A podcast on computers and culture. By Sadiq Saif and Cristian Colocho.

I do not remember who suggested this podcast but, whomever you are — Thank you! I tech podcast I don’t mind listening to!

@Gabz I started listening to this and it’s really good! It’s a really great show. @eli recommended it on his blog a week or so ago.

@vincent @eli yes! You’re right!! I like it a lot it’s more enjoyable.

@Gabz @vincent -- glad you all are liking it, they're both really active on Mastodon, too.

@eli @vincent I need to get back into mastodon, I havent used it ina long time. So much so that I feel like I need to relearn everything. What are the (is it instanses?) that everyone is using these days?

@Gabz I use a very non-standard instance. There is a new feature that makes it really easy to hop instances, now, though -- you can automatically bring followers with you, so I don't think it matters as much these days.

I've noticed that mastodon.social is blocked by a lot of folks these days. I think it just got too big. I really like the <pinafore.social> web client for mastodon.

@eli I see! I think that's where i signed into when i setted up Mastodon, mastodon.social. I thinbk what I always had a hard time wrapping around my head was the whole. You know it not like twitter that you can find everyone and anybody and follow them, here we all need to be on the same instance, unless that has changed too.

@Gabz the network is a lot more reminiscent of email in shape -- it reminds me a bit of usenet (in theory...I never used it!?) -- you can connect with everyone on your instance easy peasy, and you can connect with anyone on an instance that is federated (connected to) with your instance. Some instances aren't connected to many others, most are connected to the primary spine oh the nextwork, though. I'm currently lurking at lazer.pizza/@eli\_oat

@Gabz -- m.b can't seem to parse that link [lazer.pizza/@eli\_oat](https://lazer.pizza/@eli\_oat) trying it that way? ...if not, it is in the footer of my website :P

eli.li

@eli I need to play around moore, I think I am around as Gabytron

@Gabz found ya!

@eli file that under a bug report for Gluon. Crashes the app when I press the eli_oat link.

@vincent you n00b! 🙄

@simonwoods nah, looks like I’m not handling that link nicely and then it just goes 💥

@simonwoods I just wanna be able to escape a link with back tics alas... been an issue since day 1.

@simonwoods @eli @vincent Links do work in replies, but there's a separate bug where Micro.blog tries to auto-link URLs even if they have been escaped as a code block, which is what I think happened here.

@manton Ah! Sorry. This is what I get for taking a break from tracking stuff. 😅

@vincent The error message should be just that emoji. In the middle of the screen.

@eli I was building up the exact conditions for issues with links in replies... in my head. Turns out™ "my head" is not a reliable place for storage.

@simonwoods don’t give @vincent ideas!!!
