there's irccloud but that's more a web based client than a znc service

i'm gonna be real i still don't understand whether you're joking or being mean to me or both

while i really don't like discord as a company i think it's important to remember that the perceived barrier to entry is way smaller than irc for non-technical people. i can't tell you how many times in the IRC's heyday people expressed not wanting to join because IRC seemed difficult to use for them.

i honestly feel like IRC and its successors (discord, slack, matrix to a degree) are major internet infrastructure, and there should be a more accessible version of it that isn't owned by a corporation but we don't really have that.

i'm sorry. i just don't have the spoons to keep up with maintaining things. there was basically only one person who was using it anyway.

the factoid that brought me into the tabs camp after years of being a spaces die-hard is that tabs are better for accessibility because they allow people with specific vision needs to configure the spacing of their code more easily

i have my machine's locale set to japan because you need to in order to make utau (a voice synthesis program) work and god the yen symbol thing is so weird and kinda annoying lol. thankfully in the terminal they provide fonts you can choose that render \ correctly

good luck to you two!

let's overthrow the state and establish a just and equitable socioeconomic system

i appreciate the suggestions here too

getting laid off during a concussion has hit me p hard. been feeling more lows than highs, but i'm hanging in there. making music and playing games and waiting to get either approved or denied for unemployment

sometimes you just gotta let go

are pronouns a sandwich

now do the archie sonic reading order

oh my god wow

it would take thirty million gamers 10 years, each making one complaint every day, in order to get rid of all the stars. i think we'll be ok

jealous

everyone loves kemonomimi

ah memories

i remember in final fantasy games different save slots used different icons and it was fun to just see which ones had which icon

i have no idea how but i knew about this as a kid

Wizard of Earthsea if you want a good fantasy story with good morals. And then from there its sequels are also great.

The Dispossessed if you want an exploration of what a fully anarchist society might be like, and how it would related to a capitalist one. I hear the other stuff from that loosely related collection of books (the Hainish cycle) are also quite good.

Haven't read any of her nonfiction.

it's definitely more work but i've gone all open source on my password management and use a keepass database i share between computers using syncthing. keepass also has a mobile app that i believe lets you sync the database from a pc but i haven't tried that out yet

anyway if you don't mind some extra effort and feel technically savvy enough i thought i'd just throw it out there as an option

lol

honestly i'm the admin who set the site up i can do it whether dt likes it or not

nintendo seems to be posturing for some big event on march 31st and dang it would be great if it's the return of miiverse

i know it's wishful thinking though probably
