@liw it's what I use! Being able to select parts of diff hunks and stage them is really nice.

@federicomena I've recently found that Magit for Emacs makes this easier (compared to git one command line).

TFW you changed 20 files, finally the tests pass, and now you must decide how to make small commits to make sense of this mess.

this whole line of reasoning explains why recent advances in creative computation with AI/ML are always framed as tools to augment or replace artists: it's an attempt to (further) reframe art as a kind of knowledge work which (like a bookkeeper or a secretary) can ultimately be replaced with automation.

oh wait I gave a whole talk about this didn't I http://opentranscripts.org/transcript/programming-forgetting-new-hacker-ethic/

When I recommend an instance to people who want to take a look around the fediverse, the very first criterion is that there must be a list of blocked/silenced instances or lack thereof. If an instance does not maintain such a list, I'm not going to recommend it to people.

As measured by https://instances.social/list/old , Mastodon just reached (pinkie to mouth gesture) one million users.

And 52% of them are on the three big Japanese instances (pawoo.net, mstdn.jp, friends.nico). That percentage is down from a peak near 54% earlier, but if you throw in all the other Japanese instances (which are most instances, overall), that side of the network remains a large majority of Mastodon and likely a bare majority of the entire "fediverse." https://mstdn.io/media/ROqRZTsUmbaVq5QHXPk

I've created a list of #openspeech #Mastodon #instances!

The goal: to maintain a list of instances which users who want to talk to almost everyone in the fediverse can join!

Listed instances federate widely with others, _and_ many of the safer-speech instances also federate with them.

kys already

i'll be back tomorrow with more UNSAFE SHITTY CONTENT

@strypey What author and work are you citing? I'll give it a read, maybe.

@strypey I mean, true, in that no govt can make 100% of its constituents act lawfully/legally 100% of the time.

@strypey I would say the people have thoroughly complied by voting yes for govt regulation of alcohol, tobacco, and cannabis.

@strypey humans can't achieve perfection nor should they aim for it. Policing is all about the threat. If a class of rule breaker or criminal finds the threats of GovCo toothless, that class of rulebreaker or criminal will proliferate with new actors

#SummerThingToDo:

I plan on writing an #ActivityPub implementation.

* In Common Lisp, because I want to get better at CL.
* Client-facing server is top priority.
* Federating server is second priority.
* Client is least priority.
* Client-facing server will use ROCA style.
* Each part will implement checklist on AP Github.
* All components will be as loosely coupled as possible.
