If your language isn't interpreted I'm sorry but you're just writing assembly but with extra steps

if i ever make an android app, i will add a built-in "export/import data" option so that it would be possible to move it from one phone to another without either both devices being rooted or google drive

Why do the cookie popups start with "We value your privacy", clearly they don't because they would've just not included the crap.

what is it?
is the web HTML?
is the web JS?
is the web HTTP?
is it the people "on" it?

people will often contrast "the web" to something else, like gopher
I propose an alternative (re)solution

the web is our capability, as humans, using technology, to connect across barriers (geographic, linguistic, class, etc)

we shouldn't seek to "replace" the web
we should seek to make it better
this could potentially mean replacing every component within it
however when you frame it like that, it's a lot easier to get behind, eh?

As Arnold Schrijver said at https://codeberg.org/Codeberg/Community/issues/142, the powerful social networking available on the corporate #git repositories may soon be available across non-corporate git repositories like #codeberg https://codeberg.org .

* https://forgefed.peers.community/
* forum: https://talk.feneas.org/c/forgefed
* notabug.org: https://notabug.org/peers/forgefed
* gitea issue (at github!): https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/issues/9045

Forgefed may override a major #TyrannyOfConvenience argument for remaining on github.

Dilemma: Have negative thoughts. Want to not have negative thoughts

Two ways Slack reminds me I'm not far away, evolutionarily, from single-cell forms of life:

* When chat has been active, after posting my last update I'll stare at the prompt for a short while before going back to doing something else
* If anybody posts a giphy, my attention constantly gets drawn back to it and this'll happen repeatedly until I minimize it (at some point I'm sure they'll monetize this and disallow minimizing)

@shreyas Phew. Well, there's still hope.

The fuck is a monad

FUCK ICE, fuck the GOP:

TLDR: If your university is shifting to an entirely online semester due to the /global pandemic/, you need to transfer to a university with in-person instruction or they'll revoke your VISA.

if every file within the ".md" TLD isn't a markdown file, we lost a great opportunity

Instead of uploading all our information to silos like Facebook or Twitter, we should be able to host our own basic (meta)data like avatar, status updates or social connections in a standardized format.

You would then be able to grant services like Facebook or Twitter access to that data via a token, and you could control which service gets access to what kind of data.

Yes, I'm still dreaming of a semantic web.

Internet!
