@KitRedgrave @aescling also “kindness” in this case is mostly just a matter of keeping the project scope manageable lol

@KitRedgrave @aescling cutting dependencies is slated for code review, but there are few features in mastodon that nobody needs

@KitRedgrave @aescling right now the only major feature which i am actively interested in developing (and this will be a long‐term project if we do decide to do it) is pseud support; otherwise i would say my priorities are:

• making the code better at what it already does

• documenting the code better

• making mastodon play better with other technologies; reducing the amount of (usually poorly‐documented) mastodon‐specific conventions

• increasing user agency wrt their own data, what they can do with it, and what kind of information they can send out

long‐term i also might want to build a frontend which isn’t react/redux, but i really don’t much care about mastodon frontend development atm

@KitRedgrave @aescling for a walk down to the corner store (a 7‐11); we’ll grab a Slurpee® or maybe a hot chocolate if it’s cold

what does this do? idk, take it for a spin and find out :moggy:

some quick CSS 

html{ Display: Grid; Padding: 0 1REM; Grid: Auto-Flow / 6FR 4FR; Gap: 1REM; Color: #000000; Background: }
body{ Display: Block; Position: Relative; Margin-Inline-Start: Auto; Margin-Inline-End: 0; Max-Inline-Size: 38EM; Font: Medium / 1.25 Serif }
ins[role=note]{ Display: Block; Box-Sizing: Border-Box; Float: Left; Clear: Left; Position: Relative; Right: Calc(-100% - 1REM); Margin-Right: Calc(-40% / .6); Border-Block-Start: Thin Solid; Border-Block-End: Thin Solid; Inline-Size: Calc(40% / .6); Padding: 1EM; Color: ; Background: ; Text-Decoration: None }
ins[role=note]::before{ Font-Weight: Bold; Content: "※ " }
mark{ Box-Decoration-Break: Clone; Margin: -3PX; Border: 2PX Groove ; Padding: 1PX; Background: }

anyway i read a powerpoint from some Ruby presentation on new internationalization features in 2.4 and one of the slides was just titled “Isn't ASCII-only Case Conversion Enough?”

it never ceases to surprise me the sheer ignorance of programmers when it comes to text

you’re a programmer, all you *do* is text

the kind of girl who knows about Unicode casefolding

i do love how it is like, a romance song

for an anime about Ash and Goh

“We’ll do everything together: Learning, training, never stopping! (Go! Go!)

Anywhere you’re going, so am I! Take me on a journey to your heaarrrrtt…”

i have the theme song for Pokémon Master Journeys stuck in my head, which is a problem because it’s only 30 seconds

the solution to my writers block was to replace the sex scene with an epic pokémon battle

« The multitude of character sets leads many vendors to recommend Unicode. »

i submitted an issue to mastodon to deal with this although i’m not optimistic about it actually getting fixed

oh, apparently homebrew sets up the initial database cluster that way, thanks homebrew 🙄

okay so my local development environment is setting up databases with a locale of `C` despite my environment clearly specifying a `LOCALE` of `en_US.UTF-8` and why the fuck
