🎉 Ah, the age-old debate resurrected! Why explain *what* the code does when you could just write clearer code to begin with? 🤔 But hey, let's reignite the flames with this groundbreaking revelation: maybe, just maybe, #comments should state the obvious too. 🔥 Because we all need more #verbose hand-holding, right? 🙄

Caro @jones che sei tanto bravo a fare queste cose, che ne diresti di inserire in #verbose — https://mastodon.help/verbose/ — la possibilità di aggiungere un "hard break" nel caso in cui si voglia splittare un toot in un posto specifico, per esempio prima della tagline di una barzelletta?

Sarebbe la ciliegina sulla torta!

🤡 Oh, look! It's yet another #verbose academic paper trying to decide if we should root for the rebel or the dictator. Spoiler: they never actually answer the question. Meanwhile, they pat themselves on the back for having a "mission" and "values" 🚀.

All four images have alt-text, but I'm VERY new to the whole #writing #alttext thing, so I'm sorry if it's really #verbose or overly descriptive.

@da_667 what a catty introduction to ids - I think running a js engine llike grey noise or bsd fingerprints is worth it too and pkt cap 24/7 #interesting #verbose

@adbenitez @opensourceopenmind #DeltaChat is federated via email, so #metadata-wise it is #verbose, I think (as #matrix is also verbose, maybe even more).

That's one of the advantages of #signal, that it is quite quiet on #metadata.

I think you could also check #briar, #SimpleXChat, or when it is ready #reticulum-based #LXMF when you just want to have other options and don't care about communicating with a wide audience which is not coming from a hacker bubble.

“Utility-first detractors complain a lot about how verbose this is and, consequently, how ugly. And it is indeed. But you’d forgive it that if it actually solved a problem, which it doesn’t. It is unequivocally an inferior way of making things which are alike look alike, as you should.”

“It turns out, people in tech are particularly bad at distinguishing between #paradigm shifts and paradigm sharts.”

@pws Yes, theoretically it should connect, but it seems more like an Android kernel or driver bug (in the area of legacy wifi backward compatibility) since the iPhone does connect.
Edit
However, now the iPhone is also having trouble connecting, so the congestion of the #accesspoint is to blame too.
Meanwhile I've activated #Android #DeveloperOptions for randomized mac and #verbose wifi registration and noticed a #standard=0 which is 802.11 not even g.
But it always connects under the 802.11n.

heyo!  #introduction time.  i tend to be #verbose, so i understand if my first #toot is seen as #tldr.

i have been a strict #vegan for 10 years.  my #family is small.  my only #son is an #electrical #engineer who is a #licensed #PE in 4 states.  i live with 3 #dogs - an older #yorkie and 2 much younger #biewer terriers.  i also keep an #aquatic #turtle and maintain a #worm #farm for him.

i'm twice #retired, first from the #military, and then from a #normal life.  i'm an #intel #alumnus, having spent 12 years in #post-silicon #validation of #processors and #chipsets.

i'm quite new to the #fediverse.  in #discord they call me #grey or #wolf.

in that #platform i'm either in several #Crypto servers, or in servers full of social/gaming #bots (the #OwO #bot is my #escape from the #ratrace).

my #interests are mostly #technology, #animals, and #music.

i built my first #x86 #computer in 1993.  i've been #crypto #mining for 7 years.  i build my own #rigs.

and now i've reached the limit.

I can totally ship our upcoming game with a 100-screen, 2400-word tutorial, right? No one would mind that. No. Of course not. People love to read and click through things. It's like… the most popular thing. 😄 #gameDev #verbose

Remember: Never use a big word when a singularly unloquacious and diminutive linguistic expression will satisfactorily accomplish the contemporary necessity.

@actuallyautistic Another handy term from #SoftwareEngineering that can be borrowed to describe the #autistic experience is the notion of a "leaky abstraction". In lay terms, this is when you try to put something in simple terms, but every attempt to do so forces you to say things in a way that isn't quite correct. To be 100% correct, you have to go into detail, and there's just no way around it, because the #language you speak doesn't have the particular words that you need.

If you have an #ImpedanceMismatch between your thoughts and the language you speak, then the language is going to be full of #LeakyAbstractions for you, and you are going to be stuck being way more #verbose than folks that use the language as intended if you want to express your thoughts to the same level of accuracy or precision as them. I can't claim to speak for other #autistic folks, but this is a big part of why I'm overly verbose sometimes.

New paint on an old instance; time for an #introduction.

Hi there! I'm a #verbose #millennial #technologist from #texas.

I'm #political, value internal consistency in #ideology, been involved in #activism most of my life, and have been criticized as an #idealist and #optimist.

Beyond what's in the profile, my jams are:
- #games (#VideoGame, #BoardGame or #TTRPG)
- #teaching, #learning, #neurology, #language
- #web0, #FOSS, #cybersecurity
- #music, #modular

#introductions

I'm #verbose
4/4

@heroicendeavour I had used a couple (Metatext and Tootle) but am currently using the web app—only function that’s missing is “add another post to thread” button which is frankly better for everyone 😅 #Verbose

FWIW, I like it here on #Mastodon. I am also getting the hang of the #hashtags, feeling out what does and doesn't fly, love the freedom to be #verbose, appreciate the #European folks, and am gonna keep on keeping on.

There are some words today I haven't seen in a while. I guess I'm glad this isn't Absurdle with 16 words.
