@DavidBlue I tell all the girls I match with on tinder about the semantic web, and then they stop talking to me

I still wish I had a simple way of creating and sharing small (smaller than a web page, but could be bigger) pieces of knowledge online That didn't *force* me to do it online Where 'knowledge' could include all of * Unicode text * numbers * list or array structures * data tables * rules * functions * namespaces * unnamed but distinguishable objects/structures with identical contents * unambiguous portable references to objects/structures/names in other systems/networks/databases

all the neolibs on twitter hand-wringing about how trump's twitter ban has cratered twitter's monetary value. it makes me fondly remember how ppl on tumblr high-fived each other every time tumblr is sold for less than it's purchased for and then cyber-bullied alex jones off the platform

Once again I wonder whether there's a name for the phenomenon of trying to replace existing technology (that is perceived to have grown into "unneeded complexity" over time) with something more "lightweight" - to at some point figure out this "lightweight" thing again has turned into a large and complex thing simply because the problems at hand to solve aren't trivial?

Does anyone know of a good tutorial for scripting with the ash shell (which is also part of Busybox)? I'm working on re-implementing the autonomous bits of my System Bot as a shell script becuase most OpenWRT devices don't have enough space for a full Python 3 install. What I'm having trouble with is using a list (a string with a known delimeter (CSV, here)) to store the last couple of numerical metrics gathered. That was relatively easy. What hasn't been is that I need those lists to persist outside of the function that measures the system load. No matter what nothing gets added to the string/list, and the calculated length of the list never changes. Should I bite the bullet and assume that bash is present? Or am I missing something?

social services are always idyllic in the beginning because the prime majority of original users are genuinely motivated & rewarded enough by socializing to circumvent obscurity and cumbrous experiences. (so far, Mastodon seems remarkably exempt from the latter.)

May be very ambitious, but I want to run a small, personal #Mastodon instance and have 5 real-life friends migrate to it. I want to see people being #open again like they were on #Facebook when it was new to them.

The guiding myth of capitalism, and thus of the Internet architecture built by venture capitalists, is that capital naturally flows to the competent, automatically creating a distributed, efficient, meritocracy. But it doesn't. Capital flows only and specifically to glib pitch artists who can quickly convince others with more capital that they are competent at the very narrow task of consolidating even more capital. Beyond that, it simply doesn't care whether the human species even survives.
