I've tried dozens and none work better for me than $EDITOR $HOME/txt/note where $EDITOR is Good. The only thing I want from a notes app is to sync txt with my phone, let me edit the files and do exactly nothing else. T

Extra interesting is how sillable-reversed versions words with normal and 'slang' meanings retain the slang meaning but lose the original. For example, gato means cat. It's also an insult (the particulars of which escape me

I don't think so. In Argentina we have a similar thing called Vesre (re-ves).

Yeah, I like that the arbitrary nature of non-meaningful names frees us from all these drawbacks and compromises. A simple system. But outside of strictly pseudonymous places like 4chan it erodes the concept of a unique username altogether.

by emiliovesprini 7y ago
As far as I can tell, there are two systems for meaningful names (as opposed to "arbitrary" ones like phone numbers or 4chan IDs): 1. A first-come-first-serve system like Twitter. I'd list drawbacks but this comment section

diff on mobile? you mean adapting a UI based on 80ish monospace characters to a screen that fits in your pocket? I don't think anything is impossible but it almost seems we would have to code differently for that to be viable. Out of c
