https://begin.com/blog/posts/2023-09-28-introducing-enhance-music from the @d97045f1 people is very clever, and worth looking at as a model for how a large chunk of web apps should be built. Lots of people have been saying for years that the recent JavaScript-first trend in web dev is the wrong way to go, but there aren't that many examples of someone actually demonstrating this; the Begin team are stepping up to that plate and leading a new approach, and I like it a lot.
Modern Amazon Echo devices know how to talk to things that support Matter, which is a new general protocol (that seems to live more in press releases than reality). But if I want to control a local Python script from my echo, without making the Python script visible to the internet (which cuts out custom skills), doing it with Matter seems a lot better than old hacks like having it pretend to be a PhillipsHue lightbulb. Anybody know about this stuff? Ideally not requiring all of home-assistant.
Having spent eleven pounds on only four razor blades, damn you Wilkinson Sword and your "hydro 5 blades" technology, the thought has occurred that maybe I should get a safety razor; the ones with the flat replaceable blade with the funny-shaped hole in the middle. Anybody got any thoughts on such things? Specifically: will I cut myself to ribbons?
(I'm not doing a proper cut-throat razor. Waaaaay too chicken for that.)

@2fd7551e I don't know if you can paste an Enter -- I think it depends on your terminal app and your shell (note that if you copy two lines, like
echo hello
echo world
and paste them, some terminal apps and some shells will execute the first line before pasting the second, and some won't until you hit enter). You can also hit Ctrl-X Ctrl-E to open up a text editor to type a command, which is then executed when you save with no enter key required, but... you probably can't paste the ^X^E keys either
@2fd7551e awh. And you can’t guess by looking at the people they follow to see where they might have seen it because you can’t always see that list. Ah well. So it does require the protocol change we spoke of in that thread. Never mind!
@2fd7551e what I would really like is this: https://mastodon.social/@sil/109837677049472346
Is this stuff you're doing able to do that? That is: tell that when person X boosted your post, that person Y saw it (and boosted it themselves) *because person X did*? To build a chain/graph?
