Today in Labor History November 23, 1644: At the height of the English Civil War, John Milton published an anti-censorship pamphlet, “Areopagitica.” He had been censored several times, particularly in his attempts to defend divorce, a radical idea in those days. He anonymously published “The Doctrine and Discipline of Divorce” (1643), which was condemned by the Puritan clergy as heretical and supportive of sexual libertinism.

Update: it is not macros that cause this, it is plugins. If you use a build plugin, it injects the entire build plugin code into your resulting app.

Still no fix, but at least we know more.

Thanks to @helge for narrowing down the problem.

How broken is today's frontend culture?

@fugueish points out that the median *mobile* page is now larger than a copy of DOOM (2.6 MiB vs. 2.48 MiB), the P75 page is larger than 2 DOOMs, and the P90 mobile page is 4.5x the size of DOOM:

Summer has opinions.
Usually we agree.
Thank goodness.
Today she was helping me get dressed after a shower. I don't always get this level of attention but she helps her pal everyday. He keeps a basket of clean socks just so she can fetch a pair for him. She has skills and loves to help so it works.
Picking out the right t-shirt for me to wear is another important job.
Summer thinks about it for a minute and makes a choice. She doesn't even mess up the ones she leaves behind.
Helping her fulfill her need to be needed brings us all joy.

All this to say that Elon is a white supremacist mass murderer and DOGE was not a failure. It functioned as designed. I wish people would cover this accurately. It's not difficult.

DOGE was created for data theft and infrastructure dismantling and it wildly succeeded on both counts within the first few weeks of its existence. It will take a generation to rebuild what it destroyed and the breach of data is unprecedented.

In ours, the SEA v PKWARE drama won out and we're now using ZIP files. Proof that the real compression algorithm was capitalism all along.

@fromjason I still can't believe that Dems still can't figure this out.

It's so fucking plainly obvious, people tell them exactly what the problem is, it feels like a huge chunk of democrats are really not even democrats, they are just pro-capitalist and throw the working class a bone now and again. Anything that keeps their idea of "compassionate capitalism" alive.

Just saw that some ̶3̶0̶-̶4̶0̶ 86 house democrats voted to denounce "socialism."
