@roguefoam@alpha.polymaths.social Note: I would transition my current account and followers over but unfortunately GoToSocial doesn't have this capability yet and I don't want to migrate while the new site is still in Alpha stage. Once these two things are cleared, all my existing Mastodon accounts will be migrated there.

Real quick just want to share: for the time being most of my main posts will come from my new account over at @roguefoam@alpha.polymaths.social - really appreciating the work Amin is putting in over there and can't wait to see it grow.

As I transition some replies to old conversations and old things I follow may still come from here, but if you want to keep up with me follow over there :)

@amin Oop

@amin I just saw it 😂 Filled out!

@amolith It is nice and certainly feature-rich, but it was a hard mental transition from Markdown and not as many of the tools I use have built-in support for it. Just didn't seem practical to continue using.

@amolith I've tried LaTeX and AsciiDoc and the only of those two I keep coming back to is LaTeX (and only because a prof. offers extra credit for submitting papers in it 😂). I guess Liquid also counts for me because it replaces MD in my static site generators, and I've moved away from that too.

@selectric Even better: people should stop using Discord as a primary source of information and keep it to chat or support. Too many communities rely on Discord messages as their information hub when it should really be a searchable website or even in some cases an entire wiki.

@selectric If I'm not active in the server, @everyone gets an instant mute along with the server the first time something like this happens. I'm in a ham radio server that loves to ping either that or @here every time the admins have a question and it is bonkers.

@PlaystationPixy I've never really been a fan of the Wordpress JetPack plugin setup as a whole, surely there's gotta be some other solution out there but I just haven't found it yet :( Luckily I don't use WordPress for my own blogs, but I do some WordPress development for clients so if you find any alternatives let me know!

@smurthys I rarely ever categorize movies as "suspense" in my mind so I generally give it the same movies as I'd give thriller.

Fediverse: do you favorite posts on top of boosting them, or just boost and just favorite?

Graphically visualizing the erasure of a 16kbit #EPROM with a UV source in 16 seconds!

This time lapse shows all of the bits being flipped from 0 to 1 over about a 24 minute period. The first bit flips at 8 minutes.

What's fascinating to me is the bits "twinkle" as they flip back and forth before settling.

@thudfactor I’d love to switch off Spotify but right now they’ve got the best value student subscription to get me Hulu as well. Tough to give that up. Might switch to Tidal though if I can figure out a good hi-fi setup for iPhones on a budget and really be able to take advantage of the service.

@jasonemiller Not sure directly what to put on that but want to share: I’m working on a project to build out a community based ham radio wiki to make all this type of information more accessible. If you stumble upon or write out a bit of written information to share for this we’d love more contributors! https://OpenHam.wiki

It’s not just about selling you ads.

Ex: you’re a teenager living in a highly conservative state. You’re visiting sites your ultra religious family don’t want you to. Google tracks you NATIVELY IN THE BROWSER and informs 3rd parties of your interest in LGBTQ sites.

You’re NOT SAFE using Chrome.

I just made my first #CSS-only animation! It kinda sucks but it was so fun to make :)

My movie-watching this week will hopefully be finishing the entire #HarryPotter series. I haven’t watched them in many years and want to remember them better. I’m making good progress so far! Last night I watched Chamber of Secrets (https://boxd.it/4P7nO9), today I watched Prisoner of Azkaban (https://boxd.it/4P9Ctz), and tonight I’ll watch Goblet of Fire to put me halfway through! :)
