12pt body is fine. honestly 14pt is probably fine. no one's running 640×480 any more it's okay

hey anyone maintaining a website with cool 9pt body text, please be advised: reading it on a 1440p monitor is not /ideal/

oh, heck, WHAT, vim 8 with 'incsearch' set will highlight all matches rather than the first one also i just actually read the docs and ^L adds one character from after the current match to the end of the pattern?? ^R ^W does it for a whole word. cool

trying pikaur and already delighted that it inadvertently lets me know about all these packages i have installed that no longer exist /anywhere/, even in aur

since packer seems to be not very maintained any more (and contains at least 1 significant bug affecting me), does anyone have a favorite AUR gizmo that's similarly straightforward to use?

i, a genius, have managed to stub /both/ big toes hard enough to break the nail off (white bit only dw) within the past week

they DID IT AGAIN

(i wonder how many trans folks mad at wilw's blocklist kerfuffle have had some kind of past experience with being mass-excluded...)

this is of course all wild speculation, but that's all i've got when trying to make sense of this ok, done now i think

ah, of course. so by disputing the fictional version of myself, i'm threatening to take away their chance at redemption? which is perceived as, well, a threat, which ⓐ entrenches the story further and ⓑ provides personal "evidence" of how bad i am

so what they're really after is a satisfying conclusion for /themselves/. closure for something bad that happened to them, that's echoed in what we've supposedly done. and over time, maybe we've become a bit of a focal point for a lot of people with varied trauma? hm.

POSTSCRIPT: glip (and, i realize, fred) points out that people probably latch onto a particular story if something in it resonates with them i.e., it's not unlikely that someone with evil in their past could see it reflected in the stories about us, and see a chance for justice

i don't know where to go from here but it's something to chew on i guess. i don't really like speculating about individual motives, but maybe there's something to glean about group behavior sorry for yet another long rambly thread, i'm full of feelins

what's the practical difference between spreading a callout because you truly believe it and want to warn people, and spreading a callout because you want to be seen warning people and that takes priority over belief? from my point of view at least, not a lot

but the more i think about this, the less interesting it seems. it's no secret that we all gauge truth in part by how convenient it is: whether it fits with what we already believe, whether it would have any unfortunate implications for us, etc.
