building a typeahead web component has convinced me that we need to standardize reference target, like, yesterday

part of me is scared to let go of my precious state-based rendering but part of me wants to dust off jquery and party like it's 2006

put another way: i don't want your data. I *never* want your data. and not just from an ideological "users should be in control" perspective, but also from a pragmatic "this makes my app more difficult and expensive to run" perspective.
we've been so focused on making it easy to scale *up* that we accidentally made it hard to scale *down*
this really resonates with me. i like making little personal web apps for myself and my family and friends. the most annoying parts โ the parts that drastically increase the scope, from "a bunch of HTML, CSS & JS files i can serve from anywhere" to "a web server and database i need to continually maintain" โ are auth and persistence. so i am *very* excited about atproto including a user-owned solution for both.
Are any of you still thinking Tim Cook is just doing what he "needs" to do, throwing his own reputation under the bus as a selfless act to protect a larger social well-being, rather than literally just *supporting* the Trump regime because the political favors he negotiates help his company make even more money?
Can we all finally see it now?
Would anyone bend over backwards so far to try to excuse this behavior for anyone else, or any other company, performing the same actions that Cook has?
