I just started learning Esperanto on Duolingo and it's been a breeze. I've studied other European languages (Spanish, French, German, Latin) as a hobby before and Esperanto is kind of a streamlined hybrid of all those. Interligua

I keep one in the kitchen. On my desk, I have an abacus, mostly for keeping my mind sharp. Same reason I have a rubiks cube, too.

One thing I didn't like about Matrix: I had a single server with 3 or 4 other users. In a few months, the database ballooned to, like, 80GB. User-uploaded content, including text, was in the ballpark of 2 or 3GB. Is there any way to cl

Plenty of creative people smoke, drink, and engage in other vices. I'm not confident that any significant number of cases that people smoke in media is due to funding from big tobacco. When I would light up on stage and drink some beer

Something I find interesting about visualizing things in my mind's eye: I can't get a grasp on where, exactly, I'm seeing them. I'm not seeing them in front of me, to my left or right, above or below, behind me, inside m

There are many, many servers that do not defederate with any other servers. If you're assuming the majority of Fediverse* admins or users engage in these childish games, you are wrong. If you prefer closed source spyware social media a

I really wonder what's going to happen there as climate change keeps getting worse. One "obvious" solution to me is that building more nuclear power plants would help them get more electricity to help cool things and keep soc

It's interesting you made your own feed format, but... why? Does anything actually support it? May be worth making a jsonfeed while you're at it, if you just want to make more options.

Whenever I need to provide a feed, I always choose Atom because (a) the spec is better and (b) anything that can handle RSS will generally also handle Atom.

The value of gold is related to the amount of labor necessary to produce it as a commodity. Contrast with aluminum and iron -- because they are relatively plentiful, they take significantly less labor to produce as commodities.

I think the amnesiac effect of many anaesthestics also tricks us into thinking we go totally unconscious under their effects. I've been operated on several times and sustained near life threatening injuries in the past. I can't re

I follow too many feeds. Getting all incoming posts in a single place is basically worthless for me. Maybe this is a good solution for someone who only follows a few blogs. You need to add categorization/tags and OPML if you want this
