Hey, I remember this! Shame it never seemed to go anywhere. Though then again, the wiki's still up? :/

Here's another interesting book review. It's about the promise, and failure, of the Soviet Union in the 50's. :/

Hey, so I think I managed to optimize Agora so it should run pretty okay now. Low power computers will likely still have some trouble, but the rest should handle it okay. And it runs a LOT better in chrome or chomium then it does in firefox. Take a look and tell me how it works for you? XD
tfw you want to go join #rojava but you know it's not actually a good idea. :/
@noelle Any progress on subscriptions? I've added a counter for recentActivity and the code to make tick down. Still struggling to figure out how to make the preview selection work though. :/
Hmm. I'd like to second this recommendation by @paulfree14 - it's very interesting. :/
@stolas In a away, you could say that the notion, "The only reason to try hard is to make more money" is capitalist propaganda of the worst sort, and is one of the things we will need to defeat if we want to make a better world. :/

Huh, here's something y'all might appreciate. It's a web serial about a communist country fighting alt-WWII. Low fantasy, with a diverse cast, including many LGBT individuals. Morality is pretty grey/grey, but moderately favoring the communists. I've been quite enjoying it.

Civilization was a mistake. :/
Article on how the '90s culture-jamming idea, strong on the early internet, was itself sorta culture-jammed, leaving it unclear what a progressive way out might be.
Good article regardless, but especially works for me it b/c it's framed around a personal narrative of someone born in 1982 who grew up in a midwest suburb. (Though I was born in '81, and grew up in an Indiana suburb—not Ohio, thank god.)
"we'll burn that bridge when we get to it" is still my absolute favorite corrupted idiom
which apparently has a name but I like "corrupted idiom" better
@DC7IA I want #FOSS #smarthome stuff.
Huh, anyone know whether or not we're gonna have a shut down? If it's still uncertain, when will we know for sure? :/
Aaargh. I keep ending up screwing around with data management, copying and the like, and I can;t help feeling I'm missing something obvious. Anyone know any good patterns or advice or whatever, for avoiding that kind of mess? :/
Wait theres a protest march going on? How did I not hear about this beforehand? :/
Actually submitting issues on GitHub! My gosh, what is my life coming to. XD
How many times can you mutter "come on, [hallowed institution], you're better than this" before facing the fact that empirically, they clearly aren't
