If you're gonna paginate a list, let people know how many pages there are, and let them skip to any item.

Need a *desgin system* and a standard javascript button which loads a blob of WASM or whatever!
Yeah, I'm really offended by the whole concept though.
I set my browser up to work for me, why do they do extra work to make it not work as well! Just because they dislike that I might like something different than them?!
I blame Steve Jobs and his obsession with everything looking the way he wanted
Ok, so, uh, Jade has forced me to think about finishing the things I've been writing. But - LOOK AT THESE COVERS! HOLY SHIT!

The sorcery rules, after getting 5 minutes to skim them, are entirely perfect
There are no notes. This is the perfect sorcery system.
In a game with the perfect setting.
The closest I ever got to playing a tabletop RPG was merely owning the Shadowrun 3rd Edition Rulebook. I loved the artwork and the setting, but I was in a very nerd-starved region as a kid.
I love game mechanics generally, and it's cool to hear about elegant rules like this. It's what drew me to the Baldur's Gate PC games as a kid. The magic system was so different from all the JRPGs I was used to.
I need to find a group that plays games like these.
Yeah! I am currently overbooked with games :( but I know that Roll20 does like "Meet a group" stuff, and meetup.com is where people meet each other for games in person usually.
But I also understand both of those are hard...
I *love* Shadowrun so really respect it as a choice!

Yeah! You find the Ob, and then you haggle about your pool. You pays your money and you make your bets. Sometimes you get a lemon.
I love that about BW personally. Every choice is about finding the pieces!

Yeah! Federated Identity is a basic and sensible thing the web needs, and so much of the problems people have with platforms could be solved!
Honestly - we need ISPs to provide OpenID like emails *at the very least*
I mean, that makes sense. I didn't mean as the *only* option, I meant it as a quick way to give everyone an option. Kinda like how so many people are like "here's an ISP email" and then get a GMail anyway.
I have an ISP email, but I also have my domain mail!
I might become addicted to buying Microsoft Surfaces and putting free OSes on them and trying to make them usable by others.
This weird "nun chuck computer" design I'm using, where you have a tablet, and then a USB keyboard is really nice. It's currently my main computer.

@HippyWizard One time I went to an office at my last job and there was a computer connected to a TV using an HDMI cable, an HDMI to VGA adapter, a VGA cable, and then a VGA to HDMI adapter.
Then I remembered that I was the one who originally set that up.

that's amazing!
Tell me what happened, and I really hope you say "They only had a VGA cable and wouldn't buy a cable"

Uuuuug, I miss my USB Model M, I should use my Climate Inaction Plan money for that...
But really I was to make a keyboard with magical sigils
diner obstructive? Uuuuh?
I've been mostly working on building a sigil library using SVG magic so they scale really well

If you ever want to see how I write code - check this out
Basically - Youtube crashes my tablet so I wanted to be able to go vlc `ytsearch.sh some video` and just get a list of videos and go
It's not complete, but it's working.

Better support for subscriptions and RSS
Better support for grabbing related videos
Better support for looping so that when a video finishes it gives you the same search back or the related video (based on flags?)
Making this code not make the reader cringe
some sort of wrapper toolchain to execute the pieces so you don't run it via backticks

The thing about The Website Is Down is that the problem is as much Web Dude's as Chip's, and both are terrible - and that's what makes it good
Unlike Geek Triumphant bullshit like The IT Crowd or other stuff, it's a farce and a comedy of errors, not dunking on "non geeks"

Anyone remember the "Don't Taze Me Bro" thing and how a dude got tazed for asking a question at an open question period?
Wasn't that fucked?

Yeah!
Like - it was a funny phrase - but it's also just hard to engage that the funny phrase was the focus - not the state violence against a boring question
