Because we have let the clowns be in charge and the stock market is full of monopolistic shitshows instead of actual competition.

I don't think X works as well or as widely as you may think.

Try out Desqview/X on that 486 if you get a chance!

You may be thinking of DesqViewX:

Edit for a little personal anecdote: ran a 2-line (2400, then later 14.4k) WWIV BBS under this on a 386sx in the 90s. What an awesome time that was.

This is what Republicans focus on instead of holding pedophiles, rapists and oligarchs to account.

Hope you're feeling better - something was pretty wrong if you were grouping Guy Fieri in.

I'm an old man, but I also remember the reply-to header as option if your setup precludes you changing the from address header.

I'm trying to make a totally self-contained community software, sort of like an old-school BBS but via HTTP.

Don't need a db or anything, just run this and it works.

It's not significantly different than other software, it's just a slightly different approach that's probably most interesting and fun for a developer that's also interested in simple to host software.

Anyone looking for a project? (fedia.io)
 

Been working on a personal project to create community software that's deployable as a single image with no external dependencies (eg: no need to set up a db).

I've made a lot of progress, but am feeling technically lonely.

I would love it if there were anyone else out there with interests in open source, community and maybe some experience with the following tech that's maybe also looking for some comradery:

  • UX/UI
  • HTML/CSS
  • Cross-platform apps
  • Typescript

You can check the code out here to help decide if you're interested: https://andyburke.dev/andyburke/autonomous.contact

Fair warning: This project is still in the prototyping phase and isn't recommended for anyone other than a developer who's looking to help out. Additionally, there's currently no ActivityPub support, though federation is an eventual goal - if you know ActivityPub, I'd love to talk.

Ps. I am pretty bad at reaching out to people and I am not sure if this is the best way to find connection. If this isn't the right place, please let me know and I'll remove this.

YSK about Jury Nullification, if you're an American and you don't, look it up. (fedia.io)
 

[Jury Nullification] is when the jury in a criminal trial gives a verdict of not guilty even though they think a defendant has broken the law. The jury's reasons may include the belief that the law itself is unjust

Until the wealthy and powerful are held to account, why punish your fellow everyday citizens? Use your brain. Decide if what they're charging people with is suppression or actually keeping society safe.

When those prosecutors start losing these cases, maybe they will start to rethink who they are focusing on.

[BUG] when I search for 'fed' everything is fine, but once I search for 'fedi' or 'fediverse' or 'fediversenews' I get a 500 (fedia.io)

I saw other reports in the recent call for problems of errors around searching, but this seems, to me at least, to be reproducible.

edit: to be clear, this is using fedia.io - I am not sure if this bug affects mbin/kbin more generally, I've only tested on fedia.io.
