And, like, I get it? Being able to mix/match is a benefit to WC, and things that reduce the efficacy of that benefit aren't great, but comparisons to the perfect (when the fallback works well) are, at best, performative. The comparison to the *alternative* is more on-point.

Events have overtaken some of it, but the core holds.

So it seems some birdsite people are complaining that WC SSR needs framework integration, totally unlike their [ checks notes ] framework-specific SSR/hydration for legacy toolkits 🙄

Look, what's with this recent trends of not using capital letters at the beginning of a sentence? I don't mean short text messages, I stumbled upon several texts and long comments written like that in just few past days.

It's definitely not the natural simplifications which happens to human languages with time, because it actually makes text harder to scan visually. Is it some stupid defiant anti-establishment stance? I'm confused…

The Parascientific Escape trilogy is priced at $2 a piece on the 3DS eshop right now.

I've only played the first one but I remember it being a cute little room escape adventure game/VN. Less difficult/ambitious than stuff like 999 but def. in the same vein.

The store page shows the release dates but for future reference, the release order is:

- Cruise in the Distant Seas
- Gear Detective
- Crossing at the Farthest Horizon

I am really annoyed when articles from #Germany compare our tax system with the #US #tax system.

Here in Germany, its pretty unifed and you pay the same tax on products and income independent of your location.

In the US it all depends on your location - but all the articles i’ve seen so far ignore that important fact.
