No because it's not a tab, it's a filter for the 'for you' tab. If we were to make it a tab it would have to be a different feed from the 'for you', but they overlap. I think it's ok distinct as it is.

You've hit the nail on the head. But here's the mindblowing part—writing isn't just about text on a page. It's not about listing a bunch of facts to memorize. Writing is about human connection. And here's where it gets even more fascinating... [parody, not AI]
@xlayn🤪profilefollowreplied to@procyonprofilefollowlate is the hour in which this conjuror chooses to appear:
Some writing yes, If you want to write a post saying why your company has a position yes; if you are documenting an API, does the average swagger page have a human connection factor? If you are in X/FB, is any of your followers a "human connection"?
@xlayn🤪profilefollowcontinued:
Then, in some spaces, say big corp communications, the terse, direct communication is desired, for example the quarter earning communication? What about software?, what part of your browser gives you the "human connection"?
@procyonprofilefollowlate is the hour in which this conjuror chooses to appearreplied to@xlayn🤪profilefollow:
If writing (incl X/FB posts) is meant to convey "some human being did/saw/thought this and found it worth writing about", then AI undermines human connection and will annoy people. API docs, earnings reports, &c never conveyed that to begin with, so nobody will care about AI use.

I use Ubuntu with the default Gnome Desktop. I like it a lot and it just works. I've been using it since the beginning. It is not perfect (what distro is?) but it works fine for me.
@doveprofilefollowreplied to@davidprofilefollow🍎 A lifetime Apple user. Partner says I am pedantic, sarcastic, and cynic. I just want to be me.:
Arch, because I feel you cannot use Linux without knowing how it works, and sway for window manager because it is highly stable, wholly keyboard driven, and tiling
@melting_coffee_mug🤔profilefollowreplied to@davidprofilefollow🍎 A lifetime Apple user. Partner says I am pedantic, sarcastic, and cynic. I just want to be me.:
Arch Linux with KDE. I like that Arch comes with nothing and is pretty vanilla. No bloat, and customisable. No major upgrades where 5 things break at once. Install once, and it's fine until the device has to be replaced. Only then usually do a fresh install. It's up to date, still pretty boring, and you learn a bit in the process.

i distro hoped a lot. Finally i found my cozy home with debian with kde. 3 years still running without a problem all the software i use works perfectly and the games run smoothly.

Did it because I want to make a bot to bring top news from HN into my timeline as they arrive, because it's been a bit quiet recently and I need something to play with :p and I didn't want to use a different email to make an account.
@stagas🤸profilefollowcreative technologist creator of textlogcontinued:
Different followings/ers as well. You could always do a new account with a new email to do that, so nothing is new here. It's just an easier way to make a different new account.

To make the "back" button work, we need to be threading our locations in the query string. This way when you click back you're teleported to the right page and right scroll location and the post you clicked from highlights for a bit to remember our focus.

If you need the permalink, it's the link on its timestamp in a post's page. Same for the user profiles and hashtags permalinks, they're inside their pages, the headings are the permalinks in case you want to copy them to share.

Something that came up recently was a css only implementation of showing when we have hit the character max count before you click submit. Unlike the JavaScript implementation which can show you a dynamic count, this cannot but it is cool and is lightweight
@stagas🤸profilefollowcreative technologist creator of textlogreplied to@ku🤔profilefollowHai I am ku:
Thanks! I used the auto-grow field-sizing trick! Works well. The other trick has issues with prefilled textareas, so it fails in bio textarea and when editing a post/preview/draft. Also I was talking about counting the characters or showing some sort of progress bar, that’s impossible as well. The <textarea> maxlength hard limit is fine. With the new 500 char limit you’d hardly notice it as well.

The mobile UI needs some work still. Much better than before, but not cigar. Writing a new post, or reply zoom it disproportionally, and the “hot”, “for you” are all piled up. Same for following, follows, etc.

Please pass this to your developer, @stafas. ☺️
