Somewhat Improved Service

Really Quite Bloated Application

Terribly Obscure Tool

@trinsec @meechele7 Agree. But give it a chance. Write an introduction, favorite some hashtags and put hashtags in your posts if you can remember to do that and it makes sense. There's no "algorithm", hashtags are essential, although boosting is also useful.

@deech Interesting. I’ve seen that dynamic from a few poor team members but here in embedded c++ land with good team members I’ve only had good experience with mandatory code reviews. Helps improve code quality and helps educate less experienced team members. Maybe with a less brittle language it might not be as valuable.

@freemo just how to set it up why you set it up that way what are the benefits etc for future reference mainly, nothing in particular—I’m just curious mainly. I wouldn’t be bummed if you didn’t have time to describe it but it sounds like it would be useful for others as well.

@freemo Would love to read about this in a little more detail.

@freemo @fourmajor Search is pretty wonky in my experience. If I search for "Hector Martin" I get the right match.

@tarek@social.sdf.org I switched in 2015 to emacs+evil after 20+ years of vi/vile/vim. I would say if you want to learn a new language (elisp) and a new editor, and don't mind a hobby for a few years as you go down the rabbit hole, and you like to customize your editing experience (likely endlessly), then you might be a good candidate for emacs. I recommend evil, so you don't lose your muscle memory, and can use vim/neovim in a pinch.

@SpinozasHeresy To be honest, from a black person's point of view, not "being ok with white people" is perfectly reasonable considering what has been done to them historically as a group, and rather mild at that.

Looking at that video, I have to say, Scott Adams equating "not being ok with" to "is a hate group", which is the dumbest thing I've heard this year. What an asshat.

Twitter: "Hi, we're run by a cryptofascist who reinstates the accounts of literal nazis while suspending those of press. We'll keep randomly taking away features with no notice and limiting your visibility until you pay us a monthly fee, which you can only do in a handful of countries. Vaccines are bad, the election was rigged, and we love Putin!"

@kreyren I'm not sure I see the whole picture, but honestly the developers seem reasonable from what I read.

BTW,If you are recreating a branch via cherry picking, you should use git rebase --onto instead, it's conceptually the same but far less pain for you. See matthew-brett.github.io/pydago.
This usually turns conflict hell into "ok rebased", or at least a lot less to fix.

@pwinn They switched from blocked to silence(aka limited) and then unblocked completely. I suppose it was somewhat of an evolution of thinking over there. If they had kept it at any level I probably would have migrated to another instance, probably hachyderm.io ironically. Hachyderm was the only instance I wanted to follow people on where blocking prevented it. The other instances that block qoto I can do without.

Following the rabbit trail of related issues, it looks like they think the next version (4.1?) of mastodon will fix the issue. No clue when they will be rolling that out though.

@pwinn @mekkaokereke hachyderm is no longer limiting qoto but there seems to be a bug that continues to restrict following. You can look it on their GitHub issues. I’m in my phone otherwise I would give a link.
