People do be sleeping on Rishloo though

John Dick

@Gargron Rishloo the band? Are they still around? Prog Rock isn’t everyone’s cup of tea. Those who love it really really love it. Everyone else tends to be indifferent.

What do your tea caddies look like and where did you get them?

@Gargron My office desk drawn often holds some in small plastic clippy boxes or little kilner jars, at home its mostly big tins that people got me with like christmas tea and other similar tea based supplies in cleaned out with bags of other tea in (sometimes they get relabelled correctly).

Asimech

@Gargron I have refilled them, so I think they're technically still just "tea tins" in which they were sold, but they're round (when looked at from the top) and both look like an elephant.
One grey (Earl Grey) and one pink (Darjeeling, IIRC) elephant tin.

I think my mom bought them during a trip around Finland, from a tea shop. But that was over ten years ago.

What do I do about the popout player obscuring the toot button on mobile. Disabling the popout player on mobile is probably the only viable option... 🤔

There's not much preventing a 3.3.0 release, just have to sort that issue out...

It is interesting to me how people turn what they know into what they don't know sometimes without even realizing. Like it's not a secret that I am German, but by writing "German-born" in place of "German" it's no longer correct because those are not the same thing.

@Gargron Wonderful. Germany is amazing and I have family living west of Frankfurt and my 7th great-grandfather was born in Mainz. I was born a Brit!

W4RNER

For context "The platform was founded by German-born developer Eugen Rochko in 2017" in mic.com/p/inside-kolektiva-the

just wait until they start turning what they know into something they know will hurt you: like referring to Mastodon as "Twitter with NAZIS, built by GERMAN Rochko"...

I mean they described kolektiva.social as "built by" them instead of you so I wouldn't put it past them XD

Trying to internalize the rhythm of the bridge section of The Valley by Leprous on bass :thinkhappy:

I just straight up don't click on Medium links anymore because it's all behind a login wall anyway

@Gargron I'm going in the same direction, notedly.

@Gargron use uBlock, it blocks it, I think. If not I've seen some other solutions, but I don't remember how were they named.

Updated mastodon.social to latest code from the master branch. Personally a fan of the new streaming API mechanism that allows the whole UI to use just one connection instead of having to open separate connections for each timeline.

@Gargron I'm on Safari and I have to refresh the page often to get new toots. Is there something I can turn on or off to have Mastodon stay up-to-date across all columns?

ourdiaspora

@Gargron
As a user of Hubzilla as a "bridge" between various parts of the fediverse (diaspora, hubzilla, mastodon, peertube, etc.) the latest update seems to have broken this interoperability: magnum.hallertau.social/channe

What the possibilities to fix, for a hub administrator? ;)

One thing I wish #Ruby had was private methods in modules, so that I wouldn't have to worry about polluting the classes that include those modules with various module-internal helper methods.

@Gargron
ich finde es sehr, traurig das man hier auf eine Frage keine Antwort bekommt wie viele andere. Das stelle ich leider hier sehr stark fest.

@Gargron there are some tricks though. Like evalling on "Module#included" . Solution worse than the problem, though.

My take is that if you want private methods on modules, modules are probably not the right solution. You probably need a refactored inheritance chain instead.

I think it would be cool if churches displayed statues of biblically accurate angels

@Gargron I like the angel in the Old Testament that held a sword to Balaam in the talking donkey incident

@Gargron Pretty sure angels were invented after a DMT trip

I built a custom platform for joinmastodon.org sponsorships on the gold/platinum tiers (those are the ones that get a medium-sized logo/link on joinmastodon.org) using Stripe.

I don't think the Patreon tiers are going anywhere but this alternative method has some advantages over Patreon for both parties. (I'll go into more detail in a follow-up post)

The billing cycle isn't bound to the 1st of the month, so you have no risk of being double-charged if you pledge near the end of the month; if you're a business in the EU you can use your VAT number to not get charged VAT; there's an annual billing option with a 10% discount; uploading your logo is more straightforward than having to message or e-mail me. And on my side, Stripe takes far less in fees than Patreon (~2.5% vs 10%).

@Gargron best thing about that movie is that it's an accurate snapshot of Toronto geography and 00's culture.

patience: an idea, más o menor

@gargron anyone who doesn’t root for Toronto is *not* helping

@Gargron I have a source in Pennsylvania who informs me that the slowness of the count is because a recount is expected and they want to be doubly triply sure.

21 hours in the morning, as I like to call it when my sleeping schedule goes to shit like that. Or, alternatively, there's always a relevant xkcd.
