If you have had an adult family member or friend that was recently diagnosed with a previously unknown developmental psychological disorder (ADHD, autism, etc), you might have noticed something that confused you. Right around the time they were diagnosed, maybe even a bit before, they "suddenly" began to exhibit symptoms when never had before. You might be like, "I've known this person for X years and they never behaved like this." You might even think they are "acting" or something.

Modern CSS is absolutely the best.

Grid is awesome. Throwing together an animated accordion effect by using CSS Grid and setting row height to `0fr` is one of my all-time favorite CSS-tricks.

Fascinating both for what it says about dev & what it says about statistics:

A gamedev realized Linux users were just 5.8% of their sales, but represented 38% of bug reports.

Then they looked at those numbers closer, and realized. Linux users were not experiencing more bugs. Almost none of the Linux-user bugs were Linux-related. Linux users were simply *more likely to file bugs*.

Their conclusion: A linux port pays for itself bc it nerdsnipes ppl into giving u free QA

I know it's wrong to be annoyed about this, but @Meyerweb's epiphany only happened because the JS Industrial Complex was so afraid of the interop that WC provide that they spent years FUDding about bits of a system nobody forced anyone to use *because we designed it to be composable!*

https://meyerweb.com/eric/thoughts/2023/11/01/blinded-by-the-light-dom/

Light DOM-only WC are not "weird", they're just one potential use, and one we anticipated folks without the need for isolation would explore.

I don’t think pitching #ActivityPub to existing social media makes sense. Adding federation to a non-federated social media service isn’t a net win.

You have to spend the time and money to implement it. Then you have to spend the time and money to maintain it. Most of the time, ActivityPub support is implemented as mastodon compatibility, not true AP support. This means having to constantly make sure you keep up with masto changes and constantly fielding issues with other implementations because you didn’t fully implement AP.

And after implementation, you don’t just gain access to a ton of new users, you have to take on the burden of moderating all of it (which is a persistent ant recurring time and money cost). And since the #fediverse has a ton of opinions on moderation, you’re always pissing somebody off.

And after all that, what you’ve enabled is an easy way for your users to recreate their social graph without your service. The idea of an interconnected social web is cool, and hopefully it’ll be the futrue, but it doesn’t make sense for profit-driven businesses.

It's been 14 years since I drew this "Reverse-Trick-Or-Treating" comic.
It was based on a true story I found in a comment on Metafilter and is likely the most-viewed comic I've ever made. https://docpop.org/2009/11/the-greatest-halloween-costume-ever/

Attachments:

• An 8 panel comic. The title says "The Most Amazing Halloween Costume Ever based on a story by np312 art by Doctor Popular" The first panel shows a kid dressed up as Spock and sitting on a couch in his home when the doorbell rings. The text says "One Halloween our doorbell rang". The next panel shows him opening the door, expecting to see trick or treaters. The next panel reveals a door on the other side of the kid's door. A sign says "Please knock". The kid knocks twice on this pop-up door and then it opens, revealing a bunch of college dudes dressed as really old grandmothers. "Oh my, look at your costumes" one of the grandmas says as they pinc the face of the the young kid. The grandmother adds, "Such cute trick or treaters" before handing the kid some candy. The college kids then close their door, pick it up, and move it to the next house leaving the young Spock in shock at what just happened.

GNU Guix is a transactional package manager and a distribution of the GNU system that respects user freedom. While much of GNU Guix is implemented in GNU Guile, the guix-daemon is currently implemented in C++.
