When you nest colons in a sentence, do like that:: the nth outermost colon is written n times, the innermost one is written 1 time: it kinda shrinks.

Oh how I wish the winter break came sooner. There're lots of exciting things to do, I hope you'll like some of them   Things I'm loving today: Decker, Lemmy, LinkHub, that tool I've imagined, that cool tomato sauce you folks will probably never taste, that really cheap low-quality black tea. I used to follow like 111 people or so. During the migration, my subscriptions were not moved. I actually want to still follow them all. So, if you are one of them, expect me to resubscribe in the coming months. What if I store my collection of links on https://merv.news or something like that instead of my garden? It's not like anybody looks for these links there except for me. I'm applying for an account on merv.news under the same username. What is the culture there? What are the conventions? Are there any link-capturing tools? Can I depublish links? Are there tags?

 If you don’t wanna store links on your garden, try Zotero. You can sync data between devices. Desktop and mobile apps are there => https://join-lemmy.org/news/2022-11-02-_First_release_of_LemmyBB > We are excited to announce the release of lemmyBB. This is an alternative frontend for Lemmy, based on the design of phpBB. It turns Lemmy from a link aggregator with upvotes and image previews into a traditional forum, or bulletin board. here they are, playing on my phpBB nostalgia While cooking the dinner, I was thinking of what I want from my perfect bookmarking system. Looks like I'll end making my own hahaha. It will be named after a tree. It will have #IndieWeb and #Mycoverse federation, with the former being simple to implement and latter being made up by me; I'm not talking about ActivityPub here. It will be a single binary. It will have a single file storage (SQLite). It will have categories. Tell me something like that exists before it's too late. In a forgotten cavern, if you descend deep enough, you will find the coin columns. There are many hundreds of such columns. Every column consists of 5 to 113 disks that resemble coins. They are made of a very shiny material, resembling gold visually and marble physically. Coins are stacked on top of each other, but not perfectly, so the columns form spiral-like structures. Sometimes they intersect. Le poisson qui rit is a flute of some sorts shaped like a fish that a friend gifted me after summer 2022. The reason it is shaped like a fish is because I like it this way. It has three holes. The image is dithered with help of @arcade. Merveilles would recognise the colors. Spent two hours or so renaming hyphae on https://klava.wiki, because the hypha names there are ridiculous, and I'm not done! I don't even do keyboards anymore... Someone here recommended this album: https://lectronice.bandcamp.com/album/neurodiverging I can't find the original recommendation, but the album is indeed nice!  I didn't know Yegor Bugayenko had a book that is not the Cactus book. This one is the Mushroom book. This is just perfect, I want it. Anybody willing to sell it to me secondhand in good condition for 1000 ₽? That's the price they ask for on Avito. So someone steals food in my dorm now. Victims are: a Twix, a pomegranate, a Picnic, a pie (was bitten brutally). Investigating... > Subject: Reminder Upgrade now: Heroku free product plans end November 28th Oh yeah ok. Give me a button that says ‘Purge my account without any confirmation’. I've never even used Heroku to host anything to begin with, I was just finding out what is possible with it. Remember the last time I procrastinated on an exam and got the highest mark because I got the best possible exam paper (as in I knew it the best)? Let's hope it happens again on 2022-11-09! I consider myself pretty lucky when it comes to exam-like stuff in uni. Well, it's not just luck, of course. When I was learning of ActivityPub a year ago, I thought: “There will be time when small servers will have troubles existing, handling all this traffic”. This thought is not written anywhere, but I truly believe I thought so. I guess now's the time. Merveilles are 500:ing, and it's not even small! What could be a different federation protocol that scales better? I'm not saying the Fediverse should migrate to it, I'm just wondering. In fact, I'm pretty fine with Fediverse getting this big.  @bouncepaw i've been participating in this wg (https://braid.org/). i'm optimistic the future of federation is an evolution at the http level. Append-only systems are wrong. If something has been added, it should be possible to remove it. Am I right that IPFS is an append-only system? If so, then I don't like it. Git also encourages append-only workflow. Luckily, it has --force that lets me fix my three mirrors. @bouncepaw IPFS is content-addressed. So, changing the content changes the address. There's some sort of DNS-like called IPNS which allows for mutable named pointers, so to speak. I don't think *that* is append only, but I'm not terribly familiar with it. @bouncepaw I'd like to challenge the notion that append only is wrong you can't undo words, you offer an apology append only is the default state of reality, and the magic of thinking sand has conned into thinking otherwise append only as a way of being is generally better imo @bouncepaw That's why I hesitated to use Fossil for the longest time, despite liking it otherwise. But their reasoning for going that way convinced me. It can be done right. At a museum yesterday, trying to impress someone, I translated a text in French. They thought it was Italian... Impressive anyway A cute thing about Kazan. There once was a street called Esperanto street. Now it's Nursultan Nazarbayev street, but the fun thing is that older people still call it Esperanto. Not many people know why it's called such, though. It would've been so joyful to hear the word Esperanto every time I pass the street on a bus or a trolley. According to Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia, the street name history is as follows: <1927 (A name I have troubles translating) Esperanto was used two times! Both times the name was considered thanks to the local Esperanto club. It doesn't seem to be active anymore. No idea what happened to them. Their domain expired. What GUI toolkits have drag-n-drop builders? I heard there is one in GNOME Builder for GTK. Because of uni, I also know of something called Visual Studio. What else?

@bouncepaw I suppose that's what Qt Design studio is doing, and before that, Gorm on GNUstep @bouncepaw I think there's some kind of ui builder interfece buried in xcode somewhere, but I've never seen it used. |
