Phanpy now has a version of https://cohost.org 's best feature, and it works with your existing Mastodon/Fediverse account https://indieweb.social/@laurenshof/111997146906858162 TLDR: You follow 40 people, but the people who post infrequently tend to get their posts flooded off the TL by high-volume accounts such as me (mcc) asking cursed C# questions at odd hours. Wouldn't it be cool if you could get the best elements of a sort-by-last-post view and a sort-by-account view in a single screen? (See screenshots at link.)

Attached: 1 image Traveling while queer is so often an experience of weird looks, people trying to reconcile the beard and the skirt, quick vibe-checks when entering a business to make sure I feel safe. It's an absolute delight to stop into a little breakfast place as we're getting on the road, and have the big questions be about how we liked our drinks because the person making them was trying something new today. (The answer is that they were excellent.) Genuine friendliness to the queer couple in a small town is such a nice way to start a day.

I added some validation and link checking to this docs folder about a week ago. It's already pointed out something broken on three different pull requests. #DocOps turns out is a good investment, even though I was sure I knew what I was doing and these tools would help "other people" 😆

I am choosing to log off, but if anyone’s still thinking tech.lgbt is a good space, your admin David is currently propping up a conspiracy theory written by the Admin of woem.men about The Bad Space that refers to my instance and others as a cult that blocks a huge amount of trans femmes. Thank you for reigniting a genuinely traumatic time in mine and many other people’s lives. I look forward to the transphobia, erasure, threats upon me and mine, and whatever other bullying your friends have in store. Also, get fucked 👍

Liked Propaganda and polyamory: Revisiting the Hunger Games
Post details
Prompted by having read the prequel novel The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, I recently decided to re-read the Hunger Games novels. First of all, I was curious about the prequel - how can a prequel about the villain of the series tie in? The prequel tells the (love) story of a teenage Coriolanus Snow, who later becomes president (dictator would be the more appropriate term) of Panem. What an odd book to read, because how can you make a novel about an entitled narcissist, who treats people like possessions, possibly compelling? While his rise to patriotism is sometimes interesting, [...]

I am so fucking sick of “Oops!” And “Oh No!” In error messages. “omg bestie I’m like, sooooooo sorry, there was an error but I’m afraid that’s my little secret ;) try again dickhead” Please just tell me there was an authentication error. So I can Google it. And provide useful information to your exhausted support team.

Liked Go first impressions
Post details
Go first came onto my radar about 9 years ago when I came across MuMax during my PhD studies. While I’ve touched it briefly, I wouldn’t consider myself to have used it in anger until recently, when I started a job that uses it as one of it’s primary languages for API development. I’ve had experience in writing C and C++ code, but more recently I’ve done a lot of Python, so going back to Go has felt oddly like a throwback to those compiled languages I’ve used before, with a bit of modern sparkle.

Liked go run by breadchris

It may seem silly, but go run is my favorite part about go. Want to run your code? go run main.go. It is so stupidly simple that I could tell my mom about this command, and she would immediately understand. Like with most things in go, the real power in this command is in the effortless understanding of how to build and run everyone’s code. But I can run node main.

Ah, another day on the Fediverse. What should be sup on today? **spins the wheel** The pointer spins round and around, past “everyone sends you pictures of their pets”, “you live post about this weeks mental breakdown”, “death threats” and “a nice simple conversation with a new mutual” It slows; moving gently past “spam wave”, “blocking is abuse” and “John Mastodon” Inching closer to its destination you hold your breath, it seems like it’s landing on “meta conversations about meta conversations” but you hope it will be “you will spend the day local-only posting to the people on your instance, checking in with them and asking how they’ve been” Alas, the pointer has picked its target. “admins can read your DMs btw”

Attached: 1 image I dunno how new this is but The Guardian seems to have stripped all social media cruft from their byline header stuff and replaced it with a “Copy Link” button. Rather than change the Twitter buttons to Xs they just got rid of the whole farce. Nice to see.
