Gardenposting, cactus edition 🌵
A couldn't resist picking up a pachanoi at the garden store six weeks ago because it was showing signs of forming buds.
The first flower opened yesterday but it rained really hard and I couldn't collect any pollen. Thankfully, the second (and only other) flower opened up tonight and I was able to get some.

You know those really annoying websites that ask you to fill out a form but they won’t let you paste? So you have to (for example) carefully type a long bank account number by hand instead of just pasting it?
Turns out there are browser extensions that can prevent specified sites from turning off paste.

It’s kind of sad watching chunks of Fedi having to relearn lessons from the 90’s like “running a community website is hard, and the ‘community’ part is harder than the ‘website’ part”
And “any entitled, demanding users in the community will tend to rapidly push the people donating their time and money to run the site to just pack up and quit”
Maybe don’t be a dick to your instance admins and mods — when it’s not worth it to run a community as a volunteer, corps end up doing it for profit, and we’ve already seen how that pans out
Shoptalk, conferences
Anyone going to Elixir Conf this week?
I considered running a single user pleroma instance but maybe I don't want to manage all that stuff for myself.
Now that cybre dot space is getting sunset, what instance should I try to move to?

Typo, correction

Wow I cannot type on the phone. I don't want to delete and redraft a post that has been up all night just to fix a typo though.
