Counterculture? Do you think you have to be counterculture not to know who Paul Graham is? What the fuck lol. Ask anyone outside of your little bubble and they won't have a fucking…

This is like praising an "author" who self-publishes hundreds of AI-ghostwritten novels a day and then preemptively defending against criticism by going "He's not naive. These aren…

good for you. you're still supporting google by using a chromium-based browser

It's worth being careful with broad characterizations like this. Attributing complex policy opposition to fringe beliefs or bad faith motives oversimplifies the issue and shuts dow…

I don't have to be "interested" in seeing something on steam to disagree with nkrisc. I don't care about 99.9%+ of the games on steam, that doesn't mean I want them gone.

The issues you're talking about (surveillance capitalism, the attention economy) aren’t just browser problems. They're systemic societal and economic forces that go far beyond what…

Quoting you: > Problem: you are looking for a way to get rid of the annoying issues of the modern www. What is the solution that solves this with the least amount of work? Talk abo…

A large C file isn't inherently wrong if it's all part of the same thing.

Why do you hope it gets removed? Personally I'd prefer to keep it - removing it would be another (small, but still) step in the corporate homogenization of everything.

You're still trying to invalidate my experience because it doesn’t align with your criteria for what's “necessary.” But I'm not trying to solve your problems. I'm solving mine, in …

That's not up to you to say. If it solves the issues I have with the modern web , it is an actual solution for me. And if changing my browser or installing extensions does nothing …

You're framing this whole conversation as if there's a single, universally agreed-upon set of "problems with the modern web." You're also treating it as though the only valid solut…

That “alcoholic” metaphor? Seriously, what the hell. You don’t have to like Gemini, but reducing the people who use it to self-loathing addicts is ridiculous. I use Gemini because …

It's worth remembering that people are drawn to projects like Gemini for a range of reasons. That's not a weakness, it's a feature. One person might use it as a minimalist publishi…

Your use of "they" here is misleading. Many, if not most, people in the Gemini community see no need for Titan. The existence of a new protocol doesn’t imply that Gemini is somehow…

A movie theater where 99% of the movies are crap but universal is less interesting to me than a well curated cinematheque. What I'm wondering is why do you feel the need to dismiss…

I'm not aiming to solve the stated problem, I'm having fun with gemini.

Sure, that's fair! In any case, I personally prefer the aesthetics and the readability of gemtext to markdown (especially when it comes to links!)

What's more fun? Definitely A.

That's not narcissism - it's just someone building something they enjoy and sharing it with the world. Do you have the same objections to fiction writers or songwriters? It's total…

Being able to parse gemtext line by line with almost no context is a big win for simplicity - you can't really do that with markdown.

Turning 44 this year and none of this has hit me at all? Still staying up all night on weekends, working harder than I ever did (not more hours, though), feeling more motivated to …

Sigma currently doesn't produce any Foveon cameras - the fp, fp L and BF all use DNG.

100k would be more than double my current salary, with more than a decade of experience. US salaries are fucking insane.
