@halcy kinda messes with the point of a versioned API.

@halcy Mastodon.py is indeed a nice layer. I’m just crabby because my syndication script that posts blog links here broke again last year. I haven’t bothered to fix it, since it’s the third or fourth time since 2019. Maybe I’ll fix it again this year?

@halcy It does, and to be perfectly honest the problem is probably that I accidentally dropped something from my .env file in my many OS reinstallations. I’ll check the automated posting part of that code and get back to you!

@halcy (blaming the Mastodon API is way easier than taking personal responsibility but I’ll do it if I have to)

Been seeing a resurgence of mustaches in modern techbros and I finally figured out why it bothered me: that tidy little regulation ‘stach reminds me of the creepy cops who would hit on my mom in the 1970s.

The association is strong enough I can’t even watch your YouTube video without those neatly trimmed lip hairs making my brain scream “COP”
better go back to your podcast dude

@halcy Yeah it’s something wrong with my code, not mastodon.py. A simple mastodon.status_post() worked just fine.

@shadowspar I think this is my first washcloth! Hats and socks were my travel go-to in the past, and probably will be again. I gave away most of my knitted and crochet hats. Need to build my stock back up!

Brain’s sparking back onto the old list of good questions to ask employers during an interview.
and new contender: what are your company’s plans for incorporating LLMs such as ChatGPT into your services?
Right answer for me is closer to “ha ha no seriously no” but I at least want an indication of caution about bandwagon jumping.
These questions probably will end some prospects but OTOH misery is always more expensive in the long run so bullet dodged there

There’s also questions about inclusiveness but you can often get the answers by the web site “meet our board / execs / team” pics and by who’s interviewing you in the first place.
