The thread by @xor here https://mastodon.xyz/@xor/100561289941481033 has lots of links I need to follow up on. In the mean time, I remembered that a friend of mine hosts a wiki with some strange interconnected poetry. http://bonmot.ca/composium/The_Dignified_Kitchen_--_by_Philip_J._Miner and http://bonmot.ca/composium/An_Urn_of_Cough_Drops_--_by_Dr._Spectacles_and_Mister_Miner%2c_with_Commentaries_by_R._L._Seasoning are two works in that collection that confuse me in a good way. Many years ago I also attempted to use a Tiddly Wiki for a non-linear story. https://alexschroeder.ch/rose.html I'm still not sure what I was trying to say. It was a weird dream. #hypertext

What are the best examples of hypertextual storytelling? There's this idea I've had for maybe 15 years of converting a novel to "native" hypertext such that it doesn't have any linear structure, but I don't really have the words for what that would mean

@zlg You seem to presuppose that XML is good. But before XML there were three generations of HTML that were based on SGML and browsers also worked. And the libraries I use to process documents all have XML and HTML parsers, so I just don't see the problem β unless you really like XML, of course. In that case, "tag soup" is a problem, of course.

@david_ross That's nice to hear because I've been using them for years (and I was actually disappointed in their UI design a while ago). But it all just worked and I am still a happy customer.

@PresGas I added the non-free because of the info manuals I wanted.

@ItsTheManOnTheMoon well, itβs definitely an attempt of acculturation.

I'm fascinated by bizarre bug stories.
This one (retold by my ex-Linden-Lab-colleague Mark Ferlatte) happened in the mid-2000s.
The chain of decisions that made this possible could make a book-sized history of computing.
But if you only take one lesson: please, validate your inputs.

I travelled for work four days, and every morning when the birbs woke up and left the cage, they went looking for me in all rooms of the flat ... multiple times.

@cj Hehe. Init 7 got my attention because they had some pretty strong words in favor of net neutrality a while back when people were talking about it. And they offered 1G symmetric but I guess they all do these days?

@cj Can't you use Init7 instead? I switched from UPC to Init7 for political reasons...

Finding new people to follow is hard for newbies on any platform. I'm hoping that #Trunk can help. What I need is people volunteering to be on lists so newbies can follow a bunch of people right away. Please reply to this post if you agree to be on a list. Feel free to suggest new lists that I haven't thought of. (Living in my own filter bubble, I know!) Please boost!
https://communitywiki.org/trunk
Also looking for more lists. π -

βAmong other things it requires me to provide info about all trips abroad (with dates and duration) I've done over the last 15 years. What aliases I use on social media sites (hello mr US visa agent, how do you like this post so far?), every physical address I've lived at in the last 15 years, information about all my employers the last 15 years and every email address I've used during the last 5 years.β

And that's why Mozilla can say "RSS/Atom has been in decline and support has been dropped by companies such as Google (Google Reader), or Apple (Apple Mail), or changed focus." And that's why I think we need to keep RSS/Atom despite big companies dropping support because RSS and Atom work precisely for the slow web, the small sites, for average Internet people, for us.

Mozilla plans to cut RSS feed reader and Live Bookmarks support from Firefox. I can't blame them. It's complex ("outsized maintenance and security impact"). It's the wrong UI ("not supporting any states like read"). I feel we're better served by external tools. https://www.ghacks.net/2018/07/25/mozilla-plans-to-remove-rss-feed-reader-and-live-bookmarks-support-from-firefox/
