Some pieces of code have highly-specific usecases and a small but dedicated fanbase.

Some pieces of code are invisible but actually hold the entire modern computing infrastructure like Atlas holding the sky from coming down upon us.

And then there is this genius masterpiece.

If you're browsing a very new account, it may appear to be empty even though they have already posted lots of stuff.

This is because most Fediverse servers don't "backfill" new profiles, i.e. if no one followed them at the time a post was made then their post will not be visible from other servers, even if people follow them later. Followers of new users will only see posts made after they follow them, and the oldest posts will remain invisible.

You can see all of a profile's public posts by clicking on the profile's avatar to open it on its home server.

You can also force any post to become visible from your server too by copying the post's public URL and pasting it into the search box on your server.

(If you think this is crazy, and you'd like Mastodon to automatically backfill posts when people follow an account, please give a thumbs up to the issue at https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/34 so that the developers realise you want this.)

אפשר גם להגיע דרך הקישור הזה בהעדפות:

In #Threema Libre gibt es keine einzige Zeile Code, die eine proprietäre Softwarebibliothek von Google oder anderen Drittanbietern voraussetzt. Und: Threema Libre gibt es nun in F-Droid. Vorbildlich!

OK it is really late here, but today's reveal of the first JWST image of the galaxy cluster SMACS-0723 was amazing, and I am still digesting it. There is so much stuff going on, it is absolutely breathtaking!

Just to get an idea of what an improvement this is over Hubble, over at The Robot Report, they show this beautiful side-by-side view of the previous best image taken with Hubble, and tonight's result. It's wild.
