I dont. Its honestly not great. I'd rather that effort went to preserving and repairing the existing tools of the free and open web -- the old protocols are extensible. Imagine if we had an RSS client with a "reblog" feature!

"Federation" adds overhead and honestly creates as many problems as it solves. It's not a selling point, its a price tag.

Bones, i appreciate your posts but I think you're completely missing the point with your titles; meat tea is awesome.

I was that kid. Get them a copy of Rhythm Heaven if you can find one, or one of its spiritual successors like Rhythm Doctor.

I had been playing Minecraft back in the Technic modding era, lots of item tubes and machine blocks, and I remember looking at my actual real life washing machine and thinking "I bet I could use a wooden pipe to extract that into the dryer"

I don't usually "pin to top" or "pin to bottom" but I often have pseudo-folders that use a similar approach, for instance

  • Healthcare
  • Mail
  • Taxes 2020
  • Taxes 2021
  • (etc)
  • Work 2020 (Name of job)
  • Work 2021 (Name of job)
  • (etc)

Take chances, make mistakes, and get messy.

Learning good technique is hard and boring. Solve a problem the wrong way first, and you'll find out what technique improvements are worthwhile.

I have adhd and my idle stim is shifting my weight from one foot to the other. I'm like a living metronome. Drives people crazy.

I would much rather learn a new word than slog through a glib deluge.

I use ! to sort to top, and Ω to sort to bottom. So far haven't had any compatibility problems.

For the curious: the use case for this is when you want to reduce nesting but also want a sort of "soft hierarchy" within a folder. I could separate my music folder into albums and playlists, but then I'd have a mostly empty folder, so instead I put both in the same directory and use prefix naming to sort them.

if the states aren't obvious, use an enum with two values, and name them both. Thats what enums are for.
