@clew @flyingpenguin @paperposts @ai6yr I do all my household laundry (my clothes and the household stuff, my wife prefers to wash her own and we’ve finally gotten my teen son to do his own laundry mostly - I still do it occasionally if he’s had a long week of events/is out of pants that fit him) but before I met my wife I lived in a very nice apartment in SF in Noe Valley that did not have laundry - so I used the laundromat or the dry cleaners across the street who also would do regular laundry

@mcc @julesh really, i feel like the single biggest reason web software and web tech tends to be bad is that web tech is _new_, and the past ~15 years of software development have been in a world where extraordinarily bad software is accepted commercially and encouraged by management in corporations. this is a huge problem, but has very little to do with the actual application platform and everything to do with what we choose to do with it.

@mcc @bytex64 you're entirely correct that no version of the C standard specifies layout, intentionally so. we're also not aware of any platform that does so. interfaces that are designed to be easy to use through FFI work hard to avoid relying on struct layout.

It's very important to call out, criticize and push out LLM usage for creative expression (writing, art, music, code).

But we also should not make "hunting LLM usage" our identity because it can also bind so much energy we could invest in building something better.

I eat Penguin chocolate bars without reading the joke on the wrapper. Fucking monster, I know.

@Rycaut @ai6yr well, yeah, there has been a steady immigration of humans into Milwaukee, for the past 2 decades or so. They even have breweries that serve other-than-IPA.

But, still, you open an online map of Milwaukee and there are more "VISIT MILWAUKEE!!!" public centers than attractions.And the nearest Jiffy Lube counts as a feature.

@julesh Also (new post because it's a separate thought) I'm not sure "electron == wasted RAM" necessarily has to be true. My Preact applications are tiny on disk and are RAM-efficient enough I've never needed to profile them. "Tauri" enables Electron-like development without the many copies of V8. I believe we could use webtech and still make good software if we thought hard enough about what it means to amke good software

@dch you can get a good number of them on Switch 1/2 with the online subscription thing that gives you old console emulators, ass well as original titles and remakes.
