#BandcampFriday artist emails arriving on Sunday morning seems counterproductive.

@cory@follow.coryd.dev @zachleat@fediverse.zachleat.com This humans.json thing seems more like “What if FOAF, but it’s JSON” to me (in a neutral way, to be certain).
My tendency will always be in the vicinity of “mark up your blog roll or link blog with rel values and microformats and you’re golden.

@lynnandtonic@front-end.social @robb@social.lol The Stalker is probably my choice, too, since it’s the first of their songs I ever heard on the college radio station way way way back when.

@zachleat@fediverse.zachleat.com pull_request_target has •always• been a yard full of rakes waiting to be stepped on. I don’t know enough to draw any conclusions, and (like you) I’ve never used it, but I also never understood why they’d ship something so easily misused.

@davidcelis@xoxo.zone Yes! It’s worth tracking that file in version control so everyone else’s container builds are consistent.
Also, if you’re using Dependabot and configure the “devcontainers” ecosystem, Dependabot can track version updates for you.
Smashed together enough Ruby code to extract links from a Bandcamp wishlist page's HTML, fetch each of those pages, and extract from them the artist, title, price, currency, and album artwork URL.
Save that as a CSV and I've got a sortable spreadsheet.
This helps me answer questions like:
• How many wishlist items can I buy for $50?
• Which of these wishlist items are available for free?

@soulcutter @sstephenson I'm at the point where I'd just rather pull everything I've ever published to that stupid website.

@nileane @tinystartapp Holy shit, this was literally the fist thing I thought of as a “it’d be nice if…” when I was reading up on the app.
Incredible work. 👏🏻❤️

@cory@follow.coryd.dev @zachleat@fediverse.zachleat.com I can’t recall important things, but I can remember posting a question about XFN 20 years ago on the microformats mailing list.

@Owlor@meow.social I’ll always have a soft spot for ska!
Do you have any favorites at hand? Would love some recommendations on Bandcamp.

@misty@digipres.club I recently noticed this changeover in my own browser, as well.
Sick sad world!

@lynnandtonic@front-end.social In a rare moment of personal restraint, I just backed out on the vinyl from Deathwish. Cheapest shipping option is nearly $11! 🥴
The record’s gonna rip, though. Can’t wait for June.

@Owlor@meow.social This is familiar-looking. It must've come across my feed when it came out. Thanks for the recommendation!

@Owlor@meow.social @Littleways@mastodon.art Ahh, yeah, I've come across JER's records on Bandcamp before.
