I'm a bit of an eclectic mess 🙂 I've been a programmer, journalist, editor, TV producer, and a few other things.

I'm currently working on my second novel which is complete, but is in the edit stage. I wrote my first novel over 20 years ago but then didn't write much till now.

I post about #Coding, #Flutter, #Writing, #Movies and #TV. I'll also talk about #Technology, #Gadgets, #MachineLearning, #DeepLearning and a few other things as the fancy strikes ...

So, once I got the CoreData stuff out of the way, implementing List filtering for Tusker turned out to be very simple 🙂

Now, I can create multiple lists, add users I follow to those lists and then have the posts and boost by list members be filtered out from my home timline. I tell you, it feels great already 😀

There are a few gotchas — I have unread post counts implemented for the home timeline and that doesn’t take the filtered posts into account. So I have to fix that. And there is the possibility that replies to people on lists might still appear on the home timeline. But both of those should hopefully be easy to fix …

So, once all that is done and working fine, if anybody would like to try out this flavour of Tusker and you are on iOS/macOS let me know and I’ll put up build somewhere? TestFlight maybe?

Some history from my state:

"Junius Groves and his wife Matilda were potato farmers near Edwardsville in Wyandotte County. The potatoes were shipped all over the country by rail and Union Pacific Railroad even put a spur line on the Groves farm to make it easier to load the produce. Junius became known as the “potato king of the world” because he grew more potatoes per acre than anyone else. He built a golf course for African-Americans and served as a trustee for Western University in Quindaro."

Lost about several hours messing around with CoreData yesterday trying to get the List filtering working for Tusker. I think this is why I prefer my own SQLite abstraction layer since then I know what the heck is going on ...

CoreData just gives cryptic error messages and while you’ll probably know what is going on if you work with CoreData all the time, for somebody who messes with it occasionally, it’s all a bit too much.

I was on the verge of adding my changes as JSON files since my changes wouldn’t have added a lot of data when I finally figured out what was going on with CoreData. Whew!

Now I need to actually implement the list filtering and we might be done?

I've been trying out leonardo.ai with a bunch of new prompts since yesterday.

The following are the best results for: "Burning the cradle at both ends" ... and no "cradle" wasn't a typo, that was the prompt I wanted 😛

I’ve been talking about trying to create a smaller, quieter home timeline and yet be able to follow interesting accounts with a large number of posts/boosts. I tried unfollowing some of these accounts and putting them into a list and, as should have been obvious, it seemed to fail since you do need to be following the accounts.

And yet, my list kept showing new posts but not at the volume that I would have expected from the users I added to the list. And only posts from some users.

I was puzzled about this and was wondering what was going on. I think I might have an answer — it looks as if you don’t need to be following the user to get their posts *as long as you follow somebody else who follows that user*. If the user and you have nobody else in common, then you won’t see any of their posts in your list.

So still not the ideal outcome, but maybe a workaround (albeit one which can have privacy implications) in case you want to go that route, I guess?

I think I’ll simply go back to my original idea of implementing homeline filtering for list members. But that’ll take a bit longer given the stuff I’m working on at the moment 😞
