The longer folks rely on chromium browsers, the longer big tech gets away with it.

I was tempted to leave a comment on a reddit thread from 11 years ago, but realized today's solution wouldn't have worked back then, and started refactoring it in my mind to compensate for what resources were available at the time...
My refactored solution involved recruiting the services of a company that no longer exists. I think that's enough internet for now...
Self-branding and identity for economic survival

@xanthe@furries.club I would be more than hesitant to adopt this for a number of reasons, a lot of them brought up in the article, but with deeper implications about the increased financial risk involved.
I'm cut up over whether it's worthwhile to have a tool for making transactions in a way that circumvents censorship versus legitimizing tech with dangerous ideologies often surrounding it. I actually don't think this helps the dollar be more equitable, and might even segregate transactions of alternative media even further. One could perhaps frame is as a solution to a systemic problem if we ignore that it could as well be a vector to additional systemic problems, or at least making the initial one worse.
A portion of the article is just "Well, i've bought into crypto, and yeah it's totally used for scams, but anyway, here's my wallet if you want to give me money."
I don't know what the solution is, and I'm glad someone out there knows enough about the tech involved to write this, but the vibes here aren't super inspiring to me this time.
It could be belly rub hours if my partner wasn't 500 miles away and also asleep 🥺😩

@rastilin@aus.social @egoldblatt@gardenstate.social @pafurijaz@mastodon.social I think we should absolutely encourage monetary contributions to open source, but I think how we communicate about it is important.
No one should be going into free software projects expecting to get paid for it, and the fact that people do get paid for it is the exception and not the rule. Likewise, if there's an expectation for the users to pay for software, and the software is being distributed for free, I'd argue the onus isn't on the users, but on the authors/distributors to monetize it correctly.
Imo FOSS as a business model isn't in the spirit of FOSS (vscodium, for example). Neither does software we've paid for guarantee any special privileges or increased trust in the authors. It just means we've paid for it.

"this is because docker
this is because k8s"
I'm curious to hear more about this take. I'm only a hobbyist at this point, but I run some docker services on my local network, nothing (to my knowledge) exposed to WAN or ports forwarded. Surely this can't be *mostly* docker and DX's fault that the internet is like this, can it?
The reason I ask is because I care about my services and network being secure, and in the future I would like to host public web servers, though probably not from my home network. Inevitably there will be something I'll miss when embarking on a project like that, but I'm wondering if there's a takeaway I'm missing from these posts aside from avoiding abstraction as much as possible when designing web services.

@vateo@meow.social a link at the end of a post should be fine. If you don't want to do a link (link rot, etc.) maybe a reminder to check your description for your links would be enough instead. People who want to support you will find it.
Definitely put a link in a pinned post, profile description, and caard. Occasionally I've run into people I've wanted to support but could not find a way to do that anywhere. At the very least, I think having it in the profile description is the safest place.
Whether or not I sub usually depends on how deeply I connect with the artist's work/vision, and also what incentives there are. Based on artists I've subbed to, they had a particular niche I connected with and were working on bigger projects in that niche that I wanted more/extra content from, and subbing got me that.

@equisett@woof.tech consider doing it anyway! Art is visual communication, there's no wrong way to perceive it.

Vanilla js is okay. It does everything I need it to, but I think the way I've structured my app makes it sort of difficult to work with. I'm curious just how much better an actual frontend library would be, cause rn it's popsicle sticks and elmers glue up in here
submitted a new job application that seems promising. I have some close connections trying to pull some strings, but if I get hired that will have been what it took 😬

The things people agree on:
- A Model should hold business logic/information for processing
- A View should present the user with interactivity and handle how it responds to things
What no one seems to agree on:
- Where a Controller sits in the stack, or what it actually does.
- Whether it interfaces with just the database, just between the View and Model, or both.

It sure does feel like jet-engine levels of performance for customer survice (as much as retail affords that), but of course burning hot and bright so quickly leaves me totally dead once I get home. So that's unfortunate!

@siina@social.criminallycute.fi I'm pretty sure this is done already with some ad analytic stuff. Tracking cursor movement and input isn't too unheard of
It is annoying though, and it is invasive, and it's the reason adblockers are necessary for any semblance of privacy
