Moctezuma’s Revenge and Bruce Lee on the Commodore64

It’s not about how many are made nearly as much as it’s about how many are thrown away.

I’ve only just begun on this, but my next software project is to rewrite my blogging software to use ActivityPub, especially for comments.

Good point: Look at lemmy - kbin - piefed. The guy behind kbin thought “lemmy is nice but I could make something better”, and then whoever is behind mbin saw that and said “I can make kbin better” and forked it. But without starting over in terms of connectivity or content! And now we have piefed which is on the edge of being even better and it’s still introperable. The power of that can’t be undersold.

The other person needs to either want to become self aware, or at least want to please the one doing the correcting.

By pausing the student in the middle of acting and having her reflect on the why of her action.

The is the Pride Month content I came here for.

I think I used an Apple ][ through the gifted program before we got a used Commodore 64 at home, but I spent more time on the C64. Taught myself to type and to program in BASIC.

HTML doesn’t “run”. It’s not a scripting language, it’s a markup language. All it does is mark sections of the document for the browser to display.

CSS is the rules for how to display the marked-up document. Even when CSS is not defined for a document, the default stylesheet of the browser is used. It’s not an interpreted language.

well, a markup language, not necessarily hypertext markup language

I used to not use a case, because I had a ruggedized hiking phone that didn’t need one.

I tend to think the the obligation to action falls more heavily on the privileged. Those who aren’t marginalized have a duty to use their position to correct the injustices.

Every time I see that screenshot it hits so hard.

sweeping afterwards was always part of the job

No more often than I eat meat now, which is only as often as I have to not be rude.

cleaning the litterbox is actually less unpleasant:

• doesn’t have to happen at a specific time

• if I fuck it up, it doesn’t spill over into other tasks

• it’s an act of service towards someone else and thus easier to motivate me than something that’s for myself

The price of meat is currently artificially lowered by several factors, including government subsidies and lax regulations. Correcting that would be good for everyone, even if it made meat a “sometimes” food for everyone but the rich.

wrong domain?
