Regular expressions in Find & Replace, they're kind of like power tools. They can do amazing things, but if you aren't careful you can turn your document into an unintentional pile of modern art.
Speaking of! Hey there my name is Kodi and I'm an unpaid board member and volunteer at an amazing LGBT+ youth center in rural southern Illinois!
You can support us at gofundme.com/HelpRainbowcafe -- we also have a Square set up for monthly donations.
We are only open on Friday nights and we get anywhere between 30-40 youth ages 13-19 each week so support is needed as it's primarily how we stay open each week. We're the only youth center within 200+ miles&youth come from all over.
Thanks! 💖

@oneirofaerie Maybe "Would you like to go have coffee... as a date?"
Could work to avoid this weird is-this-a-date-or-not situations.
I feel you, I've been there so much. Good luck!
for all those interested in #rf, #wireless/#wifi and #mesh networking - not sure how this whole book ended up on archive.org or if it is even *supposed* to be there, but worth a download whilst it remains available - its a long read but covers the whole world's frequency allocations, protocols and also explains how and why FCC, Ofcom, ETSI and others regulate various types of RF #spectrum (including complex things like #dfs)
v2.1 of #Mastodon will have a "moderator" role with less permissions than the "admin" role that's currently present. It will also start logging all moderator/admin actions in an audit log!
In so far as APIs are concerned, it will also have lists (sort people you are following into different columns), I am still working on the UI for editing those though.
@beadsland Wow, this is becoming more like TV :( what a horrible idea.

Firefox comes integrated with Google services whether you know or not. Here is how you remove Google 'completely' from Firefox:

wondering if a fancy kind of aggregator for blog posts could be a viable alternative to Medium.
i know wordpress.com sort of does this. could be a great use of RSS?
i'm breaking down my conditioning that gaining reach & followers is the be all end all & thinking about how organic discovery has been lost.
Mastodon is rewiring me to think smaller again, which is lovely & good. what would a federated blogging software look like?
something guided by IndieWeb principles? http://altplatform.org/2017/07/28/an-introduction-to-the-indieweb/
can we standardize y'all as THE gender neutral replacement for "guys"
There is a lot of problems with requiring "professional manner" in a code of conduct. "professionalism" has been used against many marginalised groups, like camp men, women who don't wear heels, and black people with dreadlocks.

if you really want to fuck with your local data-marketing-analyst/scientist who tracks website data.
browse purely through translate.google.com - it will load pages entirely, your IP will still be visible, but it's a PAIN IN THE ARSE to work out what URLs you visited, how you got there, or what you did on site.

Not sure if serious or art project or a litte bit of both, but it's pretty cool in any case. :o
To expand, BGP peering also requires explicit configuration of peers in one's BGP speaking software to work whereas Mastodon out of the box federates with any server that can and wants to.
A while back I likened Mastodon federation to BGP peering but that only applies at a very shallow level.
BGP peerings are usually not automatic and are results of explicit agreements between two or more parties.
An instance using a whitelist would be more akin to the analogy I think.
