Apple about to make a wave of obsolete machines and people are going to be like “it’s necessary!”. eWaste for capitalism. https://twitter.com/philshapiro/status/1279634794775752704
This is too well done, lol. https://twitter.com/killyourfm/status/1280781143655186432
I really want something that I can use to manage the PDFs, ePubs and Mobi files I have on my computer. I’m going to give Calibre another look but that UI is intolerable, man. I don’t need it to buy books or papers for me; just to help organize the ones I already have.
Pattern matching is something I use a lot in Elixir (it makes control flow more interestingly verbose and human friendly) and it looks like PHP 8 has it! https://php.watch/versions/8.0/match-expression
So I mentioned the idea of making my homepage more dynamic. I don’t want it to be too difficult to do though. I have a concept of theming on my site. Since I can completely control the theme, this makes for a very interesting situation where, by leveraging Microformats JSON, I can dynamically render things on a page. For example, in this screenshot of my future site, I can have each section be determined by a property of a larger h-entry. The main text could be the e-summary, the headline text being p-name and the changelog region be a p-x-changelog that’d hold a list of embedded h-cites to other content that I’ve created!
As far as I know, there’s no such compatibility availability in a Micropub client for editing like this; they focus on providing particular post types and don’t seem to allow for “custom’ properties. However, the needed part is really just being able to push arbitrary properties to one’s post. The basis of this (for fetching) is already available thanks to q=source&url= in Micropub; you can fetch the MF2 representation of a post. This is enough to push new properties to a post.
My goal is to take Koype Publish and improve it to support this functionality of compositional content. Right now, it servers as a way for me to create long-form content and nothing more. This would allow me to do so much with my site. Some ideas I had was working on a “stack page” that’d serve as a h-entry with children for each thing that I can move around and adjust as if it was in a WYSIWYG setup.
What does the community think about such editing styles?
I’m only 25 pages into Parable of the Sower and I’m very angry I haven’t started this book sooner. Like fuck reading about shitty capitalism - this book basically is a prophecy.

I haven’t been outside in so long I don’t even know HOW to dress to go out anymore, lol.
