No One's guide for classes of native app to avoid is incredibly thorough, but nowhere is the logic of "app makers" more distilled than this section:

https://nooneshappy.com/guide/a-very-basic-framework-for-apps-to-avoid/#10-apps-that-exist-to-wrap-a-website

The goal of app stores is to rob you of the agency that interoperability and portability through open runtimes (browsers) give you. The gains from that trade are then largely deposited with data brokers and their clients, and no native app store is good about this. Indeed, if the were, they would be ghost towns.

I do like feeling like I am part of some grand bot poisoning conspiracy haha. I fight valliantly for The Resistance! I am feeding the slop bots the output of their creation! Even though all I am doing is running someone else's code on my server. Ah, I do love feeling the sense of accomplishment without putting in the work!

Yet I'm very surprised that the bots don't somehow notice that they're being fed garbage. Like the URLs are literal jumbled garbage! Surely they can point their ultra intelligent LLM at this content to figure out I might be running an AI blocker, then leave me the fuck alone?!?. Heck, they don't even need to run an LLM, just check that the URL consists of real words! It is rather telling they'd rather scrape garbage than run a reasonably simple check like this. Almost like they don't give a shit about what they're trying to "build".

For years we have been overwhelmed by the volume of code contributions we have to review, especially from new contributors.

AI has made the problem much worse.

That's why we are taking steps to reduce the burden on maintainers while still welcoming new contributors:

The Dem establishment freaking out about DSA candidates in primaries more than SCOTUS is an incredible tell. Shocking, even by today's degraded expectations.

I am very satisfied to report the 2013 game Michael Brough and I made, "BECOME A GREAT ARTIST IN JUST 10 SECONDS", has now been re-released on Itch with modern OS compatibility.

Originally made for the Ludum Dare game jam, GREAT ARTIST is an unhelpful art program, offering a large number of art production tools none of which work as you expect. Think of it as immersion training in glitch art, or a toy for babies producing colorful lights and sounds. Anyway, it's fun.

Checked my server logs and WOW I am impressed that iocaine works.

I am also disappointed that this is 99% of the traffic I get.

(The other 1% is me + my systemmates)

"The University of Tennessee System Board of Trustees approved a settlement with former assistant professor Tamar Shirinian, agreeing to pay the fired faculty member $1.9 million...

The situation began Sept. 12, 2025, two days after conservative activist Charlie Kirk was assassinated. Shirinian made a crass Facebook comment on a friend's private post, saying in part that the 'world is better off without him in it.'

A social media provocateur spread Shirinian's comment online, sparking public outrage and urging the university to fire her."

Good. But the fact that 3 supreme court justices, who all swore to defend the Constitution really, really hate the 14th amendment shouldn't be ignored. They are not jurists.

And your periodic reminder that Congress has the power to fix this. We are designed as a check on the other branches. We can strip their ability to grant cert. We can cut their appropriation. We can curtail their appellate jurisdiction. I have or am working on legislation to do all of that.

also fascists really get upset when you say "i'm not giving fascists my money any more".

like it really seems to hurt them, even when they aren't the ones you're targeting.

from this, i conclude it's even better to stop giving money to fascists than i thought.
