I believe this is the article that kicked off support for the idea. Thankfully it’s not a Medium-requires-an-account article

Thank you, that’s one I’m going to read.

“Toxic masculinity,” for instance, a lot of people misunderstand to mean that masculinity is toxic.

Whatt‽‽ ϞϞ(๑⚈ ○ ⚈๑) I thought I was practicing the non toxic version of masculinity!

But I don’t know if this challenge to them is the same as a challenge to Popper.

Well, thanks for the link, in any case. My reading comprehension and analytic skills aren’t completely undeveloped, and while I’ve been known to fall for brief periods for clever sounding schemes*, I’m generally skeptical enough to read between the lines.

I think I have to admit I don’t actually know what Popper has to say on the matter. Though, I get the impression these two authors might agree, at least broadly, and are simply viewing the same problem through different lenses.

He wasn’t the first, but he was the first to really coin the term that stuck. It’s hard to read, if for no other reason than it’s philosophy and my eyes tend to glaze over.

That is, resolving the paradox might be interesting to someone if paradoxes bother them

Yeah, I think it’s a paradox only to absolutists, and I distrust absolutists. There are physical laws of nature that are absolute, and even then we find exceptions; but trying to hold to philosophical absolutes leads to people like Ayn Rand, and Libertarians. So, to paraphrase possibly the best scene in any movie ever, “the code is more what you call guidelines, than actual rules”.

• I once thought flat tax was a great idea, believing it’d get us closer to European-style “finally I don’t have to sorry about this shit for two while months every year” taxes; before a friend pointed out the disproportionate impact a flat tax has on different economic stratuses. Stratusi? Whatever.

Is there a source for that response? It sounds good, and I’d like to read a reasoned argument for the paraphrase.

That’s a decent solution. I was referring to The Paradox of Tolerance. You can disagree with Popper, but it’ll take more that a couple of sentences in Lemme to convince me.

So, you’re on favor of enslaving robots.

My problem is that I absolutely loath gardening. I love the gardens; I hate the upkeep. Weeding, tending, watering, repotting, fertilizing, pruning… I’d rather clean toilets. It’s so hard on my back, I’m miserable being outside when it’s hot or humid, and we don’t control the weather.

Someone’s taking care of all that. It’s lovely… if it’s someone else.

The Paradox of Tolerance says intolerance must not be tolerated.

Crush them. Brutally, if necessary.

That only means there are whole generations who haven’t yet seen it!

I love this idea so much.

Aww, 'cmon, man! At least add a “spoiler alert!”

Jeez.

That’d take some of the fun out of it, I guess.

finger, yes, but IIRC I just manually edited a .finger file - I don’t remember chfn.

Also, I haven’t used finger in such a long time; since soon after the eternal September, probably. So many contacts never had finger info, it became not worth the effort to even check for it.

☹️

I seem to be the minority here, but, while I’d press the button, I wouldn’t mash it or press it a bunch of times, or eagerly press it… because periods. And PMS. And misogyny. But, mostly periods.

I think being a girl has some pretty sucky parts that is guys completely avoid, and for which I’m really grateful. And I think a lot of dudes who fantasize about transitioning sort of skip over, although I guess with no ovaries trans women get to avoid the worst of it. Although they still have to deal with the patriarchy, and that’s pretty shitty.

So, yeah. I’d press it, but with some trepidation.

Use an OS for 20 years and still learn about new command every once in a while.

We really liked the flavor of Elmhurst, but it doesn’t foam at all, so for mocchas I use Better Than Milk. We tried the Elmhurst Barista blend and it tasted… bad. As in, it had gone bad. Elmhurst sent us a replacement, but that tasted just as awful. So I’ve been avoiding those; maybe other brands would be better.

My wife has an autoimmune disease that’s triggered by a laundry list of random foods - from cabbage and carrots, to hazelnuts, to any dairy product. She can eat any meat; it’s truly bizarre. But luckily, oat milks are OK, and they work well in recipes and don’t add any odd flavor, like coconut milk does.

Anyway, Better Than Milk is easy to find, it foams spectacularly, and it tastes good. I’ll try their barista blend, though; thanks for the recommendation.

I’m a little bitter that my wife’s Better Than Milk foams better than my whole milk; it makes better-looking latte’s, with perfect foam.

Comes in boxes exactly like that, which made me think of it.

Hugo isn’t a server, per se. It’s basically just a template engine. It was originally focused on turning markdown into web pages, with some extra functionality around generating indexes and cross-references that are really what set it apart from just a simple rendering engine. And by now, much of its value is in the huge number of site templates built for Hugo. But what Hugo does is takes some metadata, whatever markdown content you have, and it generates a static web site. You still need a web server pointed at the generated content. You run Hugo on demand to regenerate the site whenever there’s new content (although, there is a “watch” mode, where it’ll watch for changes and regenerate the site in response). It’s a little fancier than that; it doesn’t regenerate content that hasn’t changed. You can have it create whatever output format you want - mine generates both HTML and gmi (Gemini) sites from the same markdown. But that’s it: at its core, it’s a static site template rendering engine.

It is absolutely suitable for creating a portfolio site. Many of the templates are indeed such. And it’s not hard to make your own templates, if you know the front-end technologies.

It depends on how you want to write. If you want to use a web interface, WriteFreely is decent. If you like your text editor, Hugo is fantastic.

:shrug:

It’s trivial to host yourself, and super light on resources. Personally, I don’t use it; for blogging I write markdown and rsync it over to the server where Hugo picks it up and turns it into a blog. Now that I think about it, I should probably go shut my WriteFreely down. I have a few pages on it, but I hate web app interfaces, so I didn’t put much content in it.

Oh. The more you know, I guess.

I think I’m on the wrong channel.

Can’t tell if it’s misspelled “Cock” or misspelled “Glock,” or something I’ve never heard of called “Glock.”
