so have you heard of this cool new thing called RSS? it’s like podcasts but for articles. you should check it out!

the sheer number of people not getting the point of this and compulsively chasing away younger people from possibly being interested in RSS is impressive.

Universal time estimate for projects:
About 15 minutes, give or take 6 months.

it is ableist to use gui frameworks with no accessibility features. full stop. i don’t care how bloated you think electron is, dear imgui is not an alternative anyone should use.

@zens Here we strongly agree!

Don't let fetishizing minimalism fall into ableism! And don't let it fall into a more subtle form of white supremacy!

Talking as someone who does think electron is bloated...

things user/profile systems fuck up, bad assumptions
- the user will never delete their account
- the user should be expected to individually delete their posts
- the user will never change their legal name
- the user will never change their email address
- the user will never change their phone number
- if they do change those things, surely they will think to use our change info ui before getting rid of their old name/phone number/email address
- the same as above, but with SSO linkages

- the user will never die
- the user will never be arrested
- the user will never be subject to search and seizure

Things I want in a text editor:

first: if you suggest I should try vim or emacs I will block you on sight.

all text editors are terrible. vi is vicious. emacs is egregious. sublime is sour. eclipse is excrement. atom is awful. vscode is not even deserving of alliteration.
this is a list of my demands. some text editors have some of these features but none have all. and i definitely want more than is written here.

* no modes
* syntax highlighting
* mildly scriptable
* cut copy and paste
* search and replace / regex
* open large files without hanging
* deal with long lines too
* persistent workspace
* doesn’t become difficult if i have 1000 files open at once.
* a better interface paradigm than “open” and “closed” files and a million tabs
* just closes without asking dumb questions in infinite sequences of dialogues
* well defined hypertext format with proportional fonts for comments and documentation.
