The code we write is not too far from days of PDP
The programs only work with a sequential guarantee
A rule the CPU maintains, so that you cannot see
That inside in reality it's four cores in a trench coat.
🎵
Opcodes sorted, one two three
Run through simultaneously
Sequenced automatically
From four cores in a trench coat.

TIL that you can self-boost a toot, which shoves it to the front of everyone's timeline (boo, rude).
... but I also learned that you can make a filter on one or more toots and select them individually to add to the filter (awesome, yay). So now I have a "squelched" filter to kill self-boosted toots.
I like how so far, every problem I have with this protocol already has a solution.
(... now to see how much work it would be to add "is self-boosted toot" as a criteria in the filter)
p.s. I'd say something like "Stop self-boosting your toots," but it's your service too and I ain't gonna tell you how to live your life. Just know when you're repetitive my squelch is judging you silently. ;)
