neocities is really one of the best things on the web, embodying so much of the spirit of what it means to use hypertext
makes me think if the solution to leaving web is to 'do a gemini' but for HTML--deliberately designing a protocol that is incompatible with the worst parts of HTML.
it's not altogether that difficult--just look at the simplicity of the gemini RFC
just wondering about it--from memory, most of the coding back during the geocities/myspace era was probably just copying and pasting little snippets here and there
i suppose the methodical way would be to step through the HTML5 standard and removing every element that contradicts our requirements
anyway, food for thought...
- all the BASIC media resources required to make an educational series are ready
- i am reactivating the people's @permacomputer project
- need to add the rest of the blog posts to vidak.solarpunk.au
I call this meeting of the Shadowy Cabal of Consumer Enshittification to order. Welcome to our new member Number Seven.
Uh, hi. Wait, is that really what SCCE stands for. That’s unbelievable.
We know, it makes our job so much easier that people who try to blow the whistle on our existence sound like cranks. Number One Emeritus, who crafted our brand, is a marketing genius.

Intel ME? How about Intel YOU?
Yes, you.
Sorry, this was in my head and I needed to dump it somewhere.
New Libreboot release coming soon
Was recently reminded about this glorious moment in time: A real-time-turn-based-play-by-e-mail-hybrid by the tactics master himself, Julian Gollop. Never seen anything like it since. Anyone remember playing this? It’s not quite retro gaming yet, so not sure how to hashtag it… 😅 #JulianGollop #LaserSquad

sometimes i wonder, do we even need an operating system?
to this day we still ignore the obvious: that general purpose computing is frequently not needed for every computing domain.
anyway i still think every language should use block scope like python because fucking fuck
Mistodon: I'd say that this #PLAYSCII piece by @piaille.fr@/yenenpeuplou, released a year ago in the MIST1121 artpack, was prophetic, but really when has resistance been bad advice in our lifetimes? Instead I'll say we post this to commemorate the recent death of #BASIC co-inventor #ThomasEKurtz.
@mdhughes i am assuming eventual primitive clean room conditions, perhaps the recovery and maintenance of what few electron microscopes are left
have you heard of sam zeloof? we can do intel 4004's in the backyard as of now
@ozzelot @xChaos well i am really just imagining kansas city encoding:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kansas_City_standard
so i think it may accommodate recording technologies that we would normally consider quite poor!
long play records--can you press them at home? i would ordinarily imagine them to be worth using for long-term, high integrity data storage?
