Sounds pretty exciting. Be sure to implement Webmentions and IndieAuth and other IndieWeb stuff as a first step so you're not re-inventing things that are solved, but need more traction. The web has gotten boring. This is so true. Be

This was my reaction too. You can’t put off a judgmental vibe like that and expect to attract many cool people.

These questionnaires should read, “What race has society labeled you?”

You are very wrong. Your best option, should you be open to knowing how far off you are, is to listen to the podcast series “Seeing White.”

A rant like this makes me ask; can we do much better? Want if this is about as good as human cooperation gets? A rant like this has only one answer, and it’s for society to stop trying. The ranter fails to grapple with details, matters of f

It’s at a stage with undeniable utility and a possibility to become ubiquitous, but the face hardware problem will need to improve. Ain’t nobody wearing that for a virtual meeting, even though right now the visceral advantages of meeting so

I gave Windows+WSL2 a fair shake (more than a year), but it’s just too bumbling. Back to MacOS and finding it a pure joy, rivaling the joy I had with Gnome on Linux 10+ years ago. Might have to give Linux a try again based on these poll res

I’d be far more concerned about anti-female bias that doesn’t even get recognized.

Yeah, I think monetization and discovery were drivers to Medium. Apparently that comes with a lot of trade-offs in terms of autonomy. It was hard enough to play ball with Google as an independent site, and I'm not sure people find that

Every effort to maintain a personal website is inspiring. I love it. There's still a better balance to be had re: maintenance vs. autonomy, and I hope a hosting/publishing service finds that someday and offers it in a way that att

Luckily I didn’t suggest any such thing. Here’s a chance for you to reckon with whether you’re being intellectually honest. I suggested blacklisting a source with a history of intellectual dishonesty, some of which was picked up right in th

That's all true on the spectrum of reasonable, honest dialogue. Bari Weiss is in the group not being reasonable, while asking for reasonable (determined by intellectual honesty, not political leaning) people's time. Being tasked t

Bari Weiss stuff probably should be blacklisted here. There’s a reason the New York Times quickly figured it was worth the hit to fire her. She’s a mere sensationalist propaganda peddler.

Same system here. It’s simple and effective.

I mean, capital has the edge over labor in everything we do in this country. Labor even votes against its own financial self-interests. It’s who we are.

And the “family values” folks, oddly, are no help.

Right on, and I can’t believe how seldom it’s heard. The current work-life-society bargain is terrible and we should expect terrible results until it’s re-negotiated.

I have never witnessed a status quo so blithely defended. We are free to imagine and strive for a different world than the one we find ourselves in, and I would argue those trying to stifle that are the ones who should be banned from forums

So brave! But seriously, how can you post so confidently that funny is somehow objective and that you get it when others don’t? That in itself is a joke, so we’ll-played, I guess?

This is like a pencil drawing rather than even an MVP. Just to be honest, it's not satisfactory for any reasonable minimum; it will leak, exposed OSB will rot away like cardboard, the framing won't support repeated opening and clo

Really? I can’t believe it needs to be said, but perhaps justice is about transcending the rules of mere sustainability. I’ve always been curious about this course. Maybe this thread will lead me to watch it. https://justiceharva

Ok, if there are enough people sharing that opinion, then I certainly get it.

Is it strictly necessary that it be ugly?

My skepticism comes from a belief based on observation that messy human collaboration is the name of the game, and our job is to merely move the needle in the right direction. Removing the messiness is not possible, may not even desirable,

"some agency"? It's an agency put in place and managed (budget, appointments, etc.) BY ELECTED REPRESENTATIVES. Did you want a direct vote on vaccine mandates? Sometimes it seems people fail to understand what a representativ

Maybe if obesity resulted merely from character flaws, but clearly there’s something environmental going on. Nonetheless, would it be unfair to give transplants to manual laborers and motorcycle riders as their chances of dying early are hi
