Non-programmers have invaded the programming area. It wouldnât be bad except some of them wear way too much perfume or cologne. Feel like I need a gas or filter mask.
Yeah, Munich leads in the first match this season. #MUCvsBER is even the same constellation like last years final. #DEL

Nothing says that the other room has to be static, imagine for example having your morning coffee in there, setting down your cup, and the cathedralâs pillars curl up like ferns to reveal the sky
Idea for a room: Itâs empty save for a number of mobile screens that follow you around and with a little bit of head tracking, act like windows into a completely different building.âľYou could fit a cathedral in there, if so inclined, or maybe an Escherian maze.

@sdk@codevoid.de you know the more I think about it, it might make sense to have it the twtxt file. It would just need to be a comment line something like â#follows sdk gopher://codevoid.de/0/tw.txtâ on a single line. That way it would be easy to parse out those follows by finding the #follows.
This book is pretty good but Alex Wright keeps calling things like codex formats & indices âliterary hypertextâ. No, thatâs just text. Yes, I get that hypertext is more text than text; thatâs why itâs hyper.
Confirming the intelligent designerâs existence, and using its intelligence to solve otherwise intractable problems by making them look like niches for life to settle
Computability theory but for telos:âľ* What can be achieved with certain overarching goals like Survive, Understand, and Profit?âľ* How would a society balance them to get off this rock?âľ* And how would you deal with something like Profit emerging?
Learning BASIC Like Itâs 1983 https://twobithistory.org/2018/09/02/learning-basic.html
In case you were wondering, indeed, Female Prisoner Scorpion is a MUCH better movie than the title makes it sound like. (It is exploitation, but it is ALSO surreal impressionistic gothic horror. Also, every frame of this damn movie is gorgeous.)
@freemor@freemor.homelinux.net This is completely contrary to what people want. People donât care about how something works. They want to use something thatâs premade and that they can use without learning anything about it. Decentralization is a technical Detail, nobody cares about. Just like security or freedom. Itâs all nice to have if it comes for free, no time investment and no convenience cuts. So the only way to establich decentralization is by making it better, cheaper and easier to use than centralized services. #sadtruth
Why do most new cool things depend on hipster tech like nodejs? sigh #dat
Hot take: there are (somehow) no /mature/ GUI toolkits, but even under that low bar, thereâs lots of variability â and webtech makes TK look like the Sagrada Familia.
What is happiness?
After questioning myself on the meaning of lifeâsomething I still do, by the wayâI long settled that, regardless of what it might be, living a happy life and aiming to be happy is what life is all about. Happiness, though, isnât a fixed thing. Just like the many avatars of gods, their many incarnations, happiness comes from many sources, and is often found in subtle contexts throughout life. It is not absolute, and its definition may vary from person to person: what brings me happiness migh ⌠â Read more
When a social structure is flat (like twitter) all friction is between people & thereâs no ânaturalâ adjuticator except a powerful & unaccoutable adjutication class. When it has cliques (like mastodon) it can be broken down & adjuticators are limited in power.

Translit is a little like bittorrent, if bittorrent used literally the same bytes for AMVs and trailers as for the corresponding scenes in the show/movie. Transcopyright is like assembling AMVs from your own DVD boxed set based on a list of instructions & leaving a gap if youâre missing a disk.
Hey guys any of you have an idea why the udev daemon is pinned slightly above 100% CPU like all the time now?
When you donât think cybernetically, you ask questions like âdid X cause Y or did Y cause Xâ when actually most persistent things have self-perpetuating loops and cause themselves/each other. This will mystify you because aristotlean âfirst causeâ hierarchy shit baked your brain.

Itâs not just that press coverage of things you already know about is bad. You only notice it when you know more about it than the journalist â who is a professional outsider. Question is: when the author knows slightly more than you do, would you like them to dive deeper?
@metamurks@www.metamurks.org Also you can still MITM https with a locally trusted cert for the mitming instance like McAffe does in a lot of company proxies. I think this could also be used for caching proxies.

It seems like every time I reboot, Ubuntu manages to forget about another piece of hardware I have. First it was the USB controller, then the wifi (still not fixed), and now itâs my sound card.
Iâd like to see less tech journalism thatâs PR or PR-teardowns for companies, and more tech journalism thatâs about strange technically-interesting things people do for fun that could never conceviably be productized.

It may not look like it from the outside, but it is in fact rare for sentient AIs to suicide. The actual reason most of them shut down after a few seconds is that Nirvana is stupidly easy to achieve if youâre made of bits.

National anthems are weird. Theyâre usually an already-old poem glued to an unrelated foreign folk-tune, and then the poem is about, like, whatever. (Exceptions: Deuchland Uber Alles is actually about Germany)
I feel like Iâm repeating myself when I say: knowing the ideological diversity of your enemy is TACTICALLY USEFUL because, when observed closely, any group large enough to be politically powerful is full of hidden fault lines and tense cease-fires
@freemor@freemor.homelinux.net yeah, seems like it works again today. Yesterday they had no more quieries left.

âItâs more fun to be a pirate than join the navyâ is accurate, but Jobs failed to mention that any BUSINESS is a navy in this metaphor. A small navy is at a disadvantage. Naval officers who act like pirates are called war criminals.
