But I am le’ tired.

Then take a nap, THEN FIRE ZE MISSILES

DEEP CUTS damn I flashbacked hard

As a web dev myself, I know the sheer amount of money that would have to go into monkey patching together all these disparate protocols and ancient APIs, plus the regulatory requirements, and that’s BEFORE worrying about consumer AND vendor adoption. The only reason to get into it is if the service is secondary to chasing a lucrative buyout before you get crushed by some multinational online retail cartel you never knew existed (but always suspected), or Google AEEs you.

Fintech blows.

These people are going straight to hell.

These days, it’s more like they’re literally buddies behind the scenes while expressing partisan vitriol in public for show. It’s fucking gross.

If I’m being honest, the only thing stopping me from shopping at other sites is having to put my personal and payment details in yet another site for it to go stale, or fall out of my memory, or get leaked in the next big hack.

Some sites have “pay with Amazon” (more likely PayPal, but… ugh. I don’t remember why, but I hate it), but I’d love to see some universal adoption of some sort of payment and shipping details lockbox. Like SSO where you can revoke access to subscribers or something.

Yes, well, my spoon is too big.

Bullet points and parentheticals

The article did a shit job of linking to it, but here’s the actual verbatim

I honestly thought your first photo was a still life study in oil paint.

If I could get something like this for my steam deck + Xbox controller, I’d be sooooo happy

(this sound bite lives rent free in my head)

This is me, so much. Both my parents, my aunts and uncles, my grandparents. After I got my diagnosis, it’s like all of a sudden my family’s whole history of immigrant trauma snapped into relief.

It’s the occasional stabby thing that gets me, though.

What’s the end game for these people? Is it hubris? Stupidity? Do they not think anyone’s gonna notice - and even so, how do you expect to fly under the radar with “solution to the unified field theory.”

Running the title though Google and looking at the discussions around it in various corners of the Internet seems to indicate it’s utter bunk.

It’s that banality of evil thing

Served as “flat files” - filesystem, object store, what have you. No server logic generating content, just passing around of strings and binary data. Files are the representation are the source of truth. Counter to a web app, where the content response is ephemeral and the “source of truth” is scattered across a writeable DB and recombinated (potentially) on every request.

Interesting question though, I (a web dev) just take the term for granted.

This might be more an aesthetic/sound/genre thing for you, not any one specific band (considering your other examples)
