vibeo gane,

This is a good take.

Speaking from the same neutral pragmatism, it makes sense to let the default Lemmy web UI be a lightweight, actually-mobile-friendly derivative of old.reddit, rather than a more committed default like Alexandrite or Photon.

Keeping things similar is a good jumping-off point, and if we do want to make some large change, different generations and cultures have heavily varying default preferences. Wouldn't it be wiser to pick a common ground, something these differing peoples have grown used to, as opposed to some new style A or B or C likes?

(Fun fact: if you think that ppl sticking to old designs is silly, Panasonic has a whole $$ niche in Japan selling modern-internal, vintage-external laptops with DVD drives and old-style keyboards. https://old.reddit.com/r/thinkpad/v0t06p literally has both a VGA and a thunderbolt lol)

It's indeed Reddit-wide. Rather than being moderator-specific, it's admin-enforced.

• r/interesting (np)
• r/WitchesVsPatriarchy (np) (if a mod were to expunge it, it wouldn't be these)

To qualify what you mentioned, I've seen the manifesto itself successfully pasted and kept up for 15+ hours, but not the link to it. (just CTRL+F for "indecipherable" in either the r/interestingasfuck or r/WitchesVsPatriarchy threads)

I pop out the womb

Good evening, mother. Wait, I forgot I'm not supposed to talk. Um... wah?

I return to the future

edit: word

You're correct in that the NYPD said that it was a "handwritten, three-page document" -- I found it odd too -- but, the "document" could've been on one of those mini notebooks, or in large print, or scrawled.

From another perspective -- if the transcription is incomplete, then Klippenstein either (1) omitted text by his own hand, (2) could not acquire the entire document but was unaware that he hadn't, or (3) did not acquire the entire document but withheld his report's weakness of breadth.

I'm not sure Klippenstein's incompleteness is very likely

Ironically, Wittgenstein's Philosophical Investigations touches on how thinkers often confuse themselves by slightly shifting the meanings of others' words (like a game of telephone!) -- and, you may have done that here, since he's never framed language in the way you mentioned ( ꩜ . ꩜ ;).

Philosophy is a battle against the bewitchment of our intelligence by means of language. r/philosophy discussion

Furthermore, in Tractatus (though he kind of discredited this book later in life), Wittgenstein argues

What can be shown cannot be said

as a weakness of propositional language (vs. e.g. pictorial language) -- then, this is yet further against "language being at the center in intelligence". (Stanford Plato discussion))

Maybe you're confusing him with someone else? :D

A tangent: On r/interestingasfuck, a post (np link) about Klippenstein's report was removed in less than an hour, but has continued to skyrocket in upvotes, fueled by comments alone

(As of this comment, first removal complaint was 2 hours ago, but post was made 3 hours ago.)

I thought there was only one impersonation (which was attacked since it didn't have the quotes that the NYT had extracted from their unreleased copy).

About a possibility of a hoax: Klippenstein has a fairly reputable history of uncovering/reporting on leaks, but this situation is essentially a

Other news websites: Looks like Ken has the document!

Vulkan Forge is such a name, I'm surprised no software has taken it

That's because it's almost always a poor retelling.

When someone talks about their dreams, they're biased; to them, it's already profound. But to you, it sounds like a disconnected infodump because, well, it usually is.

I was in an apocalypse, then met Stu, he's 6 foot 4 and had 730 quadrillion molecules in his body, then Gandhi sold me to Justin Trudeau. Woke up in a cold sweat. (add 200 words of filler)

Is this a testament to the importance of writing skill, or insurmountable bias? I suppose a hobbyist writer would have a better chance at keeping one compelled.

Here's my favorite example of better dream storytelling: tumblr

Also known as autoantonym (antonym of itself). e.g. "Because of my oversight, my project is finished."

Did the person make an oversight, i.e. a mistake, and now his project is done for?

Or did the person's well-adjusted oversight, i.e. management, help complete his project on time?

I always enjoy looking into what other people are doing with their smaller (but 100+ views) websites, thanks for posting.

Usually "this is a good website" websites are pretty text-heavy with the occasional picture. These sites only need HTML anyway and frequently say "you only need HTML anyway".
Although the linked webpage -- a debatable list of opinions (e.g. Cloudflare privacy is hotly contested by people with at least as much credibility as the author) -- is an example of this, I was pleasantly surprised by the national grid map under /data and the use of math rendering, which at least surpass the complexity of writing a HTML 1.1 compliant site.

The use of CC0 is a variable choice -- some want their work to be more forcibly public, but I guess I see her viewpoint.

As for her gripe on the opacity of code minification, I can't say I understand that. Just make your site source code open and obvious to remake, as she did with grid. It's the same result, but with the added benefit of less JS bytes for when you do do something more complex.

Cool I guess. Dark mode is broken on darkreader on this site tho.

Actually, you're the main character. I'm out of render distance and am only visible by coordinate pointer and randomized text messages :>

I reserve some wordless music for when my sadness gets critical. That way, they always sound bittersweet without me listening them to death.

• Lourié's 5 Préludes Fragiles. Makes me feel aware of how easy I am to break at the moment, but also how pretty survivalism through fragility can be.
• Ravel's Pavane for a Dead Princess. It's not about a dead princess, just one in the past, but it makes me feel like I'm that princess, rich and sad and stepping around in a bright, cream-beige ballroom. Instead of just solely sad.
• Debussy's Images. II. Hommage à Rameau. A quiet plaintiveness with occasionally rising energy helps me tend closer to neutrality.
• Stanchinsky's Prelude in the Lydian Mode. As the n-tuplets get desperate, I get desperate to fix everything. But then the curses stop and we return to a pretty but occasionally sickly quiet. The nonsenses are pinpricks in its floral thoughts.
• Glinka/Balakirev's The Lark. Reminds me that I'm fluttering, not just floundering.

In any order, but I usually start with the Fragile Preludes (especially the middle few of the set). Lyrical songs are usually for higher energy/mood to me
