The government end-to-end encryption law proposals are an invasion of privacy and they do more harm than their proposal benefits.
Only use 3rd party libraries if you couldn't write a solution in a reasonable amount of time.
And try and be biased towards the written solution.
I can't stand over-engineered projects. Almost impossible to work with.
Makes my brain switch off and want to throw it in the bin.
Is anyone else a bit overwhelmed with all the new AI tech? There’s a lot of pressure to learn this “Now or fall behind”.

The Performance Inequality Gap, 2023
To serve users at the global P75 of devices and networks, we can now afford ~150KiB of HTML/CSS/fonts and ~300-350KiB of JavaScript (gzipped). This is a slight upgrade on last year's budgets, thanks to device and network improvements. Meanwhile, web developers continue to send more script than is reasonable for 80+% of the world's users, widening the gap between the haves and the have-nots. This is an ethical crisis for frontend. Meanwhile, the most popular tools and frameworks remain in stubborn denial, but reality is not moved by ignoring it: when digital is the default, slow is exclusionary.
I was here before it was cool 😅
Jen SimmonsEvery news outlet should stand up a Mastondon instance for their reporters & staff.
It’ll be great to see [email protected] or whatever domain they want to use.
Built in verification. Every reporter for the Washington Post on a washpo domain. Every reporter for the New York Times on an NYTimes domain. Etc, etc.
Plus the “local” feed for each instance becomes a feed of all the posts from that institution mixed together — providing extra discovery.
All social media should operate on a “Fediverse” level using the ActivityPub standard.
Interesting social network here. Decentralised Twitter 🤔
