Neocities.org
i was reading your thoughts archive & i agree with your stuff on foss fans. while i do have a degoogling post, i don't use linux at all. don't get me wrong, i get why some people love it. but the thing i always go back to is convience. sure, customizing its look & not have your data stolen sounds cool. but i don't wanna lose all the stuff i downloaded, or install apps 7 diff ways or learn 50 command prompts

a real "techbro" is someone who likes technology, a fake one uses it for money.... (YOUR WEBSITE IS AMAZING, DONT LISTEN TO EM!)

@jaidenle dw it's fine. i just think it's funny because i dont see neocities as "techbro" shit at all (depending on your definition ofc). if anything he should have called my interest in i2p or freetube "techbro shit" because at least their fanbases are what most ppl think when they hear "techbro"

for some reason, the bullet points on my blog post won't fit inside the window body no matter how i adjust the width. it was fine in the live preview, very weird.

Instead of doing li tags, you could just attach bullet points as Unicode characters to the text of your messages. That'd get the same visuals but avoid anything weird with HTML indentation. (also, do you have an answer to my webdav question or were you just liking the post? I'm not sure how to parse liking-without-commenting on question posts.)

You might be able to do something like p::before, but just putting your "bullet points" into the text of your HTML proper should definitely work, and it's not like anybody's going to not have Unicode support. (and if you're really worried about it, you can locally load the font.)

should i do a sitemap page? i don't think i have too many pages, but it could be nice to provide some descriptions. granted a lot of the page names are self explanatory

okay yeah that was a rant in response to some other folks -- like, the thing that really bugs me is, as mentioned, that it is a fandom, not a movement. it's tech for tech's sake and the only use cases they care about are each other. So if you're like me and would love to de-Google and use Linux and stuff, but need to have a phone that works on phone plans and Office backwards compatibility for work, then, uh...
yeye, fortunately my last job used libreoffice if you can believe it. but like the best way to promote foss is to have sites or programs that are just better. for example, my brother doesn't care abt foss & has given up on privacy. but he still uses firefox as his default bc chrome eats up sm ram.
sometimes i feel pressure to use linux, like "i dont REALLY care about privacy if i still use windows/android as my main os" even though i'm doing everything else i can. including using privacy conscious settings for windows & android
