> Beware the Keybase formula:
1. Integrates with an existing, open ecosystem
2. May have open-source clients, but server is closed source and does not federate
3. Pretty UI and good marketing
4. VC funded
Agreed. And I'd pay *particular* attention to #4.
With a normal company, you have to ask "can the current business model make money?" If not, it will change.
With a VC-backed company, you have to ask "can the current business model make 10× returns?" If not, it will change.

int = (int)y
(int)/(int) = ((int)y)/(int)
(int)/(int) = y
1 = y

Interesting, though it looks a little too complicated for what I want. The event this is for will hopefully be in-person.

Thanks! That looks promising. It's interesting that the quiz data is stored in the quiz creator's browser. A little disappointing that it doesn't load in incognito mode.

Rey and Kylo?
Does anyone know of any open source alternatives to Kahoot, a real-time multiple-choice quiz game where participants vote by clicking 1 of four buttons on their phone screen. Boosts appreciated. @switchingsoftware

Gets us a little closer. Maybe 1MB of the code hasn't been written yet.

Or maybe the 1178 line source code fits on a 1.44 MB floppy?
Seems like there would still be plenty of free space... maybe to fit the other 5 source files.

@ac Welcome to not-twitter, a place where, much like twitter, groupies congregate around the personalities who put in the time, torrentially tooting.

`links -g` is graphical, allows user-definable fonts, colors, etc, and loads pages faster by avoiding JS and CSS.

Announcing the SourceHut project hub 🎉
https://sourcehut.org/blog/2020-04-30-the-sourcehut-hub-is-live/
I don't usually explicitly ask for shares, but this is a big deal for SourceHut - the project hub solves one of our major goals for the alpha. Please help spread the word ❤️

Why not just share a plain text file?
You can sync it however you want! If you're worried about corruption, why not write a script that automatically makes and pushes git commits for her laptop?

@sir No, it's a good language because it slows people down, which means it causes them to write less bad software than they otherwise would have been able to.

@amiloradovsky @sir I love Ansible because it lets me (1) document in code exactly how my servers are set up, and (2) quickly rebuild my servers if something goes wrong.
That said, Drew has a point; because Ansible makes servers easier to maintain, it enables/encourages more complex configurations that you would not create if you had to deploy everything by hand. The complexity is still there, even if you manage it with automation.
Thinking about trying again to set up a #gnuSlashDarwin system (on a different machine). Last time I tried, I got stuck and ended up wiping macOS.
