Several password manager apps also let you store your 2FA credentials. I'm not sure I like that. It defeats the point of 2FA since everything you need to log in is stored in one place. If you want to do that, at least consider storing them in different databases locked by different keys.

My criticism of your ideas is not suppression of your right to free expression; it is my exercise of my own rights. Just as much as I cannot stop you from speaking, you cannot stop me from responding or ignoring you.

Matthew Flatt's keynote at RacketCon ended in a pretty, well... I guess troubling way to me. (Though, I knew it was coming because we discussed it last night.) There's discussion of the underlying main language moving to a non-lispy syntax. One that still supports macros and etc etc, but there's a fear that parentheses aren't as popular so we should shift (#lang racket will remain available, though).

I fear it's a big pivot, and might lose a lot. I've seen such pivots go badly before.

I am not quite a 10x engineer ... but acoording to my bathroom scale I am at least a 1.2x ... maybe even a 1.3x ....

I'm about to recommend an iPhone Mastodon app to some aging parents, but I don't have an iPhone to test things out myself.

Tootle mentions regular expressions in the screenshots. Mast costs $5. Pawoo isn't in English. Amaroq and Mustor have lower ratings.

What do you iPhone users use? Is it good for technologically challenged people?

You can view all of a person's posts filtered by hashtag by adding "/tagged/" to the end of their public profile address, then adding the hashtag.

For example, here is a link to all of switching.social's posts tagged #MastoTips:

https://mastodon.at/@switchingsocial/tagged/mastotips

This can be very useful for artists wanting to link to a portfolio, or writers wanting to link to articles about a topic.

You can also add these to your public profile page by going to Preferences > Edit Profile > Featured Hashtags

#Mastodon

JSON:API has resource linkages which can be:
not present
null
an empty vec
an object
a vec of objects

the representation of this in rust is extremely silly

What if I did a toot with predictive text and then I could have drowned them out with headphones and then I was going to make it to the target star system with a viable human population and ecosystems to the point of the day after the first one is 56k to the next few days.

Anyone clever worked out if game streaming is a lateral move in terms of carbon footprint? better? worse?

Found a super-handy command today. fselect is a program that imitates SQL SELECT syntax for filesystem searches. Examples:

fselect path FROM / WHERE is_shebang = TRUE # Writes a list of all interpreter scripts to stdout. Also a lot of permission denied errors to stderr.
fselect path, size FROM ~ WHERE name LIKE '.%' AND is_file = TRUE ORDER BY size DESC # Writes a list of hidden files in your home directory somewhere from biggest to smallest.

The good thing about Pi-Hole is not that it blocks ads.
The good thing is that it gathers statistics on how much spyware my family uses and that I can show them those nice graphs.

Still my favourite (historical) issue on the #Rust compiler:
"hello world" contains Lovecraft quotes

I created the elephants for the Tusky App!

I've been trying out the #fish shell for the past week and I must say it's growing on me. It takes some getting used to as it doesn't follow bash/zsh "standards", but configuration is a breeze and it does all those fancy things #ZSH does right out of the gate, no plugins needed.

@codesections @musicmatze @tk I've used Rust since 0.5, and only used a debugger on Rust code once, because the code had `unsafe { transmute() }` that was invalid. I could have just grepped for unsafe though :)

The Risc-V development board from SiFive 'freedom E310' arrived today. It is tiny! I now own a little piece of computer history.
