Mastodon isn't a Twitter clone but it was made to fill that exact niche. Short posts with mentions, hashtags, and URLs. Such details give the feel of a platform. The velocity, the atmosphere. On a personal level that's just what I like. And I think it would be reasonable to assume many of those who signed up do, too.

I can't believe it ended with Daenerys saying "This has been quite a game. You might even call it a Game of Thrones" and then winking at the camera.

#youtube-dl is a public domain video and audio downloader for a wide range of sites.

youtube-dl can download from YouTube, PeerTube, and pretty much anything with a video or audio stream embedded somewhere in the page.

youtube-dl can also recurse into other video links present on the page, allowing for a full account/channel #backup if so desired.

It can also download comments and other metadata.

Oh hey, I should post this here too! I made a CSS-only async chat by using background-image requests to send data and long-running http requests to return it.

> GraphQL: the good… the bad… Did I miss anything?

My take on #graphQL is slightly different: I think it's only useful if you want/need a strong separation between your front end and back end. In smaller, simpler apps, it's better to tightly couple the two ends—whenever you need different data on the front end, just add an API for it on the back end.

GraphQL is only helpful when the complexity of the project or size of the team makes that impractical.

Do you disagree?

Cool cool cool, Twitter trends sidebar spoiling #GoT again

Today the Game Boy turns 30!

To celebrate, I’m finally releasing #WideGB, an emulator modified that peeks beyond the boundaries of Game Boy games.

Happy birthday! 🎂 #retrogaming
