I always thought Japanese people were sort of "go with whatever government says" but after seeing how many on the fedi and LBRY I think a lot of them are pretty based. At least about the covid shit.

interesting how Knuth dealt with layouts. maybe tex was more sensible than CSS.
tex is fundamentally a rectangle management language.
you have rectangles that are there to contain stuff and then it goes in and splits them up in to smaller rectangles.
so you just have a whole box where text goes in general.
this becomes smaller boxes for each line aligned to the baseline.
and then it does word wrapping to put smaller boxes (letters) on each of these lines.

i bet if you combined these with cool constraint stuff like auckland layout manager that would be an absurdly powerful publishing layout system that is probably pretty straightforward to understand.

Kids are locked out of school, locked out of learning, locked out of their childhood.

Celebrities and media personalities and hypocritical politicians are partying like it’s 2019.

That should disgust everyone.

> Terry A Davis actually invented the interface for ticketmasters online sales , the blueprint that all online box offices use today .

He also built a textile machine that was more or less the first instance of a proto 3d printer.

Disobedience works.

The system wants you dead. Be your own department of sabotage.

Apparently "Freedom" is now just slang for anti-vax, anti "THE" science... The logic leaps of the media are becoming larger and larger as they try to maintain relevance.

I find it ironic that the person running this FediASINT site is using a cock.li email.
