hey, unlike bluesky, my website functions, because I wrote it by hand with no "vibes" involved, and it does exactly one thing (displays information and unwarranted opinions)

when you want to build that Terran Battlecruiser but you're out of vespene gas

that feeling when you wish to open the tomes that the archmage wishes no one to touch, to profane the fabric of the earth, to perform those magicks most unspeakable

suddenly having an actually fond memory of the old job, where cell service was literally only good enough to use if i was standing in a specific doorway leading to an emergency exit. used to call it the Magic Doorway and I'd constantly spot my coworkers standing in it to check their Facebooks. (Not that I cared as long as they kept the volume low, so I wouldn't get constantly blasted with the chorus of "A-B-C-D-E-F-U")

@Tijn When it's so much simpler to design to the "ubisoft approach" of "oh, your internet isn't any good? well it works fine for us, don't know what your problem is"

@Tijn Thinking about it again - when i used to work around a cleanroom, the cell service used to be spotty, and i was always wondering why twitter et al worked so poorly in that situation. i feel like it _should_ be possible, somehow, to engineer web apps that can gracefully handle themselves if the client loses connection to the internet, but hell if I can imagine how that'd work.

it's okay though because at least i have y'all

that other website's having another fun downtime so we get another batch of fun screenshots like this one
