@Cedar No opinion on write.as

My approach is "ignore newsletters and try to build a long site", but I agree that's not useful to most other people who want to live off what they do.

(*not* Hanson though. He should be writing a long site à la Gwern. he's a tenured professor, and I think he made the switch bc substack is trendy.)

I think I'll half-heartedly try long site+patreon, fail, and then go work a normal job and work on the site during part of my free time.

just before valentine's day! it's like they're made for each other 😍

is this a crossover episode

Oh my. I think I could probably write a short book on the topic, but I don't wanna ("the art must have some purpose other than itself, or it collapses into infinite recursion").

(the topic being how the internet is getting worse, and what a good website looks like)

That said, I dislike this change in particular because

1. substack is slow compared to wordpress and other platforms (with a bunch of chickenshit minimalism)
2. when I wget a substack the result is unusable

NOOOOOOOOOOOO

I don't know what the worst attachment style is, but I probably have it.

there are two possible options for document formatting systems:

small sharp knives that once in a while just turn into dust and interstellar tentacle guns that the previous alien civilization built and we just use superficially

PSA: https://bigtiddygoth.gf is a valid domain name, and currently unclaimed.

also who owns the domain hell.network

and doesn't do anything with it

fellas this cannot be tolerated

I really enjoy the names of fediverse instances.

girlboss.industries, ihatebeinga.live, yuormom.lol, mysideslm.ao, blackfell.az, crimew.gay, toot.party, hyperoscillatory.space

all great.

@theresnotime Are you the list of common misconceptions? Because no matter how far I stray, I always come back to you

@chronodm @harsh @kdnyhan Huh. If unrestricted from big tech to ~the powers that be~ I might agree with this 🤔

+1 for conflict theory

@kala_ aren't we all hitler on this blessed day ❤️
