@wth @Spyros We need one universal graphical tool kit that works everywhere!

GTK: Hi, I heard you're looking fo—
Me: NOT YOU

@snowe It's got its quirks. For example, if I am replying to someone who's not on programming.dev then I have to make sure to tag @programming (or another account on the instance) in order for my post to still federate to your server, otherwise only the person I'm replying to would see my reply and it wouldn't show in comments.

I did discover that adding the tag as a trailing reply to a missing comment thread will cause the entire reply chain to federate, so that's neat.

@snowe a very common reason with Google products, I've found; up to and including not wanting to provide that product anymore.

@snowe@programming.dev screw it, let's try HTML. [🖼 medias.meow.social/mediaattac…]

@snowe if not, I'll try markdown:

@snowe not sure if this image attachment is going to federate correctly from Mastodon to Lemmy

@snowe Typing the character. With GBoard it's switch to numbers+symbols then press and hold a number (in this case 1) to access fractions and superscripts.

@snowe @themoonisacheese I can type ¹ on a smartphone pretty easily

@rmam Wow, this looks a bit broken on Mastodon… but it's still clickable.

Hi @rikudou, your bot incorrectly flags for Mastodon users. I have to tag the community in my post, or it won't federate. And Mastodon tags seem to look like URLs to the bot.

@programming

@triarius Careful, the furries will hear you and show up in the thread.

@Zikeji It's possible for TLDs to have A records, and for a while there were a few that did. But ICANN forbids top level A records, and I wouldn't be surprised if they forbid top level MX records as well.

Anyway, you would literally enter the address as "email@com." including the trailing dot, which represents the DNS root that contains all the TLDs. You can also think of the trailing dot as an indicator of a FQDN (instead of a hostname within your local search domain).

I am of the opinion that regex for email address is a bad idea. The only two things that you need to check an email address are:

Does the address contain an @ symbol?
Is there a dot to the right of the @ symbol?

Then just try to deliver to it, and let the MTA do the rest.

Email addresses can be complicated, and there's plenty of valid addresses that can be excluded by attempts at regex validation.

@customsituation @yoavlavi

@wordsnumber @Sibbo that was one hell of an opening sentence to misread.

@varsock yep! Turns out I could just follow @programming and it boosts every post and comment onto my timeline.

Though my instance doesn't support markdown, so I don't get to see any formatting unless I look at the original thread (maybe @Tiwy57 will upgrade us from Mastodon to Glitch-soc someday so we can have that?)

@varsock Wait until you find out that I'm reading and replying to this on Mastodon.

@vampatori

In what way? Python has type hinting, but it's purely for linting and is not enforced at runtime. Python has always had dynamic duck typing.

@theherk @programming

I already said that
