installing nextcloud (via docker) was much easier than we expected! let's hope we won't forget to maintain it though

(the previous nextcloud install completely broke because we didn't read the documentation and updated two major versions ahead at once. woops)

@whiskahs i see nothing wrong here, there can't be any bugs if there isn't any code to begin with!

just restarted a project for the like, fourth time because we keep trying out different frontend libraries
really hope we'll stick with it because i'm getting kinda tired of rewriting the backend, lmao
(but at least we get to apply everything we learned in the four-ish months since we started the last iteration! it's not all bad)

@prehensile while it's not phishing, we *have* heard of spammers sending fake newsletters, with the "unsubscribe" link marking your email address as real and a target for more spam

(don't have a source for this, sadly, can't remember where i read it )

like, ah yes, the three main things i can do with a toot:
- crescent moon in box it
- boost it
- favourite it

(legit have no idea what the first icon is it's *supposed* to be the reply button though)

blocking remote fonts by default really makes you appreciate buttons with icons *and* text (even if it's just hover text)

@AutumnMeowMeow i wouldn't exactly call this "good" code anyway, but yeah, it really is bullshit

i'm trying to work on a project we haven't touched in a while but... none of the code is commented and it's been 4 months

this is why you're supposed to comment code, huh? finding out the hard way

@m4ndrill this is really cool :O

@bluestarultor thank you! i think we'll like it here :3

guess we should do an #introduction huh

hi, we're the starshines! (our collective name, and the one we'll use here, is sam)
we're plural--if you don't know what that is, check out https://morethanone.info/! it explains it better than we ever could

we mostly program in go, and sometimes try (and fail) to use dart/flutter and javascript
we're also chronic distro hoppers (please send help)

not actually migrating from twitter, we just got reminded mastodon exists because of it :3
