yeah I despise the entire modern js ecosystem, so anything that increases my risk of even having to think the letters n p m starts making my trigger finger itch (and in this case, that’d happen if I wanted to do UI tweaks or whatever)

of all the things I found so far linkding has appeared to be the least rabid. lz sounds like a neat experiment, will check it out :)

staring at it suspiciously with eyes narrowed, until it scampers

Oh, and I just saw this: https://mastodon.social/@stevetex/113162099798398758

they’re really speedrunning this downslide, huh

ja. I’d unfollowed him in the lead-up to 2020 because US election shit gets noisy enough as it is (and holy fuck did he make it worse), then killed off my twitter usage so I just didn’t see this before

but straight nope from me on that shit

remember when bringing up Mozilla’s financials would get you yelled at by people who needed to see them as a paragon of open source in spite of all evidence to the contrary?

yup. absolutely nuts shit. I know there’s often a lament to lack of nuance in contemporary internet but god damn if there isn’t also a massive shortage of critical thinking skills and the ability to engage with criticism well

I realized late last night that I could give a better frame for this: it’s the equivalent of weekly shopping for 100~300 people (boundaries for varying lower or higher grocery taste)

our population is close to 60m

was that the one that targeted the near-eol console?

Yeah found that, unfortunately it’s js-ware so I refuse to put my data near it

(that’s very much a me thing, but a thing nonetheless)

the sharing part of it is indeed the thing I give the fewest shits about tbh. things I care more about are software choices and longevity. so, for example, fuck anything js/php - by and large those tend to be unserious software that’ll be a nightmare to run even now, and even worse in time

I should probably do a bit of a sketchdown of the exact shape of my desires here, if for nothing else than giving direction to whatever I may have to write myself. a friend and I have been mutually grumping about this in chat for a while, because our wants are quite close but also just different enough to bounce ideas off each other

fair 'nuff

I keep finding myself in a position of thinking “bah imma have to write this myself, aren’t I”, because nothing I’ve found as yet actually works the way I want things to work :|

what are you folks doing for/with bookmarking? I’ve killed my usage of pinboard because I learned the dude’s going off the deep end

already found a couple of the link* flavoured open source things, but looking for some practical/lived feedback

haven’t really had the headspace to dig into this but one of my hypotheticals about how this could come to pass is “not enough counter-friction left”. foundations of the guess are: years of ill-advised products, constant killing of worthwhile projects, creep of bayfucker mentality. that shape of thing

I recall seeing people ringing alarm bells about moz ceo pay like 3~4y ago

not that the above guess eliminates the thing you’re pointing to, mind you. I agree that this drive has to be coming from somewhere. my stuff was more coming at it from the “why has this suddenly accelerated so much” angle

no thanks

that’s a hell of a lot of words for “is a giant pile of mistakes”

well it appears like you’re posting english, but actually you’re posting nonsense

so the answer to your question is no

the sum total of luxury ZA coiners’ mettle was measured, and it was found to be extremely lukewarm

that’s about 60k usd raw. PPI-equiv would be a bit higher (we have really cheap goods compared to US/UK), but I laugh at this number
