When I was 16, our local newspaper came to our school to interview us newly graduated students. We answered some quick questions and never gave it a second thought.

The next+ day, my friend got a hold of the newspaper, and sure enough, there was a dedicated section about us. It even featured my friends name. He began to read, but realised something was off. There were quotes he never uttered. "I... never said that... wtf".

A small newspaper made up quotes supposedly by us, just to fill a blank square. From that day on, my trust in the media and even history has only gone far down. If I hear something, I always just give it a day.

@digital_carver @vim I always make portability a principle for most things, especially with vim since I frequently git clone my vimrc onto foreign machines. So OS level mods are out of the question for me.

There's simply no other way.

@freemo Oh, right. I see he made a *new* toot with the direct reply and mention. Got confused with his old one https://fosstodon.org/@brandon/105127003909323170

Gonna take some time to getting used to. Very cool though.

Oh, I thought I was going crazy. @freemo it's you who's boosting toots, right? I didn't know you could/would access group accounts.

@freemo @brandon @vim @vimtips
Oh wow. Very interesting UI and dynamic! I think I love it.

I tried emacs again.

My pinky: "nope, please stop, no".

Maybe when my ZSA Moonlander comes in. Maybe.

@freemo No worries. Great work with the new features btw! It's good to experiment.

@freemo I see. Is there a way to "fix" it? idk if it's you who's patching these features in or just plugins or something.

btw, I use a vim-keybinding-for-browser-plugin (https://github.com/gdh1995/vimium-c), which also doesn't show me any "clickable" links.

@freemo hmm, the quote UI doesn't have a dedicated button/link/way to see the original post in its own context.

Telegram is becoming the Emacs of Android/iOS, which is inevitable given the nature of those platforms. Theoretically non-unix-y bloatware, practically a gem of software. It's hard to hate on Telegram when they do so well.

Prompted by their latest release. https://telegram.org/blog/pinned-messages-locations-playlists

@cadey
My pair is arriving soon. Is it worth it? By how much?

If everyone is seemingly moving to Web-based forges because of accessibility and popularity, shouldn't we take this direction seriously and make effort to standardise federation (#ForgeFed)? I can imagine how email simply limits certain Web-forge features we take for granted.

Also, Discord is ultimate BLOAT. Mumble should suffice just fine.

@brettgilio@mstdn.social Also, your banner's bottom padding/margin seems off here.

Nice draft.
Thoughts on NestedText? I think they are similar in terms of simpicity. I see yours as more clearly defined and forgiving.

@Automata Reddit has indeed become a bloat monster.

Fortunately we have federated alternatives already. Hopefully they'll grow.
