What!? #PHP strings (like stuck in to email) keep linebreaks, while also allowing \n and \t!? What is going on? This doesn't happen in JVM-land...

Meta is in fire. They just sacked 11,000 staff. That's 1/8 of their workforce.
What's more, Zuckerberg insists on investing further in the metaverse—he's fiddling while Rome burns. https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2022/nov/09/mark-zuckerberg-meta-to-sack-11000-workers-after-revenue-collapse-facebook-instagram

Meta is laying off 11,000 employees? That's a lot of people. 😞
@datenschauer I've been very pleased with their crossposting. https://moa.party/
Whoa. moa is now crossposting my comments, as well as my posts. That's new. #noxp

Asking the wider fediverse: is there a reliable 3rd party scheduler that allows you to include images with alt text?
(perhaps @feditips knows?)
Upon downloading a page, I found the images are data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN... stuff. I figured there should be a quick way to view them, but I can't find one. Any help with viewing images that are base64 svg+xml?
What is that for? A recommended blocklist?

Was thinking the #TwitterMigration reminds me of the OPPOSITE of the GooglePlus launch.
Then you had a very robust, polished Silo of a Facebook Clone site. Pretty full featured and shipped like Googlers ship all their products...but a Ghost Town.
Here you get something no one owns, not even one platform like #Mastadon owns. And it is already well beyond in some ways what Twitter offers, in other ways different and rougher...but so ALIVE with people, inventing new ways to extend and use.

Yesterday instead of writing a script in bash I gave Babashka (a Clojure interpreter) a try. I would say I’m more proficient with Bash than with Clojure at this point, but I feel the resulting code is actually better with Babashka: having access to a REPL is really a game changer for writing cleaner and more modular code. A very positive experience overall, thank you @borkdude!

@elevynn I was a heavy Goodreads user and was happy when I was able to import most of my books from there. Some didn't make it, but it was good. I should probably seek a different Bookwyrm instance than the main one, since it is getting inundated right now.

Huh. Wishful thinking, but I wonder if it’s actually getting to him. This isn’t his only whiny shitpost about #Mastodon.
@sean how can I use the same account? I have a goodreads account which I FOLLOW from my other accounts, but it's not the same account

This one is for all the new people on #Mastodon: did you know that the #fediverse has more than just a microblogging replacement? And that they can all interoperate with your Mastodon account?
Check them out!
Facebook replacement: Friendica
Instagram replacement: Pixelfed
YouTube replacement: PeerTube
Spotify replacement: Funkwhale
MeetUp replacement: Mobilizon
Reddit replacement: Lemmy
Podcasting replacement: Castopod
GoodReads replacement: BookWyrm
@elevynn I love bookwyrm. The interface has some major room for improvement, and they are sometimes very slow (even before the Twitter-flood), but I like them.
