@otini Yes. It's based on Maxima, which is also written in Lisp. My code implements the user interface, including rendering the maths expressions. That part was the hardest part. Mainly because how to render certain things is not always obvious. You have to tweak everything so that it looks acceptable, and I'm not really good with visual design.

@danielhglus
Which version of Lisp is that? The Lisp 1.5 document I read was from the 50's.

JP really nailed this one.

Just finished configuring Firefox and Chromium for my disposable VM's in Qubes OS.

It's a lot of work to create a baseline browser configuration that is reasonably private. Even Firefox defaults to share usage information.

@mwlucas They never played in a place that were even near to where I was.

I've seen FLA live, but I never saw Skinny Puppy. It's my favourite band.

@natecull I've only ever heard it used like that.

With a The it sounds very strange. If I heard someone say that I would ask myself what Age are they referring to? And what is the old age? New Age, on the other hand, refers to a concept, or some kind of movement.

In a previous version of this post, I mentioned that Wikipedia uses this style, but looking closer I realise they don't. I find having a The in there looks really weird and not somehting I am used to seeing.

@natecull Do you have an example of phrases that you think sound weird?

@otini Another example of the latest feature: https://peertube.mastodon.host/videos/watch/b003360f-97a9-4f77-b474-e78d9bb687cb

@otini Yes. I use the same fonts as Mathjax. Here's a small video showing what it looks like:

@lnxw48a1 Wow, that's early for me. When do you wake up?

@lesbianhacker How do you feel disagreements should be handled?

I'm concerned that no matter how perfect the intentions, once there is a disagreement there will always be some party who feel that their voice was not heard.

@rose Definitely agree.

@otini Nice. Seems like we're both struggling with similar issues, as I am also writing a maths renderer. Mine is specific to Maxima though. But I'm sure you've seen me mention it before.

@otini Are you building a maths renderer?

@Elizafox I have a Facebook account, that I very rarely log in to. Whenever I do, I immediately remember why I don't do it.

It's literally a horrible experience. I can't put my finder on it, but just browsing the feed feels wrong somehow. Like I'm somewhere where I don't belong.

You're not really missing anything not being on there. Just find the phone numbers to the people you do care about and keep in touch with them (using Signal or whatever). It's more nicer.

@GeoffWozniak To be fair, they did say “if it's connected to wifi”. That's a remarkable about of honesty coming from a corporation.

No one should ever connect their TV (or any device) to the Internet if you want to stay secure.

@hellojed The one thing that makes 4 really boring is that every building you destroy are magically reconstructed once you return to the area. That makes the one thing these games is about, destroying buildings, really unsatisfying.

@hellojed Just Cause 2 was the best in the series. If you only play one, it should be that one.

I was really disappointed with both 3 and 4. Literally just creating a new map for 2 would have been a better idea.
