@vaporeon_ @wallhackio @aescling @monorail ah yes, i see now
you can solve this in sed but it isn’t pretty
@wallhackio @aescling @monorail @vaporeon_ are whitespace separated values not the default for awk????
@coriander most of the first season is unserious and jumps around, but that turns out to be an important part of the show’s message. once you hit the second half of season 2 you are stuck in Ba Sing Se, and the third season mostly takes place in the Fire Nation. but the message of the show is that the world is much bigger and more diverse and beautiful than segregated cities and fascist countries would lead you to believe (and also that cities and countries themselves are internally more diverse and beautiful than they appear from the outside). and i think this is a message of hope that resonated strongly with a lot of american children who were looking for a counternarrative to the national discourse of the War on Terror and the universal sameness of Western society and art in the postglobalist era
@coriander but really like. imagine star wars, but instead of the core concept being about a kid with a personality disorder from his abusive childhood getting manipulated into supporting fascism, it is about a kid who grew up in a fascist country going out in the world, experiencing how the rest of the world does things, overcoming his childhood trauma, and developing a conscience. now get rid of the whole “is the jedi temple actually evil and did they deserve to be genocided” discourse and all of the darth vader stans, and that is kinda what AtLA is and why it is popular.
@coriander AtLA and Star Wars are possibly the only two Western works to have an interesting take on spirituality and interestingly they both involve moving around objects with your mind
@coriander unfortunately for them — · is Morse code for N
normal people do not use this phrase very often. hardly ever, i would say
honestly these days if you use the phrase “deeply respect” at this point i assume you mostly hang out with techbros on lobsters
@wallhackio @coriander clodboy you have nintendo online
@wallhackio meat hat
@gaditb oh i mean i would say i care most about whatever most speaks to you, or whatever you think most speaks to me, or something socially contingent along those lines
@gaditb no, never heard of them
a good software collective is established with two primary goals :—
1. creating good software
2. generating a public record of documents which demonstrate the process of making good software
considering this, one might be forgiven for thinking that there must exist an overabundance of tools for generating and proliferating documentation on the creation of software. after all, this is a problem that every good software collective must solve. however,
really, the issue is that i am not part of a collective
@gaditb the expectation that this process of refinement has occurred, not as a temporal sequence of updates but as an editorial control over the entire breadth of the text, is something i think we are often missing
@gaditb in contrast, if you send me a text document over the internet i am going to assume it is a complete text document and that the authorship of the text document has edited it so that the end lines up with the beginning and that it is transmitting an internally consistent (or intentionally inconsistent) message, unless otherwise stated
@gaditb i think i would define a document, in this context, as something for which no part of it is published until every part of it is published
for some definition of “published” which does not preclude collaboration
the internet is full of append-only logs. the beginnings and ends of these logs are not published at the same time, so they cannot be treated as temporally fixed works. but this changes how we interact with them pretty significantly, i think
@gaditb yeah in fairness this might be a false dichotomy
@gaditb you could argue social media is “just sharing documents” but the culture of social media is not documentary. it is about forming shared experiences. and this extends to most aspects of the internet i think
