‘During previous periods of unrest over unpopular taxes, the president was accused of bribing opposition members of Parliament and setting up meetings with politicians planning anti-tax rallies in order to cajole them into stopping the action. But the young people on the streets today don’t speak that political language. There is no central leadership to bribe, threaten or push into endless “peace dialogues.”’

creepy
Mastodon Feed#Mozilla is horribly mismanaged. They have rolled out ad tracking exactly the way a sleazy consent-ignoring ad company would.
The tragedy is that their self-destruction only helps other ad-company-owned browsers.

“Not long before shots rang out, rallygoers noticed a man climbing to the roof of a nearby building and warned local police, according to two law enforcement officials.
One local police officer climbed to the roof and encountered Crooks, who pointed his rifle at the officer. The officer retreated down the ladder, and Crooks quickly took a shot toward Trump, and that’s when Secret Service snipers shot him”

The cursed thing about client-side rendering is that once you yeet your UI into JS, you become responsible for *every* affordance and UI contract. The more advanced the user-base, the harder it bites. And the script for those affordances competes for space in the perf budget
In summary and in conclusion, The Inevitable React Rewrite has the same likelihood of success as the Inevitable Solo Album. Think twice, then think again before joining GH.

Another of my favorites #FromTheInspirationFolder
Hermann Vogel (1854-1921) created the most wonderful worlds, chock-full of charming details and intricate linework.
Just such a perfect example of the utter magic of drawing.

- Banksy on Advertising People are taking the piss out of you everyday. They butt into your life, take a cheap shot at you and then disappear. They leer at you from tall buildings and make you feel small. They make flippant comments from buses that imply you're not sexy enough and that all the fun is happening somewhere else. They are on TV making your girlfriend feel inadequate. They have access to the most sophisticated technology the world has ever seen and they bully you with it. They are The Advertisers and they are laughing at you. You, however, are forbidden to touch them. Trademarks, intellectual property rights and copyright law mean advertisers can say what they like wherever they like with total impunity. Fuck that. Any advert in a public space that gives you no choice whether you see it or not is yours. It's yours to take, re-arrange and re-use. You can do whatever you like with it. Asking for permission is like asking to keep a rock someone just threw at your head. You owe the companies nothing. Less than nothing, you especially don't owe them any courtesy. They owe you. They have re-arranged the world to put themselves in front of you. They never asked for your permission, don’t even start asking for theirs. (remote)

So this, from Firefox, is fucking toxic: https://mstdn.social/@Lokjo/112772496939724214
You might be aware Chrome— a browser made by an ad company— has been trying to claw back the limitations recently placed on ad networks by the death of third-party cookies, and added new features that gather and report data directly to ad networks. You'd know this because Chrome displayed a popup.
If you're a Firefox user, what you probably don't know is Firefox added this feature and *has already turned it on without asking you*

[Fireship voice] React was invented to save you from boilerplate and unexpected side effects, which it accomplishes by requiring more boilerplate than any other frontend framework, and by making its built-in function to handle side effects so complex that there are entire online courses available on that topic alone.

I despise Trump perhaps more than I despise any other living human, and take unabashed delight in just about every bad thing that happens to him.
But even I don't want this.
No good comes from this.

A really weird quirk of perception I've noticed is that when I'd wear contacts for a while and then switch to regular glasses, I'd be *extremely* conscious of the extra lens distortion. It felt like I was wearing a fishbowl on my head.
But if I'm just switching between my unaided vision and my glasses, I don't notice any distortion at all.

You could dismiss it as just media driven by capitalists to squeeze as much money out of a franchise as possible before discarding it for the next thing, and I would not blame you. But I have to admit I enjoyed episode 4 of Knuckles. It was wonderfully absurd from start to finish. For a moment, I felt okay about things, which was nice.
Also, Julian Barratt does a superb job in his role as Jack Sinclair. Honestly, I think he steals every scene he's in.
