Yale professor: Biden's economy most successful since FDR's New Deal
  • Which countries that locked down hard suffered a smaller economic impact?

  • You seem to be stating if the US response had been 2-4 week strict lockdowns that we would have eradicated COVID.

    I am telling you no, it wouldn't have prevented much unless every single human being on the planet was also in lockdown for the exact same 2-4 week period.

  • No. You would have had to keep every citizen from every country inside for 2-4 weeks and enforce incredibly strict N95/KN95-only mask policies. If you have a single city not doing zero-COVID in this scenario, you lose containment.

  • Current state of r/place
  • Finding the right time for r/place to return proved to be a challenge – but hey, what better time to offer a blank canvas to our communities than when our users and mods are at their most passionate… right?

    This is the most blatantly obvious "please boost our subscriber numbers" statement I've ever seen without directly calling for it.

  • Quick script to change Mastodon Docker deployment character limits
  • Oh I know my workaround is probably the worst possible correct answer for how to do this. Thanks for that, I'll give it a shot!

  • Quick script to change Mastodon Docker deployment character limits

    Howdy folks!

    I spun up my own Mastodon today and quickly realized there was a 500 character limit to posts. I googled around, found some good guides and decided to make a quick bash script for it. Replace the below values inside the carrots with your settings.

    ``` #!/bin/bash -x

    docker exec -it mastodon_web sed -i 's/500/<desired_#of_chars>/g' /opt/mastodon/app/javascript/mastodon/features/compose/components/compose_form.js docker exec -it mastodon_web sed -i 's/500/<desired#_of_chars>/g' /opt/mastodon/app/validators/status_length_validator.rb docker exec -it mastodon_web bundle exec rails assets:precompile docker container restart <mastodon_web_container> <mastodon_streaming_container> <mastodon_sidekiq_container>

    ```

    Anyone using rustic?
  • Wow, people in this thread really have strong opinions about other people writing similar programs in different languages. Who cares? Why is more choice a bad thing?
