If it ain't fun, you're not doing it right.

I get notifications on my @apps app that's installed on my phone whenever someone replies to (or likes, or boosts) one of my posts...

Not sure which Firefox plugin you use, but this works for me

@evan
Not as religiously (in multiple senses of that word) as some of the people around me, but yes

@hazelweakly
Amen.

The second is a special case of the first though?

Glühwein is awesome!

You can drop the 'personally' part in that last sentence. Not only were you not alone in that, I have yet to find a person who *is* able to tell them apart without looking up the details, myself included.

currently limits posts to 4 media attachments, 4 poll options, and disallows polls with media to match Mastodon's UI. However, these restrictions don't exist in ActivityPub itself. We'll be removing these artificial limits soon. Other servers (Pleroma, Akkoma, Misskey) already support more media, more poll options, and polls with attachments. There's no technical reason to restrict what the protocol explicitly allows.

Took me a while to recognise it as a rabbit. I thought it was a very weird dog, at first 😂

@opticron
😲😶 Okay some things are just stupid.

@bagder
So many words when you could have just said '0' 😂

But yeah, cool.

@bagder
OOI, how many command line options to curl have ever been removed? If you keep that statistic, of course.

@bkuhn
Also, you can totally still leave a note saying that you had parked your car at the EV charger in the way needed for your car and that triggered the geofencing... If it happens enough and they keep having to come out to unlock it, I'm sure they'll catch on eventually!

"Play the sound"? I don't get that part.

In Belgium, usually you get to do the coin thing too.

In South Africa, incredibly, they have dedicated cart attendants who will help you push the cart to your car and take it back from you afterwards. Most shops don't even *have* dedicated drop off points...!

@sten
COBOL has significant whitespace too, and me being forced to learn it in college is what made me not even be interested in Python to begin with.

@bkuhn
Oh.

I would use conditional markup and linked files for that.

In one of the two spreadsheets, link to the other one as a data source.

Then, create conditional markup so that if the contents of the current cell is different from the cell in that data source, colour the cell red.

This is me saying that without actually testing it, so might not be possible.

@bkuhn
The open document format is really a zip file of XML files. You can unzip and diff that?

Maybe diffoscope (from @reproducible_builds) is able to do a diff, too?

@fraggle
No contest. Like I said, they brought it on themselves and indeed have nobody else to blame.

@solonovamax
At least IMO. Other than that, stalebots are a menace.

@solonovamax
One exception: a bot which sends a 'hey, no recent updates here, is this still an issue, if no reply is received we'll auto close in two weeks', and then respects that timeline and promise.

Because keeping stale issues open helps nobody.
