I wish more FLOSS software's online manuals had everything in one big HTML page, rather than split it up. It's 2018, I can download a 500kB HTML page! And then I can use Control-F to search your docs!

Wanna have a bit of fun watching people get all confused while revealing society's inherent patriarchal bias?
Refer to your sewing machine as a 'power tool.'
We're using email+etherpad now. This group is relatively distributed, and we write things asynchronisly. If I write a thing, I don't know who has looked at it and thinks it's OK. If someone rewrites a section, how do they know if the others are OK with it? That's the problems I'd like software to help.
Dear LazyWeb: Is there any web software for collaborative editing of documents, which is more than a wiki's "last edit wins" approach?
e.g. I have ~5 people in a group and want to write something that requires X people to vote/approve a document. Anyone can suggest a change, but that must be approved too.
Does this exist?
Course now browsers have all the features firebug had. Tisnt needed.
Debugging JS on IE6 was a PITA
I remember when firebug was the big deal!
Programming #JavaScript for the first time in years. Doing it without #jquery, to see what's available now.
Lots is possible with #VanillaJS, but I gotta search MDN a lot.

I've got a solution to the recycling problem. Pass a law that says that every company has to accept back any products they provide, when they reach end-of-life. So, for example, retailers would have to accept packaging waste back from customers, and the wholesaler that sold them the product would have to accept it back from them. Internalizing the cost of dealing with waste would motivate companies to make less disposable stuff, and find ways to make it easier to recycle:

"Half of Americans wouldn’t be able to tell that a Briton is calling them an idiot"
Well that's an interesting survey

What's the state of the art with #federated #git hosting? Do we have something to replace #github with yet? Where we can all self host, and yet keep a decent "social" interaction feature?

Got a #CrossStitch kit. Got everything ready. I have cut the tip of my finger, and I dropped a needle and found it embedded in my leg the next morning.
This is dangerous stuff!

The internet used to be a city: it had its weird bohemian districts, its flea markets, its high-rises and back alleys. Now it's just a shopping mall, and I miss my old city so much

Remember. Western society tries hard to make us cold and ruthless. An act of kindness is an act of rebellion.
Go. Rebel.
