Damn I love tiny little spiders. I found one running around my bathroom and it's unreal just how little it's feet are.
Talking a quarter the size of my finger nail. So cute I can't even.
@decentral1se kinda like hyperbeedeebee but with prolly trees and go :P https://github.com/RangerMauve/ipld-prolly-indexer/tree/initial
@orsinium Nice, thanks for the info. I'll add it to my TODO list. Thankfully in this case I just forgot to close a channel in a very stupid way. :P
A programmer is just a machine that turns #Golang code into deadlocks. :P
@thisismissem @renchap it's similar to how desktop gui apps can have separate "main threads" with all their logic and renderer threads that talk to the main thread to get data in and out.
More #JavaScript folks should consider using the SharedWorker API in their app. Especially if you have particularly heavy initializing code.
E.g. instead of Element loading everything from scratch each time you open it in a tab, it could have the bulk of the resources shared across tabs in a worker and have speedier inits that don't block the render thread.

When I started on Mastodon, people would advise me to “only Boost posts.” Since there’s no algorithm that places a value on Favorites, “only Boosts have value.”
I disagree completely.
When people Favorite my posts, they unwittingly introduce themselves to me. I have discovered some very interesting people that I may not have if they didn’t Favorite my posts.
Keep ‘em coming. It’s nice to meet you.

Does anybody on here know of an instance dedicated to Black queer folks? I'm not necessarily planning on moving but I am curious since apart from blacktwitter.io and wibblur I haven't even seen much that's even focused on Black communities. And if there isn't one/aren't many... Is that something people would be interested in? 👀 Edit: well, I went ahead and spent most of the past day making one. https://blackqueer.life is the name. Check it out!
@AndreShouldBeWriting @cblgh Yeah the qntm books might be up your alley then.
@cblgh @AndreShouldBeWriting OMG yes strong +1 for the "There is No Anti-Memetics Division". It's very much written like a bunch of short stories that tie into a larger one. Also Ra by qntm is v good. Also also Fine Structure was my first read by that author and I loved it. https://qntm.gumroad.com/l/ELFop
Also +1 to the Hainish Cycle stuff!
@AndreShouldBeWriting Have you read much of the SCP Wiki? I found that following some of the hubs for the "groups of interest" and following links from different stories to different SCPs has been fun. There's vague allusions to other groups doings and to the SCP entries themselves.

any word on if Facebook-Twitter is gonna bring back the 'poke' feature? it's pretty clear that social media went off the rails the moment we quietly lost that.

some have already clocked where i was going with this -- how can an open society be closed to something?
Karl Popper's Paradox of Tolerance applies perfectly here. being open to systems that oppose openness is a threat to openness itself.
the idea that being open means we must allow everything, indiscriminately, without analysis or reflection, is immature and politically ignorant. it only serves entrenched powers, which is maybe why its such a popular and widely parroted position.

in conversations ive had around "open" source and "open" protocols im recognizing a recurring sentiment that does not sit well with me: the idea that "openness" requires that we tolerate capitalist corporations, that if we don't we are no longer "open".
i disagree categorically with this definition of "open"

New feature: Private Browsing tabs are now available!
They also get a purple outline in the carousel view to recognize them.
Next step: containers, to help you manage all your social accounts :)

Firefox "awesome" (address) bar tips:
Use ^ anywhere in a query to search through your history
Use % to search your open tabs.
Use ? to search the web.
Use * to search your bookmarks.
By default awesome bar blends it all together, but sometimes you know where you are looking for something, so it can yield better results !
Others magic characters: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/address-bar-autocomplete-firefox#w_changing-results-on-the-fly
