@BigAngBlack @blackmastodon @BlackMastodon The images may be completely AI-generated, but surprisingly, they actually got his hands right. Really nailed it.

Welcome new Mastodon users! Please be patient as you are onboarded. Someone will be along shortly to harangue you on a number of topics.

I’m so fucking mad about this. When I went to the Washington Post just now, they now send me to a “for you” tab.

An algorithmic feed is the absolute last thing I want from a reputable news outlet. I already have a subscription. Stop trying to juice engagement.

Remember when the App Store first came out, and some genius sold an app called “I am Rich” that cost $1,000 and did absolutely nothing?

I keep thinking that literally every app on the Vision Pro right now is that app, if you factor in the cost of the headset.

I’ve come to the conclusion that here’s a situation that’s basically the opposite of imposter syndrome where you’re the only person who has any idea what they’re doing, and since nobody else is able to recognize this, it’s effectively the same as being an actual fraud.

Got an question: I have a global data file that returns an array of images with a certain tag from Cloudinary.

I have:

• _data/photos.js (Cloudinary tag is here)

• gallery.njk (loops trough photos.js to make a grid/links)

• photo.njk (pagination and display of photos.js items)

What’s the approach if I want to use data to specify the tag in a Markdown file, then pass it off to the other files to generate the pages? Right now I’m limited to the tag specified in photos.js.

Reading this blog post from @dries (creator of Drupal) about the post-pivot definition of Jamstack.

https://dri.es/the-new-old-jamstack-and-mach-journey-towards-traditional-cms-concepts

Dries rightly notes that Jamstack 2.0 shares more in common with monolithic/traditional stacks.

For me—I read this as a huge indictment of the broadened definition—it’s not a healthy evolution of the term if we must sacrifice technical clarity and simplicity to do so.

@zachleat @dries My work is building a medium-ish site using Next.js/Sanity with Algolia and Salesforce integrations to replace our 2007 vintage Coldfusion site.

We've had least four developers on it the entire time. I could have built 90% of this single-handedly with Drupal in about a year. We just spent a ton of effort basically recreating Drupal's Views.

The end result will be nice, but I can't wait for the retro where I get to mention I originally proposed using Drupal.

@hotdogsladies This seems about right for Ian Anderson’s granddaughter.

I can't believe that these sorts of spam tantrums are even worth the effort. Best case scenario for this idiot is that they make Mastodon unusable and people just leave? Who will they spam at then?

Chris,
@Chris@mastodon.social avatar

@lauren I've noticed literally none of it on mastodon.social, but I totally agree — what upside is there for the spammer in all this?

Creating chaos I can understand. If they just want to be jerks, mission accomplished.

If they expect to make money on this, how would that to even work? From what I understand, a huge amount of it is in Chinese. Just like Chinese phone spam calling US numbers, who do they expect will even understand it? It doesn't seem like they've thought this through.

Knowing how CSS and HTML work — and even Javascript — is absolutely a curse if you're trying to do anything even moderately complicated in Figma.

Chris,
@Chris@mastodon.social avatar

Figma makes pictures of web sites. Any passing similarity to how the web actually works is purely coincidental.
