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

Show thread

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

Show thread

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

“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…

today’s issue is “if the scrollbar is on the left instead of the right (because of a right‐to‐left directionality) and the background of the element changes, safari won’t repaint the part of the element underneath where the scrollbar would have been on the right‐hand side”

Show thread

a lot of safari’s painting operations assume a left‐to‐right top‐to‐bottom writing mode and simply fail to paint the correct part of the viewport if it isn’t that
