Everything You Think You Know About DeltaChat Is Wrong

I am smitten with DeltaChat... DeltaChat has been making massive strides lately and I think you should consider using it as your full time secure messenger.

I want to get back into creative writing in a way that doesn't suck ass.

I don't really want a full scrapbook tool, as there's a lot of existing things that do it well, but there seems to be a lack of scrivener-like tools that run on linux, are foss, work with Markdown, and allow you to do the great scene/chapter shuffle in a separate steps, with a board view. Writing markdown isn't hard, it's the whole origanizing/assembling the works part that's tedious. Rendering it is also something I can tackle myself.

I feel like maybe I should just write my own thing. Maybe someone else would be into the market for a shitty TUI that does this.

Giving a serious talk to my cat while he's sleeping peacefully on my foot after being a nuisance for an hour whlle I was trying to sleep. It opened with "Has anyone ever informed you that you are a huge, useless piece of shit?"

i was quite surprised to discover that no one had registered deleteduser [dot] com, and was curious to see how many emails i'd get if i registered it, assuming many orgs 'delete' logic probably just overwrote the email address with [email protected] or similar.

The answer, is at least 3 different orgs in the hour that I've owned that domain and been listening for email.

And yes, all of those emails contain the actual PII of the person who has been 'deleted' :-D

I inexplicably had the title screen song (or well, handful of PC Speaker bleep bloops) to Striker, (1985, DOS, CGA) pop in my head just now. It is the first computer video game I've ever played, on an Amstrad PC512, as a child.
