does so much american culture feel like advertising? like even stuff that isn’t an ad is still half the time “i bought this or was paid by them so go forth and consume”
I was reading a bit about the history of Etherpad. I totally didn't realize that it was originally built by a startup (AppJet) that was acquihired by Google to integrate into Google Wave, and that it had real time editing *before* Google Docs.

The PRINTOUT output formatting function of Interlisp is similar to Common Lisp's FORMAT but also allows control over fonts and text attributes. In this example the first T is like the T stream of FORMAT, the second like ~%. The comma outputs a space.

Actually, has the burning of #bonkwave to a CD been documented before? Am I the pioneer burninator?
hey if i wanted to use a linux distro that won't make me suicidal and is also not ubuntu, which would i use?
I'd alluded earlier to the fact that I'm auditing the wikis of various Linux distros - BSDs are also on my radar.
I'm on a general crusade to promote free/open source boot firmware projects, such as coreboot. I myself am the founder and maintainer of Libreboot, a popular coreboot distro, but Libreboot has this page linking other firmware projects, including other coreboot distros:
https://libreboot.org/other.html
I'm essentially replicating this on distro wikis, to promote coreboot and other projects.
I asked why Invidious seems broken and the community answered: Google blocks Invidious server IPs. One person, @FrankBlack78 , responded suggesting FreeTube or NewPipe:
https://freetubeapp.io/ - desktop client
https://newpipe.net/ - for Android
Honestly, these seem like much better solutions since they then rely exclusively on the user's and Google's bandwidth; no need for servers with big fat pipes to the internet.
They offer full interfaces, with search!
Of course, yt-dlp is great too.
i've barely done any tech stuff since the year started.
pretty much all my time has been taken up with the demands of meatspace.
my attention has been almost completely consumed by politics.

my life has been very, very busy.
what started in the first weeks of january 2025 has only really just now concluded.

I have determined that the Debian wiki is shit. Absolute shit. Especially the installation instructions. So I've made it my mission to thoroughly audit their wiki, and I've been making changes. For example, on the installation page, the section pertaining to installation media did not actually say how to *boot the installation media*, so I added a stub at the beginning of it linking to the article about UEFI, which does contain such info.

I'm auditing other distros too.
