KATA: write twitter in a weekend.

I'm going to aggregate change log files. How would you do it?

Hire me to implement FALLWATER(TM), my software development process. Or take my 30 question quiz and get certified. https://x.com/mistersql/status/1589346239468163072

IDEA: we all join patreon and give each other 8 dollars a month. After netting out, we should all break even.

I just want a filter just to toggle on/off & see tweets by my mutuals. That such a feature exists, like nowhere, makes me think that all these systems are programmed by broadcasters (people who tweet but don't really care about the relationships & interaction- mutuals are friends, everyone else is merely a potential)

META*: I vow to make no more meta posts for 90 days.

* META as in, stuff talking about itself, poetry about poetry, novels about novelists, tweeting about twitter, tooting about Mastodon. I guess a VR version of 2nd life is on-topic.

I'm experimenting with Hoka shoes, the ones with a colossal amount of padding. My theory is I can run more miles (crank up the volume) if it is more comfortable, even if they aren't "fast" shoes, like the vaporflys are.

@msager holiday vacations are coming up. It is the best time of the year for a side project.

thoughts- can new ownership change the political center of the user base (or make conservaties happy)? I doubt it. Can the new ownership make twitter like myspace (suddenly everyone is gone, political and not- as often the front page is a nodejs error page)? Yes.

IDEA: social media site based on nginx config. When you are traveling to Hawaii, you update your 404 page. When you are sick, you update your 500 page. When you are being asked out on a date, you redirect them them to your 403 page.

Just look at all the El*n M*sk with a blue check mark. This is just the beginning.

Also, I just about never see ads on twitter, let alone half as many or better ones. What's the odds they put up those "turn off your ad blocker!" things?

Does this have analytics beyond follower count & comment count? Have I gone viral yet?

But if I were a scam or a bot, I could get priority ranking for $8. Scams and bots are people or orgs that are spending $$$ money on software developers & machines. This is a cheap cost of doing criminal business, not a barrier. https://x.com/CaseyNewton/status/1588967223527616512

Seriously, how do I find any accounts to follow on #cohost? I can't even find the global feed (akin to the twitter firehose)

#running - Hey all my runners out there, this is the funniest thing on youtube if you do any running

META: no email for replies/mentions here?

The #cohost box prominently asks if each tweet is "adult". Please, they are all my children, they just think they're adults.

Another simulate twitter with github experiment. Optimized for messages in commit comment & driven mostly by git CLI https://x.com/bcrypt/status/1588416861552582657

The social media moderating rules for the Lawry's Seasoned Salt site are strict. It least it isn't any anything goes hell site. https://x.com/app_user17/status/1587920809518977026

IDEA: I like this. https://x.com/zackfox/status/1587919289066979330

Should I cross post my twitter stuff to here?

Pleroma servers... should I create a gated mini social network site? Something with the entry costs of a private discord, but the look & feel of twitter. Reminds me of the days of self hosted blogs.

Baby shoes, worn once, kicked off at mile 5 of 10k race, the extra grams were slowing him down, victory was straight ahead, the crowds were roaring, the competition back in no man's land. Never retrieved.

Pick

* = Write replies to pencil comments in margin of library copy of "The Art of Computer Programming, Vol. 1"

They laughed at the guy who vendorized all the packages on all of npm. Who's laughing now? https://x.com/rakyll/status/1588627764722401280

My holiday coding project ideas:

- a running schedule generator
- companion app to use GitHub as if it were twitter (it has some perfect feature overlap, some things that could be done with some minor coding)
- just catching up on last years holiday coding project

META: seems like- only on twitter- all the videos now stutter. Anyone else notice that?

If someone says you're mumbling inaudibly in your mic & you change nothing, assume no one will ever hear you again and they are too polite/frustrated to keep saying it over and over and over.

Disney! Get started on this movie. https://x.com/mistersql/status/1588529468401889280/photo/1

Prediction: This site is going to be failwhaling in a week & will make http://mastodon.social look fast & reliable (not a complement of http://mastodon.social)

That's what I'm talking about. Let's use source control to publish books, blogs, microblogs https://x.com/Ax_Sharma/status/1587805968473145345

Tbh, if there were 3 30 second videos on every tweet, I'd pay to suppress the ads. Yes, I'm subtweeting Youtube.

You can't always make the premium version pleasant enough, but it is easy to make the free version unpleasant.

META: sorry about metacontent.

My plan is to pivot from twitter & geographically centric following (DC area techies) to Youtube centric, following people who contribute to Pypi.

The cost of following people in ecosystems outside of twitter is so much higher (you want me to read a long blog post & comment and probably be ignored? Who has time for that)

Groundkeeping? I'd like to complain about the trees, they malfunctioned and dropped almost all the leaves. It is untidy. Please put them back on the tree where they belong.
