I would be surprised if Hataraki Saibou didn’t become extremely popular with cosplayers. It has a wide variety of iconic, low-effort uniforms, plus a handful of even more iconic higher-effort ones.

The very fact that ‘product’ and ‘consumer’ are often appropriate terms is an indication that we have failed to create a sensible world.

This Fred Turner book really makes me wish we had good hypertext integrated into publishing. Hard to go more than a sentence or two in From Counterculture to Cyberculture without wanting to link it to Rise of the Machines, or Encountering America, or What the Dormouse Said, or Fire in the Valley

Hot take: there are (somehow) no /mature/ GUI toolkits, but even under that low bar, there’s lots of variability – and webtech makes TK look like the Sagrada Familia.

Udevd was eating up literally all my ram and literally all my CPU, while doing nothing. I fixed it by turning off udevd. (Take that, systemd.)
When a social structure is flat (like twitter) all friction is between people & there’s no ‘natural’ adjuticator except a powerful & unaccoutable adjutication class. When it has cliques (like mastodon) it can be broken down & adjuticators are limited in power.
