Programmer and Bayesian. I'm also currently /really/ into Rust (@rustlang). In a happy coincidence I'm doing all three things at reinfer.io.
"The Minimally-nice Open Source Software Maintainer." A wonderful bit of introspection from #rustlang's Brian Anderson:
The real value add of Mastodon is giving everyone an excuse to finally put something on all the weird domains they've been squatting
Some people complained about having .rs domains blocked and therefore https://docs.rs inaccessible.
So I bought http://docs-rs.com and set up an html rewriting nginx proxy on it.
It is shocking to me that I was able that in 10mins. We've come a long way in the last decade.
It's kinda weird to think about a social network where businesses own their own presences, rather than relying on a capricious third party service like Twitter or Facebook. Imagine NBC or The Verge running a Mastodon instance for their reporters to toot from, or Bethesda operating an instance for PR and customer support. No more lost business when Facebook changes their algorithms again because they need more money from boosted posts.
Weird, right?
. @Gankro ah great idea! I can bug here about my RFC too. THERE IS NO ESCAPE
Looking forward to news anchors saying "Today, Donald Trump tooted..."
@glinner hmm no android app is annoying :(
