@SigmaOne@toot.party @aral @amatecha @haverholm@imaginair.es @n8chz More precisely: they're designed to be hard to navigate, while at the same time being easy enough that a techbro can still plausibly argue that "it says it right there! you just need to read" so that the weird nerd brigade will jump to their defense

fuchsiaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
if you see front-end as lesser or lazier developers, get out tbh
@y0x3y@hackers.town @f0x I'd say that the stand-out differences for me are:
- Conflict-free dependency management
- As a result, many purpose-specific tools with high interoperability across the JS ecosystem, instead of a few big frameworks that all have their own incompatible ecosystem
- The language is a lot more functional-ish than most popular languages (which allows for writing very readable code when used correctly), but without being restrictive about it - you can still do OOP where it makes sense
- Because of the high degree of interoperability/composability of things, it's much easier to work with JS than with most other languages when you have strange projects/usecases that nobody has built some specialized framework for yet, just by mixing-and-matching existing pieces

… And that’s why it riles me up to no end to see corporations like Mozilla Corporation that are not what they say they are getting away with blatantly lying to our faces while very successfully staving off effective regulation for Big Tech, sucking up funding, and acting as honeypots for devs who do really care only to neutralise them with projects they know will not actually threaten the Silicon Valley status quo.
(Also, I suck at stepping away from the keyboard apparently!) :)

And I get it. Everything’s so shit you WANT to believe there are folks out there doing what they say they do… that they’re on your side, fighting Big Tech, protecting your privacy… I get it because – fuck it – I want to believe that. And yes, there are folks like that too… and they’re usually struggling to get by and rarely get any funding or support from anyone…

i think we should start a totally innocent "guillotine sharpening day"
no displays of politics, just appreciators publicly celebrate guillotines and their maintenance together. nothing illegal just a joyous festival for all the family
but we will KNOW what it means. and all the big league execs looking out their office windows? they will KNOW who those glinting blades are for
@Vierkantor @categorille@tech.lgbt Oh yeah, it's definitely *possible* with a cheapo option (like the $5 240V irons or the USB irons), it's just more frustrating because the heat is distributed poorly, and you'll eat through tips reaaaal quick
@categorille@tech.lgbt @Vierkantor Unsolicited recommendation: get a Pinecil, TS100 or TS80 as your soldering iron, if you can afford it. They're pretty affordable, and are *so much* easier to use than the $5 AliExpress irons, especially when you're still learning. Likewise, get some reputable solder if you can afford it, because there's huge quality (and frustration :p) differences between good and bad solder.

agitprop + dealing with spam
problem: I get invited to Whatsapp crypto spam groups all the time 😔
opportunity: finally, an audience for my insufferable shit!

I wish there was a tab on everyone's profile where you could review the interactions you had with that person.

The CEO of the after school program I work at gets over $100,000 per month from the parents of the kids I watch and I get *checks notes* $1,300 of it...... I am going to start biting people
