Great sauce! I had some of this spicy chili sauce, Sambal Olek, at a Mediterranean restaurant of all places and had to get the name. I don't think I can have it as much as I would have Sriracha (tingle factor is a bit too intense for that), but it immediately climbed into my list top sauces

@BennettTomlin@twitter.com now do yours

extremely tired of running into this idea that the solution to online bigotry is hiding that you're a woman/person of color/LGBTQ/etc.

I feel like I, upon discovering Mastodon, found the total, like, 5–6 people I wanted to follow and've just stuck with them for the last 3 years so I don't know how effective asking the greater Fediverse will be but

Does anyone know of any artists on here who either can do ASCII art or, while not the medium they usually inhabit, are willing to give creating it a try? 'Working on an all-text video game and could use someone who's open for commissions, right now.

i hadn't thought of it like this or put it in these terms, but the fire nation committed genocide multiple times and had plans to just continue doing that

@izaya like what? most "European" ingredients got to Europe through the spice trade with Asia or as a byproduct of colonialism

@peterdrake it's probs just where you are: i was able to schedule for next day at Walgreens at a convenient time

@CJameson yeah...I said I don't think it would be at the level of AP.

🎶 hey, this is crazy, but here's your password, so change it maybe 🎶

Furry universe where every species uses a different system of traditional length units based on their body parts, forcing programmers to maintain complex tables listing the ratio of e.g. wingspans (hooded crow) to kneetops (elephant (asian))

21. Gall’s Law:
A complex system that works is invariably found to have evolved from a simple system that worked. A complex system designed from scratch never works and cannot be patched up to make it work. You have to start over with a working simple system.

@max hell if i know😄 I don't see why it couldn't though. i figured it would be an extension or something though. I know there is scope for that kind of thing since qoto, for instance, has some customizations for various things

@max no, I was talking about subscribers when i said "users" in my previous post

@max i don't understand your argument that because it's different for different users, the clustering must be client side. the server already stores divergent info for diff users. i never said it should be a global setting, shared for all users registered on an instance

Avatar s3e8 "Puppetmaster" is extremely my shit. I wish they had had time to explore some the development of Hama's relationship with Katara and to draw out the "turn" where Hama's dark side is revealed

@junbird oh, yeah i know jack about what actual masto servers actually do. just think as a value-add, they could add annotations like clustering hints.

I want server-side so when i use tusky or the browser, i can have a similar experience in that regard. technically, it also seems a lighter lift if the client doesn't need to know the clustering rules and can just handle presentation.
i get the discomfort with opaque algos on the backend, but we're not out here pretending we know exactly what's running on servers we don't maintain, right? using annotations seems like a way to have the clustering without the server having the scope to quietly tailor your experience, since you can always turn off clustering client-side

@junbird i think it could be server-side in part, though I'm thinking it's like the server providing hints about how some posts could be grouped beyond just being in the same thread. I took a stab at some basic clustering params:
