no machine is more precious than the one that's been Repaired. even if it isn't good as new, it's filled with the loving kindness of the one who Repaired it.

It’s always so sad to see how many URLs just disappear over time, even if they’re just 10 to 20 years old and are on websites that are totally still around
@thomasfuchs I have over 700 redirects for that very reason. Ask for a site with only four hundred pages
Did you know that the Soviet Union made their own “Linotype” typesetting machine and called it the Neotype?
Did you know it was aggressively green?
No?
Well, here is a picture of it and I suggest you sign up for my Linotype Book Project newsletter because I have a great story to tell coming out next week: https://linotypebook.com/
With regards to our toy production, I now find myself in a somewhat unfamiliar position.
Usually, we're racing to get our latest piece out ahead of our next show.
But our next show was delayed for a year! We have a November show, and then and our next show after that was cancelled as well.
So now we've got a great new toy and no where to show it off!
Well, not nowhere.
Here.
I have a great new toy and I can show it off here.
@ajroach42 collected con NY in September maybe?
Thank you everyone for all your interesting thoughts and pointers re: the crisis that is web browsers.
A few general followups collected in one place:
1. "Servo is the future, we/you should target effort there" - I'm finding this argument more and more convincing as the line count of the amount of code I'm tallying that I'd like to be removed from FF keeps going up.
I am somewhat amazed/shocked by the rapid introduction (and the code size) of recent "features"
A subtractive approach to browser dev (whether soft or hard fork) can only go so far.
Ultimately the root problem, as many noted:
2. "web standards have become obscenely complicated - for various reasons - and developing a browser necessitates larger team efforts which perpetuates more complication."
There are two ways to respond to that: attempt to turn the tide (and try to avoid getting swept up in it) or abandon the modern web in favour of something that allows smaller browser to blossom.
I Never Loved You Anyway- The Corrs
@ramsey OHMSS was kind of a dud, but I think the one you’re thinking of is NEVER SAY NEVER AGAIN (1983), which was made by a different production company that held a very narrow sliver of the Bond rights and wanted to parlay their own franchise out of it
@jalefkowit Yeah. That’s the one I'm thinking of. OHMSS was still a Broccoli film. I think I was thinking of it as non-canon because the actor was a one-time Bond.
@ai6yr You don't want them coming back with some space virus!
@mattblaze @ai6yr True. The last thing you want is … Space Madness.
So now I'm left wondering which junior person at the ad agency deliberately decided to use "Five Years," correctly betting that no one on Meta's team would realize it's about the end of the world.

It's interesting how many grown ass people want a fantasy poem to be historically accurate...
@ami_angelwings The blessing for the newborn twins from Kurt Vonnegut's God Bless You, Mr. Rosewater:
"Hello babies. Welcome to Earth. It’s hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It’s round and wet and crowded. On the outside, babies, you’ve got a hundred years here. There’s only one rule that I know of, babies: “God damn it, you’ve got to be kind.”
Artists, what is your why? Your most basic reason for making work?
For me, is connection. I make work to connect to who ever it reaches. I yearn for that connection and moreover validation of shared experiences. I collaborate with other artists for kinship along with that connection.
Ive always lacked real community.
@MannycartoonStudio My work, mostly, is about making the things I wanted to see as a kid, and telling stories that are overlooked.
US AI labs: "Scraping the entire open internet without consent is fair use! It's transformative!"
Also US AI labs when someone distills their models: "Wait no not like that, that's intellectual property theft"
New post on why distillation is just the industry looking in the mirror:

@codinghorror hah! thats both clever and pretty rad
A woman who was in labour expecting twins fell into a deep coma just before the birth, and didn’t regain consciousness until some time later.
She was naturally concerned about her children and asked how they were. “Don’t worry” said a nurse “You have a healthy boy and girl, and your brother has named them for you.”
“Oh no, not my brother, he’s an idiot!” said the woman. What did he call my daughter?” “Denise” said the nurse. The woman said “Well, that’s not too bad. And what did he name my son?” “Denephew” said the nurse.
