@ZeroOne Found someone else defending em-dashes as well: blog.torh.net/2026/08/2…

@ZeroOne PS. Again, the em-dash in this text is very deliberate. See my previous post for more on this: ville.saalo.moi/2026/07/2…

@replytomaikel FWIW ChatGPT made me this when I asked an svg version of that: imagebin.ca/v/2ccSZny… Not terrible, at least it has all the elements.

@jtr OK, no worries! Micro.blog sometimes works in mysterious ways… This guy jamessimo just started a Discord server for his game, you can find the link from his YouTube channel.

@jtr Uh, thanks, but, I’m completely missing the context here?! 😀 For some reason your message does not appear to be a reply to anything. 🤔

@manton I don’t intend to, but what if I stopped paying for my subscription now and only returned in a couple of years? Would I still have access to write to my old blog?

@jsbarretto GPUs happen to be excellent in parallel computing. It almost seems like they don’t even have that much to do with screen resolution at all these days. They are used to train large language models and other such neural networks.

@ville.saalo.moi I really enjoyed part 2 as well: youtu.be/BoqK5wOGpfU 🏙️

@ville.saalo.moi GNU Sir Terry Pratchett! I actually haven’t even read Going Postal yet, need to do that! This GNU was unfamiliar to me and took me into a bit of a rabbit hole that turned to to include even HTTP headers: http.dev/x-clacks-ove… 😅

@ville.saalo.moi Ping @bekopharm.indieweb.social.ap.brid.gy, thanks for sharing, more people definitely need to be made aware of this! 🙏

@ZeroOne Notice the very deliberate use of an em dash in this post! See my thoughts about it in this later text: ville.saalo.moi/2026/07/2…

@ramiismail.com Isn’t that the exact same thing with the movie industry? Games need their own A24 – or A24 needs to start funding games as well.

@rodhilton.bsky.social I heard the Local-First Conf was really good, despite all the AI: www.localfirstconf.com It seems like a relatively recent conference, I hadn’t even heard about it until this year.

@ZeroOne Thanks for your comments, Michael! Abandonware is bound to happen. You can’t reasonably expect everyone to maintain all of their hobby projects forever. I suspect you, too, have a repository or two with no commits in years?
(To be explicit, I’m calling here anything that you put to GitHub “OSS”.)
I believe most of this OSS is made to respond to some particular need of the author, often bound to time. Once that need is fulfilled, there’s no need to maintain the project. Also, maybe that note-taking app just got good enough that it doesn’t need any active maintenance?
I don’t want to use abandonware either, but I don’t have to. The discoverability of these hobby projects is often bad, so they don’t matter too much even as noise.

@ZeroOne Bonus: this would have made it into this list, but I didn’t have the time to fully read it before the month changed: staniks.github.io/articles/… “Catlantean 3D - Making Graphics Like It’s 1993” details Marko Stanic’s making of a Doom-like FPS.

@lyteforce Sounds like an excellent teacher! But did you like the Broken Arrow movie when you went to see it, or do you still remember anything from that one? 😃

@lyteforce Hey that’s great! These historical events are always so much more interesting if you have even some weak personal connection. Thanks for sharing! 😊

@sp4zm.bsky.social Not if you are burdened!

@superchupu.dev I see, thanks for explaining! Consider adding this info to the readme to reach an even wider audience. :) Funnily enough I’ve been in the business for quite a while but have never heard of the term “globbing”, so it’s not a keyword I would’ve thought of if I needed something like this.

@superchupu.dev Congrats! What do tinyglobby, globby, and fast-glob do? The readme in the repo is not very helpful for a newcomer.

@anderspucknielsen.dk Which speech? Would you have a link to that please?

@ville.saalo.moi I’m not familiar with Mojeek but I do think Kagi beats DuckDuckGo. For one, DDG serves ads.
One killer Kagi feature for me is that you can prioritize or block domains in the search results. Never see results from Pinterest again!

@capwatkins.com The trajectory is nice, though! From kagi.com/stats?sub_st…
