I hope this email finds you unprepared for your physical, try to have it delayed.

@flockofnazguls Agreed. The sound and the feel.

@ai6yr Gusts equivalent to a Category 5 hurricane! 😱

reddit got bad because spez (the reddit admin) restricted API access to the platform for third-party apps, such that people would be forced to use the official app or web UI, both of which display advertisement and collect user data (e.g. scroll behavior).

the reason why this happened is because reddit is a for-profit company and tries to extract money out of the userbase, at the expense of the users.

another example of a bad decision that reddit made was to push a lot of ragebait (“Am I The Asshole?”) because company shareholders want to see “engagement numbers” go up, and if somebody writes an angry reply to a post, that’s “engagement”. but it makes you angry at the stupidity of the “Asshole”, so it makes your day worse. that is another example how reddit makes money at the expense of the users.

size (number of monthly active users) is not what made reddit bad. commercialization is.

we should probably get rid of the “don’t make lemmy grow, it will ruin the platform if we grow” idea.

@dthompson @gisgeek Yeah, that makes sense. Some of those features do seem like they'd be useful to other Haunt users. Either way, I've added it to https://awesome.haunt.page/

@spla A mi també m'ho ha semblat que tot era obert!

Ho desconec, però segurament faltarien sobretot a la feina, imagino: funcionaris administratius.

Paradoxalment molts de ells amb prou sou, triennis, i quantitat de feina que fa que no tinguin els problemes d'habitatge, sobrecàrrega de treball, mancances mitjans, etc motiu pel que la gent es manifestava en una vaga general.

I never got ejected and afaict I was never banned from any communities - I left voluntarily during the Rexodus, back in the before-times, prior to most AI moderation and posting.

When someone (Huffman) tells you who they are, it’s best to believe them the first time.

Other datastructures define a callback type, as well as a struct turning it into a closure & adding some bitflags indicating enabled features. Macros define these different bitflags.
A 3rd macro references this "config" alongside bytes for the current state & substate, header level, list number, & various flags. Furthermore it stores a max-4-char lookahead buffer, & a current slice of text.
An internal enum defines these states.

A helper assembles a taken & passes it to the callback.

Whilst I'm neurodiverse and don't mind using the telephone (I'm a VOIP engineer and build whole PBXs, and connect vintage phones to them), there are plenty of situations I'd rather have email as its a formal written record of what was agreed without having to use audio recording techniques (which often only the big company has access to).

I suspect this is exactly why a lot of organisations push people towards using phone calls (they can more easily deny such things as agreed actions or timescales),

I made them bigger. Like almost 2 times the size. The Floofer has 20cm. The base-body of Akkoma is also about that. Though the hat makes it bigger obvs.

Though I just took the paper-pattern hat for now as a stand-in. I still might have to make 3D-Hat for it. Will look great.

I am quite happy how the floofer turned out. Though tbh some corners were cut. It has no arm since that is kinda annoying to sew in and I wanted something easy for now. Though maybe I will give that a shot later?

The stitched on floofer face certainly should use some interfacing otherwise the applique stitch tends to warp the shape of the piece. Also I need to take more care with the applique stitch. Though making such tight turns is certainly hard.

The Hat for akkoma should be easy enough. I do have some patterns for such hats. So it should be a matter of measuring and make something nice.
