Anybody know what #metadata @npub1rky…0xq2 looks at when deciding whether to show a preview card for a toot containing a URL?

@npub1xed…yg9w is that really independent of your well-being, or is that *in service* of your well-being 🧐🧐

Going thru old saved bookmarks, pruning dead links and editing down tags, and I came across this one from 2016, by @npub1xed…yg9w — https://www.zachleat.com/web/comprehensive-webfonts
Just wild how small the web world is, even historically.

@npub1xed…yg9w thanks for putting together! this is a nitpick, but your legend would be easier to read sorted by service, then size, versus the current pseudo random order.

The processes that control what external genitalia you end up with are — technically speaking — EXTREMELY FUCKING COMPLEX. The XX/XY stuff we teach everybody in middle school is kinda like Newtonian physics or the classic spherical cow of uniform density — a simplification useful for teaching young people and completely broken for complicated real world applications.

@npub1xed…yg9w the “inf” directory of https://git.genehack.net/genehack/auto-tooter has a minimal terraform configuration that does exact;y that. Happy to answer questions about it.

I can understand how the house building down the street involves a lot of sawing and nailing noises, as annoying as it is to listen to them all day. The frequent extremely loud shouting, on the other hand, is a bit harder to accept.

I’ve spent a lot of time in NYC, where EVERYBODY has a certain disregard for walk signals. I try to bring that attitude to wherever I happen to be — flagrantly jaywalking whenever it isn’t dangerous — and my absolute favorite part of that is when somebody else, who had been waiting for the signal, jaywalks after they see me do it.

Okay, leveraged (read: mostly lifted wholesale) https://rknight.me/blog/blocking-bots-with-nginx/ to automate robots.txt and bot-blocking nginx.conf for https://genehack.org — next step is turning that into a plugin so _all_ my #11ty sites can make use of it.

Up to three accounts and servers now. Great way to build out my #fediblock list, I guess. (Third one wasn’t Pleroma, but didn’t seem to be mainline Mastodon either. Further investigation hampered by a total lack of fucks about what fedi server is preferred by fucking fascists.)

So, I converted genehack.org over to Eleventy v3 — kinda expected it to be a bigger deal; aside from the package*json changes from just installing the new version, this is the whole of the diff:

Okay, fellow Americans — I think maybe we should consider making tomorrow, like, a spontaneous national holiday.
Nobody go to work, we all sleep in, then around noonish local time, we just have a giant nation wide street party.

Literally gave a less senior colleague this advice a few weeks ago: it’s okay to volunteer to be the person to step up to handle the new emergency BUT you also gotta say what you’re doing currently that’s now gonna be delayed/late because of the new thing you’re taking on.
You can’t absorb a new responsibility without impacting an existing one, and if you’re not vocal about that, you’re punching yourself in the face.
Don’t punch yourself in the face, y’all. https://glammr.us/@overholt/112527549646116722

@npub10fm…x0qg i think more at the OS level — _something_ is controlling what browser responds when I click on a link in an email, for exmaple — I want a routing table at that level, basically.

2024-02-18 18:08:00

Thing I would like to have: default browser exception lists, so (e.g.) all google.com stuff would open in Chrome, everything else in FF

@npub1q7h…79d4 @npub10fm…x0qg Also, a lot of objectionable shit went down on Twitter and he's deleted his account there multiple times to obscure evidence.
He also has (had?) a goon brigade that would dogpile critical commentary, to the point where people would refer to him as "L*nd*ke*" when tweeting about him to avoid his ego searches.

@npub10fm…x0qg he’s not questionable. He’s objectionable and problematic.
Independent of whatever issues Mozilla has, amplifying him is a disservice to everybody unfamiliar with him. It’s like RTing Jordan Peterson.

@npub12eh…vgsn the equally annoying thing in NYC at this point is it’s basically impossible to escape the pot stench. They made it legal to smoke anywhere you can smoke tobacco, which in theory seems sane to me but in practice it means 🦨 CONSTANTLY
