"for you" now contains the same message multiple times

added two more screenshots to - the "root" post view is incorrect, but when reply-on-reply, information goes up-then-down.

root post view IS correct, sorry.

I understand your confusion, but that's the formatting - quoted parent is below the child post - then that post's replies follow in the discussion view. The top post is always quoting its parent below it, the different bg makes it distinct. Just need to get used to it, same on X.

There really is no other way to include the parent otherwise, you have to break the hierarchy at some point, the other form would need to omit the parent body and show a 'parent' link but we want to include its body.

…

and moving the quoted above would break the consistency with the actual feed posts which would make it way more confusing.

Hello, seems fun this space, keep explore!

Really nice so far!!

I'm looking for a way to manage my bookmarks easily on desktop and Android. Anyone have any experience with software like that? It'd be nice to be able to tag or categorize pages, and maybe to keep local mirrors for certain ones. I'm open to self-hosting. Thanks for reading!

I've stopped managing bookmarks after del.icio.us died - now i just hit the browser star but they seem to disappear and never visit them again, apart from the most recent. The situation sucks really. I'm also interested in a good solution.

Inspired by two projects of github:schildep I start to explore what can be expressed in Lean and make coding agents implement and prove the implementation at the same time.

The two projects of github:schildep are "3d mesh intersection" and "multipolygon intersection". I can try "Voronoi diagram generation" as a starter.

Bonnie Raitt stuck in my head, who, by some definition, is a nepo baby, but well before the term was coined. I think the problem is obv not family businesses, but a shrinking pool of opportunities for those without a prebuilt network to inherit (or buy).

This is another way to describe "increasing wealth inequality".

why am I awake so early?

textlog brain worm! cheers!!

As I’ve gotten older, my mind has turned on in ways that prevent me going back to sleep. Hope you get the rest you need!

I feel icky about code generation (as in writing software to generate code).

Deterministic code generation is fine by me. Quite happy to use templating systems for example. Problems occur when randomness is introduced. If you can avoid that it should be less "icky".

Genuinely, I’m grateful we have such great choices when it comes to programming languages.

It’s just sad the whole corporate world runs on Java, Python, C++, C#, and JavaScript so I just look in envy at what I could be using

Nudged by an interesting read about time perception to try reclaim moments where I can deliberately feel bored again.

So, I just got an invite to the new W Social (EU) platform. It requires proper ID authentication - so actual provable humans are on there. Feels good and slightly optimistic. Let's see how it goes.

Is there anybody writing spanish here?

Just found a nice patch of sun in a comfy spot on the couch. Maybe cats do have some things worked out.

Can really relate to

thanks to ai I genuinely hate the word "genuinely" now 😭

The machine I use textlog on didn't have a functioning display due to the xlibre drama. It's over and I'm back now!

Was not aware that there had been any xlibre drama. What's the story there?

Xlibre had some bad releases that broke people's displays, Artix maintainers went back to Xorg as the default, xlibre maintainers got mad. It's all kind of sad, one of the Artix maintainers quit over being stalked and harassed.

…

Drama indeed. It's all X.org here as there's no reason not to for me. Anyway, glad you have your display back.

I’ve never posted a lot on social medias. I hope I have a good time here!
