Just overheard some sad-ass 50yo goths at tonight's under-attended Death Guild complaining about all the "normies".
Can you see these "normies"? Are these "normies" in the room with you right now?

Either I'm mysteriously fascinating... or that place is 50% fake accounts chasing abandoned timelines.

The current state of X is a good metaphor for the current state of America, in that the only actual people left on X are Very Important People and awful monsters who are seeking to manipulate Very Important People, but the Very Important People would rather share space with awful monsters than go somewhere else where they might be perceived as fractionally less important

I have never had an issue with Migration Assistant until now. No idea what bug is up its butt. Perhaps it is the magic of Liquid Glass.

After two failed attempts with a Thunderbolt cable running between the two Macs, I am trying next time with the Time Machine SSD plugged in. Will it be slower? Yes. Will it work? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Next step is manual migration, which will suck a whole lot.

The more I understand #AIDoomerism the more I get this icky feeling that this is just a reskinned version of white supremacy.
Oh, all these white dudes who sell a modern mechanical Turk think they invented god? You don't say.
And it's so funny that defenders of the ideology are like, oh you don't believe me? What if I told you *these* people agree with me?
And it's just a list of the largest white guy IT circle jerk in all of history

@sinvega When my last 15+ year old PC could no longer be coaxed into working I made a conscious break with that mindset and got a mini PC that costs less than most gamer GPUs.
The vast majority of what I play is not very demanding at all.
It's tiny, silent and plays 99% of what I want to play. It's a relief to not be concerned with any of that *bullshit*.

@joeri_s Some attribution is possible from HTTP Archive data (which tries to tag constituent libraries), but this is all confounded now because many 3p libraries and widgets pull in full copies, e.g., of React. It's *bad* out there.

An entertaining day at the backyard. First, a very busy and dedicated squirrel was gathering nuts from around the area and storing them in a hole right outside my window. It's been at it for several hours! And then a raccoon came dug out the hole and ate all the nuts. All in ~10 minutes. A great show and a lesson to not apply the notion of humanity and fairness to wild nature.
(Being a weak, emotional human, I did throw some more nuts for the squirrel after the raccoon went away.)

Inspired by perfnow.nl, I've dusted off drafts of my network and device situation analysis. Good news/bad news: devices and networks are improving, but web page payloads are swelling.
The result is predictable: the web is usable for the wealthy, but less so for everyone else. This is an ethical crisis for frontend:

the big problem with that Adversarial Poetry versus AI paper is that they did half the work with chatbots and not humans.
they translated prompts into poems using chatbots.
then they judged how well the poems jailbroke the chatbots using other chatbots to do the judging?!
Looking over the work, I can see no reason it requires chatbots to do these jobs. This was gratuitous, lazy and should be a discredit to these researchers.

I wonder what the mix of technologies looks like over time. Are these pages growing because they’re jQuery sites being replaced by React, or because they’re React sites upgrading to newer heavier dependency versions? I would like to see a breakdown of page weight by technology stack.
