I've semi-recently realised something:
there are multiple (incomplete, but somewhat functional) Minecraft reimplementations/Minecraft-compatibles out there. multiple.
there is a timeline somewhere out there where the masses have done a FLOSS takeover of Minecraft and I want to be part of it.
oh my fucking god I hate corporations I hate corporations I hate corporations
I was so excited to get that IT internship and now I'm getting anxious just looking at all the paperwork and forms and legalese and new employee portals I hate this why can't I just live under a bridge and die of exposure
When I was a little kid, I had an affinity for old geocities and teletext pages. Disturbingly often I would stay up late in my room, browsing one or the other. I'm not entirely sure why, but there was something,,, enchanting about all of their outdated contents, their crude, low-res gifs and neon-colored pixelart respectively. It was a little bit like walking through a recently-abandoned mall, or sneaking through a waterpark after closing; like something not-quite-real, the digital equivalent of a liminal space. Oh, and it made every time I found something new, some sign of life _that_ much more special!
I've recently realised gemspace -- with all it's cute little ASCII art, it's sparse updates, it's webrings and hidden hangouts -- seems to scratch that same itch. And honestly, I'm glad you're here and part of it, reader. I may not know you, but I know we're both here together, part of this cute, hidden hangout. And that feels nice. :>
Why does CSS make it impossible to pick when you want to stop collapsing margins?
Seriously, margins are a great tool that allows developers to write more universal, reusable classes easily. It seems like a huge oversight that we don't yet have a simple "stop collapsing margins within the bounds of this element" property yet, especially when the way the "overflow" property works already demonstrates that it is possible! And yet, as of right now, the only way to achieve this effect if to hack about with overflow or padding! Gah, get your stuff together, W3C!
