@postmodern Uh, reading that back, there's a gotcha that will catch your monkey patch and my select. if hashb[:foo] doesn't exist, you get null, which is falsy. If hasha[:foo] contains false … oops.Should be something like ´hasha.select{|k,v| hashb[k] && hashb[k] == v}´ -- I think?

@james @postmodern Fetch will raise an exception if the key is missing. No need for this. Just explicitly check if hashb[k] is null.

@nuclear It's probably a bit much to describe me as a "musician", but I use Ardour, BespokeSynth, and a ton of FOSS plugins on Linux.

@passthejoe Gnome once again forgetting that there are thousands of GTK apps that are used outside of Gnome…

@alcinnz @passthejoe And when they do, there will still be thousands of apps that use GTK outside of Gnome.

@passthejoe Well that IS interesting. An entirely new distro with no systemd but with an up to date openbox, ardour, carla and jackd‽ I'm *very* tempted.

@passthejoe The downside is, no generic x86 build which I think means I can't try it out on my old Thinkpad? Damn.

@passthejoe yes. I honestly can't remember the last time I compiled from source for it -- the Debian repos are good -- so I'll have to experiment

@simon I'm not sure it's actually dangerous, given the chances of success. Is it illegal, though?

@jepyang @Aleums @calculsoberic That seems quite likely, doesn't it? Gaah. Wish I could afford to avoid them. But if I want an X, chances are they make the cheapest one, and I'm working on a £0 budget…

@mekkaokereke @dave @Bam @thetitanborn The one thing that worries me about the Fediverse* – how do you know if your mods are misbehaving? * There are people ON the fediverse that worry me. Different thing.

@Bam @mekkaokereke @dave @thetitanborn Well, that's not an answer to the problem. "How do I know if it's safe to cross the road here?""It's not safe to cross the road over there!"

@Bam @mekkaokereke @dave @thetitanborn Well. Yeeeees. But. Technically that's an answer in the same way that "hide in a cave" is an answer to "how can I know who to trust?"I'm sure most mods on instances that are not obviously problematic are fine. I have in the past had one (1) interaction with a mod (not here) that was problematic. I'd ideally like Mastodon to make moderation more transparent to other instance users…

@Bam @mekkaokereke @dave @thetitanborn Well, no. Not what I meant.I'd like *all* Mastodon users to have the option of seeing what their moderators are doing. I don't need to fix it for me, and fixing it just for me would solve nothing.Also: if I run my own instance, of course I know what the moderator is doing! He's me!

@stux You're not wrong. They threw me out for one toot – which I still say they completely misrepresented, and I will never know why. But: don't be like them. .art has lots of really nice users. So do you. Maybe think of them, talking to each other?

Well, I've actually been at work (remotely) for the last two days. They had a problem only I could solve.Actually, that's not true. I can't solve it. It's a foul rats nest of code designed by an idiot and when it goes wrong, you're basically screwed. But I'm the only one willing to dive into that code and swear at it.So I put the monitor on the edge of the desk and squinted with my one working eye. And now we're past the problem.Both satisfying and stressful.

@jbowen OMG thank you that was pretty much my day!Although I'm not sure I was that graceful. "There is no way to test this. We do it in live, and ask the users if it worked."

@jaj0_0 That's a lovely picture and I think we should be very impressed by the model for managing to look very pretty (a genuine modelling skill) whilst simultaneously balancing on the bike like that…
