       @fribbledom How's this: you don't have to be Amish to exercise caution as to where and how much you use technology.

       @fribbledom Look at it this way: in theory, any sequence of numbers, which means every YouTube video not yet recorded, and every e-book not yet written, is probably somewhere among the digits of Pi. Good luck finding it.

       @alexbuzzbee Hey, I keep two of those. They even have readers, amazingly enough.

       @fribbledom The Nazis have modern tech now. Instead of sewing a symbol on the clothes of undesirables, they implant a microchip into everyone else. We're living in the future!

       The idea that "small web" means personal websites and nothing else is starting to bother me. Leave room for #communities. Forums with two dozen members. Wikis with half a dozen contributors.

       @msh It's an article specifically about headings. It says as much right from the title.

       @fribbledom If it was up to businesses, they'd remove fire hydrants, because they're big, red, obnoxious, get in the way and are seldom used.In fact this was the exact argument I used when Mozilla announced removing RSS feed support. Needless to say, I wasted my time.

       @Sandra We've been the baddies since at least the refugee "crisis" in 2015.

       @alrs At least those have the excuse of having happened centuries ago.

       Dear web browsers, it's 2023. When are you going to start treating plain text files as UTF-8 by default, which they're all but certain to be nowadays?

       @foone That's a major plot point in the cyberpunk novella I wrote last autumn. 🤦

       @bortzmeyer Rust's main sponsor is Microsoft. I believe that's called a Trojan horse.

       @tom To think that Douglas Adams was already roasting the concept of gestural interfaces all the way back in the Hitchhiker books.

       Oh look, there's a cool new app that runs in the terminal! Let's check out the feature list:"Written in Rust!"That's not a feature. No-one cares."Uses Vi-like bindings!"Sure, keep thinking that makes you more productive."Opinionated!"Listen here, you little shit.

       On second thought, #Vi-like keybindings do have a couple of advantages:1. Simplicity: you have to memorize them, but that's *easy* since they're single letters.2. Familiarity: knowing you can open many text-based programs and type / to search or q to quit is a breath of fresh air.But no, most of us don't think "3wdb" when trying to delete the third word from the cursor. That's machine speak.
