@dragfyre Hey bahaibot on reddit is all of a sudden posting a lot of biographies to the history subreddit. Looks like it's been going off pretty close to every ten minutes for the last hour. I have a guess you might run that bot too - is this the intended behaviour?
Hey @freemo the web interface looks to have changed recently. The "read more" link used to expand a long status in-place; now it just loads it in the rightmost column. Any way to bring back the old behaviour? If I want to load a status in the rightmost column, I'll click the body text itself. If it matters, I'm using the material theme.
@freemo @louiscouture Ah okay, here that is a difference between renting and leasing. You might have to give some months' notice before raising the payments if someone rents a property from you, but if it were a lease you couldn't raise the payments at all before the lease term expires.
@Demosthenes I like Tusky; I found Fedilab to be super battery-hungry.
I think I'm missing something here trying to follow the argument. At the point when the landlord is paying his mortgage off at $1800/mo or whatever, those payments are due whether the house is occupied or vacant. If he decides to not rent it at a loss he has to eat the whole cost himself; if he rents it at a loss the rent money will defray part of the cost. Apart from keeping the housing supply low - which is exactly the problem Barcelona wants to fight - I don't see what advantage the landlord gains from leaving the house empty.
@freemo Top story on HackerNews will do that lol
Kind of. It's another case where the app is not necessarily controlled by the same people as the service is. You can subscribe to any repository you wish from F-Droid by entering its URL. By default, the app ships with two repositories enabled: one hosted by the app maintainers and one hosted by the Guardian Project, but there are others you can find online.
Criteria for inclusion into a repository are set by the repository owners. The F-Droid repository hosts only open source apps, and the Guardian Project repository hosts only Guardian Project apps. As far as I know, the app itself enforces no restrictions on the content it will allow a user to access.
@freemo Yup. Google's starting assumption is that the app and the service are controlled by the same organisation (and this is actually a valid assumption in most proprietary, and even several FOSS, apps). So consequently they can punish you for mismanagement of your service by interdicting your app. Now we come along with our federated peg and it doesn't fit neatly into their hole for siloed apps, and their assumption breaks down.
@freemo The only reasonable model I see if Google takes a hard line on this is for apps to maintain a whitelist of known well-moderated instances, given how easy it is to set up a cheap instance to troll from. And if the app developer is supposed to be personally responsible for the content accessible through the app, then he'll probably only whitelist an instance he has control over. So you'll have a QOTO app, Gargron will have a Mastodon Social app, &c. If Google doesn't like some instance's moderation policy they ban its app.
@freemo Gab doesn't federate (i.e. they broke server-to-server communication) but as far as I'm aware you can still use Husky to log in (i.e. client-to-server communication still works). Tusky has a "feature" that I think directs you to a deradicalisation page if you try to log into an account on Gab, but the Husky derivative removed that block.
@freemo I think this is basically an ultimatum to the app maintainer to "implement a block on Gab".
The F-Droid build of Librera doesn't have the online components.
@freemo That's fair; I'm less worried about following a particular set of rules than finding something that works, i.e. is legible, convenient, and hopefully visually appealing. The rules tend to be a good starting point, though - in this case, the full R is more legible following high-ending letters, but the half R is more convenient elsewhere.
Your example is actually really helpful - the trailing stroke of the R pinches closer to the bottom of the S, and the loop at the bottom of the S is larger, than I tend to draw. Accordingly, the S doesn't look like it's floating off in space like mine do. Very nice, that gives me something to emulate!
@freemo Ah I thought it was the *preceding* letter *ending* low that indicated the use of the half R, not the following letter beginning low. Makes sense, thanks!
@freemo Oh hey, it's the "full R" again! It even looks good after a letter like E that ends low. :)
I've been trying to use it in my writing. First problem is breaking the habit of the "half R" I've used since the third grade - I don't often catch myself in time to use the new letterform. Second problem, though, is that I can't get a satisfactory result with the RS digraph - I always end up with an awkwardly large gap between the bottoms of the letters. Would you be willing to post an example of that's supposed to look?

@ramob It's a typesetting markup language and the software to parse it. It's more designed for producing papers than taking notes, but I think it'd meet your needs given the other software you've used for the purpose.
I switched from Texstudio to Latexila a few years ago. The canonical recommendation for people who like WYSIWYG entry is Lyx.
@ramob what are your thoughts on LaTeX? It's strongly hierarchical and has linking through the hyperref package. The downside is that it's kind of verbose, which might be a disadvantage in real-time notes, but most decent IDEs for the language (e.g. latexila) should help mitigate this.
I think the video is playing in reverse.
Kontrust - Sock 'n' Doll could hijack the "tell me why, tell me why" hook. Mentally switch over when you reach that line, and now you have yodel-metal stuck it your head instead :þ
