> I have no cryptocurrencies and feel good every time it goes down because it validates my decision.

That's like saying "I'm anti-vax and feel good every time someone vaccinated gets COVID".

That's like saying blocking anti-vax videos but showing science videos talking about the how vaccines work is showing one side only.

Shameless plug:

I wrote my own blog engine in Python (https://github.com/betodealmeida/nefelibata). It generates static pages, but publishes a snippet to Twitter/Mastodon/etc., linking back to the blog post.

People can only comment on the social media sites, and periodically the comments get scraped and appended to the blog post. Here's an example: https://blog.taoetc.org/mastodon_integration/index.html

This way, people can comment in the other venues where they're used to, and comments get persisted past the lifetime of these venues.

> "I'm not interested in Go, I'm interested in the power of future computers!"

Reminded me of this story. I told a co-worker, while we worked on our DB:

  - I wish we had the money to run Oracle.
  - Are you crazy? Postgres is awesome and perfect for us!
  - I know. I'm not saying "I wish we were running Oracle". I just wanted to have the money to do that. :)

There's also Ardour, which I use after starting in Ableton and going through Bitwig. I love Bitwig and its modular approach, but I really wanted to make music with open source software.
