You don't need to cook with salt. You don't need salt. Also, Salt is not a seasoning. If salt is a seasoning, why is there *seasoned* salt? Ha! Checkmate, atheists! You don't need salt. Cook without salt. Actually use seasonings and herbs and cook stuff right. I promise, it'll still taste like food. It'll taste better. Lemon juice > salt. USE SEASONING AND HERBS I BEG OF YOU. Let's brawl ab » Continue Reading
FUCK TRUMP Fuck every one of you who voted for him. Fuck the system for not being broken, but working just as intended. To the Queers, the Black and Brown People, The Poor, The Disabled, The Marginalized, and anyone else terrified and angry and numb and everything else: To those applicable: I know you're scared right now. I am, too. And I'm feeling despair right along with you. But remember. We wi... » Continue Reading
If you know, you know. I am only going to pivot and say a few things that are now, more important than ever. And by saying, I'll probably just end up posting links. My wordsmithing isn't great at the moment, but I've been collecting links. # The Fediverse is a viable option. It may be the only option. * https://www.fediverse.to/ * https://jointhefediverse.net/ SpaceHey will be one of the few excep... » Continue Reading
BLOG: Meandering on the Internet So I'm back to that old pattern. I keep yarping about The Old Web and so forth, but there's one thing I want to highlight separately: I've been coming across things a bit more organically. My therapist asked how I got onto the slower sites I'm on now and basically, word of mouth. Someone was discussing it or I see a 88x33 button on someone else's website. Remember ... » Continue Reading
I'm pretty content with my current profile (simple, neon colors, subtle funkiness in the background somewhere-- I'm not as fun as I used to be i guess), but that should never stop you from checking out the Layouts portion of this site. That's how I got my start into this, after all. We'd check out what other people are doing, and emulate or modify the code. Pretty soon, I had in my backpocket my f... » Continue Reading
I grew into the habit of writing things in the Markdown syntax, especially for documenting and blog post writing. So I am sad that SpaceHey doesn't incorporate it, but it makes sense. They are really committing to the bit! ;) (Markdown came out in 2004, but it wasn't more popular until now, I guess? I've seen it in README files bundled with software and in retrospect, a few forums implemented it.... » Continue Reading
> I was getting 503s when trying to post to groups today, so I copy/pasted this as well: TLDR, these links will also help noobs EDIT: https://torquemag.io/2023/02/how-to-use-mastodon/ is much more recent. * https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2018/08/mastodon-quick-start-guide/ * https://joinmastodon.org/servers * https://fedi.tips/ In addition to topics and vibe, moderation (or lack of) is another ang... » Continue Reading
--and that's fine, actually. With the death of Flash, there also went a lot of Third Places younger people can just hang out and exist with their peers. So not only am I glad to see the lil ones, but I'm elated at them rejecting the Facebooks/Twitters of the world. Y'all have that same energy I had for the Internet coming up. Tinkering and learning code, finding the "Old Web" people like me love ... » Continue Reading
