I'm not convinced that the custom style for floss.social is a good idea. It should be opt-outable (or opt-in in the first place) in the settings. Forced like this is not nice.

It doesn’t play well with dark mode and my custom UserStyles that I have to improve my Mastodon experience.

😒

@admin the new design doesn't work at all for me. I have "Mastodon dark, high contrast" chosen in my settings.

1. It's not dark.

2. (In the multi-column view) Buttons are missing [Edit: buttons seem fixed]

This needs more tweaks, I think

Just deleted an e-mail address I used for about 20 years — well, not really anymore for like 10, but a spam mail the other day reminded me, it’s finally time to get rid of it. It’s purely technical, but I still don’t like good-byes 👋

I see a lot of advantages compared to traditional CSV.

– 👏 is more international

– When reading data out load, the 👏 is basically out-of-band.

– Reading/presenting data is boring, saying "comma" or "semicolon" doesn’t really catch the audience while a 👏 will do that.

– It’s been a proven method on social media and in pre-school.

For folks that are temporarily or permanently unable to 👏, TSV, tongue-click-separated data, or T👅S👅V👅, will be an officially approved alternative.

but if… no, when we standardize it, I’ll advocate to make the trailing 👏 mandatory.

C👏S👏V👏 just rolls better of the tongue

I really see a April 1 RFC in my future.

Honestly, this was just a dumb reply, but thinking of it more than 2s, I’m a bit proud.

I present you: clap-separated values:

I really wonder where y’all take the optimism from that the remaining users on those platforms would still care — one way or the other.

[#]Hurl, maybe my favourite #Postman replacement, just released a new major version. Nothing too big from my POV, but the --curl "native export" looks useful. So you can communicate your requests to folks who use curl, or use it as input to other tools’ importers, which usually "speak" curl.

(Before you had to fish the #curl equivalent out of the verbose output. PS: I wish --very-verbose was just -vv or --vv; to whom it may concern :)

I wish more websites and webapps used <meta name="generator" content="YourCoolFrameworkHere 0.114.2"> in their HTML head. I’m curious.

Can someone help me form an opinion on the #DOJ wanting to force #Google to sell #Chrome. Is there a tldr on the expected consequences of this? :boost_love:

How “truly random” is set.pop() in #Python. The docs say: »Remove […] an arbitrary element from the set.«

How arbitrary is arbitrary? I guess the elements are arranged in the set’s tree structure by their hash(), so it all depends on that hash function, right?

I want to randomly remove half of the entries of a set.

[#] This seems more correct 🧑‍🏫
s = {el for el in s if getrandbits(1)}

[#] But this is a mu faster 🥺
for _ in range(len(s) // 2):
    s.pop()

(There are lies, statistics, benchmarks — and finally benchmarks I did myself. I really gotta rewrite that README, what a bunch of nonsense… 👀)

Tinkered with my stupid little #Python toy project the other day and learned about collections.ChainMap 👀 — “new” since Python 3.3. #TIL

Uff, das ist ein Subtoot, aber er ist wirklich lieb gemeint…

Wenn Du eine eintägige Veranstaltung organisierst, die dazu [Platzhalter]-Tag heißt, und Du eine Website baust, auf der detailliert das Tagesprogramm stundenweise aufgelistet ist — dann solltest Du, eventuell, daran denken, das konkrete Datum, den Tag(!!) an dem Deine Tagesveranstaltung stattfindet, auf der Seite zu erwähnen.

Wow, das ist schon ein Kunststück der Betriebsblindheit.

(Gutes Programm, though :)
