Actually yes. If my neighbor openly, to my face, celebrated the state murdering hundreds of thousands of people in war, I would absolutely challenge them on it just like above. And I have, in fact. I see you’re more interested in civility politics than any kind of justice, so yeah: maybe it is time to fuck off and find some instance with people who have empathy and principles. Thanks for the “warning”.

I love escalating war and feeding more working-class people to the meat grinder for the sake of capitalists and nationalism.

Uh huh. Your country, too, fighting Russia to the last Ukrainian, I see.

So the lesser of two evils it is.

So…which of those evils does your government fund and arm, by chance?

Supposedly Revolt is FOSS and is similar to Discord. I haven’t tried it yet, though.

Have you tried Revolt? It’s supposed to FOSS and offer similar functionality to Discord. I keep meaning to try it, but haven’t gotten around to it yet.

IMO it can be MUCH simpler. Deleting content should propagate across federation just like adding content does. De-federating should retroactively remove all content that it would normally keep from propagating (possibly leaving “this post/comment deleted” markers so that replies make sense). And losing track of an instance for long enough (e.g. a week, or a month) should be equivalent to de-federating, possibly with the option to resurrect content when and if the instance comes back online.

I believe that would remove a lot of the issues with extra traffic, and possibly a lot of the issues with extra processing. I don’t know enough about the protocol to tell whether it would add requirements for extra data, but I suspect it wouldn’t.

ledger because I love to know about my money

Nice. I’ve been putting off for some time trying to find something better than GnuCash or buckling down and writing my own. This looks perfect.

jq for parsing/formatting/manipulating JSON, and its yq wrapper for YAML. Holy shit you can do powerful queries with them.

When Google first started making a name for itself, it actually returned links to shit where the content literally had the search terms in the visible text. Ah, the good ol’ days before the fuckin’ search engine decided it was smarter than its users.

Nice! But why isn’t it “pylemmy”. SMH. ;-)

I’ve been doing development in many languages over the years, including C++, Java, Python, and Go. i do everything from the command line: tmux for multi-tasking, vim for editing, the specific compiler and other language tools, makefiles, grep, etc. I am plenty productive, and I find the speed and generality of the tools I use make up for the features an IDE might have out-of-the-box and that I have to either take a couple more steps to accomplish or write some kind of script to help with. Basically “the command line is my IDE”. Also nice to not be dependent upon a windowing/desktop environment to get stuff done. Nice and portable and lightweight on dependencies.
