@movq@www.uninformativ.de “How does one interpret those numbers? Does it mean that people usually died at about 30 years or is that really an average, meaning lots of children died but those who survived still reached something like 70 years?” -> It’s the mean, so there is a lot of bias in there w/r to infant mortality. I don’t know about median age of death.

@niplav@niplav.github.io I like it, but you probably shouldn’t take only my word for it. I suspect it’s piggybacking a lot off of how much I liked its SNES predecessor and know/like the vibe of * Mana games. Also, the last three JRPGs I’ve played were Dragon’s Dogma, NieR:Automata, and…Chrono Trigger. I don’t know what’s good and new in JRPGs ever since Square left Nintendo. I’m just glad they’re back.

↳ In-reply-to » Pinboard describes itself as "Social bookmarking for introverts". Maybe txtxt is social networking for introverts.

Or maybe that’s old-school twtxt, and twtxt.net is those people who’re constantly trying to coax the introverts out. ;-)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de “Random thought: Would be great if you could do for i in ...; do something "$i" & done ; wait in a Shell script, but with the Shell only spawning one process per CPU.” -> Interesting which annoyances stay in the back of the head – I’d never articulated this, but it’s absolutely true that this would be great.

@adi@twtxt.net “@niplav Your reasoning is that if Zeus would create mistresses he would create too many people?” -> Nope, that he wouldn’t be able to control them (since they are only slightly less powerful than him), and “you cannot put down what you have conjured up”

Sure. I think search, if it’s going to exist, should be the client’s responsibility. But I also value the readability of the raw twtxt file a lot more than y’all do.

@(frogorbits.com) @niplav@niplav.github.io “I sign a lot less stuff these days now that my phone can pretend to be a credit card. Also: an impostor with a quantum computer can’t pretend to sign documents on my behalf…” -> It’s good that pen signatures are completely unfakeable. They’re unbelievably reliable. We can’t just copy & photoshop around the edges. Better worry about those definitely-soon-to-exist quantum computers that might crack cryptography.
