White friends: Reflect

"I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or KKK, but the white moderate who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice. Shallow understanding from people of goodwill is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will." #MLK

One reason why many Allistics have a problem with Autistic people, who "don't look autistic" and call themselves disabled, is their thinking pattern of hierarchy and competition. We are "too different" and "too similar" at the same time. They don't want to support someone, who might be even "better" in any aspect than they are. In their view only people who are lower in their idea of hierarchy, who for sure can't be serious competitors are allowed to call themselves disabled and be supported.

And now that we do have Web Components, ShadowDOM, and all the related power supported by all the major rendering enginesโ€ฆmost of the FE web workforce's skills are split between 2 proprietary frameworks (do NOT at me with React or Angular is open source, that's part of their E/E/E strategy). Neither of which plays super nice with Web Components. By design (again, Embrace/Extend/Extinguish).

If the "browser war" (really a DOM argument) hadn't delayed the advent of Web Components for 20+ years, I think the state of FE web would be a LOT better.

Mastodon question -- is there a good way to perceive the structure of conversations here? For example, how can I tell when I'm looking at a thread that has branched off of a conversational "trunk" that has other branches I'm not currently seeing? ๐Ÿ˜…

It's possible to believe both that nobody goes into frontend to deliver bad experiences to most users, and the privilege bubble has created a toxic miasma of ignorance and self-congratulation that ensures most new hires know only tools that set them up to fail most users.

Eng team at the job ran into the 2038 bug for the first time today! (Scheduling an end of month recurring thing 15 years in the future means it happens after INT_MAX for the first time.)

The Paradox of Tolerance disappears if you look at tolerance, not as a moral standard, but as a social contract.

If someone does not abide by the contract, then they are not covered by it.

In other words: The intolerant are not following the rules of the social contract of mutual tolerance.

Since they have broken the terms of the contract, they are no longer covered by the contract, and their intolerance should NOT be tolerated.

I'm still learning how to , so maybe this will help another. The screenshot shows the client, and the public timelines that I have added, from 3 other instances.

@mattblaze "you too could buy your way out of trouble" seems to be the cornerstone. You must believe you're a billionaire in potential. That is faith

Not sure if it makes me modern , butโ€ฆI don't like or trust GPT-3 for _anything_. My empirical autistic mind hates the idea of a machine that automates shallow thought.

โ€œIt's just a little thing
Buried in the other things
Burning away, from inside
Would you stay with me tonight?
And there's a quiet dream
I'm not supposed to think
Eating away at my mind
Could you be with me tonight?โ€

Humanity observed that the flu virtually disappeared when we were all masking yet we rushed to โ€œget back to normalโ€ and now people are being taken down by colds, flus & RSV.

We arenโ€™t as smart as we think we are and suck at risk evaluation & mitigation.
