#JustRead #Coders by @clive – an exhilarating look at the history & culture of computer programmers.
My coding ability is limited to self-taught HTML & CSS, but I understand the addictive euphoria of coding that Clive talks about – the high of creating something essentially out of nothing.
I love that coding is one of the few skills that you can teach yourself – & that it demands such a perverse mix of logic, persnicketyness, & artistry.

Welcome. There us no algorithm putting your posts into eyes.
Engagement on Mastodon is by hashtags. Make new hashtags, find well.used ones.
After typing a # Mastodon will the you the number of users for the hashtag.
For example if you type - #usp - Mastodon will say 1.9k under highlight meaning almost two thousand recent posts with rhe US politics hashtag "#uspoli"
Zooming in to see small stuff on Mastodon is a glitchy experience.
Good luck good friends.

You can zoom a post with an image by pinch, but clicked images cannot be zoomed.
Also zoomed posts (unclicked) are terribly unstable and will scroll wildly without warning.
I am deeply grateful for mastodon code and instances, this is communication on continued development of a wonderful platform.

I suggested earlier post that coders write an app for browsers that shows the price of Trumps Tariff Taxes on all rhe things.
Many wrote back saying it would be too hard because constantly changing Trump babble and policy changes.
Here is another path, have the app check prices for the product on other nations Amazon's and subtract the difference in real.time. and
That's the Trump Tax
Can we please get rid of "selected for deletion" in replies and edits.
Please, third time this week I had to open previous edits to copy text back into my post because "automatically selected for deletion" deleted the post I was trying to add a preposition to.

Offering translation in #Mastodon
should be EASY, if not automatic. Offering translation should be opt out, not "what are the obscure steps I need to compete so that translation is offered"
Please #mastodon #coders fix the #translate obstacle.

You can set your language of posting to be the sane as your interface. That will turn on Translate to your readers.
Mastodon should make a button, in settings "OFFER Translations" so its easy, explicit and not obfuscated.

Mozilla needs new governance. New Board.
And an end to google money.
Ban bluesky APIs that allow linking, posting, autoposting of fascism on Mastodon.
FOX fucking NEWS is posting into our Mastodon through Bluesky.
Ban, remove, cut, gut, surgically remove bluesky and threads NOW
NOW.
Block accounts from bluesky, block instances carrying the venom.
Fox News in Mastodon?
No.
Can I be more clear?
No.
Fox News on Mastodon through effing bluesky bullshit api effing sharing?
No. Redacted. REDACTED.
I swear too much. But ffs get them off, end the blusky shit API .
This is a demand. Or a moderator request, but we have warned about creeping fascism of bluesky for YEARS NOW.
Hey coders, don’t hide behind job titles!
Agile teams thrive when everyone is willing to step outside their role when needed. A little flexibility can go a long way in getting things done!

I just noticed the coders moved the alt and hide symbols on images to the right.
Thank you, thank you.
With the tiny alt and hide icons on the right, images that often contain text are less often obscured.
All of the software you use, from big tech companies, Apple, Microsoft, Google, Facebook/beta, owners, took fleets of private jets to Washington to bathe in Trumps victory, adore his cock, watch Nazi salutes..., is watching you, your work, and keeping transcripts. All of them brought massive cash and promises.
You are in danger.
Your software is not yours.
You are in danger.
Linking to xitter in HTML to hide the URL is a frigging crime.
I want Mastodon to put the actual URL next to any hiding by HTML.
FFS.
To say nothing of malware URLs
PUT THE REAL IN THE POST!
