Not a jeffk fan? Dammit I’m so old

I loved FrontPage. You could whip up a site in no time. The code it created was a disaster, but to be fair it worked fine.

I’d often use a WUSSYWAGON editor like FrontPage to make up a design and see how it looked, then just redo it by hand (or at least MAJORLY edit it) in Notepad so it wasn’t spaghetti.

I made a site for my dad’s business in FrontPage (then edited in Notepad) back in the very early 00s and hosted it on the 5MB of web space provided by the dialup provider at the time. It’s still there and exactly the same, though I had to move it to another provider in the late 00s when the ISP went bust. It’s gonna outlive him, and possibly me.

It’s what Wunderlist used to be like before Microsoft bought them and buggered it up, but keeps getting improvements.

I’ve always thought that mold is the fungus, and to mould is to shape.

I actually do this too. Not because I think it’s correct as such, but because that way I am consistent and I know what I’m talking about when I read back previous text that I’ve written.

I remember it by Mold = simplified English = simple organism.

I’ve been using FX File Explorer since 2012. It’s straight up the best file manager on Android, especially when you use SMB and SFTP. Multi window makes moving things around easy as, and the built in text editor works a treat. Being able to share images from apps to FX’s “Save As” option is awesome to. It means every app can save where you want.

No idea why it isn’t more popular compared to the alternatives.

Spondulix

That’s an odd name. I’d have called them dollarydoos.

I’m sure they’re making all sorts of valid points, but it seems like all they had was a notes app that supports markdown? There’s about a billion free versions of them on the Play store.

I use hysteresis daily… Refrigeration.

Later, the name hashtags, in American English this symbol #️⃣ was always best known as the pound key. It was also known as an Octothorpe.

The first time I learned of its American naming was the classic “pound quake 3 arena” audio clip from the #quake3arena IRC channel.

“Uhhhhhh pound quake 3 arena”
“… What the hell was that?”

… And my axe!

Edit: I said the funny line, updoots to the just please

I prefer to argue on the internet via my phone, which I can type pretty fast on thanks to the swipe to type

I’m the opposite… I rarely reply when I’m on my phone because swiping and tapping away at the touchscreen keyboard is so slow and inaccurate. I spend more time correcting swypos than I do writing I think.

Meanwhile on the desktop I can punch out a shining example of wit (or at least a spoonerism of that) at 100+ wpm at 100% accuracy.

Sent from my phone, slowly.

Pretty much never. Direct family only really.

Talking is for IRL, or actually urgent things. Everything else is a message or email.

Don’t ring me to discuss an email.

After reading the site, I’m still not entirely sure how to use it.

Is there a decent demo site somewhere? The examples they show are very simplistic

Whenever I see Lemmy without being logged in, it’s a wall of German and all I can think of is “ach, du lieber… das ist not eine booby!”

I can’t set a reminder.

I said “Hey Google, set a reminder to feed the dog at 9am tomorrow” and it seems to work fine?

The one in my hand with a silicon case feels fine. Camera bump is only obnoxiously noticeable when it’s naked.

By this argument I could join a tennis tournament and take a shit on the court and punch the judge and you’d think that makes me a star player because people that don’t follow tennis heard of me.

Where did I say I thought they were a star? I just said they’re the only one I remember. If you shat on a tennis court in front of (hundreds of?) millions of people during a global broadcast event I reckon I’d remember you too.

Right, but you can see why from my perspective I would find my own mindshare the the most important?

From my point of view it certainly is

Don’t recognise any of them. If they wanted some valuable mind share they should have tried harder to stand out.
