This kinda lines up with another quiet hot take I have: I'm not very fond of bridges between networks like ActivityPub, Bluesky, Nostr, etc. Maybe on a user-by-user utility basis. But, as a network-wide thing, there's too much context collapse.

Like, sure, from a tech lens they're just protocols carrying very similar data. But, from a user lens, they're communities and cultures, even if accidental and implicit.

Hot take: Defederation is feature, not a bug. Not everyone needs to talk to everyone all the time.

The only common task I can't do in Windows 98SE is browse the modern Web (not even with Retrozilla).

The only common task I can't do in FreeDOS (updated to 1.4 just 3 months ago) is browse the modern Web.

Why do I get the feeling this is a failing of the modern Web?

Wonderful news: The #StarTrek "Deep Space Nine" documentary "What We Left Behind" is now available for free on YouTube!

This is the first time European fans can watch it legally (outside of the few public screenings that happened back in 2018 when the movie was released).

there's an entire chapter on the C64 demoscene (of which the author was a participant) but honestly, my favorite demo? no, not the ones with mind-boggling warping effects or whatever. no. my favorite is the one below, with the PETSCII-animated cats 🐈

here's the inline CSS btw:

local newspaper has some CSS to make the text really small if you're not logged in and/or you've hit your article limit. but it doesn't cover <a> tags apparently, so articles with links make interesting erasure poetry
