Sometimes you just need to make someone listen to The Dear Hunter, you know? It's just how it is I probably go way overboard with supplementary material when I listen to it with other people. It's like when you point out the Peter Jackson cameo in the Lord of the Rings movies, except with recurring musical themes that represents a specific character and doing lyric analysis right then and there MDN doesn't say this, do Access-Control-Allow-Methods and Access-Control-Allow-Headers have defaults if you don't return those headers? I.e. would it be sufficient to just have Access-Control-Allow-Origin for static files to be served? Need it for a documentation thing. @Gargron i didn’t realise that *-Methods existed, and it’s been years since I set it up myself, and at the least “get” worked just fine without me being aware that *-Methods existed. so for it to not work now in some browser would mean that browser broke backwards compatibility with my site. (which i haven’t checked) Matrix has really shaped up since the first time I’ve used it. Just installed Element on my phone.

  @Gargron I have high hopes, but it still just took me like half an hour of screwing around to get the IRC bridge working on Element. Will keep hoping that all that nice public investment will make the difference.

 The most annoying aspect of mosquitos isn't even that they bite, but that they emit this insufferable buzz. @Gargron That sounds great! I can't wait to get Matrix up and running on my homelab as well. Thank you very much for making Mastodon, by the way!  @Gargron I find that flies (plural) aren't all that loud, but that a fly (singular) can be very loud and annoying. "How could I ever trust my Mastodon admin with my data? A large company like Twitter is more secure because they have proper procedures in place" A large company like Twitter:

  @Gargron still not using webpack in my projects, still making web apps that work fine ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ A journalist is asking me how the Indian community of Mastodon is doing after its late-2019 rise to prominence. Unfortunately unless someone here has any numbers I'm going to have to say that I don't know, since Mastodon does not track user locations...

@Gargron as far as I see, most of them returned back. Some stayed. I took some time exploring the Fediverse[1], and now I'm working on creating a new Mastodon instance. Fediverse is very inspiring! Although I'm sad that this is no news for the journalist. [1] @Gargron most went back to twitter because they lost their audience and the immediate traction they got over there. The Indian community here is very small.

@Gargron It is funny to me how Twitter just posts merrily about their "new API" like it's the hot new thing when they've systematically burned bridges with every app developer after ruining a flourishing API ecosystem a few years ago

@Gargron The hubris once you reach a certain size is ridiculous and I would love to sit down in a room with them one on one and ask them "Would YOU use your own product?"  @Gargron Looks like the last remaining functions of Tweedle will stop working. So sad... At least Mastodon is still up. But this is some kind of major issue. I can't resolve DNS to mastodon.social (which still used Cloudflare, my bad), but I also can't resolve DNS to mastodon.online, which uses Exoscale for DNS. Both still work for me from the browser, I think because all the DNS is cached, but god knows what's actually going on with the internet right now.

I think Exoscale resells DNSimple... Does anyone know if DNSimple somehow uses Cloudflare as well or if it was hit by whatever hit Cloudflare?  @Gargron

@Gargron wow, music may be a universal language, but the language of musicians is kind of unreachable for me @Gargron I did not expect to watch the entirety of a 33-minute video about The Girl From Ipanema today. Sincere thanks for the extreme left field content. Sometimes I think what could I have done differently to make better use of the opportunities given by Mastodon being in the spotlight in the past. Like I imagine if Mastodon as it is in 3.2.0 was available during April 2017, a lot more people who checked it out would have stayed permanently, probably. It’s kind of frustrating to think about, really.

  @Gargron nah it’s not the software that keeps me here. It’s the people. The conversations I have here are more constructive and it’s easier to avoid toxic users than any other social network. @Gargron I think it is natural to think about it, but it is not natural to get obsessed with it. I have no idea about the early versions, current situation or who you are, but you have probably learned a lot, even if you are not aware, which will effect your future decisions. (Hope you are a good person with good intentions, *I am being lazy by just assuming based on the code of conduct, which gives me hope, no animal cruelty or any kind of cruelty can be added though) (Sorry for the grammar) |
