The buzzwords make my head hurt. Sounds like a copypasta

IT’S DIFFERENT M’KAY

I hate how Apple users feel the need to call their computer by the brand. It really makes me cringe.

It is called “a computer”

Maybe “PC”

“box” if you really have to flex that UNIX

They should treat their computers less like a sports car and more like a van

With the amount of deaths coal power causes, we are also feeding it present day people. Also applies to any other electricity consummation

Only if there was a alternative…

Capitalism kills.

👏if you want to censor something, don’t write it 👏

Writing is a tool for communication. Writing something implies your desire to communicate it.

This might land a little controversial but I’ll go one step further and say you should not censor racial/homophobic slurs if they are not being used for offense. For example:

“I hate my cop neighbor, I heard he called my niece a f***ot”

(I obviously censored it here because lemmy prob. has a filter for that shit.)

In this sentence, I am not attacking anyone and I am simply trying to communicate a bad act done by somebody else. The message of the sentence is not homophobic in any way and me censoring the nasty word definitely didn’t change anything about the message. People can still hear that word loud and clear.

So if you think including the word would be offensive for people, and think it’s not a crucial part of your message, simply don’t write it.

“I hate my cop neighbor, I heard he called my niece a homophobic slur”

There you go. You did not communicate the word f***ot and your audience did not receive it. A successful example of self censorship

I am 20. I hate algospeak so bad. But “ahh” kinda stuck in my tongue

“ahh” feels like the sound you’d make when you try to say “ass” quickly

I feel like “ass” and “ahh” conveys different feelings so I use them interchangably. But I still cringe a bit because “ahh” originated from algospeak

What is the modern alternative for decentralized, eco friendly money?

I know monero is praised a lot by the people of penguin but that one also requires mining.

If you want something boring, use a static site generator like Hugo. But you already said you found them restrictive

I built my previous site with Ruby Mustache, an extremely simple templating thing. But I abandoned it because it got hard to maintain.

My current site is plain HTML and CSS. This is the way if you want ultimate customizability. It works pretty good and I would recommend it. Simpler is better.

Remember: Having a website was one of the ways people communicated on the net back in the day. HTML and CSS are intended to be used by regular people, they are very easy to learn. Don’t be scared of them

There is no decent WYSIWYG html editor i know of

My site

Git repo for my current site

Show me how you never programmed anything without telling me

Software should be maintained, not built and forgotten about. Windows encourages the latter, which is just straight up bad practice

Woah wtf is this the Mr. Fediverse itself
