@npub1qu5…4evr honestly your talk in 2019 and subsequently following you has been such a rabbit hole for me that ended up getting me so much more excited about computers than I'd been in a long time.

So surreal to be preparing to go to #xoxofest again after a 5-year hiatus, especially since this will be the last one. Hard to overstate how much this event transformed my life over 2017—2019.

idea: fail-forward video game where losing boss battles (or whatever) doesn't stop progression and instead adjusts variables on what ending you get. but the ending you get for acing every battle first try is the "bad ending".

ttrpg designers make a 1shot game that isn’t about Endings (watching something die, an inevitable downfall, a final showdown) challenge [impossible]

landfills were invented within human memory. the trash can as we understand it is a 20th-century invention. disposability as a concept had to be invented. none of this is inevitable or necessary.

Always thinking about how in many non-english languages, using subjective adjectives is implicitly understood to be a personal opinion: if I say something is "bad" everyone reads that as meaning that I don't like the thing.
But in english-speaking cultures a statement like that is taken as a sort of like, ontological warfare – a desire to see institutional power wipe that thing from reality.
And it's not wrong to be afraid of that! That's how the our winner-take-all culture really operates

this phenomenon where trans women have an easier time carving out niches in male-dominated spaced than anywhere else… fedi, mtg tournaments, speedrunning, etc. it’s a little exhausting really. especially when we get propped up in this “see? we’re inclusive” kind of way when the underlying problem usually hasn’t been addressed — men in these spaces just see us as unthreatening and undesirable

why is it that there are a million chromium-based browsers but none (afaik) based on firefox? have they not built a reusable core for it or is there some other reason

“In 2000, Sam Lea converted his once-productive Willamette Valley onion field back into wetlands. The third-generation Oregon farmer excavated several ponds and largely left the land alone. Soon, willows arrived on the wind. Then tule appeared. About five years ago, he noticed wapato had sprouted. The edible tuber, a traditional food for Pacific Northwest Indigenous peoples, is now flourishing. [..] ‘If you look at it now, you’d think we planted it all,’ Lea said”

@npub1y7x…jrl4 do people actually tend to credit the end of the Vietnam war to protest rather than to other external factors? I should know more about this than I do.

2023-11-03 16:19:01

has a protest movement in the US ever successfully stopped a war?

@npub1mdk…aptk think I’m gonna keep this one vague to avoid picking any fights online lol

really wish people knew the difference between “accessibility” and “mass-market appeal” as concepts
