The README section about hot reloading did not need to go this hard
the phoenix remembered every moment of every death, and of the harrowing abyssal cold infinity between passing & resurrection.
as it turns out, hopeful retellings of the myth took the wrong message from it — it wasn't a miracle for the beast to keep returning to life: it was a curse to die forever.

losing my mind at the "she should have followed directions" people
really? really? you're cool with "if you don't follow directions, they get to kill you"? that seems like a good state of affairs to you? that seems like how law enforcement ought to work: instant obeisance or death?

i put my foot down: th machine squeals in protest, laying rubber for a kilometer before getting traction. the payload is a mosaic virus made of last-gen code & rusted bolts. i grip the wheel: i'll either get there in time or be turned to meat & ash upon the guardrails of the information superhighway

while the current official number is hotly debated, there are actually far more tags in HTML than the ~150 commonly cited! that number merely represents the ones we’ve discovered and domesticated — there are potentially thousands more in the creeping unexplored corners of the deep web & dark net

i do indeed miss old friends in Notepad++, and Dreamweaver, and FileZilla. i miss the excitement of FTP, and the sheen of the first domain i ever bought; the endless ensuing hallways of subsequent subdomains. i miss feeling the modem noises in my teeth, and the dirt of the web beneath my fingernails

there's no perfect version of this idea: bsky & mastodon & twitter & forums & any town-square-style platform...it would be great if there was a magic combination of moderation tools would make people normal, but as ever:
logging off & practicing being normal IRL makes us better at being normal URL
logging off & practicing being normal IRL makes us better at being normal URL
my hot take is that I don't think it's this website specifically that's toxic. the Circumstances are toxic and nobody really knows what to do about it so they come online and scream. and if I may offer an alternative: actually going outside and screaming feels better.
