@mmasnick I think that's essentially solved by lists of hashtag follows. It allows you to create your own interest algorithms.

Then again, I always used Latest Tweets instead of the Home algorithm, so I'm generally fine with what Mastodon offers.

@taz Even so. The dumbest person I know could easily find a better way to spend $20B.

@taz There *must* be a better way to get a tax write-off than burning 20 billion dollars.

@PawelK I can't even parse that buzzword soup.

@PawelK "Support for freedom of speech"? Twitter now has the most restrictive speech policy it has ever had. Musk is banning people left and right for making fun of him. He banned parody.

How do we get a national popular #vote regarding banning any company owned by #Musk from getting a government contract ever again?

@arzi I prefer a slightly different method:
Put the player up against a near-impossible fight. Don't force them to lose, force them to grind away 10% of the enemy's health, unprepared. Make them feel like it's a slog, but they're making slow progress. Once they do, give them a reprieve by having them lose by cutscene and then give them the ability.

That way, you continue to build advancement on top of accomplishment.

Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance used this technique to good effect to reveal its Ripper Mode.

@Atalayaleda I think that will come when lists are able to be made public. Or when you're able to follow hashtags.

Both of which are upcoming features.

@daeyoung Some did, sure. Others of us saw it for the scam it was.

But the "abolish fiat currency" folks definitely tend to be more on the anarchist part of the spectrum.

@battaglia01 Yes, I'm pretty new too, but so far QOTO has been great for STEM stuff.

@derickflorian Been a long time since I've worked in C, but if I recall correctly, it processes all of the header files first, using them to build a map of functions and variables and classes that can be invoked (and which external libraries they require).

Then, it compiles the actual code files down into machine-readable binary code.

Then, the linker goes through and actually links that map from the headers with the built code (and any included libraries).

So, yes, the names of the c files don't matter that much. The names of the header files matter, primarily for include purposes.

In C++, the names of the cpp files matter more from a style perspective because the classes are more self-contained and should generally be in matching code/header files.

@jkosseff Honestly, I'm enjoying Mastodon more than I ever did Twitter.

I'm hoping more of the smart folks I used to follow on Twitter make the jump, but anyone who's on social media for the outrage probably won't want to.
