💁🏽 Winds Of Change 🍃

I have been on the fediverse for a little less then 2 years & I feel the audience has changed.

Its great to see new people, but some people I originally used to see posts from have left or are not posting anymore.

According to FediDB there are 1,017,477 MAU on the fediverse right now.

The peak number of users was in July 2023, with 1,690,739 MAU. It's been dropping ever since. 😔 :fediverse:

Fair point - if you're not using digital payments, you should make the effort to get used to them. Cash is (mostly) going away. (This article also contains a guide to getting started with digital.)

Cash is dead. Why are we still pretending it isn’t?

@timrichards Ed Sheeran would not have existed if buskers grew up in todays world.

There is a senior generation still alive that just can't learn tech.

My father is one of them.

It wouldn't matter to me, but society needs to stand up for its weakest.

@sirber You need a frame.work laptop for a custom framework.

ICYMI: In the most recent OTMT podcast episode, @jaffathecake and I talk about putting React in the browser.

While that’s good clickbait, the episode is about about past and present platform proposals that aim to help frameworks with managing the DOM.

nosherwan,
@nosherwan@fosstodon.org avatar

@surma @jaffathecake @rauschma the signals proposal is very encouraging even though half baked. It looks as if though it is meant for frameworks. I feel it should be a trivial api via which browsers allow state manipulation so that gradually we can wean off frameworks.

Fallout 1 Game on MacBook Air M2

I installed Fallout 1 on my MacBook Air M2 via wine version 9.

However when I run it I get the following exception, that shows it tries to check if another instance is running or not and fails.

'Microsoft.VisualBasic.ApplicationServices.CantStartSingleInstanceException'

Any Wine experienced gamers out there who can help?

You know how some people put "5 minute read", "3 minute read", etc. next to blog posts? Would be fascinating to see that applied next to links to privacy policies and terms of service.

My site's would be a 2-minute read. Google's primary ToS would be a 14-minute read. Paypal's would be a 97-minute read.

@amin I often disagree with the average read or implementation time provided in blog posts or tutorials, as I spend more time if I want to understand them properly.

From now on whenever I read an older sci-fi book referring to a “pocket computer” I’m gonna pretend it’s referring to an MNT Pocket Reform.

I find myself wanting to savour it. The more it progresses the more I don't want it to end.

There's not much I love more than with beautiful cinematography.

@craftykraken # 🪐 3 Body Problem the Netflix series is pretty good.

I haven't read the book, but in a way I don't know the spoilers so it is pretty good.

Doesn't hurt that a lot of GOT starts are in it.

Do you think web dev jobs will ever come back as they used to be in the last decade? Or has the AI hype or perception killed the scope for ever

@analog_cafe thats true

@trevdev @immibis never used it anyway. Sounds like something one would rub on their chest for congestion.

me, to webdev

Redoing a popular, yet largely unmaintained side project of mine and going all in on finding a nice component library to settle down with and raise a site together. Thinking of going with NextUI. They seem stable, but just the right level of branding compatibility to not spend forever tying to fix them for me.

nosherwan,
@nosherwan@fosstodon.org avatar

@me my 2 cents worth is I try not to stick to one as they have their own teething issues.

I would rather look for an individual component than a whole library.

For layouts and containers I used rebase.js for a long time.

me, to webdev

I think I stumbled into an issue where a compiler is hallucinating and breaking the types of the source it’s trying to simplify. Has anyone had any experience with this, especially with Webpack?

nosherwan,
@nosherwan@fosstodon.org avatar

@me I used to use webpack years ago.

Recently I have used vite, and feel I don't need to use bundlers individually, it used to be too much work.
