I’ve been looking off and on for a few months, but it seems like there aren’t many options anymore like there were 20 years ago. A couple I’ve found are FlatPress and WriteFreely, but I haven’t tried any yet.

Was this the one that was also going on a basically polar orbit?

Question I’ve been meaning to ask: if I start with cloud can I move to self-hosted later? I’ve seen this before and it feels like a product I could make good use of, especially for getting tabs closed.

I still replay both every few years; finished Portal 2’s co-op with the kiddo earlier this year.

I think it was on NBC just yesterday that they had a graphic addressing the same phenomenon but just tracking more recent games and the hosts’ performance in the preceding games, I think the previous 4 Olympic Games for each host.

I haven’t done any programming in over 20 years, but I think I can make a contribution to projects by trying to improve documentation, once I start using some projects

I’ve seen multiple markdown standards; which one did you implement?

I haven’t heard of Write Freely; looks like it’s kind of an open source Medium alternative?

Yes, I just didn’t realize that auto-renew doesn’t work with PayPal on NameCheap and had lazily set it up with PayPal when I got it because I didn’t want to go get my wallet. Lesson learned!

I had this happen with NameCheap. I’m not sure if they bought it or someone else, but it stayed registered with them. Whoever bought it has held it for a couple years, put up a fake website to look like they were using it, but took it down after a year when I didn’t bite on buying it. Current status shows it’s pending deletion finally for abuse or non-payment. I keep checking to see when I can nab it again.

I remember a really smart, very nerdy family friend telling us about Linux around 1997/98 and this was the experience he described. It sounded interesting but also like a crazy amount of work.

Thank you!

As someone who has done no programming since taking C++ in high school more than 20 years ago, what do you mean by safer language?

I really need to try to learn Resolve. There just seems to be so much effort required to make a good NLE and such a relatively small market that it’s just not conducive to a robust FOSS project.

Very interesting, thank you for the explanation.

Edit: is that just for defederation or also when I block an instance on my account?

It looks like it’s this page:

https://fed.dembased.xyz/scoreboard?blockers=100

I’m pretty sure it doesn’t block the users; I blocked the NSFW Lemmy, whatever the big one is, because of how much porn would be on the All feed otherwise. I was surprised to see a post or comment from someone whose account was on that instance a few weeks ago, but it wasn’t anything I didn’t want to see so overall I was glad the users are still able to participate elsewhere if that’s what they want.

I like that clicking on the instance shows the reason given (if any) for each defederation.

I’m still confused on what happened with OpenOffice. Is it not good now that it’s with Apache?

Yes, that’s why I thought this article was odd that they seem to be making a big deal out of it
