@lucifargundam I followed those links, but I don't think I understand what you mean. Unless you mean that they have an account that is also aggregating their content; I suppose so. Maybe what I should have done is try in create a bookwyrm account USING one of my other accounts

@Pat those are right along the lines I was thinking!

1 is what I am already doing with my tags, since orgmode tags (space not allowed) get converted to hugo tags (space fine), so I actually use another char in orgmode and interpret it as a space when converting.

2 That is the working solution I came to. In orgmode, surrounding by = does just that; I hadn't thought of using it for my underscore situation before this solution, though.

3 Occasionally I have done this, using some similar-looking utf8 character instead of an actual underscore. This feels dirty and might break stuff at some point, but it works for now if necessary.

Cool to totally agree in practice with what you suggested!

@writh @lucifargundam yeah, something like that. I was imagining the fediverse might have an integration deeper than mere crossposting, but I probably have the wrong understanding of how the fediverse works.

Having issues with exporting my orgmode blogposts where underscores were interpreted as subscripts, but sometimes still wanting subscripts, I was helped to a working solution. https://orys.us/un

I export orgmode to my blogs. However, when I have an underscore (like in a section header) it is interpreted as putting the next thing in a subscript. There are plenty of answers out there for disabling this globaly or for the whole file, but I WANT subscripts sometimes. How do I tell it to leave just a particular _ alone when I export?

I have been replacing java application servers with raw uberjar deployments, which are more stable and reliable. It takes a little setup, though. Notes updated https://orys.us/um. Improvements welcome, as I am just working out devops as part of my fullstack work.

In #Clojure when a function exceeds 2 sequential args it's time to consider using a map instead. In shell scripting, when bash exceeds single-level if statements, time to consider #babashka. Avoid questions like, "wait... has bash semantic whitespace?" "Do I need semicolons after every line?"

@Amikke I suspect somewhat more drastically than those are from firefox, since FireFox isn't made by Google...

good to know. Thanks!

@lucifargundam I imagine so that posting elsewhere can cross-post to Mastodon as one of my accounts, rather than being a different account that I follow with my account and boost the results just as if they were someone else

@Amikke It's just chrome + some built in plugins, right?

@freemo is it just, unnecessary upgrades make waste? Or is there a known issue?

I notice that #qoto is a number of versions of mastodon behind instances like mastodon.social, though it also works better in some areas. Any particular reason it is behind or just no reason to upgrade yet?

@lucifargundam Not verification. Just so that it can literally say, "this mastodon user said this on bookwyrm, or on peertube," etc. Verification as already here via, eg, website verification

Regarding the Fediverse, it's great that I can follow a bookwyrm account from mastodon. Does anyone know if there is a way of technically defining that a bookwyrm account is mine?

Read this article in reader mode, as it is itself smothered in ads top and bottom. But the point is, Google sells massive amounts of personal data as kind of a public secret; the worst part is that they lead you to think it is actually for your good and service that they do it. It goes to the point that privacy -- owning your own data -- is increasingly expensive

@writh yeah... some folks have it wired to display a warning or an icon to indicate that. I haven't bothered, though
