@darius magical, even! Even the cable person and city utility folks showed up on time!

@darius I dunno, there's a big lack of "Don't dream it, be it!" energy (or something else that should be printed on a pillow) for this to be a LinkedIn post. 😬

@darius hmm, yeah, that's absent on web.

@darius I cover it briefly in my article on unix tools, I mainly use it when I need to pass arguments around to multiple calls but am too lazy to write a full shell script for capturing output: https://billhunt.dev/blog/2015/05/10/unix-tools/

@darius Okay so I've got *two* projects this weekend then. :) (Also thanks for all that you do!)

@darius strong agreement

@darius I look forward to the inevitable KDrama adaptation! Just to get ahead of it, I think you should push for Kim Seon-ho to play you.

@darius Yeah! I live just south of it, only a couple of metro stops down!

@darius Thanks! I am always amazed at how you are already three steps ahead of the game. I appreciate that about you!

@darius @christa thanks!

The issue is that pinning doesn’t actually raise attention, it only shows up if folks go to your profile (which your followers probably don’t do very often). This is more a discovery problem than anything.

@darius Yes please! <3

@darius Thanks! Hmm, I can't figure out how to follow hashtags in other views... but moreover the second part is a big issue - I think these should just appear like other lists. I'll do some poking at code this weekend...

It really doesn't matter if Mastodon adds better abuse controls because ActivityPub is literally structured in a way that makes abuse easy. A popular account can DDoS itself just by existing. We should be figuring out the next thing, not wasting time on something that's inherently broken.

@darius congrats! I always enjoyed my time collaborating with them!

@darius @christa Long live the new flesh?

@darius @b_cavello @admin thanks!!
