it doesn't even do any of the main things i want it to do yet, this is so far mostly setup/pretext

did you know that you can chat online with the actual real official mascot of the commodore amiga line of personal computers right here? wow!

If you begin #StarTrek: Voyager episode Spirit Folk at exactly 11:49:35 on #NewYearsEve, Ensign Harry Kim will kiss a cow as the clock strikes midnight. Join in our very dumb annual tradition and start 2025 off on the right hoof.

@JorgeStolfi you're clearly a bad actor so i'm going to put this link here for anyone else who comes across your reply and block you now adamtuttle.codes/blog/2021/tab 👋

@boo_ there were... more issues in that organisation than the indent style

i love python for enforcing consistent indentation in code. i hate PEP 8 for choosing the wrong one

arguments against space as indentation:

  • lack of accessibility
  • lack of standardisation (i have seen, no joke, a codebase i worked on professionally with 3 spaces per level. and we were forced to maintain it)
  • confusion when inputting depending on editor (if your tab key produces tabs not spaces, you have to press space several times per level to match rest of file)

arguments against tab as indentation:

  • nhgguuuhh i don't know how to make tab smaller in my editor waaaah

does anyone know of a
blog-like cms with features:
- self-hostable
- subscribe to posts with email
- rss
- activityPub
- supports images upload
- posts in markdown in webUI
- smolweb/minimalist
- no nodeJS

plz boost :boost_anim_sleeping:

@luka grav hits most points, there is a plugin for rss, i think the only thing i have never tried to do with it is AP, it's flat-file PHP needing no JS or SQL, the admin ui is very good and posts in markdown (WYSIWYG editor available as a plugin)

my entire website, blog included, is built with it: maple.pet

@hipsterelectron not sure what import export would be in this case but at least webgbcam works without it

for as much as i despise the ubiquity of javascript and the paradigm of web browser as an operating system, index.html and app.js is the quickest and lowest entry barrier to getting a cross-platform client-side program as a by-product of enshittification
