re: trains
@griffinkate Possibly related to the update note here? https://www.seat61.com/trains-and-routes/paris-to-barcelona-by-train.htm

The fact that we've already gone from "it doesn't matter what server you join" to "it sometimes really matters what servers you join" is a huge leap forward in collective intelligence when thinking about social media.
We've moved from technological considerations to social, cultural & political considerations. We've already democratized our mindset when thinking about tech.

just a note for new artists coming to mastodon:
i've noticed some of you tried to censor words like "patreon/paypal/ko-fi" etc because you seemed to do that during your stay in twitter because the algorithms would prevent your post from being massively seen
but you don't have to do that in mastodon, because there is no algorithm at all!
so don't worry, you don't have to hide links and other stuff!!
(ps: don't forget to cw your art please)
have a good day!
@norikawa Can confirm. With people who behave like that, the only thing that *sometimes* works is actually that immediate ban/suspension - it at least communicates that your moderation notes weren't optional...

what i've learned from moderating efdn these years has been that if someone doesn't respond positively to the first time you ask them to knock it off and stop being a shithead, you should just immediately suspend them because you're not going to get through to them

Ik hoop echt dat organisaties in het oog blijven houden dat online deelname aan een evenement of lezing echt toegankelijker is, zeker nu er allerlei problemen zijn met de NS en andere vervoerders.

Hey there, Admin of the Internet Archive Mastodon here. I've seen some people speculate/rumor that the Archive's mastodon instance is set up to be an involuntary vacuum spot for all toots passing back into the Wayback, and it is NOT that. Any archiving of toots would be some other project (and outside my knowledge) but the Internet Archive Mastodon is just another instance, doing the mastodon thing. Communicate with us at will.

Flauwe opmerking over DHL dienstverlening
Ik lees dat DHL een klimaatneutrale cityhub in de regio Tilburg opent.
Dat betekent dat ze daar ook gewoon niets rondbrengen en iedereen elke dag een email sturen dat ze mensen niet thuis aan hebben getroffen, en men het op kan halen op het depot.

Saw some takes today about defederation being bad because it means your clueless relatives will wonder why they can’t follow x big account (Stephen Fry for example) from their instance, which means they’ll just join dot social and stay there because it federates the widest.
My official position on this is that that fucking rules actually because you can just defed from dot social and chill with people you actually want to spend time with 👍
@goat@hellsite.site Wait, really??
re: solution
@autumnull I actually found it in a real-world codebase that I was auditing! It was in ESLint, and I was staring at it for like 10 minutes before I finally realized how it was meant to work, and figured it'd be a neat puzzle to share :D
re: solution
@autumnull Bingo, that's exactly it :)
re: solution
@autumnull All of that is correct, but what role do the lookahead and backreference play here?
