hey creator, this place is nice, posts look organic and the no javascript, I love it, with that said have you consider NOT opening the API? and have a 1 way to come here and enjoy it? the rationale being that API also opens the door to the slopai?

I dislike using aliases. I prefer fish shell like history search, fzf integration better.

continued:

That said, I stumbled upon a function (for zsh) that would expand an alias upon typing space. That's some great middle ground.

I'm sorry about that. Overthinking can be bad.

it's okay now, sometimes my brain just can't seem to wrap around a few issues

This is really cool site but only drawback I see is 500 character per post limit. I think this should me more like 1500. or there is a limitations type something like I can do 3-4 long post per day credit. whom can i message for this feature request?

replied to:

I am certain will get back to you on such matters - creator of this platform.

replied to:

On some Mastodon instances, they post whole blog posts or massive threads and I feel this type of platform is not the place for such content. But this is clearly personal taste.

OK, so you only get 10 lines of output. (I tried to get ChatGPT to write this program but it kept messing up, so I wrote it by hand.)

Hati-hati pak! I worked in Borneo before, and seeing the forests burn is horrifying. I miss all the wildlife there. Mau kembali ke Indonesia!

Beautiful day with local community. Lots of physical labor, all my joints are swollen, back sore, soles of my feet aching, but a beautiful day of people working together and recognizing what a special group we have.

When I stopped having a job I completely lost interest of huge portion of things I used to have interest before. I could connect all of that to consumerism. And I haven't gained any of that interest back.

replied to:

Is it because you could no longer afford these things and had to budget?

replied to:

I quit knowing I am financially ok. (I was likely burnt out, had to leave a place I greatly loved but I still left). I still can't exactly explain this.

Sounds like it was a gut feeling, I hope it works out for you, and in the meantime, you discover new passions. But I understand, unemployment leads to feelings of apathy.

So even though I'm clumsy, the law of conservation of matter could still work better than it does here, or rather, it shouldn't work here, but it doesn't.
