How do you handle tailwind here? I really like the idea of adding tailwind but if it means using npm I think I'd rather just write my own css.

This probably makes the 6a (currently $250) the best value webcam on the market.

And twitter isn't?

That's one way of looking at it. For someone who still loves that SA forums, reddit taking all of the low effort posters and 4chan taking all the racists/incels has been a real boon to the forums.

That's the real money-maker.

Yeah, it's a good system.

Also, on the forums, you can look at anyone's rap sheet and see exactly the post that they got banned (or probated or permabanned) for. Let's you know what sort of person you are dealing with.

The SA forums have been going since 1999.

I think that the (dead, gay) Something Awful forums model is a decent solution to content moderation and monetization.

An account is 10 dollars (lifetime). If you get banned, you have to pay 10 dollars again. Permabanned = can't come back.

Premium? (dms, search, custom avatar) 10 dollars.

Change your avatar? 5 dollars.

Change someone else's avatar? 10 dollars.

Ad free? 10 dollars.

Access to archives (posts over a certain number of years old) 10 dollars.

Not too expensive and no recurring costs for good citizens, prohibitively expensive for bots/trolls.

It looks like it was exported straight from org-mode, using the author's custom css.

It’s a shame most distros are still rocking emacs 27 and not including libgccjit makes installing 28+ a pain on windows.
web-mode supports .svelte files (provided you add the engine to the alist). I haven't made anything too complicated with it but it seems to do the trick.
