That's nice. I still have my Nexus 5, but without a working OS. One time early 2019 flashing pmOS failed; someone on the internet suggested that maybe my flash memory went bad 😞

That's the nature of things.
We should all set up personal archive proxies like mozz.us:1966 to keep pages from getting lost (or inaccessible during server maintenance).

Please don't use URL shortened links on the fediverse. They give a worse experience when using a dedicated app, and on most servers, they don't even save you any characters off your character limit.

Isn't there some sense of 'compiling' regular expressions? I've seen some regex-like things in C(++ actually). It's very dense, but readable, and reasonably modifiable.

Santa doesn't get anybody presents because he's been dead for over 1600 years. If that ruins Christmas for anyone, they probably don't understand what it's really all about.

@sir
To help the people who might not be that good at jumping in, would it be an appropriate use of mailing-list space to say "hey, I think the bug is on line XXX, if you want to fix it".

I sometimes do this at work on our private mattermost server, but usually I do `nano ~/notes/file.md`

Gmail also still has a js free version.

The real great thing ThML is the div1 div2 div3 structure.
Converts really nicely into gemtext headings which work well in clients with ToC's.
Things which don't always work nice: block quotes, italics.
And I haven't implemented notes, footnotes, or links yet.

Wanted to switch to qutebrowser for the configurability, but the default (vi inspried) keybindings are so overwhelming.
If you like vi and vi-keybindings, you're probably a QWERTY elitist.
(Btw, I use Dvorak 😂)

re: So apparently I'm banned from github.com/golang/go 

How do people feel about 'programming ligatures'? I have some thoughts.

(see Fira Code for examples: github.com/tonsky/FiraCode)

@rutherford
In university, I got marked down on a quiz for writing ≥ instead of >= on a handwritten programming quiz. (Python doesn't support unicode equality operators). I wish I had known enough to tell my professor "my handwriting just has ligatures enabled!"
