@doriantaylor 👏👏👏
i love that there’s this growing multiplicity of github-ish things, many of them open source.
it’d be great if they were federated or aggregated in some way, so we could choose not-necessarily-github and expect discovability, participation in discussions, pull requests across, etc wherever we host our own repositories. ht @bacchus1234

@akkartik i thought there were lots of interesting ideas there! the mechanism <-> organism spectrum seems ripe for revisiting in these days of LLMs.
the thing about past writing is that you have been writing. the opposite of something to be embarrassed about.
@akkartik ha! i got to know you a bit here, but from long ago you just showed up in my referrers. https://www.ribbonfarm.com/2014/04/09/the-legibility-tradeoff/
A couple of weeks ago I announced "fossilphant", a program to turn your mastadon archive into a stand-alone static website. Here are my old instances, archived: https://www.interfluidity.com/microblog-archives/econtwitter/ + https://www.interfluidity.com/microblog-archives/fosstodon/
I didn't get much feedback, wondered if having to clone or download the repository made it unwieldy for people to try.
So I've repackaged it into a single #scalacli script. You need to install scala-cli, but then you can just download and run a single script. See https://github.com/swaldman/fossilphant/
the human condition is inexcusable.
solidarity can turn mere vapor into substance.
it's right there in the word.
"I've set an ambitious goal to raise $50,000 by midnight" means "I've set an ambitious goal to take your money NOW."
different vibes, though. i guess.

(the elipses elide the word “not” in the original. i think i am fixing an incomplete edit, rather than reversing the author’s intention by doing that. but tell me if i’m wrong!)
@stevendbrewer ever, sure. but not the norm!
@cshentrup @w7voa no one would have described Rahm Emmanuel as “diplomatic”, before he was appointed a senior diplomat …
people who say something or other is a dream like that would be a good thing must have a pretty different experience of sleep than i have.

@clintruin good day!
@brecht @interfluidity@econtwitter.net give it a shot, let me know if i can help! https://www.interfluidity.com/microblog-archives/econtwitter/single_111064611501488464.html#post-111064611501488464
@brecht @interfluidity@econtwitter.net the gentleman who founded econtwitter.net just decided to move on, and no one (me included alas) has stepped in to take his place. unless someone does, econtwitter.net is set to shut down October 1.
@undercoverhist i've been having the same fun tonight!
@undercoverhist Your followers the transition takes care of, but you have to turn the crank a bit to restore your own followings. You can still access over at econtwitter.net the Import/Export section. Under Data Export, you can download your follows CSV file. Then, at your live instance, sciences.social, you'll see an Import subsection under the same Import/Export. "Following List" is probably already selected as the default. Just "choose file" the CSV that you downloaded and hit "UPLOAD".
