I use kobo because I have a kobo reader and you can import any epub into their app and it will work great. Otherwise I like Yomu, it’s got a nice and clean interface.

That was a lot of fun, and I was absolutely terrible at it. My favorites were Advanced Dungeons & Dragons and Shark! Shark!

It came out in 79 and games were still being made into the late 80s.

It had 16 buttons (albeit the side buttons were ?almost always? Mirrored) and a multidirectional disk. And you had to keep a collection of plastic sheet inserts for each game. So bad, but I loved mine so much. I hated that the Atari only had a Joystick and 1 button at friends’ houses.

My reading of it was that, while yes she was talking about moderation policy, it was specifically with regards to a different issue within the larger window of their policy. So someone replying in regards to a different policy under the same window was a distraction from the specific topic she was trying to discuss.

I have no knowledge or experience of that, but that’s not me denying your experience, just explaining why I didn’t say anything about it.

Background:

Jay (Graber) is the CEO of Bluesky. Lately it has been “a thing” for a certain cohort to reply to every one of her posts (along with other heads of like dev and moderation) for a while now calling for the banning or bemoaning the lack of banning of a particular user that has a reputation of an anti-trans media pundit, Jesse Singal. A big foundation of one of the early cohorts of users on Bluesky were a large section of trans users and allies.

Bluesky is getting to the size as well where it’s starting to develop some of the early Twitter environment where someone posting “I love pancakes” immediately gets a bunch of replies (on accounts with large enough reach) of “WHY DO YOU HATE WAFFLES‽” types.

Jay posted both (same day or very close) about trying to navigate a solution for this effect, and how harassing the moderators isn’t a way to get people to share your vision. She then replied to someone hijacking a reply thread to call for Singal’s ban again with “WAFFLES!” And that escalated the situation with the cohort that is bothered by Singal’s continued presence.

It’s still more feature rich than Nano, with things like macros and multi-file search/replace from the command line though since I started using it, Nano has taken up some of the slack.

I was unfamiliar with wordtsar, that’s amazing.

While I can use Emacs and Vim (adequately enough) I really feel in love with Joe back when I was first learning Unix.

(I did have a phase where I used WordStar and VisiCalc long after they were surpassed by others.)

No one even uses Vim anymore, you should just switch to Wordpad. It’s far superior cause you can type in bold and italics.

Minneapolis and St Paul (Cross-River sister cities, St Paul is the State Capital) both have mayoral elections on November 4, 2025. The one you’ve been seeing mentioned more likely is the Minneapolis one where the DFL (State Democratic Party) endorsed a candidate for the first time in a bit and it was the challenger to the incumbent Democratic candidate, so it’s been in the news.
