@[email protected] @[email protected] ah, no you hadn't. That clarifies everything - I had been assuming the traditional four faces which rotated as their split personalities transitioned.

@hp the cauldron with the pauldron is the pot you should trust not
@[email protected] @[email protected] To be fair, if your cauldron has a pauldron has something very wrong with it. Or it is a curséd knight who needs kissing.

@mavnn it's "fraction" not "function"; your point probably still stands, but maybe that will get slightly better results?
@[email protected] Oops. Still, mild embarrassment aside - using the correct title gets the same issue.
Searching for "glyph Futzing fraction" gets me an AI summary and a bunch of commentary links, but no link to the post. Searching for "glyph blog" brings up a link to the blog index page.
@Sempf big dog attitude and little dog attitude seem to be instinctual from birth, independent of whether the future big dog is big yet or not.
and weiner dogs are small dogs but have big dog attitude, they're not afraid of Odin
@[email protected] @[email protected] My grandmother used to train great danes, an other type of large dog with a generally good temperament. Nearly all small little dogs (puppies or just smaller breeds) seemed entirely happy to play with, try to threaten and/or, for the adult dogs, romantically engage with the danes despite it being obviously physically impossible for them to impact the danes at all (many of the smaller dogs were shorter than the danes' knees). That did rather immediately change on the one occasion I saw a dane get actually angry with a smaller dog, but even then the caution only lasted as long as the growling did.

We have some bite sized introduction to #ink posts for writing #interactivefiction / #visualnovels up on YouTube and I’m hoping to do a few more next week. I’ll definitely be doing a follow on about conditions (the different comparison operators and “switch” statements) and I’ll probably also do a video version of this blog post.
If you’ve got requests or ideas for other focused mini-videos let me know commenting here or over at the IntFiction forums (intfiction.org/t/ink-introdu...)
@[email protected] Thanks. One of the things I hate about the combination of #chronicfatigue brain fog and #adhd impulsivity is that I know there's a huge danger of my brain just randomly starting sealioning and mansplaining across the people I follow as my brain just starts spewing random responses to stimuli. At least on this occasion I noticed...
@[email protected] I happened to be looking at the hashtag code in Mastodon and I think it normalises the hashtags to all lower case for comparison/following. So it should, hopefully, work with any of them.
@[email protected] Also, I just read your post and that wasn't what you were asking at all. Sorry, replying to posts with a sleep dep headache is never a wise move.

Me: searches for @[email protected] 's Futzing Function blog post by name
Google: here's an AI summary of the post and links to three other sites discussing it
Me: really? Google decided not to index Glyph's blog? Are they summarising based on the discussions about the post or something? goes and checks
Google: nope! We indexed it, you can search for the blog itself, we just decided that if you search for a specific post we'll put in the AI summary and remove the link to the actual article from the results

'cuz this is some cyberpunk bullshit.
@[email protected] I'm guessing either cheap outsourced humans or pipe the audio in short sections to a pirated copy of Dragon Naturally Speaking from 1998 to feed into a swear word regex. I mean - it doesn't actually need to be accurate, just trigger often enough people get scared and (most importantly) management think it's working. The very idea is pretty gruesome though.
@evieissleepy All those hashtags you mentioned? Highly recommend following them too. Any posts from servers your server knows about that include those tags will show up on your feed. It's really handy.
tags.pub/ is a useful service as well.
@[email protected] @[email protected] you can follow tags from across multiple servers by following @ [hashtag you want to follow] @ tags.pub (without the spaces). The service was set up by @[email protected] who helped write the specifications that underpin the Fediverse, so it is trustworthy. If you follow @[email protected], it will broadcast your own hashtagged posts.
@[email protected] Hi! Would you be the right person to ask if tags.pub is currently having issues? It doesn't seem to be boosting any of my posts at the moment, but I updated my own server so I'm not entirely sure which side the issue is on. I'm suspicious though, as I haven't seen anything from any of the tags I follow for a while either.
proud of these little dorks
they're SVG now, so, here's a zoomed-in version too

Using #krita practice to avoid vitamin D deficiency part 2.
Turns out that when you're suffering from #chronicfatigue and don't have the energy to walk anywhere, it's really easy to get vitamin D deficiency because of the lack of sunlight. Last year I ended up needing to inject myself with extra vitamin D to get back to workable levels, this year I'm trying to be deliberate not repeating that experience.
Public service announcement over, tl;dr get some sunlight, don't give yourself skin cancer either
Rapid fire character with multiple emotes practice. #krita is looking a great tool for this kind of work, although its huge power and flexibility might make it hard to introduce to some of our younger #visualnovel authors.
@mavnn @Bonfire although i've never got around to learning Ruby i've always liked it, and the community.
but this kind of thing just makes me love Zig even more. the ability to reliably look up stuff in completely unknown codebase (especially with `zig fmt`, you can basically just `grep "fn some_function\\b"`) is a well guarded feature in zig
@[email protected] @[email protected] Yeap, zig had been on my short list to learn for a while now and that is one of the main reasons (along with comp time and solid cross compilation).

@[email protected] oh, nice package. I hadn't spotted that existed.
There is something about Ruby that makes me completely incapable of finding anything in a Ruby on Rails code base. Firstly, everything is arranged with according to conventions I don't know. Not my preference, but that I could learn or look up. But then there's also vast amount of stuff that just appears out of nowhere.
For instance, currently I suspect there's a mismatch between the url sent by @[email protected] in a Mention tag on an activitypub activity, and the result of calling short``account``url on a Mastodon account model for a remote account. But... there is no function called short``account``url in the Mastodon code base, it doesn't seem to be one of the standard Rails Router helper methods, it just... gets called in a bunch of places and ✨️magic✨️ occurs.
@[email protected] Erm. Looks like I've also found a weird bug in the markdown to HTML translation in social 1.0.2, by the way. The double backticks above in the function names were typed as underscores.
