Man if I had a coin every time I email the mods and this thing goes down, I'd strangely have two coins.

Is this HNs hug of death or has the website always been so slow :/

Edit: No I take it back. It was my derpy connection

It defines Webmention as: Digital breadcrumbs left by internet users to show they've visited a website, usually accompanied by a virtual pat on the back or a confused 'How did I end up here?'

With the humor mode on of course :)

Mozilla Social in its early days had a really cool frontend I can't seem to recall the name of. Anybody remembers?

I may be in a silly sleepy mood right now but this article is taking so long to get to the point it's agonizing!
Zotero Connector and SingleFile browser extensions work well.
Double the distaste indeed :D
I haven't been able to do that too, but, here's my experience regarding smartphone use--When I was using an Android, I'd go to accessibility settings and turn the display grayscale. It felt so /tasteless/. Like food without salt. And my smartphone use went down.

When I switched to iOS, I deliberately chose the little SE 2020 edition with a terrible battery so I wouldn't use it much and it has worked. I still click a lot of pictures, use the banking apps, whatsapp here and there, readonly email access but haven't been wasting time on it and it makes me happy :D

In fact my first smartphone ever was a BlackBerry Q10 (in 2018!), deliberately chosen to not get into smartphone addiction.

By the way, kome, would you please get in touch with me? My email's in the bio. I'd love to chat with you about your time prior to having a smartphone :)

This is so well put-together. Awesome! Thanks for sharing.
> there's a reason why some want their packages to come from the people who actually made the software

Not necessarily either. Think of the Audacity fiasco. We were very comfortable using the Debain package but not their Flatpack and obviously not the snap. I realise I'm replying to a subtext but the context is the same.

They're already done by the Debian people.

I sort of have a bad taste about this project. I'll use proper support channels and won't rant here, but what happened was that my card was being declined trying to sign up. Thought I could self-host on a linode somewhere given the code is in the public domain, but there is no documentation :/
