this morning i was thinking that maybe i should write a series of introductory/educational posts for ECMAScript

of course there are responsible ways of approaching XY&Z but at some point you have to admit that everything around you is specifically designed to encourage you to be irresponsible

i think in general we live in a society which is designed to make it very difficult to do anything in moderation

“what critical framework is this zine using and what are its political aims” that’s what i would like to know

anyway shipping discourse is wild these people never phone in to say “hi can you please explain to me whether this zine will allow stories which glorify capitalism/colonialism/the destruction of the environment”

the person i’m subtooting says « You can’t say ‘it depends on the portrayal’ when there’s some things that can’t be portrayed properly because of what the dynamic is as a whole » and they’re so close and yet so far

just reads as a real lack of perspective to me

there are people for whom “comfortable” representations in fiction have never existed

there are people for whom a “comfortable” representation in fiction never could

if i were running a fanzine and somebody messaged me like “I don't necessarily feel comfortable joining this zine if stuff like X/Y or W/Z is allowed” i think i would respond like “thank you for your interest; i highly encourage you to take the time you would have invested in this zine reading actual books”

fanzines 😩

got tired of not being able to just drop a link to e·g https://go.KIBI.family/Fortune/?/Tendencies/vividly_remembered_promises in chat

finally added permalinking to my ./Fortune/: https://github.com/marrus-sh/marrus-sh.github.io/commit/5404bf743ce2756cae57473a7f82c062318d08aa

chrome: what if we simply removed “View Source”?

me, designing webpages under the assumption that people interested in more information will attempt to view the underlying source:

when the meta tags give the canonical URL for the author 😌

this post explains better than i can the principles regarding the #GLAM-adjacent and Linked Data–related work i have done over the past few years, down to why i publish my webpages as RDF/XML+XSLT instead of using a static site generator

« We need to develop the practice of thinking about our tools as layers of components where those components that can be shared are simple enough for someone at a different instituion, someone who is just as busy and distracted as you are, to quickly understand what something does or doesn't do.

The emphasis here is on quickly because the reality is that other people will be looking at whatever you've shared over lunch or on the train going home. The emphasis needs to be on quickly because the ultimate goal is to have something that can be understood with sufficient ease that it can be filed away to be remembered at some later date when there is a need to address a specific problem. If the goal is to build a common kit of parts that can be re-used across the cultural heritage sector the first step is to make awareness of those tools, and their conceptual boundaries, a practical and tangible reality. »
