Just pushed a little design refresh to https://stygiantech.dev

Was able to refactor some code to stop calling useEffect() to swap between light and dark mode for device mockups to keep more of the site rendered server-side

Check it out!

If it’s anything other than this, it’s false advertising

See people usually complain that we try to send them a raw string via TCP/IP and want an API endpoint that returns JSON (despite being 10x slower than our current solution)

There’s No Such Thing as a Backdoor for the Good Guys If Bluesky built robust moderation software for the whole of the platform it’s just Twitter

This is because 80% of support issues are either "turn it off and back on again" or "RTFM"

Like the only way to prevent nazis from having total control over what’s being put on the platform is to build it so that NOBODY can have total control over what’s on the platform

Coming back here to remind everyone that this platform has composable moderation for exactly this reason

On second thought that’s a waste of a good cactus

Perhaps a roto-tiller

Something inanimate

A) I didn’t know the nazis coopted that

B) They can go fuck themselves with cacti

C) I’m surprisingly consistent in my β€œI am my target audience” stance on my posts

Really interested how the TikTok ban made it out of committee unaniously

At the time I was interested, had that information been declassified, we would have been able to get a sense of what they saw in committee that managed to get bipartisan support

But they didn’t

So I’m assuming it was dumb

"If you sit there and zoom in on screenshots of different UI elements, sure you’ll probably find something.

That’s been true of every iteration of the OS. But speaking from experience, the less you think about it, the more it just works."

Reminder that recurring cost requires recurring income

It’s either subscriptions or ads

It’s like saying venmoing your friend who paid for your dinner is unreasonable

FWIW, Bluesky is my biggest referrer even though I spend a lot more time on Mastodon (which is my second largest referrer)
