       @element pretty disappointed that y’all are highlighting this like this.

       How would you feel about fully anonymous, no-trickery opt-in, short-lived, openly-viewable telemetry for #orogene? Would the very presence of that code taint it for you?It would definitely be super useful to track down errors and understand perf.

       @element @amatecha @matrix @liaizon man you’re really not supposed to be saying this with your whole chest like this, even if it’s a business decision you made for survival.

       I genuinely do not remember getting anywhere near far enough along on this story to justify the amount of time this is claiming I spent...

       Weird to think that if I hadn’t moved out of Florida ~9 years ago, it would literally be illegal for me to use public restrooms of either designation now. And now, I have to make sure that if I’m flying to PR, none of my flights stop in FLL or MIA, because this applies to airports too.Fortunately, most stuff still generally goes through hubs like ATL or JFK. But dang this is depressing.

       Just tagged #orogene v0.3.26. Along with a couple of fixes, this vastly improves contextual information when IO errors happen, and makes it so parallel install script execution actually happens in dependency order (it used to be fully-parallel/random). This latter one was a doozy to implement lol.You can install it from npm or use it through npx now!: npx oro --versionDetails: https://github.com/orogene/orogene/releases/tag/v0.3.26

       thinking about the niche #orogene fits into, in a world with stuff like bun/deno/etc, and honestly I think the right thing to optimize for isn't node apps, but webdev that happens to use node tooling?I feel like that space has been kinda stagnant for a while. NPM/pnpm/yarn are all kinda basically the same thing, and the few experiments that have happened have kinda flopped straight on their face (like uhhh... PnP/Berry).

       I do honestly kinda think node as a backend development platform is on the way out, and largely uninteresting (and a HUGE pain because of the failed modules deployment), but the truth is there's a lot of miscellaneous devtools that still use it as a runtime, and the NPM ecosystem isn't something we should give up any time soon, if ever.But frontend stuff? There's still so much room for growth there that's not limited by how lacking Node itself is!

       https://hachyderm.io/@fasterthanlime/110447877094085381One of the things I learned from resigning from Node stuff when they had their CoC shitshow is that, honestly, people taking a stand and resigning in protest mainly reduces the pressure towards systemic change. At least most of the time. I really hope it’s different this time around, with Rust. But I definitely think the people responsible for these mistakes have to take accountability, and that means resignation at this point. Or you could think of it as ā€œdowngrading their Rust Project membership from a leadership position to a regular community memberā€ šŸŒ¶ļø

       Thinking about how much healthier my relationship with social media became after I just left Twitter and kept to mastodon.Like, I don’t just anxiously doom scroll, keep picking arguments online, and I don’t constantly refresh to see engagement on my posts. I just kinda engage with it here and there, and then walk away and live my life until I have something nice to post later. It’s so much nicer.

       Not to mention that I use mastodon filters to ā€œauto-CWā€ things for me and that’s made it possible for me to be extremely selective about what I choose to be exposed to at any given time, without feeling like I’m completely missing conversations when they happen.

       Seriously, why is anyone still relying on Google products surviving at this point? Its commitment to continuity continues to be a fucking joke.https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/squarespace-enters-definitive-agreement-to-acquire-google-domains-assets-301852507.html

       When you really think about it, it's utterly baffling that we've reached a state where the expected norm is that you literally aren't allowed to do some kind of labor (code) in your own time, because it 100% belongs to your employer.

       it is, in fact, incredibly fucked up that I feel "lucky" to work for a company that "just" lets me do this "in my spare time".I've been "lucky" my whole career, partly because I've explicitly avoided places with such clauses, and partly because when they tried to sneak them in, I told them to remove them.But a lot of people don't have such "luck". And you gotta pay the bills, man.

       I’m really just generally tired of fascist trolls being taken seriously. There’s two appropriate responses: ignoring them so hard they give up, or violencing them so hard they have no choice to. They really do not care about your pearl clutching, or you criticizing them. Or they do, in the sense that it grows their platform and the attention they generally get.

       It’s also not lost on me that everyone on my timeline who’s made light of the ā€œcis is a slurā€ thing is… a cis dude that’s trying to act coolThis isn’t a joke, buddy. You’re only being lighthearted about it because the gravity of the situation is completely lost on you, and now I know I can’t fucking trust you.

       The only way you can get me to support LLMs is if you can convince me they’ll finally accelerate us into a world where we’re breaking into billionaires and removing them as the threat to humanity they increasingly are
