Not all philosophy amounts to the same egotistical vocabulary contest. I found it inspired and coherent, maybe not to an analytical taste, but a flowery style is proper for the actual point.


I'm compulsively drafting ideas along these same lines, but now I don't need to fix that. Wonderful, brilliant text, thank you raf.


The only thing worse about this than whichever 2020-era website was the "Right click is disabled!" as I tried to leave. (That made me chuckle). The other stuff is just nostalgia and not really related to the degradation of web UX. Irrelevant gifs and ugly colors are easier to ignore than 1000-page cookie dialogs.


For Firefox/Librewolf users, you can hold shift when you right click to bypass scripts that try to disable your ability to right click.

I laughed when that popped up for me. A very authentic experience.


This looks pretty sane overall. If you try this, be aware that it changes directory navigation, i.e. "Prepend cd to directory names automatically, so you can cd into directories just by typing their name", "Automatically correct spelling errors in arguments supplied to cd". I've tried these things and they drove me insane, so they're not good defaults for everyone.
