My new standalone @gotosocial server is set up, and I'm getting ready to migrate over to @kelson

This one (keysmash.xyz) will stick around for a bit while I look through bookmarks and boosts and old posts. If I read the docs correctly, I should be able to mark this account as moved and still be able to go through my archives afterward.

"Taco Bell Programming" - sometimes you can just use different combinations of the same few Unix tools in a 10-line shell script instead of building super complicated distributed apps with the lastest tech stack.

I have never been able to remember TV episodes by number. I'm much more likely to remember one from the title, or "the one where...[some salient event]" (Unless the number is 1 and it's a show that does special season openers or season-long storytelling.)

Tell me something like Season 3 episode 5 of a show and I'll have NO IDEA which one you're talking about. Tell me something like "DS9: Far Beyond the Stars" or "Discovery: Choose Your Pain" or "The TNG episode where they found inorganic life that called humans 'ugly bags of mostly water' and I might know instantly.

Oh please, it's not "far left" to point out that Donald Trump is super-racist. That's part of what his right-wing supporters like about him.

Oh this is cool: Fairphone is selling wireless earbuds that you can repair and that have replaceable batteries! https://shop.fairphone.com/fairbuds

Comics Are Dying: The Comic

For the better part of a century, people have said that comic books are dying. Crisis after crisis, the comic book industry has survived and lives to this day. So, to celebrate its harrowing journey into the 21st century, a satirical OGN about the history of comic books has taken shape. Introducing the ironically named Comics Are Dying: The Comic - a brief history and celebration of the comic book industry!

Interview with the writer who planned the book and teamed up with 100 artists:

You see, this whole project started because I am sick of pessimists, naysayers, whiners, bullies, and opportunists screaming from the heavens about how comics aren’t like they were when they were a kid. I see so many bigots and ignorant folk online complaining about diversity or inclusion and how they want comics to go back to the old days. I think that’s so stupid.

Comics are changing and they’ve always been changing. They’re art and no medium of art stays the same forever. Some of the stuff people complain about has been in comics for decades anyway, so it’s really just a “complaint of the week” for some people. Truly just a miserable lot of fandom. On a more positive note, I see and know the wonderful creatives working today and the heart and soul they put out into this work. But, the joy of it is that I’ve met so many people from all over the world living vastly different lifestyles, but they are unified in their love of this business we call home. It’s a great unifier and a source of creative community.

So, the only way to fight against those clambering for death is to live your passion and express your love on the page. That’s what this book is about. It’s a celebration of not only comics but the people who make them too.

Nice! The preliminary filter support in @gotosocial 0.15.0-rc1 can be managed in Semaphore, and works in Semaphone and Tusky timelines.

Unfortunately: Tusky can't manage the filters, and both clients treat them as hide completely (without the option to use a warning instead), but I suspect that's because GTS has only implemented version 1 of the api so far.

Also: Elk doesn't seem to support filters on GTS accounts at all, though it can handle filters on Mastodon accounts. I wonder if it's also the api level, or if there's another issue going on with it.

Kid found a "5D Chess" game where you can move pieces backward through time and branch off new timelines, and also move them across timelines. But still following their usual rules for moves (ex. Move the knight forward 2 and over 1 timeline)
