@taymaz @rolle There is some of "Not Invented Here" syndrome, but Bluesky is also a fundamentally different way to build a social media where *all* content is searchable and indexable. For this reason, Bluesky can do big-data-firehose that everything is public. With ActivityPub at the protocol level, it assumes the 1-to-1 connections, this creates a cultural clash where some think it's not okay to index content and make it searchable.

@ec670 @jeffcliff @eisfunke @rodhilton I don't know which one you are replying, but I've talked about Bluesky lately. It seems to be closer to RSS and closer to "town square" because you can fetch anyone's content without filtering the server if I'm understood their plans correctly.And yes, having six accounts in Mastodon is painful, that problem is not in Bluesky.

I'm dissatisfied with timeline-based clients, like #Mastodon's and #Bluesky's. I hardly ever care to read the timeline here anymore. I see only a glimpse of the feed.I know mostly what I want to try: Inbox based clients, and some algorithmic views I control. To avoid re-reading the same content.Bluesky has one interesting client skyline.gay, it has these features:- One post from each person you follow- Mutuals feedhttps://github.com/louislva/skylineI would build similar to my own client as well.

@rolle For me, the key is not to see the items I've already read. I find myself getting frustrated if I return to the client and see the same content.If I could hide from the timeline the items I've already read it would act a lot like an inbox.It's doable on Mastodon as well, but I don't care too much about Bluesky vs Mastodon thing, other than technical parts. I'd probably make a Bluesky account as well when it opens, even if I wouldn't post there. Just to follow people who went there.

@davidbisset I had to look, the whole plugin is just this:.wp-block:hover:not(:has(:focus),:focus) {outline: 1px dashed #1e1e1e;box-shadow: 0 0 2px #e1e1e1}Throw it in editor-style.css and you are golden.

#WordPress 6.2.1 broke shortcodes in Gutenberg themes seemingly randomly. Edit, looks like it affects only templates, someone had made a ticket: https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/58341

Love this comment: "it’s absolutely insane to me that shortcodes have been removed by design!! Every single one of our agency’s FSE sites uses the shortcode block in templates for everything: filters, search, ACF & plugin integrations. This is chaos!!"https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-v6-2-1-breaks-the-shortcode-block-in-templates/It sometimes feels like children are working on the #WordPress codebase. They are supposedly fixing security issues, I can't find which one (?), and removing shortcodes is the solution (??).

I kinda feel bad, I've been hitting refresh for a few hours on a few topics covering the issue. Hoping the shit hits the fan (with enough people complaining) for #WordPress team so I don't have to change my themes and they do the only sensible choice: enable shortcodes somehow.

I really don't understand what #Twitter is doing. How is setting 600 posts/day rate-limit a good idea? In Twitter, the algorithm suggests all sorts of crap even when your feed is empty, that 600 would come full pretty quickly.What makes things worse is that it punishes their "power" or most "addicted" users first and foremost. Why would you incentives those to look at other options?

@leo Yes. My thoughts exactly, there is a lot of brands and people I'd follow to get their, but not necessarily interact with. They've all gone to Threads.I do see this as positive not only in that way, but also it broadens what Fediverse is.I can imagine this lessening the heath from zealots, and makers like @ivory and others can create features without fear, like quote toots, search etc.Search which btw, is already implemented in Universeodon.com server. They just did it.

I must say, #Threads' way of doing tags looks a lot nicer. They are visually as links, with proper grammar, and no awkward jamming of words.Attached screenshot is thread by @viticci demonstrating tags(Side note, I won't be posting to there, as I have no follower herd that I need to feed, I understand that many in the know will be)

@dave @davew I've been think a lot about #RSS lately. I'm starting to believe that if #Threads does not enable RSS for all public accounts, they don't believe in federated social media or open web either.There is no reason why you can open up any Threads account in the browser, but not in the RSS reader, they are trying to limit the content and keep it under their control.

@simon @theverge Cool, I'm more waiting for this, what Nilay Patel just said in Threads:" The Verge’s Nilay Patel, who has said he’ll make the short posts on the site’s homepage compatible with ActivityPub."They will be integrating #ActivityPub to #TheVerge server!

The problem with YubiKey and other smart cards is that their decisions are leading the implementation. One such is that you can't clone keys even if you own it.In reality, this only hinders cloning but doesn't prevent it. Who in their sane mind thinks that YubiKey is safe if you lose it? Nobody, so why can't we allow cloning it? Why is cloning reserved only for hardware hackers?#Yubikey #smartcard

Annoying:let { foo } = "bar"let { foo } = 0let { foo } = falselet { foo } = nulllet { foo } = undefinedWith string, number and boolean it doesn't throw error, but with null and undefined it throws error. Yeah, I kind of understand as they are 'objects', but this is annoying.#javascript

I periodically check zig, as I intermintely get frustrated with Rust and what it looks like. I really don't like how Rust's generics look. Another frustration is the borrow checker, usually I find the sweet path, but it still is (after years) pain to find the right solution.Right now I look at one struct that has this:layer_surface: Option<Rc<RefCell<EguiLayerSurface<Rc<RefCell<ProjectTimingsGui>>>>>>,Well, it works, but I now know I should refactor whole app 😀 #Rust #Zig

Everytime though I've tried #Zig, the problem is their IDE/LSP integration just fails. I really want to see errors, and have auto-complete working.They don't have same mentality as Rust towards LSP.I don't know but I think Rust benefited from few enthusiasts like matklad who worked LSP/IDE tooling for #Rust. He now writes also Zig, so if he helps them it could make Zig tooling better I think.
