A random stranger said I reminded her of a girlfriend she had in her younger years. I don't know how I should be feeling, but I feel gender and happy.

The enemy in feminism is the patriarchy and toxic masculinity.

Not men.

Read that again.

Men also suffer under patriarchy and plenty of women reinforce toxic masculinity in men.

Hating men is not in fact part of feminism.

Why is it called "selfhosting" and not "subsistence server farming"? ​:neocat_think_owo:

I want smaller programs with fewer features that take longer to write by people who are happier to do so and I’m not kidding

@JulieSqveakaroo 1. Integrating the I-inclusive progress pride flag into a pac-roo is brilliant. :3

2. NO, DON'T EAT THE INTERSEX PRIDE DOT!

3. Okay, wait, is that actually some sort of new pride power pellet instead?

after years of digging and research, i finally found the toolkit that was used to make MS multimedia software Encarta, Dinosaurs and Dangerous Creatures.

when i fell in love with these programs, i imagined they were built with a rich multimedia authoring environment/IDE like Macromedia Director. e.g. dragging and dropping images, sounds, text and video onto a stage, animating it with keyframes, and then scripting it for interaction.

the toolkit used was, as it turns out, a very roughly hewn collection of individual programs. there was no IDE. all of the content was written in RTF files, which were then compiled with links to external resources like wavs and avi's.

i cannot imagine what a nightmare this was for the MS Home teams to work with. there is no drag and drop of any kind, no object linking and embedding (OLÉ!), nor animation editor. this is a dog's breakfast of individual programs written by different people.

i'm frankly amazed that the MS Homes teams put together such well-designed programs *despite* how painful this toolkit is to use

the one thing i can say in its favour is that it has one badass tetricube logo for cover art :D

huge thank you to @philpem for archiving this extremely obscure piece of software
