Metadata missing on ~music listings?
I just noticed today that in ~music, the "topic-info-source" metadata isn't visible in listings; it shows the author name instead. Clicking through to the post it's clear that it's been scraped,...
I just noticed today that in ~music, the "topic-info-source" metadata isn't visible in listings; it shows the author name instead. Clicking through to the post it's clear that it's been scraped, it just doesn't get a site name or favicon.
eg: Youtube link on ~movies versus Youtube link on ~music
Is this intentional? It sorta makes it look like everything on ~music is a text post.

I just started biking to work this week, and I'm loving it so far. I still need a lot of gear for max comfort, and I need to work out whether to shower at work or what, but I'm excited to figure those things out.
Wondering if anyone else on Tildes commutes by bike, what your experience has been, any tips you might have!

How could we regulate biased/lying media outlets and aggregators without encroaching on good ones?

I find this to be a pretty important question when news organizations like Fox News are literally aiming to help the Republican Party to stay on power, CNN and MSNBC promote centrist candidates and media aggregators ranging from r/the_donald to r/chapotraphouse banning anyone who opposes them. Thing is, these are the most well known examples. How could we tell faulty media sources and aggregators apart from good ones in mass? Do you think that's possible?

Over the last week, a number of updates have been made by people other than me contributing code to Tildes through its open-source repository. I wanted to make a post to highlight some of these changes and let everyone know about them, since there are some great updates and fixes in here:
@deing made it possible to create links that will pre-fill the subject and message for private messages. For example: https://tildes.net/user/Deimos/new_message?subject=Test+Message&message=Please+don't+actually+send+this+to+me
@blitz saw me make an offhand comment about a rare bug when someone submits a link to an IP address, and got a development environment set up and fixed it right away.
@Bauke has been on a tear, fixing a lot of long-outstanding issues and adding features. So far:
- Added a way for users to view their two-factor authentication backup codes (previously you could only see them at the time you activated 2FA).
- Added "View Markdown" for comments and text topics. This is inside a new "More" dropdown menu, and will show you the markdown that the poster used, so that you can check how they did some formatting or copy-paste if you want to use someone else's post as a template of sorts.
- Added new settings (under "Site behavior settings" on the Settings page) to always open links to Tildes groups and users in new tabs.
- Fixed a few issues with inconsistent interface elements and styling.
There are multiple more merge requests still waiting for me to review, and I'll probably be making some other posts soon once some of those get merged in as well. Thanks, the contributions are greatly appreciated! If anyone else is interested in looking into contributing, the CONTRIBUTING file in the repo is probably the best place to start.
And as usual, I've topped everyone back up to 10 invites, accessible on the invite page.

Romantic relationships in gaming are often heavily debated, with lots of criticism and lots of support for the myriad experiences out there. I don't have a single specific question related to the topic, only some guiding ones. Feel free to answer any/all of these, or simply give your thoughts on the topic:
- What are some games that you feel have handled romance well?
- What are some games that you feel have not handled romance well?
- What particular advantages does gaming have with regard to portraying romantic relationships?
- What particular disadvantages does gaming have with regard to portraying romantic relationships?
- Are there any games that have depicted romantic relationships that were particularly resonant to you?
- What would you define as some "best practices" for game writers/designers with regard to in-game romance?
- What would you define as some "mistakes/errors" for game writers/designers to avoid with regard to in-game romance?
