Federated f-list already exists, it’s called IRC. Honestly I’d love to see an f-chat to IRC bridging tool, so I can add it to my znc bouncer.

Google search. I want a way of finding stuff based on everyone’s tag suggestions, like a booru, but distributed.

Where I live, we drive on the right, but pass on the left, so I do that. For stationary or oncoming obstacles, go right; for passing things moving the same direction as me, go left.

oooh, wiby got a .org? nice.

I don’t know about self-hosted search yet, but I think that’s one place where federation might actually be a feature and not overhead.

I think you’re approaching this in the right way. You know that logically it’s not worth your time to dwell on something you can’t change, but knowing that doesn’t change how you feel about it, because feelings aren’t rational.

You can’t make the feelings go away, but you can find a better way to express them. You came here because you needed to talk about your feelings, and that’s a good start, although in general the internet makes a poor therapist. I would recommend starting a journal, either on paper, in text, or using a voice recorder, whatever feels most natural. Journals are good listeners.

Pay attention to yourself. Allow yourself to recognize your emotions, and how they affect your body. Listen to your breathing. Put a finger on your wrist and try to feel your pulse. Take a moment to be aware of your hunger, your thirst, your aches and pains, and how all of them feed back into your emotions. Work with your emotions, not against them.

oh man I would have to start practicing sleight of hand again I’d be the coolest magician

This isn’t a new problem, Reddit was the same way. As a site grows, it gets harder to moderate, and that means more people trolling for attention. Go to your user settings and change the default view from “All” to “Subscribed”, and you’ll have more control over your home page.

This is like asking “isn’t wikipedia full of false information?”

And, yes! There are lots of mistakes in wikipedia. But when they’re found, they can be fixed. That’s the same deal with open source software.

Japan has a word which I forget, but it means “Furry Bad End”, which refers to any “Happy” ending where a cool animal character turns back into a boring human; e.g. Beauty and the Beast.

Sounds similar to echolalia, which I believe is a common autism symptom. A person with echolalia may have difficulty forming complete sentences, and will prefer “recycling” sentences they have heard before.

I wouldn’t call it “lazy” if its legitimately a mental disorder. Laziness implies a lot more agency and choice.

That being said, I’ve found many autistic people are open to communication lessons if offered with kindness. Its just that teaching takes time.

I have no absolute knowledge, but I have lots of probabalistic knowledge. I update my priors in response to new evidence, therefore I probably am.

I don’t believe the world is getting worse. I believe our knowledge of the world’s ills is getting better.

Omori opens with an intense depiction of self-cutting and I noped out right there.

It gets much darker, I’m told. Glad it made the point early; I would not have enjoyed it.

basically this comes down to time and money. if you’re a hobbyist, you have lots of options available, but they take time to learn and you probably already know html. if you’re a professional, developer time is more expensive than cpu cycles and you probably already employ a web developer. unless there’s a good reason, most people won’t learn an entirely new GUI toolchain.

Electron apps ship their own chromium-based renderer, but ‘webview’ means the OS gets to use its own renderer. It’s still a browser-like environment, but at least the OS can choose the most performant one.

I would like to believe this is sarcasm, but it’s impossible to distinguish fake stupidity from real stupidity; Poe’s law.

I think we live in an age where advertisements are literally gaslighting, and also where large portions of the population are bombarded with advertisements on a daily basis. I’m not surprised if people’s grip on reality gets a little wobbly, resisting all that propaganda is a lot of effort.

Literally just an android phone, but it comes pre-rooted and one of the system apps is a scripting language, similar to how the TI-83 comes with TI-BASIC. It’s bullshit that we’re carrying these powerful super-computers everywhere but with less user empowerment then a mid-tier calculator.

(yes, I know you can root your phone and install termux and python but I want that to be the default)
