Exactly! On their screens they would be seeing the code, but in their minds they’re seeing the structures and relationships of it all and that’s what the visuals were meant to represent to a layman audience.

WHERE DID YOU GET THIS?? It’s amazing and I must have it!!

I recently learned the term for this feeling is ‘derealization.’

And I too increasingly feel like I’m in someone’s game of The Sims and they’re just fucking with me more and more to see how insane things can get before I lose my mind.

Manual ordering of images in albums is an absolute must before I adopt any image management system. It’s wierd to me that seemingly none of the FOSS systems support it (considering that most of us are datahoading control freaks).

This roast is criminally underrated.

Good to see someone asking the right questions!

“Yes, we do have a moon base and yes, we are experiencing some bear problems.”

What a terrible day to have eyes.

Oof, this works on several levels, considering his childhood. 😬

I thought Mullvad didn’t port forward any more so torrents didn’t work with it?

Awesome, cheers!

Which courses do you recommend?

I can guarantee you have put way more thought into this than he ever has, or will.

God, I love these posts.

This post is pure unfiltered 100% awesome! I find I’m frequently having anxiety attacks these days because of… <gestures at everything>, but reading this massive in-depth writeup, just letting me soak in a hobby I love but don’t have much time for as I’d like, has relaxed me more than anything has in months. Thank you so much! 🙏 I’ll definitely be keeping an eye out for these in the future!

They Live (1988).

It’s rad!

It reminded me, very randomly, of quote from a book about urban design and how architectural ideas are introduced and accepted by the public… or not.

From this the “principle of the second man” can be formulated: it is the second man who determines whether the creation of the first man will be carried forward or destroyed…

It was a golden chance and a room full of cowards let it slip.

The book is Design of Cities by Edmund Bacon for anyone interested.

‘Fanta Menace’!!! I’m in fucking tears, how have I never heard this before!? 🤣🤣🤣

Same here! This morning’s hangover, as just one example, 100% attributable to Covid! Definitely not the decision to have highballs #5-8 last night.

I just spun up Wallabag on my server the other day to replace Omnivore. Im going to take a look at this, but does anyone have experience or thoughts on how this compares? I’m not so deep into it yet that I couldn’t switch to Linkwarden if it’s better.

My main uses would be archiving articles and highlighting passages.
