<p>WTF</p>

<p>If you make (n)vim forget about Sex (and Hex and Tex), your setup is bad and you should feel bad.</p>

<p>I&rsquo;m sure AstroNvim can be configured such that neovim once again recognizes <code>:Sex</code> but you know what else can do that? Not using AstroNvim.</p>

<p>And what Cosmic&rsquo;s got for me is not yet interesting enough to see if I can fix or improve performance. I&rsquo;m just — yep that&rsquo;s Pop OS, but slower.</p>
<p>I&rsquo;ll check again in a few months maybe.</p>

<p><em>@openbuddha</em> <em>@earthshine</em> <em>@thegibson</em> <em>@c0debabe</em> that&rsquo;s a good path choice, absolutely.</p>
<h3 id="hackerstown-2024-04-28-sun-1137">hackers.town: 2024-04-28 Sun 11:37</h3>
<p>If you want to fork Mastodon, do it because that&rsquo;s your idea of fun.</p>
<p>Not because you don&rsquo;t like the way they&rsquo;re doing things. The likeliest outcome of this path is you burn yourself out chasing compatibility for a project that&rsquo;ll never be more than &ldquo;Y, a fork of X.&rdquo;</p>
<p>You want a better project than Mastodon, write an ActivityPub implementation or contribute to one that exists. Steal adapt as many Mastodon additions as you like.</p>
<p>Just don&rsquo;t do &ldquo;Y, a fork of X.&rdquo; The success rate of those is — not great.</p>
<h3 id="hackerstown-2024-04-28-sun-1145">hackers.town: 2024-04-28 Sun 11:45</h3>
<p>Yes, there are plenty of notable exceptions, forks that became bigger than the original. LibreOffice jumps immediately to mind.</p>
<p>But out of how many forks? How much community effort and emotional energy did it take?</p>
<p>I mean it&rsquo;s not quite lottery odds, but still. You want to tilt at that windmill you go right ahead. But there could be more enjoyable paths.</p>
<h3 id="hackerstown-2024-04-28-sun-1148">hackers.town: 2024-04-28 Sun 11:48</h3>
<p><em>@freakazoid</em> hackers.town runs on <a href="https://github.com/glitch-soc/mastodon/">Glitch</a>, a pretty active &ldquo;friendly fork.&rdquo;</p>
<p>But man. Always having to keep your eye upstream like that. I&rsquo;d hate it.</p>
<h3 id="hackerstown-2024-04-28-sun-1203">hackers.town: 2024-04-28 Sun 12:03</h3>
<p><em>@galaxis</em> <em>@freakazoid</em> neat!</p>
<p>If I were to do anything like a fork — unlikely with my attention span — I&rsquo;d probably do a reimplementation in <a href="https://hanamirb.org">Hanami</a>. Different framework but same application language so there&rsquo;s one less layer of mental translation.</p>
<p>I wouldn&rsquo;t chase feature-for-feature compatibility, but I would target API compatibility sufficient that mainstream mobile applications and Web frontends could work without effort.</p>
<h3 id="hackerstown-2024-04-28-sun-1203-1">hackers.town: 2024-04-28 Sun 12:03</h3>
<p><em>@mcgrew</em> right? Eugen does his best, but he&rsquo;s not globally infamous enough to drive that kind of passion.</p>

<p><em>@freakazoid</em> <em>@thegibson</em> <em>@galaxis</em> digging deeper into Veilid is definitely in my (mountainous) TODO stack.</p>

<p>To get philosophical for a sec, we’ve been around poison so long (and constantly told that’s just how it is) we don’t know if we can trust a glass of water.</p>
<h3 id="hackerstown-2024-04-27-sat-1030">hackers.town: 2024-04-27 Sat 10:30</h3>
<p><em>@xan</em> <em>@c0debabe</em> oh heck I feel that one deep in my soul. That&rsquo;s where so many of us want to be.</p>

<p>A frustrating thing of not-tech — or more specifically not-tech-startup I suppose — is I still don&rsquo;t know if I got that job I had my final interview for a week and a half ago.</p>
<p>I&rsquo;m more accustomed to the cycle where you interview, get hired, and the company implodes just when you start to learn its name.</p>

<p><em>@Wrewdison</em> <em>@earthshine</em> <em>@thegibson</em> <em>@c0debabe</em> tech does good in the small all the time. It can help people get stuff done.</p>
<p>The invariably bad is at large scale, where people get treated as things. Sir Pterry told us how that always ends up.</p>
<p>And the lie fed to us with every paycheck, press release, and all-hands, so much that it&rsquo;s all we can believe without force of effort?</p>
<p>It&rsquo;s that &ldquo;scale&rdquo; is the only worthwhile application of tech.</p>
<h3 id="hackerstown-2024-04-27-sat-1942">hackers.town: 2024-04-27 Sat 19:42</h3>
<p><em>@hummingrain</em> much appreciated!</p>
<h3 id="hackerstown-2024-04-27-sat-2036">hackers.town: 2024-04-27 Sat 20:36</h3>
<p><em>@thomasfuchs</em> oh for sure a lot of people have memory-holed things like heckling me and the church grannies while we did a candlelight vigil. But I sure as heck still remember.</p>
<h3 id="hackerstown-2024-04-27-sat-2149">hackers.town: 2024-04-27 Sat 21:49</h3>
<p>We watched Rebel Moon (part 1 apparently as she&rsquo;s started part 2) and it was not good but it was pretty.</p>
<p>Honest it felt like a Saturday TTRPG session in one of those campaigns where the GM keeps things on rails so you can see all the worldbuilding.</p>
<h3 id="hackerstown-2024-04-27-sat-2151">hackers.town: 2024-04-27 Sat 21:51</h3>
<p>I mean I&rsquo;m gonna keep watching. I said it wasn&rsquo;t good. I didn&rsquo;t say I didn&rsquo;t like it.</p>
<h3 id="hackerstown-2024-04-27-sat-2211">hackers.town: 2024-04-27 Sat 22:11</h3>
<p><em>@thegibson</em> know the tides, get called a witch. It&rsquo;s awkward.</p>

<p>Part two is not better.</p>

<p>I have come to the conclusion that I do not enjoy writing about code in either Logseq or Obsidian.</p>
<p>Since much of the words I like to share are about code, this presents a conundrum for the public brain iteration of my site.</p>

&lt;p&gt;We’re well into the political poopscape, with folks getting understandably worked up and boosting everything that pokes their buttons.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;While we’re all collectively figuring out the best workarounds (maybe quote-boosting with a CW wrapper via phanpy or other frontend?), here’s a suggestion for the receiving end of the firehose.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<p><em>@laren</em> oh goodness absolutely!</p>
<p>WoD 1e is where all the fun was, because the rough edges they sanded off later actually made for good gameplay.</p>
<h3 id="hackerstown-2024-04-26-fri-0708">hackers.town: 2024-04-26 Fri 07:08</h3>
<p>And if you want to see boosts but don&rsquo;t want them jumping into your feed front and center, the <a href="https://phanpy.social">https://phanpy.social</a> boost carousel might be an acceptable alternative approach</p>
<h3 id="hackerstown-2024-04-26-fri-0710">hackers.town: 2024-04-26 Fri 07:10</h3>
<p><em>@laren</em> yeah I have a strong preference for 1e&rsquo;s art, and the layout approaches got more streamlined but sort of lost character? In my art nerd / grognard hybrid opinion, anyways.</p>
<p>plus V:TM 1e 1st printing was before anybody told them they&rsquo;re supposed to get clearance for the song quotes they used, stuff like that.</p>
<h3 id="hackerstown-2024-04-26-fri-0723">hackers.town: 2024-04-26 Fri 07:23</h3>
<p><em>@alan</em> <em>@pamela</em> yah, though during poopscape season it can feel like picking at grains of sand. Disabling globally as a band-aid might help folks from dropping out under the weight.</p>
<p>Also with <a href="https://phanpy.social">https://phanpy.social</a> and its boost carousel, it&rsquo;s a little easier (for me) to pick out individual uh outrage enthusiasts.</p>
<h3 id="hackerstown-2024-04-26-fri-0728">hackers.town: 2024-04-26 Fri 07:28</h3>
<p><em>@laren</em> oh but the bullshitting was the best part! Okay in our very specific heavily improvisational gaming group. I can see that being less the case for other play group compositions.</p>
<h3 id="hackerstown-2024-04-26-fri-0731">hackers.town: 2024-04-26 Fri 07:31</h3>
<p><em>@grmpyprogrammer</em> I&rsquo;m struggling with that as well. Pattern I&rsquo;m noticing is having phanpy ready if somebody quote-boosts, but defaulting to the Mastodon wide view.</p>
<h3 id="hackerstown-2024-04-26-fri-0756">hackers.town: 2024-04-26 Fri 07:56</h3>
<p>I love this shirt. Haven&rsquo;t worn it in a while. It fits so much better than it used to! Has it shrunk in the last seven years or—</p>
<p>oh</p>
<p>oh right</p>
<h3 id="hackerstown-2024-04-26-fri-0808">hackers.town: 2024-04-26 Fri 08:08</h3>
<p><em>@laren</em> Right? We had a story arc where I basically let the players get away with war crimes if they could plausibly rationalize it.</p>
<p>Then we retired those characters and I started a new arc with hunters, where to their surprise and plotwise delight I set up the retired PCs as primary villains because of all the damage they&rsquo;d caused.</p>
<p>Lots of meta self-examination in that arc, I tell you what.</p>
<h3 id="hackerstown-2024-04-26-fri-0857">hackers.town: 2024-04-26 Fri 08:57</h3>
<p><em>@PsyChuan</em> I hate to have to ask, but has Signal been known to throw up any such dog whistles? I&rsquo;ve known Telegram was potentially problematic for a while, but this cuts the adverb count by one.</p>
<h3 id="hackerstown-2024-04-26-fri-0909">hackers.town: 2024-04-26 Fri 09:09</h3>
<p>So Telegram&rsquo;s shifted their settings from &ldquo;that&rsquo;s potentially concerning&rdquo; to &ldquo;we should not trust them with our private communications.&rdquo;</p>
<p>and that&rsquo;s not even counting the steady microtransaction we&rsquo;re-really-a-social-network enshittification changes they&rsquo;ve been putting in over the years.</p>
<p><em>@PsyChuan</em></p>

<p><em>@semitones</em> <em>@pamela</em> I pondered that very concern when I saw the post get a little traction.</p>

&lt;p&gt;There was a brief stretch where I looked forward to Win 10/11 updates, mainly for better WSL features and integration. Looks like that stretch has ended.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Anyways, there are suggestions for fixing the new Microsoft Sponsored Malware Loader. Including “use Linux / macOS” obvs. But if neither of those paths are relevant to you, there’s Stardock and I think a few other options.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<p><em>@jimniels</em> <em>@qlp</em> I love these!</p>
<p>The Big Sur transition made app identification surprisingly difficult for me, with so many icons becoming &ldquo;stylistically similar logos identically placed and identically sized on identical white squircles.&rdquo;</p>

<p><em>@ceejbot</em> well at least the sudden change in licensing makes more sense to me now.</p>
<p>I mean — companies do that stuff all the time, but there&rsquo;s usually a motivating trigger, because lawyers aren&rsquo;t cheap.</p>

<p>and i already had to rewrite 2/3 of the notes that led to the blog post idea because i found a lower-friction way to do the thing while turning the notes into a post</p>

<p>Attention wandered for a bit, but I got code that does the thing and an only slightly sketchy story. Next I ponder how much to clean up the code and how much to fill out the story.</p>

<p><em>@yenzie</em> Honestly I didn&rsquo;t mind, as what I started with worked but looked kind of awkward and uncomfortable. Like maybe <em>@genehack</em> in a tie.</p>

&lt;p&gt;Some kind of cognitive dissonance hit my neurospicy brain hard and I dropped out of the process. No I didn’t know what or why — brain rarely explains these things to me. It just refuses to let me continue, and it usually turns out to be right.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<p>Not sure, but with everything between Nymwars and &ldquo;firing people for protesting is somehow just business,&rdquo; I think what I saw 15+ years ago was that core of deliberately blinkered ego.</p>

<p><em>@darius</em> I absolutely remember that transition.</p>
<p>I mean not from you specifically, but by 2008 &amp; especially 2009, a sizable chunk of my RSS feed consisted of auto-generated Twitter activity summaries. Not all, but enough that I had to cull my subscriptions (and follow them on Twitter).</p>
<h3 id="hackerstown-2024-04-22-mon-0928">hackers.town: 2024-04-22 Mon 09:28</h3>
<p><em>@darius</em> I don&rsquo;t know why, but they popped into my memory the other day. I think I was pondering favorite blogging systems, one of which was Vox, and how I stopped using it after pretty much everyone I followed there had switched to those Twitter summaries.</p>
<h3 id="hackerstown-2024-04-22-mon-0931">hackers.town: 2024-04-22 Mon 09:31</h3>
<p><em>@beep</em> <em>@darius</em> what amuses me is I didn&rsquo;t really get into blogging until after all that. Twitter etc freed up part of my brain to know I wanted some long-form timestamped writing.</p>

<p><em>@lmorchard</em> <em>@ceejbot</em> documenting them is sometimes better than conquering them, as sometimes there&rsquo;s some good ones.</p>
<p>It&rsquo;s also okay to retcon. I&rsquo;ve gone back to nearly empty journal entries for some day, went &ldquo;wait I was obsessing over such and such that day&rdquo; and record that.</p>
