Got my new velvety Thinkpad. Feeling as excited as an 11yo kid :-). Haven't done fresh Ubuntu install in ages, and it's a good opportunity to get rid of all the cruft my old machine accumulated over 7 years.

I’ve just come back from a long PTO, rambling through Rwanda, seeing how they’ve rebuilt their society, and experiencing gorillas and monkeys and all sorts of wildlife up close. Had a great time…
So coming back to the great state framework debate between Redux, Zustand and Mobx just really makes me want to give up tech immediately and crawl back into the jungle.
Anyone doing anything worthwhile in tech these days?

What does "the galleria of jewelry" even mean? What is a galleria? Is that good? Are other businesses the galleria of whatever they do? Your sign gives me more questions than answers, Jared.

I always forget that `letter-spacing` exists in CSS.
I think I have "never change the font!" pounded into my head from years as a designer, but occasionally, modifying that property just a teensy tiny bit can really work wonders.

👉🏼“The defendant does not need to explicitly incite threats or violence in his public statements, because he well knows that, by publicly targeting perceived adversaries with inflammatory language, he can maintain a patina of plausible deniability”👈🏼Zoe Tillman:

#ReturnToMonkeyIsland was nominated for a Mac App Store award. Most people don't know that RtMI was built on a Mac and then ported to other platforms. Topsy-turvy to how it is normally done.

Wow. Just learned about Tertulia, a “co-op bookstore for avid readers.” Anyone else know about this site or have impressions to share?
“Tertulia is co-owned by our co-op members, a community of avid readers. This means that we put the interests of readers, authors, and a healthy book ecosystem first.”

@pluralistic @phae @owa This, by @pluralistic, cuts to the core:
"An app is just a web-page wrapped in enough IP to make it a crime to defend yourself against corporate predation"
The iOS and Android/Play teams benefit from a weak, fragmented, incapable web because it transfers power away from users (through their choice in browser) to the private platform owners.

Serendipitously, @pluralistic is making the case for why the web is good, actually, while @phae outlines why real, effective browser choice makes that potential a reality on the @owa blog. Good back-to-back:

web components, and in particular defaulting to the lightdom, are having a moment.
momentum's growing despite inertia for userland components systems. slowly but surely I see more and more orgs dropping axios for fetch. GraphQL for rest. jest for built-in test runners.
love to see it.

A helpful model for what Apple has done to the web over the past decade is the Private Equity playbook [1]:
- corner a big chunk of a market
- extract *extreme* amounts of revenue [2]
- underfund maintenance and load up on (technical) debt, such that bankruptcy becomes inevitable
In this case, the thing that is going bankrupt is the web ecosystem, which from the perspective of Apple's native app ecosystem sure is a dang shame, huh?

So imagine you cheat on your partner, like tons of times, for decades. Constantly cheating. And finally, you get caught.
And in response, the only atonement you offer is a short story you wrote about an imaginary better person than you are, who didn't cheat.
No apology; no admittance of wrongdoing. Just a few nice little pages that ultimately mean nothing in the real world and do nothing to address what you did.
Ok now you're caught up on Supreme Court ethics thing.
