Here's a first: did a Google search on something and one of my own Mastodon posts came up as a result.
Beginning to think that the cultural norm here of not allowing search isn't going to last all that much longer.
webxdc: at least 200 times more interesting than Web3 :)
I am really interested in this tech, #decentralized and #libre #webxdc #deltachat
@zulip Good to know. Thanks for the reply!
@Jerome That's true. All I know is that stuff "finished" and unmaintained now breaks because of Java...
@souldessin actually that does make me wonder if it had something to do with the hour -- perhaps the email service on free tier isn't 24/7?
@zulip and... it's back now, and all my queued messages went through at once 😂
One of the big downsides to being a hosted language like #Clojure is that, regardless of how awesomely stable the ideology with the language itself, you can't avoid problems if your host decides to make breaking changes. I am still doing damage control on the painful #Java 9+ #CoreChanges, where they decided it was time to shrink Java's core library and various dependent packages broke.

I remember seeing some research about productivity and remote work--they studied both telemarketers and customer service reps handing inbound service or support calls.
The employees taking inbound calls did better working remote, but the telemarketers did better co-located (because they could pump each other up in between getting hung up on or yelled at)
Anyone else remember this and have a link?

@icedquinn social things that report "online status" of users really bug me. I'm always hidden on Discord and Battle.net, except when it actually breaks functionality
The problem with the @username syntax is that, while the functionality is as common as emojis, it depends on the implementation of whatever host -- so what you write on Mastodon will not be treated the same on Twitter, or Instagram, or Telegram, or wherever else you are @ing. So hashtags are a much more universally portable way of communicating, and don't require linkage to a particular account or service. Also, a pity it doesn't have a formal name, like "octothorpe". #HashtagsNotAtSign
I guess that's the story of Google. And possibly FaceBook.

@Suiseiseki Here I thought that both png and webp were lossless formats. I tried with optipng, cwebp, and Gimp, with no noticeable differences to the file size
@fndriven at 70% quality webp are smaller than the alternatives from the camera. I thought this was a big enough boost to go with webp as a "sometimes better" format
@cosmin just tried this. Actually it made the png larger by a few kb 
Does anyone know how to convert my images from webp to small-ish png? Right now when I run dwebp, the resulting png is at least triple the file size of the webp. But when my camera saves directly to png, it's same quality but much smaller filesize. What's with this?
