      Can we please have a «font» tag?

      I have seen some really cool fonts linked here, that are usually tagged as «text», which makes sense, but being able to quickly find all those fonts would be great.

        but part of the fun of submitting here is the elaborate process of trying to find an appropriate tag ;)

      The photos and the story are cool, however I wish it wasn’t presented as a «story» as in Instagram stories, where you need to click to read each sentence.

        I thought that too! It doesn’t display properly in my browser :b

        Those photos are pretty dang cool though. I like coming across people doing weird things like this.

          there was a version of article on the website but it navigates similar to instagram ‘stories’ which was hard to manage. it’s a shame photographs are covered with text

      I’m glad RSS is getting some attention recently, actually I’m subscribed to tilde news via RSS. It’s my main source for news, and I’m enjoying it a lot. I hope more people switch from Twitter like services to RSS.

        I just find it a shame that we had truly decentralized standards and protocols like XMPP and RSS but big tech companies threw it all away for advertising profits.

      Did the author reinvent Spectrum? He says that computer should be input device first, that’s exactly Spectrum. You plug it into any screen and have your computer.

        I’ve not heard of Spectrum before, do you have a link/more info?

        1. 2

          Sinclair Spectrum, an 8-bit computer from the 1980s by Clive Sinclair. In the United States it was manufactured by Timex.

      Too bad the article is paywalled.

      Wow, sounds interesting, but I can’t check it now. Is there a video demo?

      Did aphex twin just gave an idea, or participated in development somehow?

      1. 0

        No idea about the level of involvement.

      Is site down?

      1. 2

        Looks like maybe it is!

        The original site is still up if you have a gemini browser:

        gemini://gemini.circumlunar.space/~solderpunk/gemlog/low-budget-p2p-content-distribution-with-git.gmi

        And here’s another web proxy:

        https://portal.mozz.us/gemini/gemini.circumlunar.space/~solderpunk/gemlog/low-budget-p2p-content-distribution-with-git.gmi

      Please let me use whatever symbols I want as my address.

      And whatever I want as my password too.

      Please.

      I don’t believe we will actually see anything new.

      It’s gonna be «we colored our menus differently, moved things around and buttons now have rounded corners» at most. That’s what people call «new version» in last 5 years.

      And it’s not just software, look at the phones. When was the last time something actually new was added? it’s just «we have more megapixels and more memory» now, nothing interesting. I can’t call any if this «new».

      For some reason survey link won’t load for me (probably has to do with some stupid internet restrictions), otherwise I would do it for sure.

      I love curl so much.

        Likewise, I’d not heard of teddit before I don’t think. Quite the lengthy post titles! :-)

        1. 0

          I really like teddit (it’s lightweight), but I wish I could «connect» my reddit account to actually see subreddits I follow on my frontpage. Any way to import subscriptions from reddit?
