Don’t forget folks. At fosstodon, we’re here to discuss software. Sometimes we’re the teacher, sometimes we’re the student. And arguments are great! It’s what makes science what it is! But humility is incredibly important. We also don’t want to waste each others time with comments like “I disagree”, or “that’s dumb”. So here’s a helpful guide.

I need @EU_Commission@social.network.europa.eu to force airplanes to adopt USB-C power ports too so I can stop carrying a Type A and Type C cables.

@purism currently is running a long outdated version of Mastodon with a bug preventing me from forwarding my followers automatically. So please follow me there!

@MichalBryxi Oof. That's right up there with: "It's GraphQL. The client can just deal with my lack of intentional domain modeling. It's type-safe so my poo doesn't stink."

I keep getting confused as to why people are acting all confused about how Mastodon works. It works like Twitter used to work! And then I realize: Twitter hasn't worked like this for 10+ years, a lot of people don't remember when Twitter was like Mastodon is now.

@MichalBryxi 👏 YES! I wish were more popular. So many of the people who think GraphQL is better than REST assume REST means giant unmanageable balls of JSON hurled across unintuitable URLs.

I also wish Fitbit had publicly released its v2 API that used JSON:API. jeremiahlee.com/posts/json-api

#JsonApi is by no means perfect, but at this point I'm pretty certain that anything less in functionality than JSON:API will eventually mean pain and terrible hacks.
Please do learn from good, widely adopted standards instead of trying to be smart.
APIs are *extremely* hard and you *will not* be able to see everything that your app will need.
