Friendly fediverse reminder that accidents happen no matter how hard we try to avoid them, so occasionally back up your follow/block/mute lists, and/or your post archive if you'd be sad to lose them.
Made a little Python library to interact with at(1) on UNIX

Wow, FileZilla’s bundled installer includes a malware downloader and the dev defends it horribly.
If using FileZilla, uninstall and find something else. Even if this issue is fixed, the morally ambiguous and defensive response is very concerning.
@CoralineAda the line might look really long but it goes super fast and they usually serve glasses of wine for 2 euros for the people waiting.
Seriously, it's the best place.
@CoralineAda you should go to Bouillon Chartier! The best restaurant in Paris (super cheap + authentic). You need to know how to order food in French though (the wait staff doesn't really speak english).

Working on PeerTube federation support! Mastodon & Pleroma support is pretty much finished (had to simulate remote follow since this is a localhost instance)

@gwenn I got a file I can only use with Signal. I want a plain-text export in like XML or TXT or even JSON.
I would like to keep my instant messages around forever. That's really my use case -- I want to back up my information and conversations.
Non-poppable bubble wrap is a travesty.
I'm working on an ActivityPub guide website for coders & non-coders! It's something I wish existed before I started pixelfed.
#Discord re-set this flag automatically during the last update. If you don't want it scanning your computer and uploading that info to their servers, check your privacy settings.
This is awful.
sure, I could! I was just a little disappointed I couldn't have it on scholar.social because the bot content is geared towards academics
@zash there are a lot of moving parts for me/the threshold of tech knowledge is high
it's also more for 1-1 chats right?
@gwenn ah there is a search in signal!!! that must have just come out. WOW! I will try the new backup. God I hope they fixed this.
@zigg zomgggg I want to see this so bad!!!
ah, no bots allowed on scholar.social. I was thinking of making a bot on mastodon to mirror my bot on Twitter, which tweets out reproducibility-related resources.
On birdsite it's @ReproFeed - https://twitter.com/reprofeed
Is there another like, academic/scholarly related instance out there where a bot might be welcome?
@PifyZ I am 80% sure none of these have all 4 criteria, based on my searching! Happy to be proven wrong, but I know 100% that Singal doesn't, gitter doesn't, most stable XMPP implementations don't, and Riot (matrix imp) doesn't.
