there is something funny to me in the fact that the only time internet janitors work seems to have come up on my timeline since cohost is a notice that it was stolen by a bunch of llm seo sites... how jarringly topical

'trowel for gamers' yet another marketing Scam. the truth... all trowels are for gamers

unfortunately my dpi of 1102 being displayed on my desktop monitor makes everything unreadable unless i make the window huge

scrcpy is fun. and i am using it

in 2054 all websites will require '3d javascript'

theyre calling it glue. and its used to bind objects. did you hear about this?

@nano i understand why. (gamer tone of voice) You see... there is nothing "Chill" about Mine Craft.

but if no one else is doing it (if they are no ones told me) i can hope to get to it eventually, with any luck sooner rather than later. 'stay tuned' perhaps

the issue with what could be of course is that it currently isnt, and certainly isnt promised to be, and im not sure there is much interest in such a development. social media hasnt seen much new since cohost, even from those who would principally disagree with cohosts design. the latest […]

discords attempts in the space i think stem from a desire to canonicalize its use for support forums and project news outlets, which is a distinct enough value set that i do not think it is representative of what could be

to what extent the system i am imagining would look like an expanded version of stories, well. that is hard to say. i dont necessarily like stories, but i think a large part of that is the presentation and format and not actually the idea of a type of 'global' post integrated within a chat app […]

i do wonder, and i do have some ideas of how to do it, if there is a way to meaningfully add social media layout elements to chat software. discord has done stuff in that vein but it suffers from the principal issue that it is an existing platform, with an expected user experience and design […]

thats not to say the result will necessarily be good but it seems to me that it is at the very least unexplored, certainly not in depth, and that is much worse

there is, i think, a great extent to which the problem could be solved through careful design. cohosts gains were not necessarily a product of css crimes but rather the layout and post metadata, very little of which is unique; its broadly a synthesis of tumblr and twitter. that same process can […]

i do think 'the future of social media is the group chat' (https://jkap.io/cohost-postmortem/#fnref-4) is pretty much true, though i say that as the one writing one million social media apps and distinctly very few group chat apps

oh this doesnt do anything. okay

hmm. thats not great

hmm. i had an idea for how to add css crimes to the cohost bridge, by gating it behind a content warning

new gif version 'GIF8:'

im willing to bet most decoders treat 'GIF8' as the magic and the version number as the fifth byte as the version times 2 plus ascii '7'

they just announced gif26. update your decoders

@era lets all understand

i assume most of these people dont actually use freebsd

i think i have more in common with people who dont like or care about freebsd than anyone who thinks it is interesting. this is because freebsd is not interesting. it is an operating system

there should be a compensation scheme for having to read a freebsd opinion on bluesky

of course its going to be much much harder to do an xss once i limit the character count to exactly 5 characters

later i will simply fix it

website development progress. i have a javascript function whose only line ends in the comment 'xss'
