Visible mending
I was thinking these socks were through but then I decided to try a technique I've seen recently: adding an actual patch.
I picked up stitches below the whole damaged area, a few stitches wider than the damage. I knit enough rows to cover everything, then grafted the live stitches at the top and sewed the sides down.
On the inside I got away the worst damage and then wove loosely over the whole to fix the sides.

@fiberarts #visiblemending #solarpunk #fiberartsAnd it's pretty too!

@fiberarts #visiblemending #solarpunk #fiberarts@FanCityKnits it looks great!

I like this technique, I was planning to use it on a modern knit stretch top, on really fine needles.

@fiberarts #visiblemending #solarpunk #fiberarts@fiberarts @FanCityKnits should try this I never get the weaving technic right.

I had problems with weaving a long time. Until I got a speedweave clone.
After a few mends I'd understood the concept and ditched the metal thingie. But I still use the wooden base with the rubber. A small embroidery hoop probably would work as well.
The most important thing is to really fix your field of repair: it has to be rectangular, straight and at even tension. For socks at about the tension the fabric has when it's worn. And then just work until the hole is covered.

@macfranc @astronomia ricordate di acquistare solo costosissime auto elettriche per combattere l'inquinamento.

@virtuous_sloth @scottjenson actually, it doesn't separate the composition of private mentions from other types of posts. It's an option on the drop down. If you forget to change the option, your PM goes out with the default visibility -- often public!

@evan @scottjenson
phanpy does a great job

I think some people were using PMs for potentially sensitive info (addresses, Venmo, etc.), and having them slightly more secure puts people at ease.
What about standard public-key stuff, dropping a short public key in a metadata field, keeping the private key on the endpoint or in the client?
-
@scottjenson not at all critical.
Hint: you could re-run this as a poll, for the question.

@evan the already improved UX looks good, to me.
When drafting a reply to a public toot, the word 'Public' is prominent (first screenshot).
When drafting a mention, the separation is clear (second shot).
Without being blasé about privacy: if a person accidentally publishes in either of those contexts, it's human error.
