Speaking from the same neutral pragmatism, it makes sense to let the default Lemmy web UI be a lightweight, actually-mobile-friendly derivative of old.reddit, rather than a more committed default like Alexandrite or Photon.
Keeping things similar is a good jumping-off point, and if we do want to make some large change, different generations and cultures have heavily varying default preferences. Wouldn't it be wiser to pick a common ground, something these differing peoples have grown used to, as opposed to some new style A or B or C likes?
(Fun fact: if you think that ppl sticking to old designs is silly, Panasonic has a whole $$ niche in Japan selling modern-internal, vintage-external laptops with DVD drives and old-style keyboards. https://old.reddit.com/r/thinkpad/v0t06p literally has both a VGA and a thunderbolt lol)
To qualify what you mentioned, I've seen the manifesto itself successfully pasted and kept up for 15+ hours, but not the link to it. (just CTRL+F for "indecipherable" in either the r/interestingasfuck or r/WitchesVsPatriarchy threads)
You're correct in that the NYPD said that it was a "handwritten, three-page document" -- I found it odd too -- but, the "document" could've been on one of those mini notebooks, or in large print, or scrawled.
From another perspective -- if the transcription is incomplete, then Klippenstein either (1) omitted text by his own hand, (2) could not acquire the entire document but was unaware that he hadn't, or (3) did not acquire the entire document but withheld his report's weakness of breadth.
I'm not sure Klippenstein's incompleteness is very likely
[ Removed by Reddit ] being on the frontpage for hours despite being expunged near-instantly is morbidly funny. The absence is speaking louder than the silence
Ironically, Wittgenstein's Philosophical Investigations touches on how thinkers often confuse themselves by slightly shifting the meanings of others' words (like a game of telephone!) -- and, you may have done that here, since he's never framed language in the way you mentioned ( ꩜ . ꩜ ;).
Philosophy is a battle against the bewitchment of our intelligence by means of language. r/philosophy discussion
Furthermore, in Tractatus (though he kind of discredited this book later in life), Wittgenstein argues
What can be shown cannot be said
as a weakness of propositional language (vs. e.g. pictorial language) -- then, this is yet further against "language being at the center in intelligence". (Stanford Plato discussion))
A tangent: On r/interestingasfuck, a post (np link) about Klippenstein's report was removed in less than an hour, but has continued to skyrocket in upvotes, fueled by comments alone
(As of this comment, first removal complaint was 2 hours ago, but post was made 3 hours ago.)
That's because it's almost always a poor retelling.
When someone talks about their dreams, they're biased; to them, it's already profound. But to you, it sounds like a disconnected infodump because, well, it usually is.
I was in an apocalypse, then met Stu, he's 6 foot 4 and had 730 quadrillion molecules in his body, then Gandhi sold me to Justin Trudeau. Woke up in a cold sweat. (add 200 words of filler)
Is this a testament to the importance of writing skill, or insurmountable bias? I suppose a hobbyist writer would have a better chance at keeping one compelled.
Here's my favorite example of better dream storytelling: tumblr
I reserve some wordless music for when my sadness gets critical. That way, they always sound bittersweet without me listening them to death.
Lourié's 5 Préludes Fragiles. Makes me feel aware of how easy I am to break at the moment, but also how pretty survivalism through fragility can be.
Ravel's Pavane for a Dead Princess. It's not about a dead princess, just one in the past, but it makes me feel like I'm that princess, rich and sad and stepping around in a bright, cream-beige ballroom. Instead of just solely sad.
Debussy's Images. II. Hommage à Rameau. A quiet plaintiveness with occasionally rising energy helps me tend closer to neutrality.
Stanchinsky's Prelude in the Lydian Mode. As the n-tuplets get desperate, I get desperate to fix everything. But then the curses stop and we return to a pretty but occasionally sickly quiet. The nonsenses are pinpricks in its floral thoughts.
Glinka/Balakirev's The Lark. Reminds me that I'm fluttering, not just floundering.
In any order, but I usually start with the Fragile Preludes (especially the middle few of the set). Lyrical songs are usually for higher energy/mood to me
Hey guys, gals, and Jofans! It's ya boy, Jofa, and we're here with another video about how to use the ping command!

So, today we'll be teaching you about ping. But first, I want to apologize for my upload schedule. I've been having a lot of trouble lately, my bicycle broke down, I got a papercut, and my wife's dad's brother's dog-walker-in-law crashed my divorce, but that's a story for another time. Anyway, it's time to start our... can you believe it? #500 Skill Videos. sips water That's like a 500th anniversary of skills. Speaking of skills,

Alright, enough rambling. Here's how to use the ping command. Ping was invented by bucket makers when they realized dropping a coin in a bucket made a sound. ping... let's see. Oops, typo. Anyway, that's what it looks like!
