  • In reply to @davidbisset. I know here the response will be "Mastodon and the Fediverse will never collapse though" and my response would be "They might not be technically unkillable, but like there a few internet things that still exist that barely are mentioned outside of a circle of nerds… and sometimes the community is…

    Interesting. Markwhen is #Markdown for Timelines https://markwhen.com/ I don't use markdown much, but for something like this i wouldn't mind something similar for quick things. There's also an editor… and a #VSCode extension. #charts #opensource

  • This article about DELETE in databases is about #Postgres but it generalizes. If you are in CS or into #webdev working with a database in general, it's worth a read. DELETE is not as easy as people think. https://notso.boringsql.com/posts/deletes-are-difficult/ #databases

    Some #developers: "No need to write #documentation. It's obvious to customers how to use it." 🤔 #memes

  • In a way, nice to see #Mastodon and #Bluesky and other resources acting a "comment" system on personal blogs. Bad to see that BECAUSE one is relying on social the solutions are FRAGMENTED. If the CMS or blog tool had it's own comment system – not an issue.

  • I like the simple technical and business concept of this micro #SaaS. https://www.myphotos.site/ "Allows anyone to create a slick, minimal gallery website from #Google Photos." Yes, there's a million different ways devs and #tech people could do this but sometimes the quick way is the good enough way.

  • My one daughter was upset I was paying attention to the other daughter and without thinking i said "Blame the algorithm" and I think she's muted me IRL at the moment.

  • OH: "In order for #Mastodon or the #Fediverse to ("air quotes")"win"(/air-quotes) at social, #BlueSky (or even #Threads) doesn't have to lose".

  • In reply to @davidbisset. Before i get anything about the "ugly"…. well I thought I had a comeback, but I don't. I'm sure some find it wonderful to look at. Cool beans.

    I'll be honest. i'm probably not the greatest husband when it comes to understanding my wife. I would lie if sometimes as a #programmer i didn't read her like this. #memes

Someone built a 🖲️ Marble Madness 🖲️ #WebGL game we for #Netlify. https://5-million-devs.netlify.com More info: 👉🏻 https://www.littleworkshop.fr/projects/5milliondevs/ "The website is fully optimized for both desktop and mobile browsers, with user controls and UI components tailored for each device." It's fun! Try it out!

I wonder if we'll see the concept and execution come to other networks like M, and if BS didn't have them how long would…

  • "#Bluesky and #ATProto are not meaningfully decentralized, and are not federated either. However, this is not to say that Bluesky is not achieving something useful; while Bluesky is not building what is presently a decentralized Twitter… …it is building an excellent replacement for Twitter, and Bluesky's main deliverable goal is something else instead: a Twitter…

    This other social network has made #Mastodon is such a enigma. And not talking about Twitter. "Hoping Mastodon will get it's great migration too.""Hoping Mastodon stays small / underdog." …shouted simultaneously out of the same mouths. Proud to make my home here but it's odd.. maybe some of this noise is performative? Reminds me of…

  • Why I 🧡 the web. #Foursquare #opensource its places database. @simon gives a little preview if you're a #developer: https://simonwillison.net/2024/Nov/20/foursquare-open-source-places/ Actual announcement here: https://location.foursquare.com/resources/blog/products/foursquare-open-source-places-a-new-foundational-dataset-for-the-geospatial-community/ Could lead to maybe some fun #webdev ideas.

    Maybe #Bluesky isn't so great after all. I told it to make me a "Starter Pack". It apparently took one look at my profile, jokes, what i looked like… and it came up with this. #memes
