      MastoBlaster Build 94 is now available on TestFlight.

      This is a major release that merges several different development branches I've been working on, bringing together a lot of moving parts into a single build. A long, sleepless night…

      Here is what changed:

      • Full Drafts Support: A complete end-to-end draft flow. It includes auto-save, the ability to edit existing drafts, and a smart cancel confirmation that either discards a new draft or restores the original state if you were editing. It supports replies, quotes, polls, and media metadata.
      • Trending Posts: Added a new trending timeline type with proper offset pagination support.
      • Timeline Position Improvements: Added extra protection to stop SwiftUI from overwriting your saved scroll position when the view disappears or goes to the background. If a saved post can't be found in the cache, the app will now try a direct status fetch before giving up.
      • UI & Navigation Fixes: Tapping Content Warnings (CW), "Show Filtered Post", or "Show More" now goes through an inline-action guard, fixing the bug where tapping them would accidentally trigger row navigation into the thread. Filtered posts also get proper bottom padding so the list separator doesn't sit on top of the button.
      • Instance Compatibility & Tweaks: Added customizable timeout settings for slower instances (like snac on older hardware). I also fixed the 405 error when setting alt text on GoToSocial, and updated marker sync to strictly align with Mastodon’s documented form shape.
      • Testing focus: I've implemented search fixes ensuring queries stay locked to the account you are searching from. If you are on GoToSocial, please test this thoroughly and let me know how it behaves. Since this build is the result of a massive merge, keep an eye out for any regressions.

                                                                                                                                                                                              Thanks to a very kind soul over on the #69kMLA forums who was willing to mail a working #Macintosh LC sound chip across the proverbial pond to me, I'm very happy that the "sold as junk/broken" Mac LC is now fully operational!

                                                                                                                                                                                              To celebrate this, I decided to do a fresh installation of System 7.1 on it. I had up until now been using a modified 7.5.3 based off of the pre-installed images available on the #BlueSCSI website, the same one I had been using for testing and whatnot on my restored Color Classic, but I figured going slightly back in time would help these old machines perform a bit better.

                                                                                                                                                                                              Sadly I don't have an original boxed version of 7.1, those seem exceedingly difficult to come by, so I made some copies and installed it that way.

                                                                                                                                                                                              The difference in boot-up time is already incredible, though I do miss the expandable folders in the Apple menu. Perhaps there's an extension for that under 7.1, not sure.

                                                                                                                                                                                              Either way; everything seems to be running nicely, including the Presto 040 clone card, which really makes a noticeable difference in performance.

                                                                                                                                                                                              Now onto its companion CRT monitor. Recapping it wasn't enough, it seems like there's some more components inside that have gotten damaged by a leaky capacitor, so that journey continues. For now, though, I can at least use a VGA monitor thanks to one of those adapter thingamabobs.

                                                                                                                                                                                              Right after I had replaced the sound chip and had the Mac happily beeping and booping, I actually sat down and played SimAnt for the first time ever (!), and actually was able to complete a whole campaign. I had a blast!

These floppy disks are laying atop a mouse mat, with an Apple Desktop Bus Mouse 2 to their right, and part of a rather yellowed looking Apple Keyboard 2 to their left. Several more floppy disks can be seen loosely stacked towards the top right-hand side of the photo, all of which make up the full System 7.1 installation set. Right next to the second stack of floppy disks a chip can be seen laying up-side down. This is the old sound chip of the Macintosh LC that had died and has been replaced by a working one.
