any · textlog

anyone interested in lightweight apps especially on macOS gets my follow

I subscribe to the Tony Stark school of engineering. "Sometimes you have to run before you walk." Earlier this year, I built my own static site generator. I hate literally every static site generator out there (not joking). get-taxus.org

Hello world!

Huge flaw in the static site generator I built. That's what you get I guess when you don't have a computer science degree and you build with only surface level knowledge. You get your ass bit!

Textlog for me is a meditation to slow down. It somehow nudges me towards working on my penmanship.

Only images of handwriting allowed? I share this sentiment about textlog entirely. All my other social feeds are so "information" dense and distracting.

és így nem kell egy ilyen zöld modulba applikált, baszott nagy integrált chipet venni hozzá, pedig nem is néz ki rosszul, de jól sem

and that way you don't have to buy a fucking big integrated chip applied to a green module, even though it doesn't look bad, but it doesn't look good either

Bad people are working together to enrich themselves and slave others into rat races. Good people need to start working together too.

"we need the majority to join" - this is a very interesting point; actually we only need 3,5% 👌 Erica Chenoweth from Harvard found this from their research with Maria J. Stephan, and wrote the book "Why Civil Resistance Works". They also found that nonviolent resistance is more often successful than the violent ones. Very interesting stuff.

While learning jj, I realize how Git habituated me into being ok with its unique jargon and prickly command line interface. Unlearning Git is refreshing.

replied to:

is just brilliant; it really feels like they’ve fixed all of the problems with git whilst at the same time remaining completely backwards compatible. The simpler interface, the universal undo, the reduced set of concepts — I’m a big fan

Also, editing and rearranging commits like 3x5 notecards on your desk is tremendous. It makes using an SCM feel more like editing your work than lumbering forward.

a kis laptopnak pedig nincs elég memóriája, szóval ezt a főterminált eredetileg programozásra vettem, azt nem tudom már, mit akartam programozni vele, de pont úgy zúg, mint egy adatközpont, és hogyha egy kicsit korszerűsítem, a Gemma 4 LLM éppen visítva el fog tudni futni rajta

and the little laptop doesn't have enough memory, so I originally bought this main terminal for programming, I don't know what I wanted to program with it anymore, but it hums like a data center, and if I upgrade it a little, the Gemma 4 LLM will be able to run on it screaming

I stopped interacting much with social media years ago and am honestly not sure how to do this any more… but I like the shape of what is starting here.

replied to:

likewise. Its just nice to have an "even playing field" without any perceived hierarchy or weird material incentives to perform the way you'd be pushed to on regular SM.

replied to:

agree, no images on my screen is soothing

replied to:

Reminds me of the Kiwix offline Wikipedia "nopic" version. (I downloaded that version because it's much smaller than the full version that includes images.)

replied to:

Images are fine for me, but should be behind a link, or a small thumbnail. Non-animated. Videos too. But that’s me. They will most likely have to be hosted elsewhere, while the thumb could be here. Nah. We are ok with just text.

replied to:

Yeah, before you know it the feed becomes a collection of memes. Have to click or perhaps a browser extension that you personally see the opengraph/linked image in the feed but it's not inviting people to post them for the feed itself.

My 3yr old woke up at 5am this morning crying - not terribly uncommon - and when I went in there to check on her she just said "daddy's here" without looking at me and went back to sleep

My 3yo woke up at midnight fully believing that I was about to walk out the door and go to work.

It was only yesterday that I clicked on a Translate button to read a Japanese post. Today I see a Chinese post with English translation right below. Beautiful stuff.

Frustrated with my phone usage again tonight, I uninstalled several pointless and time-consuming apps. It’s a cycle I repeat every few months. During this cycle, I wasted a lot of time on one of those puzzle-matching games. I'm considering switching to Ubuntu Touch at this point
