Epilogue: well my cousin, who was trapped in one of these loans, was just liberated from it by her husband, who paid off the balance. Rejoice!

It is so nice when technology works.
Got myself some train tickets (I like trains! 🚆 ), confirmation went to my e-mail address which I self-host using @yunohost.

I'm reading some software documentation. The software sits in a large ecosystem. The docs include a lot of links.
In reading the docs, I basically get lost. Hypertext is a graph, but I don't have an easy way to know which nodes I've visited.
Is there a tool which will take a hypertext document, construct its graph, and let you mark which nodes you've read? If not, why not?
Do I have to make this?
4 refugees died yesterday at the Polish border. Terrible weather and brutality of authorities lead to tragedy.
Yesterday in Lublin, Poland, activists painted bloody hands and wrote “4 dead, your fault” on the wall of the military base, to commemorate the victims of the Polish government, and to point out involvement of the Polish army in destabilizing the Middle East.
With fear and inaction we consent to those outrageous state cimes. Instead of 1-minute silence is the whole life in fighting!

@epilys Trying out meli today—delightful! A question: which community is more active—IRC or mailing list? 🐝🐝🐝
Please don't come to Hawaii right now. We Hawaiians and other Pacific Islanders are disproportionately getting sick & dying as our hospitals overflow, and gov is just building more morgues. Don't participate in ongoing genocide.
