Unas semanas bien pesadas, pero con cosas interesantes que he probado en el trabajo.
- #polars : Definitivamente mi herramienta para dataframes por defecto, después de habituarse a las formas nativas esto es muy claro y eficiente.
- Depurador de #zed: Aunque no he podido lograr que funcione la forma de anexar un proceso en ejecución, el modo de lanzar proceso resulta muy directo, y la interfaz para explorar las variables y la consola de interacción integrada funcionan muy bien

Hello #MastoAdmins and #MastoDevs

Let's say my database was thoroughly hosed.

If I was to export my profile, nuke my current instance and stand it back up on the same domain and import my profile again, would that work?

Or is the instance backing domain changing likely to cause weird side-effects talking to the other servers?

I was going to post this under @botwiki, but polls on that server are limited to only 4 options (can you imagine?), so let me ask here:

Which social media APIs do you use the most for development nowadays? (Not as a user, please see reply for the distinction.)

I've said it before, I'll say it again, but here I am saying it right now: Mastodon 4.2's new search is absofuckinglutely wonderful to have. Total game-changer.

I've previously spent hours scrolling through history trying to find specific toots. I can now find those in seconds, and just did (see: toot.cat/@dredmorbius/11116245).

Thanks, @Gargron & #MastoDevs

Hello #Mastodevs !!!

Here's a screenshot of the prototype I'm currently working with Unity.

The idea is to make a JRPG kind of game, the same I posted before that I was using #ChatGPT to help develop the characters for the game. So far this is how it looks. The models are from Persona 4 Dancing, and the environment is done with @kenney Retro Urban Pack.

Wish me luck with this new project, as I need it a lot! 😊

Continued thread

I just had the chance to try the new "edit" feature of the Mastodon web client.

Fantastic. I was able to correct a typo, just a little thing, but one I had missed with the original posting.

No notifications disappeared.
I didn't need to apologize to the kind people who react to my stuff.

Thank you #MastoDevs

Supposedly, you can generate points by creating content, and you can then use those points to read otherwise paywalled news content.

Even after all that we've seen, I still like the idea of news+social media, because it could be a venue for public discourse about current events.

I'm not sure Post is it.

(I'd happily pay an Apple News-like subscription with shareability as a plugin for #Mastodon) #mastodevs

#mastodevs I have a status I want to post with the API that's 498 characters long. But when I try and post it, I get the following error: 'Mastodon API returned error', 422, 'Unprocessable Entity', 'Validation failed: Text character limit of 500 exceeded'

Any ideas? I'm using mastodon.py to post and shorter statuses work just fine.

It's another big news / disturbing news day.

I'm looking at a toot in which the name of a key individual is deliberately obscured. For the sake of those who filter by keywords, I strongly suggest not doing that.

As a reminder:

  • CWs hide payload, they also make viewing threads much more difficult, especially when explicitly opened to view in an unauthenticated session. This is a long-standing misfeature of Mastodon that I'd really appreciate @Gargron and #MastoDevs address. I generally though not always limit my use of CWs on account of this. I do include keywords and hashtags which can be filtered if at all possible.

  • Many Fediverse interfaces offer keyword filtering. You can drop topics and terms into your profile configuration, either permanently or on a temporary basis.

  • If someone begs off a discussion, let them be. My preferred response is simply to apologise and acknowledge, privately. "My apologies, dropped". If you attack in response, you're not a good person, just sayin'.

And as fair warning, I may have things to say on news events. If you'd prefer to mute or block me, that's your prerogative. That said, I think it's critically important that significant issues can be discussed publicly, with intelligence and respect.
