if you are wondering where i went

im @tebicat having fun on a new instance
https://fedi.9til.de/@binarycat/109514286826241990




how have i never realized how weird the spelling of "patient" is.

on top of "t" somehow making "sh" sounds, all the vowels are making the wrong noises.

how does this end up as "pay shunt"

"oh i this should be a trivial thing to extract with xpath"

...

hmm, it gave me slightly more than i wanted, i could fiddle about trying to make the query work right... or i could just pipe it through sed...

apperently google search blocks the curl user agent with a 403 forbidden error.

you know. the user agent, the thing everything is lying about all the time.

see, the reason why i like the id attribute is it makes it really easy to scrape data off of websites.

also url fragments are cool

Content warning: unix tip
if you ever need to evaluate xpath in a script, xmllint can do it and is pre-installed on most systems

it can even do html parsing!

Content warning: people love tall girls
things i hear (paraphrased)

* wow, you're tall, i'm already dating someone tho
* (immediately after) i'm not, want to go to a thing tomorrow?

Content warning: fedi meta, instance configuration
imo you should really make the local timeline of your instance visible

1. because it lets people preview it to see if they want to join
2. it lets admins tell if they need to block your instance, without this there can be no easy way to differentiate a single rouge account with an explicitly fascist instance

well, muted domains have doubled, guess transphobes really don't like if you tell them they should transition, even as a joke..

Content warning: trans
reading fiction: huh, this seems like an improbable amount of trans characters

running into a childhood friend, both of us having transitioned since we last saw each other, also her brother is trans: huh

Content warning: hot take: overriding display names
being able to override your friends display name on your phone is good for trans people actually.

that way you don't have to see your friends deaname in your contacts list every time if they aren't out yet.

Content warning: trans tip
remember: most people's perception of gender is very shallow.

i literally pass or not basically just by weather i'm wearing a purse or dress.

Content warning: fedi meta kinda
there should be a way to see how your posts are getting to a certain instance.

would be really nice to know how actual nazis are finding my posts

me about defederating: idk, we should probably do some due diligence and make sure the instance is actually at fault

me muting instances for myself: RIP AND TEAR UNTIL IT IS DONE
https://fedi.9til.de/@binarycat/109498513528970612


the only thing i want to be able to edit about posts is the ability to change post visibility.

j'd really like to be able to say "that's enough boosts" and make a post followers only

the problem with being a stateless protocol is it is the inability to get a passport.

Content warning: media is weird sometimes, male gaze
oh no, we made most of our charachters female to appeal to a straight male audience, but now how do we write character interactions??

oh i know, lesbians!

this is the funniest way to end up with representation imo
