previews are not well designed, particularly for YouTube. (Yes, I have made a feature request; no, I haven't heard back.)

What I really want/need is the same interface on iOS and macOS, and Ivory seems to be the best so far at that.

400,000-year-old ivory tools found in Ukraine rewrite human innovation timeline

In a discovery that pushes the history of human innovation back nearly 300,000 years, archaeologists in Ukraine have excavated the oldest deliberately modified ivory artifacts. Discovered at the Lower Paleolithic site of Medzhibozh A in western Ukraine...
