I am on the brink of "I don't want to login." and "Do I really want this?"

Possibly the most annoying UI trend of the last few years is websites changing from

[username] - [ password ] -> Login

to

[username] -> Next -> [ password ] -> Login

but then the torah's old tweets resurfaced

XMPP and Matrix both suck, but if I had the resources to fix that, I would probably not invent a third thing, but would try to create a Matrix server and a Matrix client that don't suck.

COVID actually did something good for me:
It made me realize what an evil world we live in:
The level of govt corruption.
The climate scam.
The World Economic Forum.
The lying MSM ‘news’.
The evil socialism.
So thanks for that.

Praxis: Visual Programming for #Prolog

https://toblotron.com/blog/2022/06/05/a-preview-of-praxis-visual-programming-in-prolog/

@djsumdog @keith on the one hand I see in theory the merit of copyright and other IP protections provided that the duration is reasonably short

at the same time I also can't help feeling like fuck it, patronage systems might be inefficient and not support the same overall volume of output but at least they ensure high average quality. having an unencumbered commons and high quality works must have significant cultural value of its own. maybe it's enough to offset any loss in market efficiency

If you’re at the right place at the right time, with the right equipment, this is possible.

Last night, with guidance from https://transit-finder.com/, I positioned myself along the narrow line where the International #SpaceStation would pass between me and the nearly full moon.

I used a Fujifilm X-T4 shooting 4K video through a Celestron 8” SCT to capture the pass. Then, back at the computer this morning, put together these views with PIPP, Registax, and GIMP.

Quite pleased. My best yet.

I've gotten to the point in using Common Lisp that every other language feels clunky and dumb past the first 100 lines or so

It seems I've successfully made myself unemployable as a software engineer

What's your password strategy?

Jaa, noch über ne halbe Stunde ist heute. Also.

💙 Der Verschenkenschrank hier in der Gegend, der über Weihnachten Neujahr von den Betreibern stillgelegt wurde - "vielleicht für immer" - ist wieder offen! OH YÖH! ich hab ne große Tasche voll Kram, und ich find auch fast immer was Schönes. Ich bin SEHR froh.

💙 LaoTse, der heut vorbeikam. =)

💙 Heute Morgen schien fahle Sonne in den Raum, widergespiegelt von einer Fensterscheibe gegenüber.

„Ich weiß nicht, wie es dazu kam, dass die Natur es versäumte, in die Herzen der Menschen ein brennendes Verlangen nach Freiheit zu legen. Einen Segen, der so groß und so wünschenswert ist, dass, wenn er verloren geht, alles Übel folgt und selbst die verbleibenden Segnungen ihren Geschmack und Genuß verlieren, wegen ihrer Verderbtheit durch Knechtschaft.

Freiheit ist die einzige Freude, auf der die Menschen nicht zu bestehen scheinen; denn wenn sie sie wirklich wollten, würden sie sie bekommen. Anscheinend lehnen sie dieses wunderbare Privileg ab, weil es so leicht zu erlangen ist.“

* Etienne de La Boétie, Die Politik des Gehorsams: Der Diskurs der freiwilligen Knechtschaft
