Ok kids, here we go:

#Bandwagon, the open #Fediverse alternative to #Bandcamp is ready for its first steps into the light.

I have a waitlist online at
https://bandwagon.fm if you'd like to try it out.

I'm planning to build the first (dozen? I don't know) profiles in the waitlist personally, with an email questionnaire and FaceTime follow-ups if necessary.

Once I'm confident in the UX, we'll open up self-serve signups for everyone.

@jsonstein Well, there it is. The day government stopped being For the People. This is bigger than the coverage it's getting suggests.

It's all downhill from here.

simple things should be simple to do, like this in D:

void createNote( HTTPServerRequest req,HTTPServerResponse res ) {
string topic = req.form.get( "form_topic" );
string content = req.form.get( "form_content" );
render!( "created.dt", topic, content )( res );

@jsonstein It's gone straight to absurdity, because of course it has. We really need to clean up that institution.

I use #Firefox because I refuse to use #Chromium based browsers. As the IE6 times have shown us, a monoculture on the web is horrible, and it's even worse when it's a company like MS or Google in charge of the monoculture.

That said, god @mozilla keeps on making weird and boneheaded moves that make me sad that their browser is the only viable non-blink-based browser out there.

Today in History: preliminaries to Battle of Gettysburg begin, 1863.

“…elements of Major General Jubal Early's division of Ewell's corps occupied the town of Gettysburg after chasing off newly raised 26th Pennsylvania emergency militia in a series of minor skirmishes… but did not collect any significant supplies. Soldiers burned several railroad cars and a covered bridge, and destroyed nearby rails and telegraph lines. The following morning, Early departed for adjacent York County.”

When I looked skeptical, he charged: “We need someone to take control!”

As soon as he uttered those last words, he and I both knew the conversation was over. He had spilled the beans. He was impatient with the messiness and slowness of democracy. He wanted a dictator.”

“A few days ago, I was talking with a young conservative who admitted that Trump was an “odious thug”, in his words, but argued that America and the world had become such a mess that we need an odious thug as president.

“Think of Putin, Xi, Kim, Ali Khamenei, Netanyahu – they’re all odious thugs,” he said. “We need our own odious thug to stand up to them.”

I demurred, saying that direct confrontation could lead to more bloodshed, even nuclear war.”
