I wish I could mute an entire domain. I can mute and block single users and prefer muting, but I can only block an entire domain which isn't ideal in those dark grey cases where the instance has a mostly crappy community and muting it would be a quality of life upgrade, but it's not so bad I want to block it.

Been on nixos for a few weeks now, and have about 6 computers migrated to it all running off a single universal configuration...

I have to say, this is the most impressed I have ever been by a distro, this is a game changer!

"The planetoid 440794 was given the name Wytrzyszczak after the name of dr. Iwona Wytrzyszczak" man I feel sorry for foreign astronomers already lol

look I am a professional at coming up with bad and nonsensical solutions to non-problems (HAVE YOU SEEN MY KEYBOARDS?) and even I must bow at the feet of the kind of shit JS coders apparently do every day

"Stair dust corners are flexible, triangle-shape pieces of brass or nickel that keep dust from accumulating in stair corners. They were introduced near the end of the 19th century as a way to simplify sweeping."

Unpopular opinion: 0-based arrays are an artifact of the C array implementation details and not some One True Way Arrays Shall Be Indexed In Code. I appreciate languages that try to overcome it, both old like Pascal and new like Julia.

webdev rant 

If I were to choose which one of HTML, CSS and JS I hate the most, it would without a doubt be HTML. This actual piece of garbage is barely a functionality superset of Markdown and is good at describing neither simple "hypertext" pages it was designed for nor 2D maps of content that modern websites are; not even mentioning full-blown web applications. It's the reason we need CSS and JS frameworks in the first place.

If you want to blame something for web bloat, blame HTML for being so shit it requires that bloat.

so every time russian trolls hit an ukrainian open-registration mastodon instance, the fediblock gets lit.

first come the outraged that demand the instance gets immediately defederated or else, because they host nazis.

second come those with good advice. “i encourage you to do x, y and z, all of which will limit the accessibility if the service to your fellow people, but will make everything so much more convenient to us

third come those who offer to help: moderate the instances in the hours when the shelling and bombardments make it impossible for the admins to log in, or screen the join requests.

lol, the last para was just a joke. no-one on the fediblock cares, and after all, no-one speaks ukrainian or whatever is the language there.

fediblock: keeping the fediverse clean for those who speak majority languages.

Quick reminder that when a society bases its politics on magical thinking, this is the kind of shit that happens

@slash@cdrom.tokyo @maija@akko.disqordia.space The proper watch order of Haruhi is so infamous and was so often discussed that some anon accidentally solved a real world superpermutation math problem with it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superpermutation#Lower_bounds,_or_the_Haruhi_problem

ChatGPT and AI could completely replace the need for StackOverflow for coders as long as it constantly told me my question was irrelevant, had already been answered, and berated me for not doing my own research first and then downvoted me.

in case you don't know what this account is: tapir is a fediverse platform for single-user instances. i am a test instance, a dev blog, and possibly an actual tapir (who can say for sure?)
