@bmallred Nice! 👌
Sorry, more pixels:

@bender wut?! 😮
@bender Time to update my machines! 😅
Saw someone else posting this and, yep, it’s true:

This is fixed now 🥳 Thanks @xuu!
@bender I _believe_ that's the only way. We'll deal with it as it comes up I think.
@bender I _can_ fix and make that work in the parser too. But I'm no longer sure how to cater for the general case. It's too much to support all punctuation whilst at the same time as other contradicting rules. For example you cannot both support . in nicknames and then expect to be able to to end a mention with a . 🤦‍♂️
@bender Yes I know 🤣 It's okay, we just have to build better parsers 😅
@abucci totally my fault sorry 😞
@bender LOL 😂
There are 5 of such "Twters" on this pod that have periods in their nick 😢


sqlite> select count(distinct(nick)) from twters where nick like '%.%';
count(distinct(nick)) = 5
sqlite> select distinct(nick) from twters where nick like '%.%';
 nick = @marado@ciberlandia.pt

 nick = eapl.me

 nick = eapl.mx

 nick = grumpygordie.great-site.net

 nick = @chyrp.doesnm.cc
I'll see if I can fix this and write a test case for what's going on here. I _think_ this is made difficult now because folks like @eapl.me decide that it's okay to have a . (_period_) in their # nick 🤣 tbh I _think_ nick(s) should have rules of what they can and cannot be comprised of. i.e: no punctuation 🤦‍♂️
Whereas @movq @lyse and @bender are all cool 😎
That's kind of weird actually. Hmmm @movq, @lyse, and @bender are all cool 😎
@bender This story just reminds me of the couple of times we've paid for things in cash 💰 💲 and the stupid banks with the ridiculous "scam alert policy" ask you all kind of dumb ass questions about what you need the cash for 🤦‍♂️ One of these days I need an excuse to buy something that costs a few $k just so I can answer when asked, "what do you need the cash for?" to which my response will be "drugs and hookers of course!" 🤣
@bender Sounds good to me! Done ✅ Also you did some, so thanks! 🙏
