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

every new and successively more inane javascript framework that came out in the last 15 years was another salvo for google's embrace-extend strategy to "make the web so Fucked Up that the task of creating a browser with less than 30 million lines of code becomes impossible", and you all fell for it! maybe like 9 web developers pushed back against the 25,000 monthly blog posts extolling the virtues of yet another new way to do something on a computer which they had already solved at xerox in 1977

cuz like, here's the deal, okay

i actually sat down and caculated all mutual aid posts that i could find in the span of one hour of scrolling the hash

and the total number of money that would be needed to solve all of them would be around $100k, plus-minus 50k more.

that's less than half what was donated to harris. in mere DAYS.

this is what angers me the most - our pain is completely unnecessary, it's solvable, but it is manufactured by indifference, hubris and bigotry.

i need people to seriously understand that if you manage to raise 500,000 USD for a political donation, you will be doing massively more good in many ways if you just give that money away, in 1000 to 2000 usd blocks to people who are homeless and need to make a deposit on housing, there is no political donation that will ever do remotely as much good as helping one homeless person get a warm place to sleep #mastodon4harris

hey why not put your money to some actual good, to helping a disabled woman pay for her new crutches rather than throwing money at a millionare politician who won't notice it at all? hint hint #mastodon4harris https://gofund.me/580dbcb4

i decided to do one of these question things again https://retrospring.net/@taizou
