90% of websites are used to feed you with text and pictures but, for some reason, they insist doing it in the most complicated possible way, which requires you to upgrade your browser regularly. If your job involves giving user text through multiple layers of javascript or to get data about users thanks to the aforementioned javascript, you are part of the problem (this is a fact, not a judgement. We all need to feed our kids). If you write code which, as some point, involves a browser but you really believe that it’s more than just giving text and pictures, then think again, you probably don’t understand what you are doing.

New #blog post: A Time-Traveler's Guide to Affordable Computing
https://rldane.space/a-time-travelers-guide-to-affordable-computing.html
1467 words
Ok, I heard some fair complaints about my schlocky previous post, and this one is much more serious. Ok, what am I saying?? It's straight-up sci-fi comedy with a retrocomputing subject matter, but I took it seriously.
Initially, I was inspired by CJ's wonderful blost about his transition from being a long-term mac user to now daily-driving Linux, and wanted to share my own experiences as a long-term Mac user over nearly two decades, with a decade and a half separating the two times. But then my internal Sotolf mental processes went off and reminded me of how elitist and anti-common-person / anti-consumer / anti-human Apple was, and I went in a very different direction.
I hope y'all enjoy the humor. :D
Minor #CW: some of the humor is of a USPOL nature. It's very light, humor and presentation-wise, but the implications are pretty dark, if you take it seriously (which you're not intended or likely inclined to!)

I think most things labeled under deconstruction(ism) were originally invented by a toddler.

Does the difference between The Left and The Right boil down to criticism of or uncritical belief in an external authority by virtue of whom you are entitled to every windfall of happenstance, being that it is rightful fruit of the *labour of uncritical belief itself*?

pretty sure there's no appreciable difference between naive realism and universalism

Sex in art needs no excuses: Sexuality itself is a legitimate subject for artistic exploration
The very phrase "gratuitous sex" implies the idea that depictions of sex must somehow be earned.
