Here's a riddle:

There were three boyfriends of a girl. All boys find out about it and now she has to choose and marry one of them.

Not being able to decide on one, she commits suicide.

First boy commited suicide going to the same place where she died and they were both cremated together.

Second boy waited, believing that she'll return and when she returns, then they will marry.

Third boy got mentally disturbed and turned mad.

While the mad man was  wondering and roaming here and there, a priest finds him, he asks him the reason why he got mad. He tells the priest the story of the girl and 3 boys and how she died and what made him mad.

The priest gives him some holy water and tells the mad man to spray to the cremated ash to respawn the girl back to life.

The boy goes and sprays the water to the cremated ash and instead of just the girl respawning, both the boy and the girl who committed suicide respawned. Because the cremated ash was mixed together.

Now all three boys and the girl were alive. And the girl had to decide on marrying a boy out three.

She decides on marrying one of them, with a satisfactory logic. Who did she marry and why?

Did we really go from the Information Age to the Misinformation Age?

In addition to logging out from the social media sites, I am blocking the login forms using the element picker of uBlock Origin.

And I like the new twitter logo, it symbolizes exactly what we should do. DO NOT ENTER [X]

I am trying to reduce my scrolling habit, and for that I logged out from all the social media from every device.  But, after some time I feel like scrolling so I go to those sites. And I always ended up scrolling linkedin somehow.

I remember logging out of my account multiple times. But, apparently this shitty website has a dark pattern.  Who am I kidding, it's microslop afterall.

When I logout and close the tab, and relaunch the website, there is a threeish second timer before I automatically log in, and this happens the next time, even if I have pressed the cancel button.

I had to clear all data of the site to stop this from happening, the actual logout.

I propose crawler honeypot + robots.txt.

A page with bold letters, *If you are a human go back. (Or, anything a human understands not to do.)* and a link accompanying it.

Any crawler that doesn't follow the robots.txt and visits the link in that page gets banned.

Side-effects: Curious humans get banned as well.

Well that match was a rollercoaster of emotions. #woldcup #argentina #egypt

Tried doing something new.

I had my phone or my laptop to choose as a mic so bear with me.

This is my smolweb article in video form.

My precious paperweight.

I watched two movies today:
1. Sound of Falling
2. The Color of Pomegranates

Both movies were not in the language I understand so I watched them with subtitles. But, regardless of what language it was or if I understood what the characters were saying it was very difficult to piece together what the movie was trying to show.

Yet, I didn't fall asleep and didn't want to switch the movie to something else. The visuals were mesmerizing.

I do think these movies have meaning but for me it was abstract art. It captured my attention and almost hypnotized me via my eyes. I don't know, these movies made me blank and full of questions at the same time.

Just awesome!

I started writing this yesterday, I promise!

For this(last) month, I didn't just write a poem and call it a day (month?). Though that will be coming soon.

I decided to write about how I set up my #archlinux system from boot-loader to #niri .

Send me your replies here if you know how to solve some things I mentioned there.

I had forgotten about the fediverse, wow!

I decided to use my free will and write poems for each day of valentine's week but forgot to post about it.

If it gets too pessimistic, read "Hug".

New year! A neo logo? Maybe? probably? surely? I already decided. Yes!

Pulled toward negative spaces I rearranged the lines of my original logo and also squished it a little to fit more on round+square containers.

Showing off my itsy bitsy little pen collection.

This static site is easy and entirely free to set up.

It's design is heavily inspired by Manu's blog. And it focuses on webmentions as a means of interaction.

It is a primitive, selfhosted(almost), customizable (just HTML/CSS), simple and healthy social media.

I ask for your views on it.
Here's the repo: https://github.com/carbonsandoxygens/template.carboxide

Tried poetry after a long time.

For my blog this month I wrote about implementing #webmention on my static site. I hope you guys will find it interesting if not useful.

Has it ever happened to you that the software you use is so good that you just make up reasons just to use it?

I configured #typst on neovim with tinymist and typst-preview and it is so good that I end up spending more time documenting things instead of doing the work.

These days I don't write blogs I just create paper like PDFs and save it on my computer.
