Lady of the Land @Lady@cat.family

on 04 July 1776 there definitely wasn’t a United States or anything like it

it was a different time

you ever be on tumblr reading a post and the person says something that seems a bit sus so you check their profile and see the phrase “comically cynical of reality” and yep there’s a young white trans girl racist no doubt

you can publish open source software without providing so much as an email contact, much less a listserv, forum, or other community space

i’ve committed code to this repo every month this year and i’m just waiting to see how long that goes on for

you ever just do something poorly the first time https://git.ladys.computer/Shushe/commit/550d6ccc74b1aae2f45947df47245fb57b111c2b

@thomholwerda as it happens, i was coincidentally scoping out the Ladybird dev team a few days ago, before this latest announcement, because they were linked in (iirc) an old Servo blogpost and i wasn’t familiar with them at that point

i pulled up awesomekling’s account on X.com and the first thing i saw was a laudatory quote-boost of Marc Andreessen and Ben Horowitz’s talk show

immediately lost all interest in the project

(original post wasn’t about Swift, but i was just thinking about it versus such languages as Zig and Rust which target much larger sets of platforms)

it does bother me that Swift isn’t more portable but i also understand that the reason Swift isn’t more portable is because it supports such advanced features as “Unicode”

and i would take “there are just multiple interoperable Swift implementations”; that would be better actually

which is more efficient:

• writing the software library once, making it portable across many platforms, and then dealing with the ensuing portability concerns for decades to come

• writing the software library multiple times

always bothered me that snickerdoodles don't contain snickers. snickersdoodles
