maple "mavica" syrup [6502] @mavica_again@computerfairi.es

getting told that every website having https is "devaluing the worth" of websites having https, like every website has it now so it doesn't mean anything

while also arguing that google "did the right thing" forcing every website to have https (whether they handle sensitive data or not)

which, as someone who disagrees that static websites need https, i have not heard worse technical arguments in a long while

social media is anything but and mastodon has not ever been and will not ever be better than twitter or any similar contrived microblogging platform for as long as it retains the favourite button

"but they're acknowledging you" no they are being unhelpful and you are being patronizing

and i don't mean in a mansplaining kind of way or "how do i do x in y" "use z instead"

i mean "how do i do x" "rando favourited your post"

like it's just non-sequiturs. i'm in a don hertzfeldt skit

who am i kidding nothing has really changed since 2017 we're still giving non-answers to question posts and trying to explain why that is a correct thing to do

newer mastodon users please stop trying to rationalize antisocial behaviour challenge (impossible)

@pencilears "does anybody know abcxyz? ​" "i love this post, gold star for you"

you are rationalizing antisocial behaviour

@pencilears it's a question with a boost ok emoji. there's no conversation to be acknowledged. i think you are talking about the latter point

it's been 0 days since etc etc

webdevs who learnt their craft prior to 2010 should brand themselves as "html over the wire engineers"

anyone got decapped ROMs they need someone with free time to mark up in maskromtool? ​ #reverseengineering

trying to find community online without knowing anybody already on the inside be like oh cool i guess i get to be in the middle of cultural warfare instead

@joby don't quote me on it but i think the math works out that there's theoretically more ipv6 addresses than there are particles in the universe or something so i think we're good on that front

@joby buddy save some for the rest of us!!!!

take that tanenbaum

more like computer NOTworks

i don't think ipv6 is real

chunchy
