#verbose

2025-06-04

All four images have alt-text, but I'm VERY new to the whole #writing #alttext thing, so I'm sorry if it's really #verbose or overly descriptive.

@da_667 what a catty introduction to ids - I think running a js engine llike grey noise or bsd fingerprints is worth it too and pkt cap 24/7 #interesting #verbose

@adbenitez @opensourceopenmind #DeltaChat is federated via email, so #metadata-wise it is #verbose, I think (as #matrix is also verbose, maybe even more).

That's one of the advantages of #signal, that it is quite quiet on #metadata.

I think you could also check #briar, #SimpleXChat, or when it is ready #reticulum-based #LXMF when you just want to have other options and don't care about communicating with a wide audience which is not coming from a hacker bubble.

→ What is Utility-First CSS?
heydonworks.com/article/what-i

“Utility-first detractors complain a lot about how verbose this is and, consequently, how ugly. And it is indeed. But you’d forgive it that if it actually solved a problem, which it doesn’t. It is unequivocally an inferior way of making things which are alike look alike, as you should.”

“It turns out, people in tech are particularly bad at distinguishing between #paradigm shifts and paradigm sharts.”

#CSS #verbose #ugly #problem #tech

@pws Yes, theoretically it should connect, but it seems more like an Android kernel or driver bug (in the area of legacy wifi backward compatibility) since the iPhone does connect.
Edit
However, now the iPhone is also having trouble connecting, so the congestion of the #accesspoint is to blame too.
Meanwhile I've activated #Android #DeveloperOptions for randomized mac and #verbose wifi registration and noticed a #standard=0 which is 802.11 not even g.
But it always connects under the 802.11n.

heyo!  #introduction time.  i tend to be #verbose, so i understand if my first #toot is seen as #tldr.

i have been a strict #vegan for 10 years.  my #family is small.  my only #son is an #electrical #engineer who is a #licensed #PE in 4 states.  i live with 3 #dogs - an older #yorkie and 2 much younger #biewer terriers.  i also keep an #aquatic #turtle and maintain a #worm #farm for him.

i'm twice #retired, first from the #military, and then from a #normal life.  i'm an #intel #alumnus, having spent 12 years in #post-silicon #validation of #processors and #chipsets.

i'm quite new to the #fediverse.  in #discord they call me #grey or #wolf.

in that #platform i'm either in several #Crypto servers, or in servers full of social/gaming #bots (the #OwO #bot is my #escape from the #ratrace).

my #interests are mostly #technology, #animals, and #music.

i built my first #x86 #computer in 1993.  i've been #crypto #mining for 7 years.  i build my own #rigs.

and now i've reached the limit.

I can totally ship our upcoming game with a 100-screen, 2400-word tutorial, right? No one would mind that. No. Of course not. People love to read and click through things. It's like… the most popular thing. 😄

Remember: Never use a big word when a singularly unloquacious and diminutive linguistic expression will satisfactorily accomplish the contemporary necessity.

Normal people: I met this guy, he was average, sort of boring

Victorian writers: He was, in the way of most men, possessed of a rudimentary intelligence, his countenance ordinary, his bearing mild, with some weakness about the shoulders, his hair the color of ash; he spoke of the weather.

@actuallyautistic Another handy term from #SoftwareEngineering that can be borrowed to describe the #autistic experience is the notion of a "leaky abstraction". In lay terms, this is when you try to put something in simple terms, but every attempt to do so forces you to say things in a way that isn't quite correct. To be 100% correct, you have to go into detail, and there's just no way around it, because the #language you speak doesn't have the particular words that you need.

If you have an #ImpedanceMismatch between your thoughts and the language you speak, then the language is going to be full of #LeakyAbstractions for you, and you are going to be stuck being way more #verbose than folks that use the language as intended if you want to express your thoughts to the same level of accuracy or precision as them. I can't claim to speak for other #autistic folks, but this is a big part of why I'm overly verbose sometimes.

@heroicendeavour I had used a couple (Metatext and Tootle) but am currently using the web app—only function that’s missing is “add another post to thread” button which is frankly better for everyone 😅 #Verbose

FWIW, I like it here on #Mastodon. I am also getting the hang of the #hashtags, feeling out what does and doesn't fly, love the freedom to be #verbose, appreciate the #European folks, and am gonna keep on keeping on.

There are some words today I haven't seen in a while. I guess I'm glad this isn't Absurdle with 16 words.

@eb thanks!

i don't know of fediverse norms either. but do know that i don't use mastodon for whatever reason.

and i agree, i love transparency and even #verbose. never meant to imply anything against it. i even listed more than 4 hashtags myself, not sure you noticed it. 😁

(still need to migrate all my similar notes somehow into ahoxus...)

less than 2 weeks ago, on a friday, i started to develop yet another side project: ahoxus.org/laundry after getting inspiration from a tiktok about laundromats (among many other life developments).

yesterday i went to the streets (mostly inside the vreal town's university, utad) searching for support to this and the whole ahoxus project. and i took many notes elsewhere, in portuguese, which i shall eventually translate back here somehow...

today i wanted to do the same as yesterday, but my quest ended much earlier!

for more context,

last friday (exactly 1 week after the beginning in the laundry quest, if i made no miscalculations) i got a contract proposition in which we would pay 1500 euros for 3 months of dedicated services to build the business plan which we could use for moving the laundromat project forward with perspective partners *and* applying for sponsors...

so today i went first to "domus institute" to ask for legal advice on this contract proposition. they only re-enforced what i heard yesterday: look for a lawyer, portugal doesn't seem to offer any free or low cost labor (such as internships from university students) for such minor work that we might need.

then i went to a second lawyer, the cheapest in the area i've met previously. he would charge 60 EUR to do the work, with some room for small revisions.

finally i went to #nervir (as advised by fernando, my beloved land owner partner), an association with school formation around law topics and could finally talk with someone, fatima, who could help! not only that, they offer the same services as the expensive start pme but for free, in association with the government groups.

(i also saw an ad there for 4inova.pt which i still haven't entered to see.)

so, next, i will sign up as an unemployed person in the government (iefp) so we can later apply to the programs. then we will finally constitute the ahoxus organisation. which will also allow us to get do funding and open some internships for the university.

in case any stranger reads this today, i wish you a great wednesday too! 🥰

(believe me, all these words might sound like a lot, but they come as a simple result of much work and life enjoyment, which includes all the downsides on the way.)

@s8n @Gargron i have experienced something similar, but i blame writefreely and the biggest fediverse design flaw:

we can delete posts.

disclaimer: once again i will get #verbose today. 🥺

i truly think posts should only ever get deleted in 1 situation:

when we choose to garbage collect old data that nobody cares for anymore.

all other situations should get (as an analogy dev talk here) versioned out instead, into a hidden branch.

and writefreely takes this important feature offered by fediverse (although fediverse clearly makes the wrong documentation of that feature) and goes 1 step further down the can of worms rabbit hole: when you edit a post, it deletes the previous version.

so, *perhaps* your issue have more relationship with this chain of nonsense than with the bug i reported.

😁

#tldr

i guess we talk about different root technical issues.

@captainepoch @a1ba

... continuing from my previous #verbose "hemorrhage" 🤣

what made you guys shift from one to another?

in other words:

what made you @a1ba pass on the torch to @captainepoch ?

and what made you captain to take it?

if i can find the answer to this in some previous post of your choice, please, just link it to me! 🥰
2022-04-25
@captainepoch @a1ba sorry for not using your preferred channel and reporting on an older version. and thanks for your amazing response, captain!

allow me to get #verbose now...

i did read most of what you repeated here even before you sent it, but i had a mostly #offgadgets day, sunday driving through the mountains with a few local friends and mainly a loving partner. in other words, important distractions from work. so i didn't answer as fast or carefully as i usually do. 😁

now i also usually do too much verbose unedited content, such as this post... please, let me know if you find it too much and i'll edit out!

first question

+ why do you prefer mailing lists or even private email (for bug reports) over the fediverse or, even more intriguing, over sr.ht issue tracker?!

really curious to know.

big messy paragraph follows...

i will send you the reports over email if you really prefer, but if there's one good old tech i could never adapt to i would call it mailing lists. and, today, with my #mobileonly life, it became even harder to. the stupid width limitation on sr.ht, for instance, illustrates very well this problem: feels like no other dev in the world, beyond myself, use no physical keyboard! here i just give you my reasons why i will probably choose private email for bug reports only due to technical constraints in our communication... because i vow for building a completely #transparentlife which i happened to call also a #publiclife. i hate the privacy bubble with the bottom of my heart.

second question (and last one for now, to keep this shorter)

~i think~ i will ask it in a new post...
