@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 😍

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

OVERCOMING BIAS MOVED TO SUBSTACK

NOOOOOOOOOOOO

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

@amy
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

also who owns the domain hell.network

and doesn't do anything with it

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

@niplav @newt I lied, it will probably be a device that has a 50:50 chance of destroying the universe or proving a minor technical point in a theory

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

+1 for conflict theory
