undermine the vole

And really, the far-right isn't generally vegan at all. They disregard any claims that cows are treated poorly and don't believe the dairy industry is problematic.

A sad state of affairs in general.

It's rather sad that veganism in India is overshadowed by purity politics (Hindu nationalism and its association with vegetarianism). The far-left rhetoric is largely anti-vegan, often brandishing the "privilege" defense and "what about the lower class that cannot afford it", or worse still, "factory farming isn't as big of a problem here".

been hacking away on a read-only reddit client;
- operates well on mobile
- free of ads and promoted posts

several other good bits: no account system, single binary, easily selfhostable, nearly zero js, dark mode etc.

@ru The only stable SSG is the one you write :^) Third party ones don't care about your site as much as you do. And writing an SSG is always fun.

Updated my site's footer with the new fedi and Bluesky icons!

Composable moderation is pretty awesome tee bee haich. Fedi’s acting like a jealous older sibling towards Bluesky’s success, lol.

It’s ok, the fediverse isn’t going away.

Not to detract from fedi's success but it's remarkable how fast Bluesky has been growing. They made the right tradeoffs between usability for the average joe, and overall platform freedoms.

Bluesky is to Signal is as Fedi is to XMPP.

Neat little GitHub feature for those (like me) that dislike the default edge-to-edge file/directory views.

@mehluv no, it does not. It runs an activation script that executes as a systemd service but there is no persistent background process.

@mehluv home-manager doesn't "constantly run". It's just a framework of sorts that lets you configure your home (dotfiles, configs, et cetera) using Nix.

@aynish same background as you; I've found the Go/Templ/htmx/Tailwind stack to be incredibly powerful. htmx took a bit of mental rewiring to grok, but it's very easy to get productive with, especially with how easy Templ makes writing partials.

I would support a RiiR of Signal Desktop. It's honestly shocking how bad it is to use.

I gotta say, Lidl’s marinated tofu is unironically really good. And it’s just a €1,30. I’ll even rate it higher than Jalotofu.

I’m realising that tech comps in India are now often 1x–3x (sometimes 4x!) that of Europe.

@cadey I’m actually trying to solve this exact problem with https://kapycluster.com. Multi-cloud Kubernetes with a managed control plane.
