Anyone here planning to watch Devin Townsend's virtual concert on September 5th?

babe caller

@Gargron seriously considering it, especially with samus playing!

Eugen Rochko

It's actually fucked up that it's almost September and starting to get dark earlier. I feel like there were only a couple of weeks of summer since the last winter. And I remember the last September too well. At least then I got to be in Athens.

@Gargron (almost) Anything to get this year over with

Karen E. Lund 💙💛

@Gargron I hate hot weather, so I look forward to September (and October!), but I do miss the daylight. It's a compensation, I guess.

Although it has no meaning in 2020, I love baseball but hate Summer, love Autumn but hate football (the American kind).

As my Scottish Grandmother used to say, "It's aye something."

@Gargron we've been having temps of up to 111fahrenheit so I'd rather summer be over.

I read one Justice League comic in my life and I remember it was something about the Martians replacing air on Earth with something that doesn't allow open fire, and I can't find what it could've been online. Anyone know what storyline that was?

Alright, so I cut myself while peeling potatoes. Put a bandaid on not sure what else to do. Fingernail damaged.

@Gargron Schälen oder pellen? English is imprecise here.

@Gargron If you cut the nail to the skin under it the nail will grow out with the bloodspot and eventually the spot will dissipate.

@Gargron that happened to me once. Finger went through a blender. You need an x-ray to make sure the nail bed is not damaged. If it is then you may need an operation. Good luck

@Gargron @ most of the fediverse.

@Gargron was it the new one or the animated one?

@Gargron We are not Disney People™ but Mulan is a weirdly beloved movie in this house

If you run a regional Mastodon server, you can lock the language the interface appears in with the DEFAULT_LOCALE environment variable.

@Gargron this sounds like a "did you know" startup popup window

@Gargron couldn't you use the #UNIX `LANG` and `LANGUAGE` #EnvironmentVariable which does the same thing rather than define a new variable specifically for the purpose?

In my humble opinion, we should stick to as much of the #UNIXPhilosophy when developing for UNIX ( unless you plan on supporting Windows natively ).

@Gargron Really? But according to the code, it seems that `current_user.locale` (if signed in) and `session[:locale]` will be considered first.
Also, I just did a local test and failed to lock the language for new user(it will use `session[:locale]` instead)

I've been working on improving the UX of joinmastodon.org with @pamdrouin and the changes are now live.

@Gargron @pamdrouin

Good improvements, and nice to see it updated to show off the more recent main UI for Mastodon....

Victor Venema

@Gargron Looks good.

"We only list communities that are committed to active moderation against racism, sexism and transphobia."

There used to be more criteria, like regular backups and multiple people with access to the computer, iirc. Are they dropped? (I cannot find the sign up page for communities any more.)

There was a community I found interesting, but on their about page you mostly see toots from other communities. Would it be an idea to only show local toots?

Mike, First of His Name

@Gargron @pamdrouin is there some way you could provide a lighter theme for it? Just for the documentation section at least, I can't look at this for an extended period. Light on dark themes aren't accessible for everyone.

Is "decentralized network" a tautology or not? Trying to write something

@Gargron well, you can have a network topology that's essentially nodes attached to a hub, and those nodes might or might not act as hubs themselves. That's the typical network topology of the internet - although it was designed not to be like that: it's just how it's ended up because of commercial ISPs.

Fahim Ahmed

@Gargron I don't have any friends!! help me 😞

DS-Tech Media✅

@Gargron I don't think so no. A network is an obvious plurality, but can easily have a central coordinator (master) and consist of mostly satellite/slave units. An example could be a local network of time share terminals with all the logic in the central machine.

Approaching my 12th hour of working today. My brain has melted long ago.

Didn't even get to do my daily walk because of a thunderstorm today.

Oh, I just realized the screenshot on joinmastodon.org hasn't been updated since the single-column UI became the default 😬

@Gargron I wouldn't worry too much - my onboarding experience was smooth and straightforward.

Steve 🇨🇦🇺🇦

@Gargron it wasn't until I read your post that I realized I turned on single column as "an experiment" and it's still on months later and I love it.

Detun3d

@Gargron
We've got to change that. Our UI is still the old one.

@Gargron it’s a wonderful movie! It’s like experiencing a dream, it touches me because I do dream a lot.
