Every time I think that I can abstraction something nicely using Go's interfaces I get beaten down by the lack of flexibility in its type system.

So much duplicated code could be avoided with a few more linguistic tools.

@Are0h just being silly.

I don't disagree with anything you've said, but not sure how to get it to resonate with people. Mostly I get blank stares and discussions of other corporate controlled platforms. I'm not sure people have a true frame of reference to understand the issues and the alternatives.

@Are0h so you're saying we should all use LinkedIn?

@snwh generally speaking compression is a hard technical problem and a hard design problem. There's quite a few edge cases on both sides.

But, where there's will there's a way. I'm curious if the fact that Mastodon is still smaller than Twitter makes it not a priority.

Random on my music player is really rocking this morning.

Which always reminds me of when people say "this music service makes good choices for me." Random makes pretty good choices too. You're a machine designed to find patterns, you'll find them whether they're intentional or not.

@popey I'm sure that Brexit will solve this...

@snwh I like that on Twitter as well. What's surprised me is that with all the frontends for Mastodon I haven't found a single one that implemented it.

@popey why would in the devices be better? They couldn't see it?

@lufthans the hack of champions!

@szbalint I really love the phrase "Belonging is stronger than facts."

@Gargron because it would make rapping about geometry easier?

It is an unpopular opinion, but I really do enjoy SQL sometimes. The ability to say "this is exactly what I want, you figure out how to get it really quickly" is pretty awesome.

Probably I just really like databases and SQL is the gateway to that magic.

@n8 apparently they added an interface for many of those, it was already fixed by someone else :-)

That'll be on master though. You can switch to the master version with: $ snap refresh --edge inkscape

@rysiek it seems like the real problem with any serverless solution will always be push messaging. What are you thinking there? It seems like the only way to avoid that is to allow configuring the server to something you trust (i.e. not centralized and owned by the messaging network).
