“Ultimately, even as HTML has become the province of professionals, it cannot be gatekept. This is what makes so many programmers so anxious about the web, and sometimes pathetically desperate to maintain the all-too-real walls they’ve erected between software engineers and web developers. But people who write HTML know that hierarchies were made to be blown up. All it takes is a tag that doesn’t close where you’d expect it to.”

I've started mirroring my Mastodon posts on my Discourse instance: meta.jlericson.com/u/jericson_…
Why? Cause I can, I guess?
Done! 10K run! Also, "break-in" of my new #running shoes #adidas RUNFALCON 3.0. 😁
Time to rest.

I have been playing Diablo 3 on the Switch lately. It's a nice simple game without much thinking required.
I recently got up to the Reaper of Souls expansion and it's like ten times better than the entire base game. It feels like it was made by an entirely different team. It's dark and gritty and so much more Diablo. I love it.

The five-alarm fire in the Bronx sheds light on how landlords are extracting profit by maximizing the suffering of their tenants, and how New York City is doing little to stop it.

#WhatchaReading ? I DNF'd The Book Proposal. It had some funny moments but a lot of the humor was crude and gross, there are *multiple*, very cliched Evil Other Women, and the hero is so shallow and dull, I just wanted him to fall into a manhole. Possibly he does, he's also kind of dim.

The United States is not going to conquer Canada; that’s just this week’s fancy from an attention-craving narcissist whose cognition is on the fritz.

Apparently I've run a sufficient number of Kickstarters that the "pro marketing" people have decided I'm ripe for plucking.
But seriously, dear marketing pros: what are you going to DO with kickstarter.com/projects/mwluc… ? I understand you're scammers, but this is already labeled not merely a scam, but a disappointing one.
Go ahead. What ya got?

9/10
Very much in the style of Wes Anderson, this shoot'em up movie is intense at times.
I gave it 9/10 just for the final diner scene. Hot damn that was done well.

in reply to Jon Ericson • • •It's relatively easy to setup using the Discourse ActivityPub plugin. Initially I set it up to put posts I'd tagged as "shared" on Mastodon. But then I discovered it worked the other way too. And that's pretty handy! I recently moved from another Mastodon server without fully understanding that I'd lose my posts and other history. There's probably a good reason for that, but it made me a lot less interested in using this system. Saving stuff I write to an archive solves that problem for the most part.
I'm thinking about how society can recover from our technological decent into the worst combination of transitory attention and permanent records. Is this part of the solution? I don't know, but it has some promise.
