yeah I despise the entire modern js ecosystem, so anything that increases my risk of even having to think the letters n p m starts making my trigger finger itch (and in this case, that’d happen if I wanted to do UI tweaks or whatever)
of all the things I found so far linkding has appeared to be the least rabid. lz sounds like a neat experiment, will check it out :)
staring at it suspiciously with eyes narrowed, until it scampers
Oh, and I just saw this: https://mastodon.social/@stevetex/113162099798398758
they’re really speedrunning this downslide, huh
ja. I’d unfollowed him in the lead-up to 2020 because US election shit gets noisy enough as it is (and holy fuck did he make it worse), then killed off my twitter usage so I just didn’t see this before
but straight nope from me on that shit
remember when bringing up Mozilla’s financials would get you yelled at by people who needed to see them as a paragon of open source in spite of all evidence to the contrary?

I realized late last night that I could give a better frame for this: it’s the equivalent of weekly shopping for 100~300 people (boundaries for varying lower or higher grocery taste)
our population is close to 60m
was that the one that targeted the near-eol console?
Yeah found that, unfortunately it’s js-ware so I refuse to put my data near it
(that’s very much a me thing, but a thing nonetheless)
the sharing part of it is indeed the thing I give the fewest shits about tbh. things I care more about are software choices and longevity. so, for example, fuck anything js/php - by and large those tend to be unserious software that'll be a nightmare to run even now, and even worse in time
I should probably do a bit of a sketchdown of the exact shape of my desires here, if for nothing else than giving direction to whatever I may have to write myself. a friend and I have been mutually grumping about this in chat for a while, because our wants are quite close but also just different enough to bounce ideas off each other
this post reads like an amazon product review
you’re both obviously talking about the cow level, and not at all anything else
