Title generation and quote posts
renchap@oisaur.com 044f specifies the use of a link to the quoted post as fallback, hidden behind .quote-inline.
Right now Mastodon puts this top of post, and this interferes with title generation logic on NodeBB. Essentially the URL becomes the title, which is not ideal.
Any chance the class name could be upgraded to a MUST so I can code against it? Potentially other implementors could use different class names.

Zelensky condemns 'vile' Russian strikes lasting 12 hours
A Russian aerial bombardment that lasted more than 12 hours has killed at least four people and injured at least 70 others in Ukraine.
President Volodymyr Zelensky said the deaths all occurred in the capital, Kyiv, where many of the projectiles were aimed, and the victims included a 12-year-old girl.
The barrage - involving nearly 600 drones and several dozen missiles aimed at seven regions of Ukraine - is one of the heaviest in recent months.
Zelensky warned that Ukraine would retaliate and said the "vile" attack showed Moscow "wants to continue fighting and killing". Russia said it struck military facilities and industrial enterprises supporting Ukraine's armed forces.
Kyiv hit by 'massive' Russian attack, mayor says
As well as intensifying attacks against Ukraine, Russia is also accused of violating the airspace of several Nato countries.Chris Graham (BBC News)

Need text editor advice
I am a big fan of Notepad++ in windows and I have been using Notepadqq, a linux clone. Lately though, I have been experiencing more and more crashes and bugs with it. Looking for advice and wisdom. Is there something better? Should I stick it out and try and troubleshoot my problems with Notepadqq?
Edit: Just wanted to thank everyone for all the great advice! I know people can sometimes be territorial and/or religious about their choices here, but people in this thread were helpful and informative, so thank you!
I am trying out Notepad Next but I also installed Notepad++ with Wine. Both seem promising, thanks.
like this
I also used Notepadqq for the first year I used Linux, I ended up switching to Kate since it did everything I liked about Notepad++ and it came installed with my KDE desktop soooo.
Also for the few times I gotta use a terminal text editor I use Micro (It really should be the default instead of Nano)
Helix, Kakoune, build Codium from source would be my suggestions.
I use Helix now mainly - I use Codium if I need a graphical editor for something, or one of it's plugins.
At work the systems use VSCode but I use the Dance plugin with Helix bindings to get some of that functionality back.
A 160-year-old campaign against civil rights heads to the supreme court
What did Reconstruction do for us, anyway?
Because the executive and legislature branches seem to have jumped the constitutional shark, some people continue to hold out hope that the judicial branch, with the supreme court at its apex, will offer a way out of this mess. That would be a mistake: like Congress, the Republican majority on the supreme court has lined up behind most of the president’s sweeping assertions of novel powers. The supreme court has blocked lower federal court rulings that had reined in the president’s authority to withhold federal medical research grants for ideological reasons. It has allowed the executive branch to deploy roving immigration patrols to engage in racial profiling; to expel noncitizens to countries on the brink of civil wars where they could face torture, trafficking or death; to fire non-regime friendly officials (in violation of federal law); to dismantle entire departments and more.But one specific case on the court’s docket for this term illustrates its role in a more far-reaching rightwing project that goes back all the way to the end of the civil war.
Louisiana v Callais is a major challenge to what remains of the Voting Rights of Act of 1965, and could radically rework the structure of political representation in the United States. A successful challenge to the VRA would allow the Republican party to further cheat democracy by engaging in even more partisan gerrymandering and erasing several legislative districts held by Democratic officials, many of whom are racial minorities.
Remember to call your rep... oh, right.

aggregocttica moria senza soluzioni più spumose (l’Aggregoctt è morto e a fatica trovo alternative)
Settimane fa, o qualcosa del genere, mi era passato di mente il dover segnalare che l’Aggregoctt è fallito. Nel senso, funziona ancora — abbastanza a magia tra l’altro, devo dire, perché è assurdo che non si sia ancora rotto… cioè, in realtà è successo già tipo 2 volte, ma ogni volta ho potuto aggiustarlo senza fare cambiamenti radicali, il che è sorprendente — ma il problema è che, per come l’ho fatto, con questa roba del sito statico che deve compilarsi a partire da infiniti file HTML (ormai credo diverse centinaia di migliaia, al punto che GitHub si rifiuta di indicizzare la repo), prima o poi raggiungerà per forza un tetto pratico… e a quel punto fallirà davvero. 🥴Certo, potrei implementare la purga periodica di post vecchi, ma io che sono un’accumulatrice seriale mi sentirei proprio male… e poi, questa non è l’unica rogna. Infatti, per giunta, per quanto sia figo che funzioni interamente senza un server di hosting dinamico, aggiornandosi in automatico solo grazie alla CI gratuita di GitHub, un bel problemino che ho visto è che certi feed non si aggiornano lì sopra, perché il sito sfigato di turno sarà stato settato a minchia, con una protezione bot che blocca gli IP non-domestici pure per le richieste del feed… quindi, quella manciata di siti particolari non si aggiorna mai. 💔
Temo allora che la mia paura iniziale, cioè che l’Aggregoctt fatto con Jekyll e uno script Python vibe-codato rischiasse di essere solo un ripiego, si è confermata. In realtà, per chi è a posto con queste limitazioni, il template costruito fino ad ora rimane alquanto valido, e ancora consiglierei di forkarlo a chiunque vorrebbe farsi il proprio sito aggregatore (inserendo i propri URL nel file della lista) senza un server e senza grossi smanettamenti (anche se forse, per evitare che qualcuno si trovi in sorprendenti difficoltà, farei bene ad implementare quella maledetta purga, oltre a maggiori ottimizzazioni per il caricamento dei dati)… però io, avendo il serverino, potrei permettermi di più. 🙄
Problema: non c’è niente di ideale già fatto (altrimenti non avrei certamente speso tempo a creare l’Aggregoctt, avrei direttamente preso quel qualcosa e tanti saluti)… quindi dovrò vedere di fare io qualcosa e bla bla bla, mannaggia al mio tempo che scompare. Però, giusto per non cadere nella più totale disperazione (e in parte anche per assimilare passivamente idee di design simili alle mie ma lievemente diverse, per questo specifico tipo di applicazione), da qualche giorno sto provando un aggregatore trovato cercando nelle liste più improbabili di top aggregatori di feed selfhostabili: RSS. Si, il creatore — che stranamente non è uno scappato di casa, bensì è lo stesso che ha creato BookStack — lo ha veramente chiamato solo “RSS”, con la scusa che è un progetto a bassa manutenzione e creato principalmente per uso personale… vergognoso, ma lasciamo stare. 😕
Oh, sembrava bellino, e dopo averlo provato devo confermare che effettivamente lo è… ma allo stesso tempo ho percepito una puzza, quindi per ora l’ho messo sul mio classico dominio usa-e-ricicla di ; non si merita (per ora?) un dominio permanente. È simpatico, perché non ha login o permessi, e quindi replica bene la filosofia del primo Aggregoctt per cui il lettore personale funge anche da blogroll (cioè, una cosa del decennio scorso attraverso cui chi segue me può scoprire altre persone da seguire, potendo banalmente vedere una lista di chi seguo io… o, in certi casi non “seguo“, bensì “tengo d’occhio“, lieve differenza), e l’interfaccia è pulita e funzionale. Purtroppo è anche antipatico, visto che per funzionare richiede JavaScript moderno (zio pera, è una maledizione con tutti ‘sti cosi web), e quindi non si può usare sul Kindle (o anche, in generale dispositivi utili da riciclare per leggere, che però hanno browser web antichi); ma non ha neanche la modalità di lettura integrata, quindi comunque su Kindle e compagnia sarebbe un incubo da usare. (Ah e, edit: ho dimenticato di dirlo, la gestione di errori in questo coso è inesistente, e alcuni feed misteriosamente non caricano.) 😴Vabbè, alla fine il bilancio netto è comunque positivo, perché ora nel mondo esistono tecnicamente ben 2 Aggregoctti, e se non riesco a fare pace con tutto ciò prima o poi ne dovrà uscirà pure un terzo (e speriamo non di più, perché sennò veramente sarebbe la fine… cioè, la tragedia della mancanza di una fine, l’eterno ritorno dell’Aggregoctt)… Il fatto è che, a parte funzionalità improbabili che ora nemmeno vorrei ri-descrivere ma che sarebbe figo implementare, di piccole cose da poter fare per avere un’esperienza davvero epica ce ne sono a bizzeffe… come un’ottimizzazione per i feed dei social in modo che i post si vedano meglio rispetto agli articoli di blog classici, o un’ottimizzazione per i feed di YouTube per cui viene mostrato automaticamente l’embed per i video… ed è tutta roba semplice, ma, avendo il primo Aggregoctt le difficoltà che ho detto, più che spendere tempo a metterle lì farei bene a creare questa v3. (Aiutatemi!!!) 😽

[SOLVED] I cannot add flatpaks as user, what am I doing wrong?
SOLUTION: add Flathub as a user remote too:
flatpak remote-add --user --if-not-exists flathub https://dl.flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo
flatpak lets you install applications as user vs system. I want to install as user because my .var is full.
example: flatpak install --user org.fcitx.Fcitx5 returns error: No remote refs found for ‘org.fcitx.Fcitx5’
flatpak remotes returns flathub system
I'm logged in as user5. whoami returns user5
I don't know what remote I have to add or if I have to add user5 as a remote
like this
I could be wrong but no remote refs refers to not finding a repo for what you are trying to install, so either the flathub repo isnt added which it sounds like it is, or the app you want isnt in that repo.
So you may need to add the repo for that app:

in reply to technocrit • • •It's kind of a given that people are going to try to get patents for stupid things they obviously shouldn't. It's the whole job of the patent office to decline such requests. If people only ever applied for good and reasonable patents, then approval could be automatic. It's not, only because they need to filter out the bad ones.
The real problem here is that the patent was granted. It seems dumb to apply for it. But how dumb is it, if applications like this actually get approved?
