@benroyce @KevinMarks Problem is people thought it was a good idea to write long form content on a medium built for very short form content.

Are there any tools that still work that will archive a really long twitter thread with images? -

does anyone know of any trackballs which are:@fluffy One of the better trackballs ever made was the Marconi RB2 Trackerball. If you hunt around on eBay you might find one.

Relaxing treatment of non-notes by Mastodon@thisismissem @trwnh @julian @pfefferle @manton @samsethi @renchap @andypiper Beware those stop gap solutions that become permanent instead of temporary in nature.

There was a time when I looked forward to an #AppleEvent.There was a time when I looked forward to an #AppleEvent. These days, with all the pre-event leaks, there is little point: the broad strokes of what will be released are known; there is no surprise; another increment in the product numbers and a bump in the specs. I simply wait until the day after, read the summaries, and am underwhelmed because there is nothing really new: I really miss the days of #OneMoreThing

Well I spent half an hour debugging why my sort wasn't stable, can you guess what it was@kayleesdevlog It’s at times like this that you really want a linter to say “dude, you got fat fingers?”

There is nothing more infuriating that discovering a website full of interesting posts only to discover they don’t have an #RSS feed.There is nothing more infuriating that discovering a website full of interesting posts only to discover they don’t have an #RSS feed. Gah! Given the website I'm looking at is clearly generated by some kinda CMS, having it spit out a feed would not have been too much effort.

: The social web via Manu Moreale #Tech #Blogging@kiko @cory @sarajw Alles klar.
Just because you have a standard, it does not mean it will be a success. It has been many years since they were published, and adoption outside the community has been minimal. I don’t think any advocacy will be change that. The world has moved on and they have failed to adapt to the change. (1/2)

As of today or yesterday, I'm new to this independent web / IndieWeb discourse.@sarajw @flamed @starbreaker I have much to say (and privately people have agreed with what I have said my reasons are), but I have held back publicly because these things have been said many times before and the result is always the same (nothing really changes. Plus, I don’t have the social battery to deal with it, and I’d rather expend my energy working on my own thing instead of trying to convince the unconvincable. My solace is that I am not alone.

: The social web via Manu Moreale #Tech #Blogging@cory @sarajw @kiko Just because something is a standard, it doesn’t mean that people will actually use it now or in the future. Outside of the comparatively small IndieWeb community, hardly anybody uses them. Even the latest IndieAuth is dropping (in client information discovery) the use of microformats (which says a lot about the place for microformats in the current web).

I remember Series 7 being where Red Dwarf starts to get weird but I'd forgotten just HOW weird.@fluffy Season 7 was where the writers (Grant and Naylor) split, a which is why it isn’t quite the same as before, plus, IIRC, the production company changed too. Smoke me a kipper.

I just turned down two interviews at $EXTREME_MONEY, one at Vanguard, because I feel like I really need to try this whole "run my own business" thing, and oh boy do I feel like I am behaving totally irrationally. -
#IndieWeb, on their own website, says@tyil @catgirlin Someone might say it is a case of do what we say, not what we do. Someone might also say there is a fine line between being pragmatic and being dogmatic. Nevertheless, some of what indieweb say makes sense; however, they have gone about it in a certain way, and they haven’t exactly set the world on fire.

One of my ongoing experiments with #WordPress involves blurring the lines further between blogging and social media interaction. There’s actually some really neat stuff you can do with the #ActivityPub plugin, the Friends plugin, and the Mastodon Apps ...@deadsuperhero @mro Th developer community has always, despite what they say, developed for other developers first and users last. Plus, what normal person wants to get involved with setting up a server, installing, configuring, and maintaining some software, DNS, and all the other things.

Links to spam sites with empty text@julian Would it be an idea to put some examples (redacted to protect the innocent^wguilty) into a github repo (or blogpost, or whatever) so there is a corpus of things to test against/watch out for?

Here's my main takeaway from the #xz crisis: require GitHub contributors to have a verified fediverse account in their profile links, and use it to find out what their actual reputation is.@evan It is a low-quality signal that just means mutual connections: interpreting anything more from that is unwise. IRL we have mutual connections, and I’m sure if we exchanged references/vouches about those mutual connections the result would not be identical because of our different experiences of interacting with them (we move in overlapping not identical circles).

Here's my main takeaway from the #xz crisis: require GitHub contributors to have a verified fediverse account in their profile links, and use it to find out what their actual reputation is.@evan Programmers are lazy/busy and barely have time to read the README file, let alone do due diligence on a package they’re importing. Plus, if we have connections in common, asking for any kind of reference is IRL highly dependent on personal whims and vendettas (and comes with no guarantees). For #xy it seems there were other actors “vouching” because nefarious actors will “juice” where needed: build their own network of connections to appear genuine to aid their agenda.
