  Futzing around with search on mastodon and my take away is, OMG, there is so much 2023 content.

  leetcode is a pissing contest so you first have to hype yourself to to caring how far you can piss. Seems like you could win standing on the edge of the grand canyon on a windless day? Do the rules require not getting arrested? Empire state building?

  leetcode: Okay, how would you solve this complicated problem with a large problem space but it is really easy to check if a solution is valid. me: monte carlo! leetcode: no....no... this is a pissing contest to save electrons. me: I have never worked on a code base that needed to save electrons (this way). Google, who does need to count each electron will never hire me.

  Do you want to know what Mastodon users are doing to the Funko Pop prices before even Mastodon knows? Subscribe to all the feeds. The API is free, that's zero Euros if you're in Europe![*] This previously insider-only info is insider-only because they can't convince anyone else to read their feed and then trade on the info. [*] Zero pounds in England.

  Github has 2 main feeds. The sometimes hard to find "home feed" which is 90% noise and the notifications feed, which is 50% live conversations. Traffic is spiky (months with nothing, then boom, a lot of conversations) So I guess there is need for an alternate view. If you could mix it with your mastodon home feed, then you'd look at it every day. No one wants to look at githubs 2 feeds every day if 3/4 of the time they're empty.

  This is going to be so weird with the most ardent pro AI and anti AI accounts in the same feed. Just like the good ole days on twitter when occasionally you'd run into someone you disagree with. And to think we thought it was an echo chamber.

  This is an impersonator account, as one gets taken down, it just increments the number after the name and keeps trying. The other one got reported yesterday. See, it "clones" an account by retweeting the target accounts data and waits for a follow so it can do DM and start a pig butchering session. https://mastodon.social/@Cydharrell78

  Mastodon has a textboard embedded in it. A feed of all the new accounts first 20 posts of each user. These accounts - no established identity (esp if none even asserted) - nothing to lose if they break the rules - no reputation to besmirch - no one has muted or blocked them - too soon for moderators to squash them if they are bad actors

  Youtube: Are you blocked from your favorite websites, like mastodon.social? Buy consumer VPN! Real world: Office blocks your favorite website and VPN. Anyhow, restrain yourself, follow the ToS and do not click on this mastodon client with a bunch of features for using mastodon on a hostile network https://matthewdeanmartin.github.io/mawkingbird/

  Features that probably don't appeal to Product Owners. Product owners and PMs got their job by murdering the 12 people between intern and PM rank. They got a certain personality. - Mute amnesty. Unmutes everyone that was transiently annoying. Sort of already supported with timed mutes if you always pick a duration. - Convert block to mute. (yeah, but with 1 button click) - "Block semi-amnesty", let all the once time bad behavior people read your posts again, I mean th...

  Another thing, no platform is going to solve the "I want to publish to any platform that has my peeps" independent clients/apps will have to solve that

  Hmm, is nostr a viable network? Good: https://nostr.com is beautiful good anonymous user features Bad: OMG, 10 seconds for 2 posts to show up on a profile page. Is anyone home? network feed for last 2 hours looks the same

  The smoke has arrived in DC. Canada gets revenge for the US violating its treaties and trade agreements. Irritates the eyes to just walk in it for 10 minutes.

  How long does it take for a github pages HTTPS cert to show up as trusted? Long time apparently. Some more work towards reviving the look and feel of 2018 Twitter, "the good twitter" before Twitter itself messed up what wasn't broken. https://mawkingbird.com/

  IDEA: mastodon client that implements all the pre-musk Twitter Blue features. - reader mode - You should get a blue check that only you can see because only you know that you really are you. - Book mark folders/library (machine grouping) - Delete & Repost (variation on editing) - Auto split long posts - (optional) prompt "do you really want to post that" and 30 second delay before it really is posted so you can cancel it. - Theming

  Ever wonder how much money is flowing into mastodon from donation? Rough estimate via patreon data. That's like enough money for 3 or 4 FTEs. https://graphtreon.com/top-patreon-creators/mastodon

  Finally, I have fix it. I got mastodon looking even more like 2018 twitter and I got Twitter blue features, like reader mode, themes and such. Next? DUAL bsky-mastodon client. One stream!
