fyi there's a browser extension called "Indie Wiki Buddy" that will link you to community-owned wikis when you're on a commercialized wiki with a community alternative. it's really nice to see communal wikis sprouting up, it reminds me of the early internet days. also, fuck fandom. ease of use devours the soul! :win3_minesweeper: i want software i use to feel like my mom’s iron pan. the pan requires skill, care, and understanding. it says “if you learn to use me, i’ll serve you forever. but you have to care.” the opposite is something like an air fryer. it’s immediately easy to use, but it can never feel as real and human as an iron pan. i want my tools to require _effort_ from me. i want to have to invest in them a little. otherwise they feel like ghosts. optimizing for ease of use is often consumeristic. the end result is single-use plastic cartridges and disposable appliances. @j3s > if you learn to use me Even the average airfryer is much better than software; at least it doesn't pull the rug out after you learned how to operate it :hehehe:

@j3s What about editing your long post in Notepad++ first, then copy & paste it into the browser's editing window?  @j3s if you're worried about losing text you entered in the future, also try an extension like https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/form-history-control/. unfortunately, it's a bit clunky slowly realizing that the wikis serve individuals way better than blogs wikis map more naturally to the brain & are way lower effort. my wiki already feels more like an extension of me than my blog ever has can't believe it took me this long to feel that out i have seen several ppl make a personal blog & struggle to write posts for it i think those ppl would have way more success with a wiki i think the wiki should be the default option for a personal website. it somehow feels simpler.

 @j3s not sure it helps but, instead of a publicly facing wiki, I use SimpleNote and am considering switching to Obsidian (so that the notes will rest locally in a human-readable format) I use a heavily patched gitit and it's really great. I have a workflow where I edit in a wiki but then pages are moved to my blog when they are ready to publish. Makes it easier to distinguish published and unpublished ideas that way finally setting up a wiki :3 https://abyss.j3s.sh very early but it's probably where /reviews from j3s.sh is going to move to & a ton of other little content that needs to be easy for me to update. i'm just not doing it on j3s.sh bc the git barrier is too high. plus i've always loved mycorrhiza!! thx for making it @bouncepaw

  @j3s “this opinion is not very widespread, but i think that it should be.” allow me to introduce you to bsd.network who very much share your opinion about posix shell :flan_laugh: |
