    since you say this helps

    i would put uploading a plaintextfile at number one (1), because webapps (Blorp included) suffer from stuttering and slow keypresses with spotty autosaves in drafts. i mean to say typing can slow to a pace where virtual keyboard input is output into the textbox almost a second later (on my old ARM7 phone with LineageOS to let me continue do all the things without buying another phone every year.) so using an external texteditor of my choice to write a plaintext file, then i manually start Blorb, then i manually click post & a new button that says “read from plaintext file”; i figure this way is the least effort for devs, since i imagine programming a prompt to open external editors when publishing a post and then passing that data once the texteditor exits would be way too big of a detour to make. so nr1 request for me is: Blorb read a textfile to fill a post instead of me needing to type into the webapp.

    second would be my getting to manually add posts to the “do not show read posts” setting’s list. swipe away posts in the feed to the side, instead of as now needing to wonder what the automatic process for marking a post as read and no longer to be shown is. i’d dig manual way - me swiping the post to the side - being the event to exclude posts from my feed. to not go through all the posts… means less time & mental energy for me spent scrolling and clicking in on posts or voting then reloading voting reloading… reloading so often is like pulling a slot machine on the mind to me and it takes some suspenseful time. i’d rather just swipe away posts to exclude without having to, as typed above, reload after waiting for automatic marking of posts to somewhy happen. it’s a bit vague as is rn.

    third would be these links you already have a great thing planned out for!

    thanks for Blorb, take a calm day and be well

    you’re doing great and i appreciate Blorp as is! no pressure to fix this specific thing

    cool of you to reply! sorry for any negative emotions my public complaining caused, i wouldn’t have wanted to complain like this i realize after feeling how it felt to see that you’ve read this

    i think the idea of choosing whether or not to continue in the blorp webapp is cool but not a dealbreaker by any means. take care and have a good day, thanks for actually making a client for piefed & lemmy and sharing it at all

    sorry again! I’ll reconsider how i word my critique going forward, because i genuinely feel remorseful now

    yes it’s a comment i wrote out in a post that was more than a bit irrelevant to what i was writing out.

    wdym with the edit about an answer from me in no stupid questions?

    edit: oh i see now. yes the Blorp app for piefed is what i’m using and it’s links are a mess. i just clicked “share link to comment” !










  • these began without allowance from state. originally barns on ‘bondgårdar’ were dedicated to this purpose seasonally by ‘bönder’, so there was direct source of food and space given on “private property”. these days all ‘folkhögskolor’ have long-courses — spanning a year (august to june) with some for permaculture and other agrarian purposes starting in january — and short-courses, spanning a week. these days most ‘folkhögskolor’ act as hostels and conference halls too in addition to gymnasiums for teens who y’know hate being in state gymnasium. (edit: the oldest students i’ve met are retired 60 year olds. no age restriction on folkhögskolor.) sympathic way forward, my life would’ve been better had i gone this route sooner than later.

    i would suggest finding private property owners who can provide a kitchen, showers and space to house people (bunkbeds can be a start before finding everyone a separate room.) maybe you who read this are one such private property owner? /rhetorical question

    i would also suggest finding ‘studieförbund’ like ABF, NBV, IOGT-NTO etc. equivalents for funding and mostly as these are a short-cut through paperwork to legitimize the endeavour as an education with legal right to endow grades and certifications. like reading up school grades, becoming a certified plumber, et al.

    regardless of if these two are known to you or anyone today i strongly recommend everyone to just travel here on a study visa ASAP. our government hates ‘folkhögskolor’ and are aggressively defunding these. it’s also more and more real-life hidden lore to know of ‘folkhögskolor’. how our entire wellfare comes from educating the marginalized in society at ‘folkhögskolor’. we have 155 still right now, something like one in every city. most are never full because people don’t know they exist these days: so you and anyone have good chances to get in. on the one i am at right now i met with an english citizen, a german citizen, an austrian citizen, an irish citizen and many refugees from war-torn countries coming here to learn swedish. think of this as a boarding school with cheap prices and no barriers to entry. everyone wants you to succeed here.

    i would be glad to keep talking of this, compiling & translating & sharing hard-to-discover knowledge on a sub dedicated to ‘folkhögskolor’ and in direct messages- whether here on the FediVerse or 1-on-1 over chatmail (an E2EE email evolution. see the free libre open source DeltaChat & it’s twin project ArcaneChat.)

    • StartPage, Mojeek, SearXNG, YaCy
    • hyperlink surfing “extranets”, as you would WikiMedia WikiPedia InternetArchive FediVerse posts etc.
    • webscrapers like Monolith etc. for offline PIR and just as you say convenience of having it all there

    i look forward to reading what you come up with, because i am still kinda at the theoretical stage with keeping such a knowledgebase.

    edit: i keep thinking a plaintext document of information is way simpler to deal with than webpages. at what point is information posted online preserved in it’s “original” form? just dumping this FediThread into a plaintext file or a folder of plaintext files with names being ‘hierarchy•postID•username’ or something so it is presented self-organized.

    OP is ¤, 1st rank comments are ¤a ¤b ¤c and 2nd rank comments attached to comment ¤a are ¤a-a ¤a-b ¤a-c and 3rd rank comments attached to ¤a-c are ¤a-c-a ¤a-c-b ¤a-c-c so on. this then lists itself in a self-organized way, given all ASCII & unicode characters are provided in order. not just a-Z… because that would limit size of posts to take on.

    ofcourse more difficult and complicated solutions like selfhosting webservers and managing ports and databases exist… not that i grasp the necessity for so many services.





  • to summarize the conclusions thus far, as is my secretary duty

    amendments to the protocol of this EU directive are as follows in the first line of stallings amendments:

    TECO is to be legacy alternative to EMACS and all personell are to be provided paid leave for educational purposes.

    ED is to be legacy alternative to VIM and all personell are to be provided paid leave for educational purposes.

    up for further discussion: are ideologically united editors such as VILE (VI Like Emacs) middleground or offensive to both parties? is it right of marginalized editors to invoke a non-monopolyculture clause: “will SAM or VIS be up for consideration?” asks [name redacted under GDPR]




  • be a stickler for rhetoric, i’ll say it how i see it when i read something wack.

    idc for the continued argument about whichever topic you threw in there - open borders? so i’m dropping that. nothing personal, don’t take offense.

    an assumption that i don’t mean fascist is ‘godtycklig’ here, the meaning is worth clarifying forever though:

    fascism is the cultural uniformity of people as enforced by fearmongering and discrimination against marginalized groups of freethinkers by the sacking of the state apparatus for wellfare (education, healthcare and care in a broader sense) and direct communication between populace & governance (rn the situation antagonistic bothways with apathy from voters towards parties and detachement from party leaders who flaunt wealth in Gatsby style… in the 1980s the swedish prime minister was interviewed by literal children about the nuclear question and there was no denying even such journalists interviews & airtime.) Fascism occurs when capital institutions are situated above state apparatus (privatization of government, to begin with this occured most prominently from the IT sector in educational systems being digitized then other parts of wellfare and now collective traffic is at the whims of overpaid & underdelivering tech companies pandering AI features that break critical digital infrastructure for the first time in me family’s lifetime… that is a footnote for future reference, but not for any continued discussion in this thread.)

    my sources are three generations around a family dinner table, friends and guests for the past decades.

    now i’m closing the discussion from my end, but i am glad about getting some anecdotes written down & shared online =) ✌️
