There’s a lot of unseen challenges for people who migrate. Like the simple fact of not having people whom you can trust to look over your child when you need it. Getting uprooted to start a network of relationships again has costs beyond money

#philippines Are there hidden costs for registering sim cards? I have two numbers and am deciding if I should just drop one of them.

This is amazing 🤣

Cozy is the open-source alternative to pocket.com

There, I said it 🤪

@kev Thanks for sharing. Looks like they're serious

@kev Just realized these are the people who tried to sue @pixelfed

Ah things I learn on the Fediverse

We just reached another milestone for @elk -- now breached 300 open issues threshold! ?

Anyone want to get some contribution in? ?
https://github.com/elk-zone/elk/issues

@elk I think it started out as we wanted to keep it below 200? ? @patak

@elk Come watch if you want to see me try to understand the code base ?

@elk Alright, I know we are cleaning up mentions somewhere... and I want to find and I'm going to do this link clean up beside that

Found the function that parses HTML content from the Status object, and we're going to add one transformation when the cleanup logic is triggered ;)

Uh, some invisible `<span>` elements are included at the end of the HTML content of a Status.... which means the link at the end of a post we see on Elk, is not the last child ?

The parse function seems not the best place as it is recursively going through node children... and I'm only concerned about the "last" not invisible child. ?

So close now... it's just that sometimes the preview card URL has a trailing `/` ?

Found that the preview card object generated by Mastodon is ALWAYS for the first link if there are multiple links in a post. This saves us work ? because the last link is never going to match the preview URL, and won't trigger the clean up logic

IT'S WORKING NOW, JUST NEED TO CLEAN THE CODE

stuff to note:
1. we check if preview card URL matches the shared link href attribute
2. we don't need to check for multiple links, because the last link will never match the preview URL in this scenario
3. we append the cleaned link to the preview card "provider name" so people will still find this info --> meaning, we don't actually remove anything, but instead move it into the preview card

Done. PR ready for review. Some screenshots

Removed the protocol part `https://` - it looks cleaner
