Maltron has a better thumbcluster

A comparison of Servo and Ladybird as of now (early 2025).

.DS_Store means Desktop Services Store. Desktop Services were not released in the end.

Is this site running Feather Wiki? Seems so.

For better or worse, I sometimes think. I have heard that I therefore am, but I’m unconvinced. Nevertheless, sometimes I write my thoughts down. Mostly just in my diary, but other times I publish them on the Web. This notebook contains those of my writings that are in a state somewhere between published and private.

A betulist and a gardener. Loving their design.

Главное правило пропаганды — посыл должен быть простым. Если хочешь, чтобы твоя вера распространялась, нужно упаковать ее в короткое и броское сообщение — мем. Чем он проще и тупее, тем ему легче распространяться. Если мем в рифму — еще лучше.

Мем дожен быть безапелляционным, без деталей, однозначным и не вызывающим сомнений. В идеале — чтобы он касался каких-то человеческих грехов — например, гордыни, алчности или гнева. Это сейчас самые социально одобряемые грехи.

The coolest thing I've seen today!

Цвета из нашей палитры везде будут отображаться правильным образом и без искажений. Любой из 216 цветов «безопасной» палитры может быть использован для графики, текста и фонов.

Ограниченный список цветов. Поможет, когда важна совместимость с плохими экранами. Почти всегда, то есть.

Lisp is so powerful that problems which are technical issues in other programming languages are social issues in Lisp.

... we are heading to the world where 10% of population would be able to produce all the goods needed.

... How is the 90% going to make their living?

They are not. If nothing changes they are going to die of hunger. And even worse, once that happens there will be only 10% of the population left, so the market shrinks to one tenth of its original size. At that point only only one tenth of the survivors — 1% of the orginal population — will be needed to produce all the goods. Thus, 9% will be left with no work to do and will also die of hunger. Now, of course, the demand plummets to 1% of what it used to be in the past and, given the improved efficiency, only 0.1% is needed to satisfy it. 0.9% is left with no work, is starved to death etc. Vicious circle perpetuates until the last human being dies of hunger.

All in all, there are three possible solutions:

1. Decrease efficiency

2. Work less

3. Consume more

I think the initial problem is wrong. We still need at least some millions of people to sustain the world. We can't go to one person in the limit who will manage a farm, a factory and an internet server all by themselves.

The author says the proposed three solution won't solve the problem long term. Yeah, they won't. They aren't solving it now. Says a universal basic income might help, but says it's a topic for another day.

Not so good.

I am sorry for linking such a ridiculously made website.

Online communities spawn, grow, and die. Why? How? What can be done?

It just happens. Nothing can be done. Accept.

Mastodon and Pleroma support four settings for post visibility. These are public, friends only, unlisted and direct messages. What actually happens when you use those settings? The only thing they will change are the to and cc fields of the created activity and object. Your server will federate the post to other servers depending on those fields, and hopes the other server respects this. There is no technological guarantee for this, though. A malicious server could leak all the data it receives. This includes posts to friends and direct messages.
