Fediverse! I’ve been building a bridge to Bluesky, and they’re turning on federation soon, which means my bridge will be available soon too. You’ll be able to follow people on Bluesky from here in the fediverse, and vice versa.

Bluesky is a broad network with lots of worthwhile people and conversations! I hope you’ll give it a chance. Only fully public content is bridged, not followers-only or otherwise private posts or profiles. Still, if you want to opt out, I understand. Feel free to DM me at @snarfed (different account than this one), email me, file a GitHub issue, or put #nobridge in your profile bio.

A number of us have thought about this for a while now, we’re committed to making it work well for everyone, and we’re very open to feedback. Thanks for listening. Feel free to share broadly.

jbwharris,

@maegul @shlee @snarfed.org@snarfed.org @activitypubblueskybridge @fedidevs @fediversenews Agreed. I just want to actually interact with people I actually know on other platforms from the comfort of Mastodon. I miss people I actually know in real life.

let's imagine you're resolving this merge conflict (in screenshot).

You've forgotten which code comes from your current branch and which one comes from the "other" branch. How do you figure it out? Do you:

  1. remember what the "top" and "bottom" parts correspond to from past merge conflicts?
  2. remember what HEAD means?
  3. read the last line of the merge conflict?
  4. run something like git show main or git diff mybranch..main to see the diff?
  5. enable diff3
  6. something else?
jbwharris,

@b0rk this is one of the many reasons I use a GUI like Fork for Git.

Polls are not objective reflections of public opinion – they help construct that which they ostensibly just measure. But that also means they have a massive impact shaping political behavior.

And this one is really concerning – because “Biden too old” seems to dominate everything else.

jbwharris,

@Virginicus @tzimmer_history but is that the message hammered home at debates, social media or CNN/MSNBC? No.

Apropos of nothing whatsoever, the word “grok” has always grated on my nerves for no reason I can adequately articulate. Same with “tricksy”, while I’m at it. Just nails on a chalkboard.

So, what word do you wish some author had never forced into existence?

jbwharris,

@Meyerweb Addicting used where the word addictive should be

So if I've downloaded a 13GB full-install package, why does the install process need two hours of flat-out full network bandwidth to do the install? What was the point of the 13gig download.

jbwharris,

@ottaross are they supported versions? Are you using OpenCore Legacy Patcher?

Not sure if this works well on Mastodon but on and let's see how this goes (also, feel free to copy!).

jbwharris,

@jynersolives I found I was fascinated by the concept of it. I think George Lucas spent a lot of mental energy trying to manufacture a twist on par with the Luke/Vader reveal, and Jar Jar was it. He just overplayed his hand. He thought Jar Jar was going to be beloved as the first CGI character, but the audience hated him. I envisioned a Kaiser Sozé moment type reveal that never came.

jbwharris,

@jynersolives What was your take on the whole Darth Jar Jar concept?

My new iPhone 15 Pro Max finally arrived! Told the FedEx guy via the doorbell cam to hold on a minute while I rushed up to the front door, which he happily did.

He even told me how to add instructions next time. Good guy.

jbwharris,

@kevinlovestech How are you finding the 15 Pro Max? I’m planning on doing a mega jump from 8+ to one, and was curious on impressions in general.

jbwharris,

@kevinlovestech So what would you say is the key difference between the 14 Pro Max and the 15 Pro Max? I was kinda weighing all my options, including maybe the 15 Plus. But as I'm so removed from modern iPhone designs, I'm weighing the size/function/price at the point.

jbwharris,

@kevinlovestech I guess the action button is the key differentiation, aside from always on screen. Have you found the action button handy?

Illegal developer life pro tip: Make sure you write your code with tons of regex without any comments, and now the employer can't fire you. They are now stuck with you. muahahaha

jbwharris,

@nixCraft Truth be told, the only surefire thing I’ve found ChatGPT useful for is writing regex 😂

jbwharris,

@5t3ph That’s handy, not sure I knew about that one.

jbwharris, to appleshortcuts

Was messing around with #AppleShortcuts again tonight and think I really got my head around pulling data from JSON. I’m sure lots of other people were doing the same on a Saturday night 😂

jbwharris,

@czottmann This was the bit of information I was missing. I’d swear I tried this previously without luck. But this is the first time I’ve seen that spelled out implicitly. Most examples I came across weren’t trying to pull 3-4 levels deep. And this also made me realize if something is shared to RoutineHub doesn’t mean it’s actually well constructed 😂

jbwharris,

@czottmann damn, right in front of my face apparently 🤦‍♂️

jbwharris,

@czottmann I struggled mightily with accessing data that was nested deeply in other Shortcuts and couldn’t seem to find any examples of someone doing it well. Just seems very poorly documented.

John Oliver‘s piece this week on Elon Musk wasn’t nearly as cathartic as I thought it would be. Dissapointing.

jbwharris,

@gedeonm It was mostly because he was pretty fair. He acknowledged his accomplishments. I think the thing he didn’t delve into too much was many of the stories of how often he’s a detriment within companies and requires active management of his craziness while the adults take care of the actual business.

jbwharris,

@gedeonm It was kind of sad that he got the kid glove treatment, and even mentioned worried about retribution against the press. It seemed like he truly didn’t want to burn him down like many of us would have liked to see.

jbwharris, to random

Things you find on Facebook 😂

jbwharris,

@czottmann There's either the implication he's got his eye closed and is enjoying it. Or he's turned himself off and is just letting it happen 😬

jbwharris,

The fact that Threepio's eyes aren't lit up somehow makes it worse 😂

I want to connect with some Threads accounts on here. Is that possible on ? I hope I don’t have to switch instances to achieve that.

jbwharris,

@dharrison @mosseri I guess that’s the question, is it select accounts now? I’ve tried finding any other accounts without luck.

@SNerd @nfl pretty sure the Niners made that obvious a few months ago

Damn, that finale was phenomenal. Some of the best crafted television I’ve seen in a long time, and I’m not even quantifying that with comic book television. It was that good.

jbwharris,

@RememberUsAlways to be honest, I hope so. I’m a big fan of tight storytelling, and given the structure of the MCU there’s no real reason it couldn’t stand on its own as 12 episodes of excellence, then have the story carry on in some other way in the MCU. Though I’m also cynical of Hollywood’s ability to leave anything alone.

shooting themselves in the foot now.

@nfl

jbwharris,

@janerationx @nfl that penalty was so borderline, when he was still not down. They should have gotten a penalty for Philly, just BS

jbwharris, to waterlooregion

I received this email from the Cambridge Times and think it really embodies the disconnect that exists. The idea that they feel their publication is my favourite and that the print edition was beloved. When I think of the print edition I think junk mail, a paper that prioritized selling its front cover to a used car 4 page ad. A paper that got thinner and thinner, while filling the paper with articles from Guelph and KW instead of covering Cambridge.

@waterlooregion

jbwharris,

@waterlooregion It’s been a long time since Cambridge has had a newspaper that was beloved, and odds are it’s back to when the Cambridge Reporter closed.
