I was actually planning to do an update later this week. I set a personal deadline to get to all the to rewrite tagged articles by the end of the week and then explain my progress. However, I ended up finishing all of it today.

Alongside listing the changes, I’ll explain my reasoning in some cases.

• All the Tropes and TVTropes
  • This was badly written and I don’t care enough about either to bother rewriting it.
• Cairo Desktop
  • Something I’ll be mentioning a lot is my general distancing from software. As part of this, I got rid of the Cairo article (which wasn’t really much to begin with). I’ve just found I’m not as interested in software as I thought I was.
• Cube World Discord Server History
  • This one I think is a bit badly written for one, but it also exists on the Bibanon. Why bother maintaining my version?
• Extreme Categorisation
  • It served no particular purpose.
• Fandom
  • Similar to my distancing from software, I find the rest of the non-Chanverse internet to not be that interesting anymore.
• Fediverse
  • Part of my distancing from software. I also happen to not care about the Fediverse at all and simply pointing out how it’ll be a failure isn’t that appealing.
• Immersive Explorer
  • Distancing from software.
• Kingdom of One City
  • This one I just didn’t like. It can just be summarised as “a result of the HRE”.
• LiteStep
  • Distancing from software. I also don’t use LiteStep and I only like non|step, which I take design inspirations from.
• RetroShare
  • While it was part of my original rewrite wave, I didn’t like even the rewrite version. Considering I’m going away from software, I felt it was a good time.
• RSS
  • Just bad.
• Shoko
  • Software distancing and I just personally didn’t like the article. I use Shoko daily anyway, but I don’t really mind what it is currently.
• Shows
  • This index was removed because there are currently no articles for any shows.
• Splicing
  • Bad article from the early days.
• Standardised Language
  • I don’t really believe in the concept anymore so I scrapped the article.
• Tomorrowland Analysis
  • It was a dumb analysis that I came up with randomly while on a walk. Nothing too much to miss here.
• UNIX Philosophy
  • Distancing from software and I also don’t really like the philosophy?
• Web Browsers
  • Distancing from software. I also happen to only have 3(?) browsers installed. Of those, I use only 1 of them daily, 1 I use if I need to check compatibility and the last one as a bit of a joke.

I didn’t delete all articles, in some cases I just moved them somewhere else (like the playground).

• Aero
  • Only one I merged into another article. It currently exists in Windows Ricing
• Anime Artistic Styles
  • I moved this to the playground because I like the idea.
• Anon State
  • The whole idea needs to be re-written slightly. I also realised a bit later that it actually describes modern democracies a little, which spooked me.
• Community Migration
  • I like the idea, but hate the article.
• Czech Fantasy
  • This article was never finished. Hopefully I can finish it one day.
• Despair
  • My philosophical views have changed so drastically since I wrote this that it needs to be re-visited.
• FoxTalk
  • I moved this to my private wiki to be worked on with my other story ideas.
• Guide to Danganronpa
  • I didn’t like the article.
• Media Rating
  • I find it useful myself, although I don’t think others will.
• Megacorporations
  • I’m thinking of merging it into the governments article (once it’s finished).
• Osu
  • There wasn’t much to it. So despite having a banner it’s out.

Besides Acronyms and Nakige the rest are just skeletons to be expanded upon.

• Acronyms
• Cross Ange: Tenshi to Ryū no Rondo
• Danganronpa
• Nakigē
• Sword Art Online

I removed quite a few of these (because I didn’t like them) and they may or may not return at some point. I’m not gonna bother listing them.

I’m thinking of completely redoing the indexes for media. I think they’re fine, but could be better; considering I link to them near-constantly. I’m not sure how yet so I’ll leave that for later.
The start for the LoreBook will also change to reflect the distancing from software. The philosophy section (which I previously removed and merged into the misc. section) will be reinstated as the “Satori” section. I picked “Satori” because wiktionary claims it’s a Japanese approximation(?) of “Love of Wisdom” which is the meaning I originally intended from “Philosophy.” Alongside that, the “Internet” section is getting removed entirely.
Despite my distancing from Software, I will probably create a “Recommended Software” article, similar to the InstallGentoo ones but me-flavoured.
The Chanverse stuff was dumped into the “Misc” section. Since the rest would have looked very imbalanced without it.
The number of articles looks to have dropped from 81 to 52. So… at least something?

Ninja… out!
