I have been thinking about a science fiction story about an traveler from a parallel world coming here and going 'huh wtf, why didn't your computers create a revolution', and then he finally figures out it is because in his universe Dijkstra got hit into an accident before he could write the 'you should start counting at zero' paper. By which I'm saying, blame the Dutch.

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
