Spot on. The definitions have been stretched too thin to retain meaning. If these are acceptable definitions then every impermenant structure is all-weather proof. We just need to be clairvoyant enough to migrate the structure before weather happens!

The folks at Sublight Dynamics had a really neat product in this vein that I was excited about. Seems like the perfect flightsim controller. They had trouble getting fully to market. Website is still up though so I'm holding out hope!

As with most systems these categories don't work universally because they're firm definitions for complex works which exist on sliding scales. We may identify tropes from a variety of trends and subgenres within a single work of art. Our categories guide us to the greater conversations and traditions some work may be participating in and are no more prescriptive than classifications of evolutionary speciation or morphology. That does not diminish their usefulness: it allows us the freedom to use them as scaffolding to build our own models for the thing itself being studied and compare those models to other's for consistency and depth of consideration.

Waste is part of life. Especially waste as a byproduct of good faith attempts. Is it better to avoid creating waste? Yes, however; perfection is the enemy of progress, no one is clairvoyant, and best is conditional anyway.

My point is: you didn't do anything wrong. The mere fact you're thinking about it reveals you've grown wiser for the experience. Kudos, friend. Thanks for sharing.

I often default to one of the Iosevka variants. https://typeof.net/Iosevka/ https://github.com/be5invis/Iosevka

I use a customized set for terminal/IDE and like Aile for documents. Etoile is neat. Feels typewriterish. All covered by the SIL Open Font License.

Sideberry has an auto snapshot feature which restores previous states. I've successfully used it twice in three years.

I agree with the idea that one should not trust DNS with any information one does not want public. I'm not totally convinced DNS is irreparably broken though. What are your thoughts on DNS over HTTPS?

It can certainly help pierce the shroud of qualia and aid knowledge transfer. Other forms of communication like diagrams, portrait sketches, and maps prove this out.

No mention of Tacgnol? The meme pantheon has certainly waned in power since the beforetimes.

The biting antagonism of your message's tone undermines it's content.

Even so you've chosen to die on a strange hill. What you seem to be arguing for is conditional on how "money to to continue" is understood in this context. While I believe I understand your point: it's moot. A continuation has occurred. A continuation is occuring. If your assertions were correct that would not be possible.
