I need sieve scripting for my mastodon lists. Tools I have are not enough

That would be kinda cursed, *and* will contribute to the «activitypub is basically socials over email»

I recently took one of my girlfriends out to dinner at a fancy restaurant. We were seated, and started looking over the menus.

I watched a waiter stop at two tables of older, white, cis-het-looking couples, both times standing attentively, asking if they needed anything, and generally looking like a waiter in a fancy restaurant.

Then he saw the two of us sitting there, holding hands.

He quickly made a beeline towards our table and, as he got near, his hands went up from his sides as a big smile broke across his face. He proceeded to chat happily with us for a moment before taking our order and bustling off.

My girlfriend says "our waiter is gay", and I say "watch him at the next table".

Sure enough. He passes a larger table and immediately goes back to his subdued, waiterly demeanor.

I love it when queer folx spot other queer folx and the masks come off. He seemed genuinely pleased every time he stopped by our table (which was frequently) 😊

Suggested New GNOME Bug Report Wording, or We’re GNOME and You’re Not.

GNOME Version 48:

Please stop filing bug reports. This is our desktop. We designed it, we built it, and we know what you actually want better than you do. If there are some features you think might be missing, if the desktop isn’t quite as effective as you imagine it could be, GOOD. That means you’re finally getting it. See Figure 1.

            !            -            !

                  Figure 1.

Forget about your silly workflow. Let’s take a look at some of the wonderful design decisions of the GNOME desktop.

1. Customisation. We removed most of it. Users don’t know what they want anyway. Every preference you don’t have is one less preference you can set incorrectly. If you somehow discover dconf, that’s your own fault. See Figure 1.
2. Desktop Icons. Gone. They encourage attachment to files, which distracts from the beauty of empty whitespace. If you require desktop icons for your workflow, your workflow is invalid. See Figure 1.
3. Menus. Menus contain too many choices. Choices make users unhappy. Therefore we replaced them with a single button containing three dots. If the option you need isn’t behind the three dots, that’s because you shouldn’t be doing it. See Figure 1.
4. System Tray Icons. We deleted those too. Applications should not be running in the background. If they are, they should stop. If they insist on existing, they can minimise into your imagination. See Figure 1.
5. Title Bars. Wasteful. We merged them with the toolbar to save precious vertical pixels so you can admire more empty margins. If your application now has three rows of buttons instead of two, that’s an application problem, not ours. We talked to our HIG designers, and they think like we do: See Figure 1.
6. Themes. We made the one theme. It’s perfect. Applications are expected to resemble each other. If yours doesn’t, that’s because the application developer made poor life choices. If you install a custom theme and it breaks something, congratulations, you’ve voided your warranty. We told theme authors to see Figure 1 a long time ago.
7. Extensions. We support extensions. Right up until the next release, at which point they explode. This encourages extension authors to remain engaged with the community. We told extension authors to see Figure 1 too.
8. Workflow. If your existing workflow no longer functions after an update, that’s because it wasn’t the correct workflow. The new workflow has fewer clicks once you’ve completely retrained your muscle memory. If you need your workflow to work, see Figure 1.
9. Buttons. We removed the minimise button because nobody uses it. We know this because we asked ourselves. We also removed the maximise button because windows should not become too excited. If you really need either button, you clearly require spiritual guidance. See Figure 1.
10. Preferences. We moved them. Then we renamed them. Then we merged them into another dialogue. Finally we removed them because the correct value was obvious. If you need to change a setting, see Figure 1.
11. Bug Reports. Before filing one, please ask yourself whether the problem is actually your expectations. Nine times out of ten, it is. The remaining case is an enhancement request, which is already WONTFIX. Our bug triage people think like we do: see Figure 1.

In conclusion, your desktop is now simpler, cleaner, and more opinionated than before. If this prevents you from getting work done, perhaps your work was unnecessarily complicated. Love GNOME or install KDE, but please stop asking for minimise buttons.

Note to self: never, ever try dealing with not installed python packages

Create venv in /tmp, install without deps, and read metadata/source from site-packages

Overkill? In case of python — no.

well, I sorta hacked it with pip & grep via subprocess.run

slow as fuck, but at least I don't have to manually parse 5 different formats

and our repo is small anyways

There's several completely incompatible formats, and zero official tooling to deal with that

except pip, but it works only for cli

LMAO, even half-done stub in stdlib uses regular expressions

after three different full featured xml parsers in module next to, this feels like an insult

https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/3.14/Lib/html/parser.py

and, the most convenient way to parse such amazing markup with python stdlib, is regular expressions. Because xml parsers can't do html, and included html.parser is only half-done

....yes, they invented a JSON version, but it's not supported by our version of internal registry, and updating it will take somewhere between two hours and half year

Every time I have to deal with python packaging I hate it even more than before

Like, sure, serialising your API as HTML5 is totally fine and not unspeakably cursed way to do it
