BTW, what is the bset alternative for GitHub right now? I still have GitLab from my time at SKAO, but it looks like Forgejo/Codeberg seems to be the platform of choice…

In particular, I miss something similar to Gists in GitHub, is that available in Forgejo/Codeberg?

I thought I had written this in my `.zshrc` file… and it seems I did not!

I have created a gist (`diff_str_functions.sh`), see link below, just to remind myself again of it… and have versions not just for `ksdiff`, but also `diff` and `opendiff`.

My hypothesis is that people have been led to believe that having a lesser number of follows in ratio to followers is proof of success in social media, but this pruning view is detrimental to long term progress of a social media platform.

I would suggest that a follower's ability to be in synchronisation with another individual is momentary, and social media followers need to access more accounts to achieve beneficial harvesting. Allowing followed accounts to be off-topic is natural, and finding interest in their progress cannot always be satiated as a chronological dosage. Humans are occassion based, and this implies occasional interest and sometimes curiosity.

A few accounts may artificially maintain a follower's daily staple, but we should see their efforts as the exception, and not set that as a tide mark of any kind. Projecting daily staples as an expectation will lead to a greater losses in the social contract across each platform. A naturally compensated outcome is to perceive drifts and allow for chaotic reconnections. Hence, requiring a less tense stance on pruning in a collection of follows.

Heavy chronological demands are too closely related to dark patterns, and detrimental social media addiction. Exploring a greater group of follows inverts the expectations on the followed, and allows for a natural social contract to exist.

• It needs to be tempered with admission that chronological expectations are how some people push themselves to achieve anything at all.
• Not everyone uses fewer follows the same way, and some have a beneficial reason for pruning.

That's the gist!

Got a lot of trash pipelines in GitLab?

Just get rid of them :)
