Is it possible to embed badges (eg shields.io) in toots? Seems like we need raw html input, but also seems like there should be a way...

@amolith I occasionally consider writing an app that would push-button start an instance of some free (as in freedom) server on a cloud of your choosing. I see you run several yourself. What are your thoughts about that kind of self-serve model? (user would, of course, have to have the cloud or computer ready with creds and/or cards.)

Thanks #Sourcehut for giving me a place to put my #bitbucket code!

I'm starting into TornadoFX. Though I never used JavaFx Script, it looks to me that the goals of that project can now be achieved through Kotlin. This is how it should be. Inventing a language for a specific task is a fallacy. Language should be generic. DSLs may follow as applications of the language. DSLs aren't really a new language to learn. In the case of TornadoFX, it all looks like Kotlin.

Happy 05E00 everybody!

Tomorrow, Dec 22, at 3:45pm Pacific Time, Unix time in hexadecimal will roll over to 5E000000. 5F will come July 3rd, and the big 60 will be 2021 Jan 14. Maybe we should usher in the new Unix Hex era with a celebration?

Anyone going to the Sci-Fi Economics Lab in Brussels Nov 11? https://scifieconomicslab.net/

Will companies stop trying to emulate Apple, please! I have these "true wireless" earbuds. Each has a single button. The number of things each button does is literally ridiculous. This is not simplicity. Apple's single-button design is a failed experiment. #uxd

I'm totally geeking out over Stranger Than Fiction w Will Farrell from 2006. I watched it years ago but missed basically everything. Lots of weird aspects that make statements with multiple meanings. My fav is the statement that the writer is caught between the publisher and reader, both showing up as jokes that just aren't funny, making impossible demands. But that's just the tip of the iceburg. Keep in mind: Dustin Hoffman always takes his roles very seriously; everything is significant.

I'm totes going to grab a Galaxy Tab S6, and prob one for my mom when the LTE version hits. Any other android tablet users in the fediverse? They say we're a shrinking demographic.

@conservancy I sometimes dream of an app market, fully Librè, with subscription access supporting development on all apps and, of course, the market itself. Is that a model you've heard discussed before?

yesterday I found myself quacking for a surveillance van toy for my toddler. (no results.) treehouses and cars are boring. how about stimulating parents' imaginations for co-play?

I am not a fan of the columnar mastodon web interface. Would like a url for just federated timeline, for instance.
