If the nazis are howling that you're a bad person, or you went too far, or trying to make the argument that you're not playing fair - you're winning. This is their whole schtick. "You better not make us angry or we're gonna rage/go nuts/do violence" and every single person in history who has said "okay we better listen to them" has lost.
If the nazis are mad that you're throwing punches, you're winning. In politics and in the streets.

The things you need (and deserve) to build better, lighter, less vendor-lockin-based UIs for users are possible. And they should be deployed widely *today*.
Why aren't they?
Go ask. Then tell @owa what those vendors say when you do.

Anyway, you should ask your favourite non-Blink-based browser vendor why they're holding reasonable architectures back. And ask them if they're willing to support transparency in the Interop process to give web developers a sense for why they can't count on reasonable approaches next year.
Hint, it's related to why we felt we had to build this based on the *crystal clear* feedback we're getting:

This, in turn, gives rise to both a totalising logic for frontend frameworks (THOU SHALT BUILD IT ALL IN REACT!!!!) for anything that needs to be animated to/from, even more (theoretically and practically incoherent) nonsense about "state management" to deal with the consequences, and also a fight over "routing libraries".
All of this is barmy.

The relationship between these two things is sort of oblique for folks that haven't built a lot of front-end UI.
See, first, Apple hasn't implemented multi-page View Transitions (or any sort of View Transitions...or Scroll-linked Animations, or....you get the idea).
This means that the only way to reliably get animations between app states is to do it all inside a single page. Which means that you then have to capture every link and turn it into an internal route change *inside* a single page

Do you ever stop and think "this client-side routing stuff is Not Great(TM), and holds the SPA-tech monoculture for frontend in place?"
I do; usually when I'm looking at traces of public services that have fallen for Reactor nonsense.
And then I pull up this page and wonder why anyone would fail to vote for the Navigation API as part of Interop 2024:

Draw an iceberg and see how it will float! We often draw icebergs vertically, with a little tip above the water, and a giant part under the water. This doesn’t work, it wouldn’t float, because of mass distribution. If you want to have fun, draw your best iceberg, and see how it would actually float!

There are many theories to explain this paradox. One especially good theory came from the late David Graeber (rest in power), in his 2012 essay, "Of Flying Cars and the Declining Rate of Profit":
https://thebaffler.com/salvos/of-flying-cars-and-the-declining-rate-of-profit
Graeber proposes that the growth of IT was part of a wider shift in research approaches. Research was once dominated by weirdos (e.g. Jack Parsons, Oppenheimer, etc) who operated with relatively little red tape.

#FromTheInspirationFolderAnother big favorite (yes I have many!).
I'm always blown away by his masterful work. The bold shapes and carefully crafted compositions, the fantastic combinations of organic/geometric and textural/flat, the moods. Just so unique.

I'm trying to track down a specific song to share with a friend, and I am blanking on both the name and the band, so I'm asking Mastodon, here goes:
Does anyone recall the name of the song by the contemporary Mongolian folk/rock band about a guy who loves his tractor?
Update: Thank you to @cassana! It is Shono with Kolkhozoy Traktor. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uQFn8HvUJW0

Hello, world!
We are FAFO, a non-profit semiconductor and analytical chemistry research lab in Munich.
We exist to bring together people and tools necessary to advance not the cutting edge of manufacturing, but the cutting edge of making bathtub semiconductors and other Weird Hacks in your local hackerspace.
We've just rented out our first location and brought in a gorgeous 1980s JEOL T330A SEM. Restoring it to working condition is our first project, and this is where we'll keep you posted.
