A person just “stole” Triton, my native omg.lol client, and removed all the references from the README file where I ask people to reference the original project and give me credit for the app.

They didn’t fork it, so that people don’t realize it’s a fork of another project.

They also changed their README file to point to their own zip file, which I’m not downloading, and neither should you. I don’t know what’s in it.

They even created a website, hosted on GitHub Pages, for it, with a link to their “builds.”

That pisses me off. Really. I spent years building the app. I put a lot of my personal time into building it for me and for the community, only for someone to steal it as theirs, publish builds, and wipe my name from it.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Help me with a Star on the original project to keep it higher in search results. Thanks!

Building in #11ty sure does scratch an itch. I love love designing structure and doing an information architecture. It's the same feeling I get when I design a good excel workbook lol.

I'm back working on my #digitalgarden template based on fromjason.xyz and powered by #11ty. 🎉🎉

I finished the design and now I'm working on the structure. I'm fixing all the quirks I didn't foresee in making fromjason, and I'm adding new functionality.

Idk what I'll do with it when I'm done. Selling the template sure is appealing only cause I could use the money lol. But, I also like the idea of contributing to the 11ty community and giving it away for free.

Anyway, I'm excited to share!

A horse walks into a bar. The barkeep asks if it's an alcoholic. The horse replies, 'I don't think I am,' and promptly disappears.

Students of philosophy giggle, being familiar with the philosophical proposition of 'Cogito ergo sum': To explain beforehand would be putting Descartes before the horse.

Let that sink in. Even one of the loud and vocal AI proponents such as @simon admits

“I no longer have a firm mental model of what they can do and how they work, which means each additional feature becomes harder to reason about, eventually leading me to lose the ability to make confident decisions about where to go next.”

Not afraid of many things AI can inflict on my life, but I’m personally very much afraid of acquired helplessness such as this.

As angry as OP is, I don't think they're nearly as angry as they could be. Allow me to stoke the fire a little bit.

I have used damn near every single mainstream communications medium on the Internet since about the early 2000's. You know how Discord managed to establish dominance?

By being the *least fucking awful*.

By *giving a shit about the user experience*.

By not having their contributors/community shit all over things users like and refuse to implement because they personally don't want color, bold, italic, or underlines, in _their_ text, and adding options to turn those off just for them would just be _too hard_. So as a result, users still get those things by abusing Unicode characters (esp. for math), which produces a usability fucking nightmare for screen readers, which prompts other assholes to say "well the screen readers need to adapt and start trying to read text like that as normal text" when the entire point of having special characters is they have dedicated semantic meaning.

By having the first voice chat I've experienced reliably working basically every single time I click it. For me, Skype was never that good. The closest/best other thing for voice chat was fucking IParty.

By doing the logical thing and putting all the various big groups you might want to communicate in into one window, and by holding onto transcripts and making them searchable in-app so I don't have to (1) worry about whether my backups are okay and (2) `grep` through a bunch of big-ass files for the one thing I need to remember.

I've seen criticisms about something being an "everything app" or "not everything should be in one place" but what those criticisms UNIVERSALLY fail to address is that this one place beats every. single. other. *specific.* place. on their *home. fucking. turf.* In practically every way that matters.

And that's how we fucking got here.

I mostly don't like notifications: they keep interrupting me when I'm working. Another reason is that most types of notifications don't persist. I have to react at once, at least enough to write down a reminder, or I'll miss what happened. I prefer the inbox model of email: new stuff lands in the inbox and can check them when I have time, and stuff stays in inbox until I remove it, which means I don't miss stuff so much.

I think people who reply to any pushback anyone makes to outrageous stories with something like “they only post these stories so you’ll get mad and engage for views, stop falling for it” are only doing that so I’ll get mad and engage with them for views, and I’m going to stop falling for it.

Seeing another round of people mocking audiophile cables with “gold-plated voodoo”. Guys, gold-plated connectors are genuinely corrosion-resistant and CHEAP. If you want to mock oxygen-free silver cables hand-twisted by Tibetan monks, go for it, but gold plating is neither overpriced nor woo.

“The transformation has been bewildering. It feels like the blink of an eye, though I guess it’s been about three years. The culture has changed immensely in that short time. When I identified with the programmer culture, it was about programming. Now programming is a means to an end ("let’s see how fast we can build a surveillance state!") or simply an unwanted chore to be avoided.”

Couple of small https://some.pics improvements:

1. Picture tags are now included in the RSS feed.

2. If you tag a pic with "nsfw", it’ll receive a special little NSFW UI treatment (blurred, and with an NSFW label), and in the RSS feed the text "NSFW" will appear in place of the image (but the link to the image will remain in place).

And since we’re talking NSFW stuff, here’s a link to the page with the some.pics community guidelines: https://home.omg.lol/info/picture-sharing 🙈

Social media influencers are what you get when everyone thinks they can rise above capitalism instead of working together to fix our problems.

Technocracy is taking hold and the people with the biggest microphones are being bribed to look the other way, or, worse, actively help technocrats grab power.

Epstein was a key figure in the Oslo & Abraham Accords, which undermined Palestinian sovereignty.

And the architect of Oslo, Terje Rod-Larsen, was deeply embedded in Epstein's inner circle.

He "facilitated visas for Jeffrey Epstein’s victims & was listed for a $10m payout" from Epstein.

Rod-Larsen’s wife, Mona Juul, was also pivotal in the Oslo negotiations & has resigned as ambassador to Jordan-Iraq.
