Re: The forum is shutting down

I remember you quite well, you were argumentative and always inserted your beliefs into any conversation that went against them. Your position always devolved into some sort of care-free nihilism, especially after any sort of challenge to your beliefs. I always regretted that it wasn't a better ver...

Re: The forum is shutting down

I'd like to roughly quote a post from a forum (you can read the original in context here ), which puts my thoughts into words better than I could have: I thought it was worth chiming in to add that me and /home/ (who wrote the original post) have been debating about this subject for months across m...

Re: Weekly Discussion - Why Did You join The Yesterweb?

Im not sure if this is a bit personal! I joined the Yesterweb about 2 days before initiating a tough breakup during lockdown (March 2021). I think having a community of positive likeminded people in those early days gave me a lot of strength! It was a quirky community back then of wacky selfie-taker...

Re: Obligatory Desktop thread!

I know mines not particularly clean or custom, but its functional and cozy to me :) I keep a notepad open for ideas. https://nonit.me/external/images/desktop-small.png EDIT: dug up a seven year old screenshot of my old uni professor: https://koboi.sixey.es/remote/lnu.png THIS is what a dock should l...

Re: Desk setup posting!

Wanted to share my hard work + wondering what others do for their com...

Re: Twitter predictions

Iv been thinking about this a bit.. people keep calling Twitter a "Town Hall" of the internet.. the thing about a town hall though is that it must at least feeel like its owned by the people; in the west we love monarchy, but only when it has no real power.. so I think Musk becoming king o...

Re: Thoughts on older music players?

Oooph ok so this is a secret passion of mine.. first, for my main serious (high quality) local music collection I actually just use iTunes (aka Music on mac now) because it syncs to my phone. However I also like to download crappy youtube music and I collect that in a WACUP/Winamp library; you never...

Re: Artists, how do you feel about being open about your inspirations?

I think there is a certain amount of mystery that art depends on, so there is definitely a fear that sharing too much will spoil that mystery. Often the works Iv made have been inspired by things, but the work is not "about" those things, so I don't want to alter other peoples interpretati...

Re: People who went to live @ college; how did you decide what to bring?

Like the others said, bring the essentials that you need (Do you need cooking utencels? I didn't think to bring those and had to panic buy them when I arrived :surprise:). Bring a few small things that make you feel safe and at home (blankets, lamps, toys etc) On top of that Id add that college is a...

Re: I wish more people would make personal websites.

There's a lot of talk about stigma here, but I wonder how much of that is real; everyone who Iv ever shown my site to has been curious and positive. I even directly asked a few company directors about how they saw my site and if they would be put off by someone who had a site like mine on their CV a...
