Can't help noticing that rationalists are very much out of favour these days. That is, except in rationalist circles, where they've never been better (maybe?). Wondering why this is...

in general my attitude towards my past self is I wish he wrote more things down

Natsuka@octopodeeznuts.bsky.social

usually i only talk about my personal life when it seems relevant to something else that's actually kind of a problem when the prototypical audience for my timeline is future-Natsuka. i'll know my opinions about a lot of things but not wtf i was doing with my life at the time.

If <img> wasn't a void element and alt text was provided as content rather than as an attribute, I think more people would write alt text.

Deno acquisition was basically expected to happen sooner or later, but it still feels weird reading the news of the acquisition... Maybe it's because this time Cloudflare didn't even pretend there would be no changes. Mixed feelings...

"you can just migrate back to node" This is such a disgusting cope. I know there's money in the picture, and that Ryan and others don't work for smiles and github stars, but it still feels like a betrayal of the original idea.

On the other hand, they did push the JS world forward. Speaking for myself, if it weren't for Deno I would've probably just skipped the entire JS world altogether (for better or worse).

Every time I have to open github or codeberg, I'm reminded just how good @tangled.org feels to use. tangled is so insanely amazing, I have nothing but good words for it.

I do love codeberg still. (In the past I did workshops/presentations where I really tried to push codeberg as a solution.) But it feels like they've hit the scale they just can't handle. Seems like the expected trajectory from here is to incentivize people to host their own instances.

As a point of comparison, I cannot remember when was the last time I successfully managed to open a second page of issues or pull requests on codeberg. (I did manage to open a first page today, but these days that's not something I can expect reliably.)

Luka

And I do get that codeberg is a non-profit with very limited resources. But, a) codeberg (and other forgejo/gitea instances) have architectural issues, and b) what is the point of hosting anything on there (as in, storing a project's source,) if you can't expect it to work reliably.

I sometimes need to remind myself that every post online can be prepended with "I think that " (or some variation of the same idea). It helps with not getting baited, not wasting time, not getting mad, etc. Next best thing to early and liberal banning.

And the same principle holds in non-online environments. It just seems that online spaces have this problem accentuated. Might just be me.

Luka

[I'm not defaulting to online spaces. I used 'non-online' because I started with 'online', and it just felt natural. You can completely ingore this, this is just me being me...]

I was going through some old web projects (React etc.) and trying to figure out what each does without installing dependencies (I forgot how slow npm is...) and running it is just a mission impossible... Each little thing is wrapped in so much ceremony, it is not even fun.

Also, how come that counter is a hello world of frontend frameworks? Like, who's counting that much?

Luka
@luka.ljudi.org

Jokes aside, I think it is still telling how wasteful most web frameworks are when you need almost ~90MiB of dependencies to start off. It took me a whole 30 seconds to run the command they have on the react.dev website that runs the vite command with the React template... All for a counter...

Cut to today and it looks like those same experts are the first in line pushing this policy of ID requirement to use the internet. And the internet is now opt-out, so good luck...

N years ago, when the internet (and mobile devices in general) was opt-in (i.e. not required), every once in a while a 'security expert' would be invited on a show to talk about internet safety, and basically every time that happened, one of the pieces of advice was "don't put your real name online"
