@ptrck he is a real piece of crap.

Debating if I want to take Linefeed paid or have it be a thing I let people use who ask. Content moderation is a lot of responsibility and I’m not sure it’s a game I want to be in. If I want to charge money, there are plenty of things I can do that don’t require me to do that.

Listening to this podcast episode about Beanie Babies and they sound like NFTs, the comic book bubble, and probably half a dozen other things I don’t remember. People keep falling for this. Now I wonder if the mid 2000s housing bubble was the ultimate expression of this.

@muncman I might give Helix another look. I wonder if it has much of a community around it.

@SimonWoods that is good to know. I might migrate away from it for my own thing to something simpler.

Part of me has considered basic analytics for my websites, but not knowing is nice too. I was shocked and delighted when I saw someone say title.love was their most delightful title casing tool.

The aforementioned Hobonichi cover.

@gdp yes

One gold star! I’m a real programmer 😂 Interested to see how challenging these Advent of Code questions get, and also how quickly.

@SimonWoods it’s pretty good too.

I’ll be checking out the Hanami web framework for Ruby for the first time on stream tomorrow at 3:30pm PST by going through their “getting started” tutorial. Sign up to be alerted, or just show up tomorrow using this YouTube link.

If I hear someone talk about how the Greatest Generation stormed the beaches of Normandy, and younger generations need safe spaces to protect their feelings, I point out that they had safe spaces too and that it was called segregation. Why do you think suburbs exist grandpa?

@ndreas yes that’s why I want to try it. Oregon.

@DaveyCraney Oh now I am going to try this! Thank you.

@manton I think that’s what gets me about Mastodon. l don’t really understand exactly why instances need to exist in the way they do other than making it easier to sort of superficially work like Twitter.

@jessekelber this was also a concern I had. Hm.

@jessekelber I think I’m going to go with a TWSBI.

@manton That place is amazing. I went in February 2020 and thought “I should come back here soon,” and then moved out of the Bay Area before I could have.

@muncman They grow up so fast

@vincode same.

@jeffmueller I am not loving the part where they are only mostly kind of compatible and my friends are spread across them.

@bennorris thank you! I’m hoping so.

@rickgigger Yes, obviously with an interpreter it's different. Smalltalk is more-or-less self hosting and there was an alternative Ruby implementation called Rubinius which was as well but didn't catch on.

@niclake It's a good app :)

@isaiah Hello, friend!

@rickgigger If the goal is a compelling open alternative to Twitter for normal people, Mastodon is the equivalent of asking people to give up Word for Emacs.

@rickgigger Aiming for December 5th.

@gpittman I kind of forgot about that. I should go try it. Thanks.

@danielpunkass You’re lucky to work with such considerate people. Have you always done your own payment thing versus one of the processors that handles it for you? I just looked up and saw Kagi closed six years ago after fraud issues so maybe not a bad idea 😬

@gpittman yeah that is what I thought it would do so I am soaking it for now.

@jimrea I mean, yeah, that’s why I watch them. I’d prefer that if something is really “add this one thing here and here” I can get the synopsis in text form and not a 10 minute video that involves booting up a new project and creating the views for this tiny thing.

@mrbeefy Totally. Most of these are lightly if at all from what I've seen. It's part of the reason I think I've had trouble making my own because I really want it to look like a WWDC video and that's work.
