Can you share examples? 🤔

Been forcing myself to use vim more often, just because it honestly does run better on my machines. The mode-based UX still hasn’t grown on me, but I’m getting used to it.

On the positive side, I’m using vimwiki again, and it definitely fits my needs better than zim-desktop, or running a full-blown wiki on a webserver.

@bender@twtxt.net thanks for this! Do you remember the numerous times that I have stated the nuances between distributed networks and decentralized networks? With Bluesky it’s even worse as the way they are operating building and maintaining their service, It’s more closer to centralized service than anything remotely close to what we would consider “decentralized”.

In-reply-to » @prologic what do we make of Labor's proposed social media minimum age ban, I.e ID verification, and the likes of Yarn? I haven't been able to find out exactly how far the legislation goes, but some have said it's broad enough to include any site that even has a comment section 🤔 but that could be FUD.

Btw the way, here’s a copy of the Email I sent to my Federal MP (Elizabeth Watson Brown):

In-reply-to » Time to rotate three months into archive feeds again.

@bender@twtxt.net My made-up rule is to keep at least three full months in the main feed and when rotating, I create one feed per month.

@doesnm@doesnm.p.psf.lt There is no real recommendation I think. But if you hit half a MiB or so, it might be worth considering to rotate in order to keep the network traffic low. People with bad connectivitiy might appreciate it. I want to implement HTTP range requests in my client rewrite at some point in time (but first, it has to become kinda usable, though).

In-reply-to » Always has been. Web spec is too hard to implement your own web browser from scratch (nothing can, even Google and Apple, they forked KHTML). So if we not count forks we have only three browsers: Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Apple Safari

@doesnm@doesnm.p.psf.lt I think that, just like a river’s waters (always new, never the same), there is nothing left of KHTML on any browser which was initially based on it. KHTML was a fork of khtmlw itself, if you want to go down that rabbit hole.
