It is truly amazing how loving garbage computing is and how it gets worse every loving day regardless of the ecosystem you're in.

It DID look like it was going to be really cool for a minute but I can't shake that we are in one hell of a downhill slide

frontend wise yeah the html5 hellscape is pretty dire

on the backend, i dunno, i think things are a lot better. imagine going back to the 90s and having to write code that interacts with dcom or corba, in microsoft visual c++, and then check it into clearcase.

politically yeah everything is absolutely turbofucked but technology itself is not inherently evil. any tool can be used as a weapon if you put your mind to it.

I think things have evolved to a point that technology is difficult to NOT be used for evil. Obviously you're correct, tools have no agency, but the tools can only really have utility in a narrow band that is 90% evil.

the tools evolved to assist in maximum profitability, and the only surefire way to be maximally profitable is to be evil.

front end is a wasteland where the best you can do for cross platform stuff is blazor. back end .net is great.

also if you really wanted you could write modern .net that works with 20 year old com just fine or vice versa.

i will give html5 credit for exactly one thing: making it very difficult to block the ui thread. this is not an accomplishment that should be understated.

developers will absolutely bulldoze the shortest straight line path to what they want to get done so if you give them even half a chance to make their UI block they will.

i wasn’t sure what to think when i found my original rodtronics rainbow/puddle t-shirt copied. like.. gently caress you but also.. someone’s copied something I made? guess it just shows you can be totally worthless poo poo (me) and someone still pirates your garbage (my stuff)

just to make sure you’re not thinking i’m comparing my t-shirt to yours, I am only talking about mine. yours rules

does anyone still do ads in this format? that is, a large image with a catchy line of text (preferably in a sensible serif font) and plus a bunch of paragraphs off at the top or bottom. usually ending with the company name and slogan in bold type

tools themselves might not have agency of their own but it's difficult to argue that they don't directly inherit the ideologies of their creators. technology is bad because we stunk it up
