Been having fun converting the logic of my Python code to Go, but now comes couple time and that preempts all, even hyperfocus.

2025-10-05: was talking about Markdown support in Mastodon fork Glitch, and issues with most Mastodon client apps

@alex @rafial the list bullets are my biggest frustration. My pinned post is a right mess because of it.

Trunks renders it though, so it looks like I’ve got a new mobile client.

@seatek yep, and the current state of the art treatment for tinnitus is — meditation and mindfulness.

hackers.town uses Glitch.soc, which supports Markdown, which up to now didn’t render correctly in any mobile client I tried.

But looks like @trunksapp does it right. Huzzah!

Not for the first time and almost definitely not for the last, I’m doing a text processing task and thinking I should use Perl instead of the not-Perl I have selected.

I knew bits and pieces about The Warriors being connected to actual gang life and incidents of the 70s, but this ties it together well and adds stuff new to me.

There’s even footage of Black Benji, the real-life counterpart to Cyrus, who was killed in 1971 while negotiating peace between gangs. That led to block parties for truces, which helped out hip-hop.
