Deleted my Stack Overflow account. It means my reputation and profile over there are gone - evidently even though my answers were licensed CC-BY-SA their claim is that their ToS prevent me from making them delete them, or from them selling them. 😡

Back to the UK after a week in California; tomorrow, I’ll be taking a look around at the NEC.

In other news, Priority Pass is essentially worthless to me at this point, since everyone apparently has lounge access on offer via bank accounts as a free add on to other memberships, so there’s never any room. First world problems, but meh.

At SFO heading back home after a week of meetings and conversations about and community and futures - sincere thanks to @mike and his team for being the best hosts for this visit.

To borrow a phrase from a friend, my mind is “fizzing with ideas” and full of positive thoughts about the future of the open social web.

Today was a great set of meetings and discussions, moving the forward. Nice to reconnect after too long with @chrismessina - and to meet @snarfed.org@snarfed.org @J12t @anca @frozencanuck in person, lots more connections to make tomorrow. It is an exciting time in the and ecosystem!

According to the most recent @linuxmatters episode, it *is *the year of the Linux desktop, so they have decided to pivot into being a gaming podcast... 🤷🏼

I got sad that the GUI app for converting images for the BrachioGraph that I was using uses PySimpleGUI, and that that library went to a closed source model, so I made a new-but-similar thing using PySides https://github.com/andypiper/brachiograph-converter-gui

One issue with the schedule, AFAICT - if I hold multiple tickets, the other ticketed attendees don't have an account on the website with which to heart the talks / feed the scheduling algorithm. Am I holding it wrong?

Co-authored an update from the @MastodonEngineering team with my friend @renchap - a sneak peek at what is coming in 4.3 (and looking ahead from there). We'll aim to make these updates a regular feature for the blog. Let us know what you think! https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2024/05/trunk-tidbits-april-2024/

@j12t hi!

I wanted to find something I knew I'd seen on Mastodon a few weeks ago - @ivory for the win, I'd bookmarked the post, and was able to search my bookmarks 🙏🏻 exactly the kind of thing I've wanted to be able to do with my social channels for a long time.

This right here is the value of having an open API (and @bardi also makes the point of thanking the folks who help to build TootSDK, as something he built Tusks on top of). What a great app - I just bought myself a license.
