this is FreeAssembly, a non-toxic design, programming, and art collective. post your share-alike (CC SA, GPL, BSD, or similar) projects here! collaboration is welcome, and mutual education is too.
in brief, this community is the awful.systems answer to Hacker News. read this article for a solid summary of why having a less toxic collaborative community is important from a technical standpoint in addition to a social one.
some posting guidelines apply in addition to the typical awful.systems stuff:
- all types of passion projects and contributions are welcome, including and especially those that aren't programming or engineering in nature
- this is an explicitly noncommercial, share-alike space
- don't force yourself to do work you don't enjoy, or demand it of others

This is a good text, although I don't understand "coded by dildo"... is that a reference to some incident?
Aah, the good old days :') I miss it when the hypes were so relatively harmless.
...accurately predicted!
just me and the loved one ranting about tumblr being written by whacking the keyboard with dildos until some exemplary PHP falls out
Lol. Well, still better than using Copilot I guess.
