when the paws hold the thing so the puppy can chew 🐶

@monorail i use both styles but i pretty much only use the capitalized and perioded one for things with like, paragraphs

with lowercase style i generally make every sentence its own paragraph; if i'm going to stick three or more sentences in the same paragraph my brain starts inserting capitals

@codl that’s not the current character folding practices (that technical report was withdrawn and never made it out of the “draft stage”)

for identifiers and such, case folding is a core part of the standard defined in CaseFolding.txt and section 5.18 here: unicode.org/versions/latest/ch

for other string comparison operations, including removal of accents, that’s defined as a part of CLDR (which, if you thought the ordinary unicode website was hard to navigate… the CLDR website is even worse lmao)

@Satsuma yeah that’s what i did on my website in 2018, although i also had Atom (and JSON!!) feeds that i kept updated so people could subscribe to it, but there wasn’t any like, way to view it as a blog in the browser

the setup i have now just renders the index of files on the left side of the screen and then has an <IFRAME> on the right side which loads the post, which is like, perfectly sufficient for blog purposes, even though i don’t think i’ve ever seen anyone take that approach in the past decade or so at least

@Satsuma ordinarily with blogs you have some kind of site generator or server software but this is just a bunch of html files for posts, an xml (atom) file as an index, and then a stylesheet which makes it browsable

@Satsuma the aforementioned XSLT plus handwritten Atom feeds

this has to be one of the most absolutely minimal blog setups ever used

@Satsuma created caramels! You can see pictures here: ‹ glitch.cat.family/@Satsuma/106 ›.

• In the process of re·organizing/consolidating my internet presence, I wrote an XSLT ‹ github.com/marrus-sh/u2764/blo › which can be used to generate index pages like ‹ u2764.com/XRPT/ › and ‹ u2764.com/OFIC/ › from linked Atom feeds/archives! See the source code for those pages, or @ me for an explanation of how it works.

thankfully, i also know enough to quote the relevant passages verbatim when i cite a link

like 5 people read the stuff i write and i still know enough to not delete things off the internet without cause and to spoof a redirect when i move a post

really makes the bookkeeping i am doing right now much easier

thank you, me of 2018, for deciding that from now on i was only going to make webpages which were self‐contained and easily distributable

@monorail oh yeah i always forget where the event listener goes with load events

document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", ...) might be better if you don't need to wait for assets but it's nbd
