You forgot the Slavetrade sub. Where they’d post pictures of women that appeared to be have been tortured in cages for sale.
I didn’t know about this sub but now am horrified and unsurprised.

Winter Wonderbonk Disc 2 listening party
Join us for the release and listening party of the SECOND disc of the "Four Seasons of Bonk Wave - Winter Wonderbonk" compilation.
All free, no questions asked. There's a chat, but you can ignore that and just listen if you like. All you have to do is show up. 😉
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 token & passes it to the callback.
2/?
A wrapper around that token emits one for the current slice of text if any.
Other helpers checks a feature-bitflag, counts repeated chars, skips whitespace, detects blank lines, & locates a given char in the line.
At the start of any line it skips any spaces, possible checks for triple-"`", checks if its inside a codeblock & if so echoes lines of text verbatim, possibly checks for "#" & if so counts them to carefully emit as a token, ...

@stanton thank you for hosting this nice and welcoming community 🙏 It feels like 2002 to me, but more importantly, it feels like a place where I can just be a version of myself that doesn’t have to hold a fake smile in front of my face and still be to some degree respected by other folks on the platform. I really like this feeling. There’s no way to “prove” it or to explain it, I just have it. So thank you once again

Small thing that would be nice, but is by no means not a deal breaker: to be able to include a link[rel=me], visible or not, to get that green “verified” link on Mastodon profile. So far I can link to my Mastodon profile from my Inkwell profile alright, but the green link ain’t coming
The green check should work now: put your Mastodon link in Settings → Profile on Inkwell, then on Mastodon add your Inkwell profile address (inkwell.social/yourname) as a profile field and save. Let me know if you have any issues!

size is not what made reddit bad. commercialization is.
cross-posted from: feddit.org/post/37870004
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.

@austinha It’s too soon to tell, but my impression from all the interviews I’ve seen with him is that his focus is mostly on hardware design when he talks to the “design team.” We’ll see.
@siracusa Fair. I just hear the reporting of his call to “restore” the place of design in Apple’s products as almost certainly targeted at software, because there’s not much to restore in Apple hardware design in recent memory, other than squared bottom MacBook corners.

Keyboard just does not work, neither do the (provided, at least) audio device drivers.
This is entirely a non-issue, as this is a Linux device. Whether or not Windows can be installed easily or runs well is utterly irrelevant. It's just a fun exercise for myself.
As my deep love for HP-UX demonstrates, I really love pain.
@thomholwerda that;s kind of awesome heh

fact-checkers have particularly weird demands -- they need some way to indicate each separate fact in a piece that needs checking and what its status is (i.e. does a source need contacting? have they been emailed/called? does something need discussing with the original author?)
every checker I know has some bespoke handrolled way of doing this -- there's no tool made for the purpose
