Is it so wrong to want a big, strong woman to sweep me off my feet and look after me?

I could be a good housewife, I promise!

I'm realizing the only thing that saved me from creating a Facebook account early on was my taking the "friend" concept literally and getting stressed out about having it turned into an explicit binary. After all the other issues continued to come to light, it was easy to maintain not having an account, but that initial strong repulsion came from their "friend" concept. If it had been some other metaphor, I might've caved to peer pressure like anybody else. 😆

(I know star wars isn't exactly known for its insightful and relevant social commentary but the fact that androids can be reprogrammed makes them really piss-poor stand-ins for racism metaphors)

The React Omerta still hangs over it (Reactors aren't allowed to say "this isn't working" until an FBer does), but Shopify buying Remix is, in my read of the tech, a cutting critique of RSC.

They tried it with Hydrogen, it...um....exploded?...in client-side complexity, and for the good of the product, needed an alternative that wasn't in the San Mateo dogma.

• As recognised in the Market Study, the requirement to use WebKit on iOS severely limits the ability of browser vendors to differentiate their products and offer alternative features to consumers which would otherwise be available. Developers are also hampered by limited competition and choice in terms of features; they face reduced user-facing performance and capabilities, alongside less frequent bug fixes and updates.

• Mozilla supports the inclusion of in-app browsers in the Market Investigation and has separately highlighted this issue since the publication of the Final Report. In-app browsers can be used to bypass consumer choice, such as where a consumer has specifically selected a browser other than the pre-installed operating system browser (for example, when clicking on hyperlinks). In this context issues concerning choice architecture are also relevant, underlining the interconnectedness of various remedies. In—app browsers can also be used by native apps to undermine user privacy, for example collecting data without the consumer’s knowledge or consent.

For the avoidance of doubt: the design of React Server Face...er..."React Server Components" was *always* going to be a slow disaster, by inspection.

Why?

Because *any* component in a page could pull in a HUGE dependency graph if it was marked to run on the client.

Requiring perfection in component structure is not a solution to...

[ checks notes ]

...imperfectly structured client component deps.
