I made a bot, @lexicmazes, which posts a daily perfect acyclic maze with words as walls, e.g.:

@2ck I don't think there's any particular feature of the fediverse for a video game besides the people. The walled gardens have entire demographics of people to cater to, but outside the walls, we're scattered.
I see this type of game being less of a game and more of tool to make games. If i'm understanding spritely and @cwebber's work, we should be able to build something akin to a de-centralized roblox.
i think that thought tracks with your suggestion for federating game events outward.

So I've always wanted to be a game dev, but like an indie game dev. I think I finally have an idea I want to build.
Currently thinking a game where players sign in with their fediverse account and can explore the fediverse. To use plain terms, imagine MMO Fedi RPG.
Each instance is like a planet in No Man's Sky. Only residents can build/delete there, like Stardew Valley.
When you're near people, you can chat with them and make new friends.
@cwebber long term, should I be thinking Spritely?
@arrjay that sounds psychically painful

"Don't say it that way. Say it this way." "Am I always and only supposed to say it that way?"
What happens here, sometimes, especially if the moment is emotionally charged, is that the NT person thinks the ND person is being rude, exaggerating, trying to make their request sound stupid.
That is not true. The ND person has just been given a new rule with no parameters. They are trying to discover them by starting at the furthest end and seeing where they end up.
Is anyone else into change ringing? I started playing around with swapping adjacent characters in a sequence, and started graphing the edges so it's easier to trace out and play the sequence on my ukulele. It struck me that this is a similar sort of thing to change ringing, though the paths I'm following through the graph don't enumerate all the sequences available

@11thJeff I can see that. It's definitely a design decision they had to make to have "boosting" vs something like a Tumblr "reblog". Since you gave me reason to think about it though, I do prefer not to give people any "ownership" over the things they boost, so boosting on its own doesn't reward me socially. It *may* draw some followers if I'm consistently boosting things they find interesting, but for real engagement (and not the kind marketers want) I have to type out my own thoughts. I think that's a good bias.

I'm torn between whether to recommend watching all of Endless 8 to someone watching Haruhi Suzimiya for the first time or just maybe I,II,III,VIII. You need I and II to establish the premise, III (or possibly a random one of IV-VII) for the building sense deja vu and the growing number of repetitions Nagato recites, then, of course, VIII for the conclusion, but more seems potentially alienating besides being unnecessary to "get" it.

@troublewithwords @m2m interesting. I create bookmarks, but I never return to them. they're basically like private "favorites" right
@cyborg_writer @baruch @neilhimself a bit like the summer intern telling you in late July, "My name is actually Helena, not Helen," but I guess it's really never too late
@11thJeff ... want to know your "influence" through boosting, but I'm not sure you can get at that info. possibly it's metadata on a post, but I can't get at that right now on mobile to check
hi @11thJeff. I generally reply to the original post if I want to join the conversation. Boosting, I do when I think the post should have more people see it. I guess you want something like "follow this thread" or "show replies to this thread from people who I follow" (what you describe sounds more like "show replies from people who follow me", but you also say "mutual follows"). QT wouldn't quite achieve the former since it's basically a glorified way to easily add a link to another post when you start a thread. You have the "replies from people I follow" already because that's how Mastodon works. You maybe also
hi @Hey_Beth. difficult to say for sure without knowing which post you're referring to, but servers may block each other, or silence another server which could explain why you don't see the replies. Post visibility could also affect things, but unless it's "followers only" or direct, you should still see the replies if you open the parent post
@danhoops could you explain what a "Norwuz action" does?

With translucent, jewel-colored ears, Glass Gem Corn was developed by Carl Barnes, a part-Cherokee farmer and breeder from Oklahoma. Barnes crossed several traditional corn varieties and saved seed from the most vivid, translucent kernels. It was gifted to Native Seeds Search by Bill McDorman, who acquired it from Barnes' student Greg Schoen following Barnes' death.
A flint variety, it is used for making flour or as a popping corn.

Listened to Wells reading an excerpt and I rather enjoyed it. From the bit I heard, she has an interesting take on the interior life of an artificial being. I look forward to reading more.

@humanisttrek Although I reckon Courage didn't know at the time how much of a hit Star Trek would be, seems to me it's a lesson in the importance of carefully considering contact implications / hiring a lawyer well-versed in contacts.

The Library of Congress posted this story and image earlier today, dropping the story of how Gene fucked over Alexander Courage on the #StarTrek theme copyright/royalties.
“Raise your hand if you're a Star Trek fan. 🖖✋ Here's an interesting piece of trivia for you from the U.S. Copyright Office, which is housed at the Library of Congress: Alexander Courage's original theme song was submitted for copyright under his name on November 7, 1966.
