@dwarf Slice it up, then fry it up with a little bit of butter, add large salt flakes at the end. Potentially serve with some real Wijcko satay sauce.

@dwarf What is wrong with you!

tyil, 13 days ago

@dwarf Woah! That sounds very rough man, I hope you can get some help and enjoy satay sauce like us healthy people in the near future!

@dwarf I blame the excessive heat, it is not made for people like me. There was also a mosquito that has physically abused me several times. I hope he gets arrested soon

@cnx I wish I could host my own train infrastructure, I'd be on it right now, but it is prohibitively expensive, and with current Dutch regulations there's only 1 train company allowed per area.

@dwarf I prefer them after they dried myself but to each their own

@taylan

If at any point you get stuck or have a question do not hesitate to ask in the Gleam Discord server.

Can be disregarded as a shitty meme I see

@Hyolobrika Welcome to the old life. Its only going to get worse!

@smallcircles I'd assume all of them, emoji are just characters in the end anyway. But the real question is, why would you want this? Its just a less accessible means of using regular words for hashtags.

@smallcircles

thus far only streams app supports them

Seems to work on #MissKey.> They can convey meaning well

If everyone agrees on the meaning of the picture, sure, but this is not the case. Various emojis can have vastly different meanings to different groups of people. If you're also going to add in custom emojis this is going to be even worse, you're throwing around emojis that are literally undefined by the majority of the world population.

With your example "boosts appreciated", making a hashtag BoostsAppreciated is clear, concise, and accessible to all. I've never even heard of a dedicated emoji for this, and if you suddenly started to use those I'd have to wonder what you're trying to convey, and use the alt-text to actually get anywhere. Seems like more hassle than just using text in the first place.> They can be used in addition to other textual hashtags

This is true, but do you expect people to just use double the hashtags going forward? One with readable text, the other in image form which you then have to hope works in every context?> textual hashtags [...] aren't always as accessible in their meaning either

Everyone can make "bad" hashtags, but I don't think making the pool worse is going to improve that. If any, it'd make it worse, now people can make bad hashtags with both text and images.> There are cultures around emoji use, that give meaning in certain contexts, and those cultures are part of social fabric and cohesion then

That sounds like a rather big assumption. Are you aware of any cultures that are currently unable to use hashtags, that have a strict need to use basically any image they can think of? To me this sounds incredibly unlikely, especially in the context of the #Fediverse.

@arendjr @sophiajt It's hard to due to its name, especially considering the time of year, so it'd be nice if people stopped re-using common English words for their pet projects. The language itself looks quite interesting, though

@dwarf Waking up isn't so bad on a day off, but of course today is shit weather... It just started raining, too 😮‍💨

tyil, 19 days ago

@dwarf Rain or no, I am going to smoke some meat on my bbq today. They can take my sun, but they cannot take my hobby of good food

tyil, 20 days ago

@dwarf Its not even being delivered?

tyil, 20 days ago

@dwarf You sure are special!

@catppuccin

SourceHut may be an option

It is most definitely an option, pretending GitHub is the only one that can do automated CI tasks is just setting yourself up as their slave from the onset.> Email/IRC lack voice chat

And there's BBB, Jitsi, Mumble, probably other free software means of doing voice chat. Again, you've convinced yourself you need the tools of a proprietary solution, so you can excuse the use of the proprietary solution you chose upfront.> Our bot wouldn't work

Then write your bot so it doesn't depend on proprietary features. IRC bots have worked great and continue to work great for many projects.> Seems like we'd lose more than we gain.

If that's what you need to tell yourself to stay loyal to proprietary corporate platforms, sure. But let's be honest here then, you care not much for the freedom of your users or your software projects.

Genuinely wondering why this is so prevalent among fosstodon users...
