"show me an example component where @scope can't just be done via a web component instead" is a really frustrating ask.

Because the answer is: every piece of every design system or web app I've ever built. Just the fact that you're asking tells me that providing an example won't actually answer your question because you're clearly coming from such a different problem space that my entire approach is foreign to you

Apropos of nothing—a company may hypothetically find themselves between a rock and a hard place when said company has little-to-no resources to invest in a framework but relies on revenue from enterprise customers depending on that framework.

In fact, this hypothetical company may even publicly overstate the resources they are investing in said framework to protect that revenue.

I’m glad this is not what is happening.

had a short discussion yesterday about regretful browser decisions made back in 1993

Fun fact 4: "bat" spelled backwards is "tab", which among other things can refer to a personal line of credit held by a bar, restaurant, or other service provider. Bats do not have tabs because they do not have a money-based economy.

"... and do you have any questions for us?"

Yes, do you have any people working at the company that use toony animal avatars as their Slack profile pictures?

I still routinely see people struggling to get to grips with Mastodon, and they're always using the 'official' apps - so, once again, the official apps are under-developed and not fully featured.

Instead, try pinning the browser to your home screen where it will function as a full web app and give you the complete masto experience.

There are also myriad community-made apps that have been around far longer than the 'official' apps; Tusky, Mona, Ivory, Toot!, Ice Cubes, Megalodon and more.

there are so many polyamory flags. they should all date

Reminder to all who might need it: Not all yaks need to be shaved by you. It’s ok to ask someone for help who has experience with this type of yak. And if you can, it’s also ok to pay someone to shave your yak.

One of my colleagues has been "invited" (bullied by her boyfriend who doesn't want to go alone) to go see "wrestling" this weekend. She knew nothing else about it but our boss googled and of course it's some AEW stadium thing.

Our boss (the other dude on the team) and I described to the rest of our team (all young women) as "violent ballet" and "a soap opera for boys."

I'm so glad there's no, like, blokey/lad/boring mainstream masculine culture at my job. :)

I find it really shitty that the #RightToRepair act is excluding game consoles. It shows how mighty the lobbing still is when it comes to modifing tiny bits of such bills. I mean why does a game console need extra threatment to say a phone? Exactly: none, the exception is only there bc nintendo, sony and microsoft have pulled silently their strings to ensure they don't need to fear that people do with their consoles as they please.

Great quote from Debt: the First 5000 Years

"Any system that reduces the world to numbers can only be held in place by weapons."

Going to have to have a long soak and think about how this relates to the quantification drive that underlies much of scientific research.

The 48 days of shame have commenced. Train replacement busses until 11 October because of Formula 1 and failed signaling renewal works. Got my first First Class Day-upgrade. #48DaysToGo
