I co-wrote a cookbook for depressed people and other folks with zero spoons, only knives. It's not meant to be gourmet cooking so much as a survival guide for late stage capitalism. And you can get it for free!

the timeline is getting so comfy to scroll through, think I finally figured out the way I want to do virtualized scrolling, preserving resources by not rendering the entire stored timeline, but still having the option to go far into backlog, which is then cleaned up again if you scroll back up

try it out on fedifox.cthu.lu

Toad looked at the ground. The seeds still did not want to grow. “What shall I do?” cried Toad. “These must be the most frightened seeds in the whole world!”

read-only interface can get kinda frustrating tho lol, seeing good toots I want to interact with but can't :")

there's still a billion UX papercuts

hustle culture, caps lock 

I fucking hate that "Alexander the Great conquered the world by the time he was 30, what have you done" meme that hustle culture bros like to push

ALEXANDER WAS A NEPO BABY DON'T COMPARE YOURSELF TO HIM

Whenever the hourly electricity price dips below 0 you can find people complaining about not making a profit on their solar panels or being worried about wind farms running at a loss.

But... Energy being free is good? This should not be about profits, but a critical utility being accessible to all.

More solar and wind farms please!

fedi meta, defederation rhetoric 

Also the same ol', same ol' about how defederation is terrible and drives everyone away lmao. It's so surreal to watch an anti-capitalist talking like some adtech grifter or televangelist concerned about "reach" and shit. It's always such a red flag. Overall it's ended well with her joining her people, fellow leftists who think community standards and boundaries are the worst kind of oppression.

after that spent the rest of the day tinkering on virtualized scroll implementations, so you aren't loading the entire historical timeline at once. sadly IntersectObserver seems rather flakey on mobile, but other than that seems to work quite well now
