I remember reading rooms were much more popular to have at home when I was growing up in the early 90s. I still visit a few old houses that have those, such a nice atmosphere

I tried to get them to voluntarily stop, but I’m afraid I’m going to have to recommend a #Fediblock against flockingbird.social

They are scraping post content and making it searchable

*Edit:* It will be difficult if not impossible to block them, because they are evidently getting their content from the hashtag timeline API of botsin.space

Free Advertising Update (see thread): between emails, DMs and replies on this thread I've had somewhere between 33 and 38 people ask for advertising, and I've put 33 ads up (some weren't a good fit or had bugs that firefox didn't like).

The recurring theme is that all these sites are WEIRD

I'd forgotten how WEIRD was the realm of the personal hobby website

It is truly wonderful browsing these sites and I will generate a full page of them for you all soon

For those that don't know or won't watch the video, starting in the late 1950s, bipoc people in the Palm Springs area who could afford the more expensive homes outside of redlined neighborhoods, were living in an area known as Section 14, and were hastily evicted from their homes purchased by development corporations. Some people even would go to work and come home to their house bulldozed over.

Any other #MastoAdmin notice that the Storj e-mail they got tonight didn't put the recipients in the BCC field so all 265 e-mails are visible? 🤣

If anyone has citations for the “fix retention before you try to recruit” argument related to institutions and inclusion of minoritized demographics, my brain is broken please leave them here?

Boosts appreciated.

I like that the edit function in Mastodon alerts people who interacted with the original post.

Not sure if it was the main purpose, but it means that if you posted something and want the correction to reach those who read the original, you can append an update and everyone who boosted the original will see it.

So at what point do we make the same link between Rails and DHH that we made between HP and JRK? Like I know a lot of people use Rails but I’m definitely starting to feel the susness

@aurynn A developer sees themselves more like a young person hacking away at something for fun. This is still held as an ideal. They don’t tend to see themselves as a professional contributor/operator of an important social system with serious responsibilities.

All of which is essentially unfit for someone trying to affect the culture of a social space that emphasises the importance of culture over convenience. Arguably, the archetypal developer struggles with that very idea.

Ooohkayy!! the first pre-release of PSD Importer for #GodotEngine !
worked a bunch on making the documentation and README as good as I can.

i'll definitely get to that, but for now, enjoy this little prerelease! #GameDev #rust

Time for a Completely Unscientific Poll because I am a wee bit curious. Please boost this for reach.

Writers of Mastodon: Have you ever gotten a false positive on tests that claim to detect AI-assisted writing? I have a sneaking suspicion that neurotype is a factor here, so I'm adding "autistic" and "non-autistic" separators in the options.

techbro: I'm gonna write code to take advantage of all this juicy Mastodon data!
Techbro, shortly later: wow the Mastodon people are really unpleasant to people who take advantage of all that data, and that makes me sad and now I won't make tools that unethically take advantage of all the data

Me: System working as designed.

this was the best thing I ever tweeted

The aim of https://Fedi.Garden is to help people discover small and medium sized servers on Mastodon and the Fediverse.

All of the servers listed comply with the Mastodon Covenant (https://joinmastodon.org/covenant), have fewer than 50,000 members, are open for public signups and block threads.net. They can be any sort of Fediverse server, not just Mastodon.

If you run such an instance, send me a message if you'd like to be listed.
