Yep. Without JS, websites are just static pages (this was the norm in the web 1.0 era). An interesting project that runs with this idea is the Gemini protocol, which is basically an alternative text-based internet.

Nutritionally speaking, there's not much problem to doing that. Meal timings do impact your circadian rhythms, so it can be beneficial to keep a consistent schedule, but outside of that, just make sure that your macros and micros are met so that you don't end up malnourished. Socially speaking, our meals are times to congregate with friends and family and everyone following their own meal schedules could make that more difficult. As we're in a time period where meatworld social spaces are dwindling, that might not be a desirable trade-off. Personally, I'm not dependent on the social aspect of food, so I just eat to fuel my exercise regimen. Breakfast and lunch are the planned meals while everything else is in response to hunger.

That's a cringe and spineless move to see from systemd.

Yes. It is pretty much exactly how we would do software development.

Now there's the featureset that you wanna see from an application like GIMP. 💪

Can confirm that getting your hands on imported chocolate is the way to go; I was shook the first time I tasted it.

Been using RSS again since ditching corporate social media. The sites with full text RSS feeds are especially nice, since reading it in your feed reader means not getting subjected to the endless stream of popups and nag-screen bullshit, which is increasingly important with the proliferation of frontend frameworks like React that won't load any content without first enabling JS for the site.

You know, the whole reason why GIMP eventually added single window mode is because people didn't like the multi-window thing that they were doing. Did Mozilla fire all of their good design people after COVID? Hope this one gets dropped.

Yeah, it's off to a strong start. The cast still has their chemistry, it's still funny, and it still walks the line between being funny and hitting you in the feels. I do think that Turk and JD's goofball humor works less now that they're older though, but there's plenty of other stuff going on such that it doesn't really matter. I'm hooked and will continue watching.

I have such mixed feelings going into this one. The original Scrubs was great and the season 8 finale was an excellent send-off for this show. They're also bringing back a lot of the original talent for this, but reboots usually suck. I'll watch it, but I hope that they exceed my expectations.

LibreWolf is just a patch set for Firefox. The user settings are stored in the profile folder, so if you just copy your old profile over, you will overwrite most of LibreWolf's changes. The about:support page contains a list of your changed about:config settings, so copy those down and move them over to your new LibreWolf profile as needed.

Of course, you could also just disable the AI crap yourself in vanilla Firefox if you don't want to part with your current profile.

Ah good, this was one of the few GTK apps that I couldn't get rid of.

I prefer native packages, but if the option is between Flatpak and no package at all, then I'd rather have the Flatpak. It's also nice that developers can package their application once and be done with it.

Somewhat. Programming is just writing step-by-step instructions for computers, which is something that little kids can do. Where small children will run into problems is anything involving abstract reasoning, since those faculties don't develop until around age 12. So while kids could easily handle something like (+ 1 2), they would struggle with:

    
(define (add x y)
    (+ x y))

  

So just be sure to keep that in mind while showing them stuff and it should go fine.

Damn, never doubt their power.

I have the theme set to "Classic" and it just uses my Qt5ct theme.

The future is probably going to be:

• Whitelist federation models with invite-only instances.
• Anubis and similar software being a base requirement for operation.
• Getting creative with stuff like picture-based logic puzzles as a type of captcha.
• A retreat into less publicly visible spaces like chat apps that you can only get access to through networking.

Yeah, and with the corporate culture that MBAs bring with them, they also tend to make everything as boring and sterile as possible since any degree of fun and personality could be seen as off-putting to a hypothetical person.

Hm, hopefully Discord takes awhile to enshittify. Sounds like the current solutions need time to polish up.

I did find out recently that the team behind the Element Matrix client made Element Call and integrated it into their apps recently, but I've never used it personally. Have you used it? How was it?
