Make sure to get your two minutes hate for X and all how remain there. (They actually think it's okay you know)

Going to do a list of your favourite Bluesky people who are still active on X, even posting their socials, at some point. You might be surprised by who thinks it's actually fine!

How do you feel about block lists? I worry about the potential for abuse. Don't like someone? Get them on a block list. At the same time it's really nice to be able to filter out stuff you don't want. I have no answers.

Huge win from @franzanth.bsky.social creating a Content Scraper Blocklist: bsky.app/profile/cont... It's a blocklist for the kinds of engagement bait accounts that repost stolen content, often with misleading captions.

Thoughts please. We have a complex graph structure in the db. I want to log changes. But as things can be deleted in the database I can't use IDs to track what is and what was. So I'm storing it as JSONb. Then I diff the JSON to see if anything changes.

The worst prank I've heard of: A dude dug out a hollow in a tub of margarine, placed his crap in it then neatly placed margarine on top. Leaving it for his roommates to discover after having used enough to expose the human poo.

If you contribute to the official language tooling, it’ll have a much bigger impact. And this is a great opportunity to make a huge positive impact on the entire OCaml community!

You are up to date.
