A narrative? Like, “Not only am I naked, I’m on my way to… water the plants. They are thirsty, and so am I… In the background, dimly lit, you can see an ESP32 microcontroller… yup, that’s the kind of guy I am… oh my, I can do pulse width modulation with my bare hands…”

I haven’t tried typst, how does it compare to plain TeX?

As a TeX hobbyist, I would argue that they serve slightly different purposes. Plain TeX is for typography, the workflow is that of low level control where your human judgement is needed for interventions and decisions. LaTeX serves a different purpose, it aides the author of a text to focus on the content while abstracting away the underlying inherent problems in fitting letters on a page. TeX is small, difficult, but simple. LaTeX is huge, with 30 years of abstractions built on top of abstractions, until nowadays few people know how to actually deal with an overfull or underfull hbox the right way.

OP, did you get the answers to your questions? It seems like there was a bit of confusion if you meant a community or an instance.

An instance is the whole server, like for example feddit.uk or lemmy.world, or piefed social. Each instance contains many communities. For this you need to do some installing and configuring on a server that you buy or rent.

A community is like a “subreddit”, that runs on an instance. Devoted to some subject or general idea like news, knitting, or cats. This you need no programming or systems administration to do, it’s all clicking in a browser.

If I may ask, where are you from? The city I live in is a nightmare for cars, the roads were made for horses and walking, narrow and winding cobblestone streets and the city tries its best to keep cars out of the center.

ANDRUM or FJÄTTRA could work.

I was thinking more about legal actions. But then again torrents need trackers and search sites. It seems like it’s hard to shut down pirate bay though. I just have a feeling that usenet flies under the radar a bit, but if it became mainstream, it might be easier to shut down a server than a shifting swarm of peers?

Doesn’t this also mean that the server can be a single point of failure? Whereas in a torrent swarm it’s distributed and more resilient?

Beginning of the end should mean that it’s still part of the end, just, the beginning of it, like “början på slutet”. To me “startslutet” sounds like the end of the start.

Aha, I see, thanks for clarifying.

South Africa? System Administration? Sturmabteilung? Sleep Apnea?

It would be neat if different front-ends catered to different types of users who wanted different aspects, but that there was an underlying compatibility that also worked better. If I understand it correctly, mastodon has implemented activitypub in a way where each post doesnt hold a reference to the entire thread hierarchy (as lemmy has), so it’s difficult for mastodon software to construct hierarchies of replies in the same way, or at least it’s more expensive to traverse. There’s some differences in how groups are interpreted, as a hash tag or as a community. I’d rather be able to use one account and have the option to view activities in different ways, but now the implementations differ. That’s the interoperability I mean that doesn’t defeat decentralization.

How do you mean? To me a network is decentralized if there isn’t one controlling company or organization. In the fediverse, I can set up my own instance of mastodon/lemmy/honk/whatever. The fact that I can use honk to follow people on mastodon and interact with them in a smooth way is interoperability to me. I don’t need both a honk account and a mastodon account. This is a good thing imho. I can choose which software to run, or which home server to join, and still interact with people using different servers.

Could this be an XY problem? Maybe instead of having several accounts and a way to log in everywhere easily, the problem is lacking interoperability? It’s hard to follow lemmy from mastodon, for example, but what if that was easy? Then you wouldn’t need both a lemmy account and a mastodon account, one would be enough to use different aspects of the fediverse.

The Will To Change by bell hooks. It was the first time ever I felt seen as a human by a feminist writer.

I checked the news in the biggest newspaper in sweden, and there’s this story about a bus that scraped the roof while driving under a bridge. Must have been scary for the passengers. Luckily it wasn’t going that fast. And there’s a list of schools where you actually get paid to study so you don’t need student loans.

ed(1) but with a left pane and right pane, where the left had the content of the file and scrolled to where you are editing and the right is just regular ed output.

There’s no reception inside a person though, so you can’t call the phone to make it vibrate.

Does these costs count towards the högkostnadsskydd? (cost ceiling)

Yes, sorry I fumbled the wording, I meant to say it makes me wonder what the other chinese factory workers make and under which conditions they work compared to the chinese workers that make fairphones. Maybe it’s all propaganda and fairphone uses slave labour, but that would surprise me. Another thing I thought about is that tech is just more expensive in europe in general. It’s common that we pay 20% more for the same phone or laptop in europe compared to the US.
