Me: Agrees that most of the technologies we've created (especially more recently) suck.

Also me: Remembers that, by historic standards, things of changed so much so quickly that it makes my head spin.

Also, also me: Hopeful that, if we can stop tilting at technological windmills, we can slow down enough to actually think about the things we're creating.

I don't know what's up with Haskell, but everytime I pacman -Syu I've got about 40 module updates waiting more me. (Also, don't install pandoc on Arch Linux unless you're okay with installing a zillion Haskell modules.)

I like that it’s smaller, but iwd only joins my WiFi network when I wake my laptop ~50% of the time. Back to wpa_supplicant.

The more I can do from a terminal, the happier I am. I think it might be the fact that it gives me a lot more control over UX, and I don't optimize to draw my attention toward advertizing or other forms of monitization.

If you use a tiling window manager and insist on gaps between your windows, then you can get off my lawn.

@JonYoder One mastodon.cloud expat to another, welcome!

Kind of lame there's no half-page down command in w3m.

Actually the real reason seems to be an IPV6 issue on fsf.org end.

Just realized I can’t access fsf.org from AT&T’s network. The hopeful part of me thinks it’s just a peering issue, but the cynical part of me wonders if this is what the Internet looks like in America post-net neutrality.

I went to a college that issued laptops to incoming freshmen. The first thing I did when I got mine was install AOL Instant Messenger and then find someone who knew how to configure the proxy server.

The OS was Windows ME. Windows XP wouldn’t be released for another two months.

My laptop would only ever be able to run the 32-bit version of XP.

I don’t have a point here. Just musing.

After a couple years of casually using w3m, I finally invested some time this morning into properly setting it up. I think it might be time to experiment with using a console browser exclusively.

#Brutaldon makes for a pretty cool experience using Mastodon on w3m.
Great work!

I kind of like systemd

Come at me

I had been feeling bad for not being excited about Peertube. Then I realized I almost never use YouTube anyway. Video just isn’t my medium.

Still, for everyone else I do hope Peertube succeeds and is able to fill an important role in the Fediverse.
