@yogthos classic. get the masses riled up about TikTok as a smoke screen to pass draconian shit

exactly what they did to pass the Patriot Act way back when, too

@technomancy @codeberg Does your list of projects ever end? I'd known you as Cool Mastodon Dude for weeks before learning you ran Fennel, then several more months before I learned you were behind the Atreus keyboard, and I've now been following you for over a year, possibly years plural, before learning you did Leiningen

This is like the Russian Stacking Doll of code productivity and smash hit projects

@neauoire lol the boat I learned on had a few wires just electrical taped together. the horrors...

one of my tasks in June when my boat's out of the water is to audit the fuse/switch board and find out where all the wires *actually* go and relabel as appropriate. I shudder to imagine what horrors I'll find...

@dualhammers dihydrogen monoxide poisoning is also very real, so watch out for that shit too

@dualhammers @milofultz @megabyteGhost I tend to struggle with a similar thing to what you alluded above: weighing the impacts of simply a meat-much-lighter diet (which I currently follow) vs a fully veg diet (which I've dabbled with), and how to fill the dietary holes some veggie diets create without hugely net-negative climate impacts.

I have this cognitive dissonance the worst when, say, I go to a restaurant and order an Impossible or Beyond Burger. better on one axis, tradeoff on another

@technomancy I likely would have kept your advice in the back of my head as I trudged on hoping for the best and ultimately realizing the same outcome, only to toot at you "you told me so" lol. but yes, I do to an extent learn best by falling on my face...

I highly respect your insights fwiw: you actually came up in convo with a friend the other day from your work on Atreus and Fennel and your recommendations around, eg, ditching modules/etc., as all being awesome :)

after going down the path of writing a whitespace-significant parser for gluumy I'm slowly becoming convinced I need to find a whitespace-less-sigfinicant syntax for this language. it's a god damn nightmare to parse such a thing - lots of state to carry around (eg: okay, so I return if the indentation level ever goes below X, but not when the indentation level immediately returns to wherever it was, in case they skipped a line and have truncate-trailing-whitespace turned on...)

@neauoire this was also true for me on Twitter - I had to go through and soft block several hundred followers last year in part for privacy, and in part to chill noise from folks I didn't care to hear from (blocking deletes the following+follower relations, unblocking allows them to still see you in retweets/replies/etc. I believe Mastodon also implemented all of these rules)
