@DAlboraTom Happy Christmas Leftovers Day!

Merry Christmas!

@hotdogsladies @dobyfriday @AlexCox Really excellent After Show. "Anticipating bumps" describes a mode I regularly find myself stuck in, and so often it feels like, when I finally break out of it (after an hour of mindless activity), and I'm on the ramp to actually doing The Thing, *then* I'll hit the bump. 😔

@matthealey81 @cmdrtaco +1 Informative

@cmdrtaco hachyderm dot io is full of geeky people all talking about fun stuff. The admin also gives live updates on the deployment of the services. You might get a kick out of it.

Ok what m*stadon should I join?

@jsonbecker Hey, there were definitely a handful of people who bought pizza with Bitcoin in the very early days! 🫠

@AlisonAgosti @hotdogsladies Perfection.

If my dogs had an indie rock band, this would be their album cover

@DAlboraTom Are these "Promoted" or "Trending" tweets? I avoid those by using a third-party client, but third-party apps also don't have access to some functionality (e.g. polls), so that's the trade-off. Of course who knows what this place will look like in a month, given its new owner. 🤷‍♂️

I find myself blocking 6-10 Twitter accounts every day. I have no idea how this crap shows up on my feed, but I just can't stand bat-shit crazy. Anyone else getting bombarded with bullshit?

@hotdogsladies Winnie says, "Hi."

@atpfm Different design decisions were made for reasons, but I didn't hear much consideration given to what those reasons were. You mostly complained about how the ride isn't exactly the same as the one at your home park, which unfortunately for you, is presently burning down. (2/2)

@atpfm Gotta say, your Mastodon segment felt a bit like you were trying to review a rollercoaster at a new-to-you amusement park by standing next to it and commenting on how it is constructed. (1/2)

509: Tiny Tyrants atp.fm/509 Mastodon, Twitter's latest BS, iPhone Emergency SOS via satellite, and dim hopes for concert tickets.

Once you understand that things like this are not abnormal in software development the world becomes fucking terrifying.

Since 2019 I’ve been in an expensive, stressful legal battle to protect Webcomic Name (my “oh no” comics). It’s a relief to finally talk about this publicly! I’m launching a crowdfunder to pay my remaining legal fees to end this. 1/8 gofund.me/7478032b

With Twitter's change in ownership last week, I'm probably in the clear to talk about the most unethical thing I was asked to build while working at Twitter. 🧵

@Mail_Gun The ability to rotate DKIM keys would be really helpful.

@postmodern_mod3 @github Hmm...would probably want it to be opt-in, so that it did not suddenly fracture communication with OSS maintainers about their projects...

If @github hosted their own Mastodon instance, that would be a game changer for Open Source projects and communities (that are not big enough to have their own server).

@airthings Would mounting the Wave on a drop ceiling (about 7 ft up) have a negative impact on accuracy?

@jsonbecker I've had similar struggles. It's tough to balance giving yourself time to heal physically with not allowing yourself to fall into a dark hole mentally. I have found it helpful to look for tiny tasks as a way to get a little satisfaction from a relatively small amount of effort.

@TheMoreYouCow 👀

@postmodern_mod3 Could RegExp#== have been overridden in your project?

* the spec fails locally as well as on GitHub Actions. Although, I cannot create a standalone repro script. No clue what the difference is between them?

Why would an rspec eq() test be failing to compare two seemingly identical Regexps under TruffleRuby (22.2.0). Regexp 1 is the result of String building and Regexp.new. Regexp 2 is a literal Regexp. Neither regexp has any special flags. Can reproduce locally.
