Just ran into some #Mormon missionaries in the wild. It's always interesting when they try to strike up a conversation with me.
[...small talk...]
Missionary: So, do you know much about our church?
Me: Yeah, I actually had my records removed back in 2019.
[awkward scilence followed by an abrupt change of subject]
I know I'm late to the #Friendica channels party, but the "Quiet Sharers" channel is really quite nice. It only shows posts from accounts you follow that aren't frequent posters, helping you to find stiff you might otherwise miss.
This is how to do an algorithmic feed* right.
* Yes, I know that sorting posts chronologically is technically an algorithmic feed.
So, I like to set filters that automatically collapse certain posts that I may or may not have the mental bandwidth to engage with at any given time. Friendica lets me do this by regex, but some of them are kinda ugly
Take my Elon filter for instance. I could filter on /elon/i, but that would falsely trigger on common words like 'melon' or 'belong'. I finally settled on /^(.*[^a-z])?elon([^a-z].*)?$/i, but that feels overly complicated. Is there a better solution?
Edit: proofreading is for suckers.

S3 E3 How Universities Protect Perpetrators and Betray Survivors of Sexual Violence
Another episode, another week of expert interviews. This time, I sit down with Nicole Bedera to talk about her research on sexual violence within universities.Spreaker
Oh hang on, it gets better.
Apparently signing into the app on my phone using biometrics seems to bypass 2FA. 🤦♂️
My bank required me to set up 2FA. Via SMS. Only method available! So I did, but I wrote to an old friend (who happens to be their chief data architect) explaining why SMS was not the way to go. She spoke to somebody, and sure enough they soon grew the ability to use an authenticator TOTP in addition to SMS. Only issue now is: NO WAY to remove SMS as a valid method.
At least it doesn't reject a GVoice number, which is way safer than a real SIM-based phone in the wild.

I will not comment in that thread. I will not feed that troll.

@R. L. Dane :debian: :openbsd: I really don't want to look it up again.
The gist of it was that neurodiverse people should stay hidden and avoid drawing attention to themselves because there are bad people out there who would do them harm.
They seemed genuinely surprised that people took offense to this.
Does #Haskell's microlens-platform really not have a function of type Int -> Lens' [a] a?
That seems an odd omission.

So my local big box store has been selling a brand of chips that I haven't seen since the 80s. They're definitely playing on people's nostalgia, and I'll be damned if it hasn't worked on me every single time.
Edit: accidentally duplicated a word
Also the quoting rules vary, line & row limits, space trimming, how decimals are represented, header or no header…
There's an RFC but I expect more non-conformant files than conformant.
I'm now on so many meds with such complicated rules about when and how to take them that working out a medication schedule kind of feels like solvong the wolf, goat, cabbage problem.
I guess that's just what it's like to get old.

Argh! Why is @Nextcloud 📱☁️💻 not telling me that there's a new version out? I'm on 29 and it's telling me it's up to date.
Maybe it's a PHP thing because I'm still on 8.2.20, but that should be supported.

So it looks like I'm tied to Android for the time being (unless I want to go to iOS). Otherwise, I can't fully access my bank accounts.
Time to go yell at my bank.
Without fail, every time I boost a post about discrimination on the fedi, I end up seeing a bunch of white guys trying trying to minimize it and telling the original poster why they're wrong and/or being unreasonable.
I'm getting the impression that just maybe the people complaining about this aren't making it up or something.
Weird, right?

Ooh, I can become an "AWS Certified AI Practitioner", because maybe if we throw enough meaningless words together people won't realize it's all bullshit.
I mean, why not? It works for the AI models themselves, right?

It depends on the implementation but Perl-style has '\b' to (zero-width) match a word boundary and GNU-style has '\<' and '\>' to (zero-width) match a word start and end.
A "word start" is a non-word character (e.g. whitespace) followed by a word character (e.g. a letter). A "word end" is the reverse. A "word boundary" is either.
HTH.
