I’m currently working on my own “standard library” for Fennel which is going to include things like (map) and (filter) that are (deliberately) not included in Fennel by itself

trying to learn Fennel feels like learning programming all over again. so much of how Lisps work runs completely contrary to everything that I learned about programming. I do think I’m enjoying the challenge but wow even trivial programs leave me mentally exhausted

I feel like modern mainstream art is terrified of having anything resembling unironic optimism or positivity and that needs to change

*cough* Cyberpunk 2077 *cough*

also every piece of dystopian fiction needs to present a proactive way forward or all it’s doing is feeding the apathetic doomerist zeitgeist

we need to bring back utopian fiction because most people in 2025 genuinely can’t imagine what a better world would look like

If you want people to switch away from discord you need to invent a platform that is convenient to use and that one-ups discord in some major way that would attract all of discord current users and can act as a drop in replacement and is worth it to the user to decide to switch or use both on their own
You can’t force the user. Campaigning isn’t gonna work. I don’t see discord going away anytime soon

How to set up Windows 11 with a local, offline, non-Microsoft account during installation.

Keep the PC disconnected from the internet. When the installer gets to the network connection screen, do this:

1. Press Shift and F10 keys for command prompt.

2. Type: oobe\bypassnro

3. Press enter.

The PC will reboot and return to setup, but this time you'll see an option to skip network connection by clicking “I don’t have internet" at the bottom right.

Now you can make a local, offline account. ✅

With many people cancelling their streaming services, we want to point out that many of the films in our library stream for free!

They may be on free platforms like Kanopy, or the filmmakers may put them on YouTube or Vimeo. Some filmmakers also offer special free educational licenses or even packages.

The educational game in our collection called "Walden, a game", also offers a free version to educators.

How to find our free films
1. Check out the films in our resource library.
2. Look for viewing details in the "Where to Watch" section of a film's page.
3. If that takes you to a link on JustWatch.com, make sure to adjust the site to your own country settings for local results.

If you have questions about our films and film guides, please ask! We're here to help and we love connecting people with great films and teaching tools. 1/2

Android published new APIs that seem to confirm that your phone will phone home when you install apps. It will refuse installation when you are offline or developer got blocked by Google:

so, I have been having this recurring issue where youtube starts buffering like mad around 10/11pm at night. playing 480p and it was stalled more than it was playing, and I have fibre.

Finally found a fix - Chrome mask. This addon for Firefox changes the browser useragent to impersonate Chrome on a per site basis. Once I did that and reloaded its worked perfectly.

Is Google/Youtube doing some fuckery to deliberately break Firefox?

What the fuck is going on with Ruby? For the moment we have to consider all gems compromised: https://pup-e.com/goodbye-rubygems.pdf

@ninafelwitch aw - fair enough. I should have guessed that you had already thought of it lol

Attention Gen Xers and boomers with registered domain names 🚨

If you, like me, put a fictitious organization in your domain name registration 25 years ago because NetSol or ICANN did not allow you to leave that field blank, recent policy changes will make that organization name the *legal owner* of your domain.

If your registrar has not already informed you of this change, I recommend going into your domain records and removing an organization if you do not have some sort of official ownership of that name just in case there is ever an ownership dispute in the future.

@ninafelwitch but… that’s clearly day city. probably around 9am city or possibly 3pm city

As long as status & hierarchy still have their hooks in you, you aren't getting free.

As long you believe that you deserve to have something that someone else doesn't, as long as it is important to you to be better than someone else, as long as you demand special respect from anyone, as long as you imagine there are people beneath you, you will not be free, because you don't want freedom: you want to be above others.
