i'm the only person i know who can tell you exactly when they became a furry, to the minute

this way i can host my own code, obviating some of the problems of a corporate-owned centralized repo server like github

but also others can open issues etc. without having to make an account on my server, obviating potential problems with current self-hosted solutions like gitlab

idea: remote repo software with issue tracking, à la git{hub|lab}, but connected to the fediverse via activitypub

you could broadcast events such as changes to a repo, or you could perhaps enable accounts on other instances (even e.g. mastodon instances and other parts of the fediverse) to do things like open issues and leave comments

you could also use it to coordinate things like forks and merge requests across different repo servers

japan has the shape of its own country as an emoji: 🗾

it has been an emoji since before they became part of unicode (this makes sense; emoji are japanese in origin). it and some other quintessentially japanese esoterica 🏯👹🍙🍥🗻⛑️🔰 are now a part of unicode forever

food for thought the next time you contemplate backwards compatibility in the design of standards

how to check if an instance is a gab instance for the current version of their in-dev fork (no domain name checks required) 

1. request /api/v1/instance. if contact_account has the keys "is_pro" and/or "is_verified", then it is running gab social or a variation.

that isn't super reliable, as they may change the keys or a contact_account may not exist, which leads me onto my second check:

2. check the response to "/users/[username].json", where any valid username on that instance goes in [username]. if a json-ld namespace named "gab" exists, then it is running gab social or a variation

Happy Summer Solstice, all! Today is a beautiful local maximum with zero first derivative and thus has the most daylight, so go make good use of it!

gab meta, app dev 

i feel like people are forgetting the whole point of gab doing this is so that they can use your app to put themselves back in the mainstream, it isn't just a coincidental problem

not blocking them is respecting their wishes to abuse your code to promote nazism.

i have a chip on my shoulder, so let me get it off my chest: i HATE when idioms force me to reference anatomy inconsistently

anyone know any good online courses to take while i'm not doing anything else?
