@Satsuma when i say “sunset” i'm not referring to a time of day but rather a visual phenomenon

@Satsuma yeah but the pretty part of twilight

@Satsuma the first sunset is when the sun sets for people on earth, the second sunset is when the sun sets for the clouds

maybe a 6 out of 10, the second sunset is kind of pretty

some people could go their whole lives without seeing a sunset as pretty as the one i’m looking at now and it’s honestly a 5 out of 10

growing up in the inland northwest you just get so desensitized to sunsets

@djsundog the only jelly allowed in this house is being jelly of people who spent all the time you’ve spent at a computer keyboard sitting at a piano keyboard instead

this is traumatic

fuck jelly imo

this blackberry is JELLY but i wanted JAM

we can indeed reduce the “trauma” of the event by expecting it, but at the cost of a more just world

kiddo the reason why trauma has been such a buzzword lately is because we are trying to point out that these stresses should NOT be considered normal

it is in fact possible to imagine a world without them

remembering that time i saw someone on the TL say “what if we just normalized trauma?”

ho ho, my lad!
(ho ho, my lad!)

“the new hobbit movies weren’t supposed to be good because it was a childrens story” still remembering this wild take my brother had

plus a filesystem path is a much more human-friendly identifier than a UUID but this is the URL thing again

anyway the idea that Zoomers will replace the tree directory structure is kind of hilar; i don't think the author realizes that people have been trying to replace the tree directory structure for a half-century and the reason they haven't done it yet is that it's really fucking hard

if a tree structure is important for your data you can easily handle the problem by wrapping the data in a container and only showing the container to the user. probably a better solution anyway because it means that the computer can enforce good structure at the container boundary. who cares

however, there is one other domain where the concept of a “path” is relevant, other than the filesystem… and it’s kind of important…

“kids these days don’t understand tree directory structures” i sleep

“that means they don’t understand URLs” i weep
