>the web has no practical purpose to begin with
To be fair, back in the early 90s it must have seemed like a great idea to give the writer of the document the power to specify the colour of the background and the ability to embed some pictures into the text. But as those horrible late 90s webpages showed, it only really gave people the power to waste bandwidth with unnecessary clutter. And by the 2000s it became obvious that you could also use it to track people and to build ever more centralized systems.

And in hindsight, the very idea that someone else should decide for you the exact appearance of a hypertext document is flawed. How could some random faggot know better my preferred colour scheme and font than I do? Not to mention that I like it when I can both read text and stare at fat 2D tits at the same time, which is not a feature supported by the average website. At least by now many websites have both a light and a dark colour scheme, but it's not standard, and many of those themes are quite horrible. Not to mention that websites have to support a practically infinite variety of resolution and aspect ratios, so the more elaborate and specific a website's design the less likely that it'll work as intended.

I think I agree with this. The problem is that 80% of the population is simply not fit for the internet.

>>18917
Great question, and who knows. Some people are just not fit to govern. They just operate under different assumptions other than how the world actually works.

I think it was inevitable that things would get to this point... all we can do individually, since the collective isn't enough to stop what's happening, is to cherish smaller forums and imageboards that still have the SOVL from the old internet, I genuinely love posting here even if it's slow, I'd say that's part of why I like it. I also love old dedicated forums.

But after you save the video there is no reason to run a tube site when you can just search your filesystem like a normal person for whatever video you saved. Having a fake imageboard, or talking to bots in general, in contrast is having a fake social life.

Fair. Helps save on overhead there. Might just make a wrapper html site for the illusion, at least.
>Having a fake imageboard, or talking to bots in general, in contrast is having a fake social life.
Let's be fair, posting to sleepy or tourist chan is already a fake social life. Arguably, it's worse than that. "Pissing in an ocean of piss".

The conversations I've had on imageboards are far more real and of value than anything I've gotten from real people. Also, as this is not a giant website like halfcuck, it's more of a pond. Pissing into a koi pond would kill the fish/userbase. This makes us koi rather than sharks. Fake plastic robot fish would be better than real koi as you'd not have to worry about harming the fish. Real or fake I do not want a pet  shark. I keep waiting for people to make realistic fake pets and they won't do it on a serious level to the point like you see in the original Battlestar Gallactica and such, though that thing was smarter than it needed to be for a pet. I was expecting it to go bad that entire time, but never mind. 

Yes, this was a lame excuse to post the gif. I post it unrepentant though.

NTA but it's the only social life where I can talk about a lot of the things I like without feeling judged and/or actually having someone of similar interests talk back to me about them with different takes from my own. It's nice, even if it's "fake"... and honestly, I prefer it "fake" sometimes, this has no repercussions on "real life" and important things like work, it's so chill.

hi anons (im sorry if this is off-topic) so i was basically searching a mix of links and keywords from fmhy.net on github code search (both api and web) and then manually select the good repos (in my opinion) by also considering how many times they appear; can you please tell what should be added to it? LINK: rentry.co/4g9assei (dont forget to check baccyflap.com/noai ) also heres the full index and thanks :)

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but imagemagick got some pretty bad CVEs recently, including one where a maliciously crafted .bmp could do arbitrary code execution whenever imagemagick tried to decode it. funnily enough, if you use git blame on the code that was responsible for the vulnerability, it was from a "claude assisted" commit (imagemagick has recently implemented an ai-tolerant policy)

the only comparable tool I could find besiedes graphicsmagick was this:
https://github.com/libvips/libvips

once again I'm reminded that the only effective security model is simplicity and minimizing attack surfaces. I only use this machine for recreational programming, consuming media (books and music) and browsing some sites, so I'm seriously considering ditching gentoo for a non-posix microkernel, maybe writing my own x11 server for it, maybe a smaller, custom protocol

speaking of, does anyone have resources on how to write a gui library from drawing primitives? like algorithms on how to distribute space between widgets and such. all gui toolkits from qt to imgui implement this stuff but the code is usually too idiomatic and specific to the program for me to extract any abstract insight

Eh. You don't need that to read non-code text unless you have severe forms of ADHD (which, ironically, are so severe and crippling that normalfags usually don't recognise these cases as ADHD), and especially not when you're reading text on a physical page.
>links
Hyperlinks actively harm reading comprehension by triggering brief focus breaks every time your brain quickly evaluates whether to follow the link or not.
>figures
You have a pencil. Draw your statistical charts yourself.
>HTML/PDF export
That's your main actual disadvantage.
>multitasking
Objectively less productive than focused work thanks to the overhead of mental context switching. It's another thing if you're interleaving bouts of focused work with short breaks and focused work on other things, as this'll help you work on problems in the back of your mind and assist with knowledge transfer, but if you're quickly jumping from one thing to another on your computer, the lost focus will ultimately mean you waste more time and depth of insight than you gain.

Markdown is the best for visualization, can edit anywhere and it's just a text file.
I really like Obsidian and similar apps, mostly because they are just text but you can sync, add images, etc.
The one I liked most is Anytype. Just wish it was a bit more generous with free storage, 100MB is like e-mail in the 00s.

If you really really want something fancy and fully custom just use html, it's what everyone uses and will be using for decades.
Works for mobile too. If you want it you can add fonts, Javascript, CSS and whatever you need, even server connection and APIs.
Cons - have to program and host your schizophrenic dreams on it, wasting time.

Due to sms being needed to sign up for entering sites I kinda agree with you. *entering insanity mode* It's so silly the powers that be think they're keeping people safe doing silly stuff like this. At the end of the day some serial killer is going to whipe his shoes off on some guy he had a gun on using his computer and all his information instead after it's literally impossible to be anonymous and just go to another guy's house in someone else's car. They can't stop that sort of activity but pretend some all seeing eye can when it can't actually see anything, just record and get there too late. Eventually some day in the futue the brown pill poster will be posting over some dead grandma/grandpa on his/her computer while giggling and bicycle away leaving their corpses to rot.

I'm not sure who you're trying to impress, but how you write is the splitting image of this obnoxious tranny I sometimes stumble across while searching niche languages on nitter to find examples of people using them. He inserts himself into any conversation on niche languages he can find, and thinks he's a super edgy contrarian for liking systemd. If anyone disagrees with him, he "ironically" threatens to molest and force feminize him. He's such an obvious sexual predator that it's telling language designers semi-tolerate him at all.
