I want to reduce BlueSky's memory footprint in my personal fork, but I have no idea where to even *begin* optimizing a React application 🫠

Civil disobedience is one of the few arrows the average person has in their quiver. USE IT 💖

Somebody asked me on Reddit why people who use AI to generate Recomp projects are currently being rejected from the communities and what they can do to fix this. I might tweak parts of this to be a more general blog post at some point, but this should be of help to anyone in a similar situation.

But Kara, you don't understand! People THINK they hate AI but they really just hate the AI that's everywhere all the time, and not the nice version that only exists in my head

We are on the brink of seeing the end of the most embarrassing war in American history with a strategic defeat across the board. The US military is about to lose the ability to operate in theater without taking massive losses.

You can run the entire Windows 7 (32bit) Operating System in less memory than what the single web page "bsky.app" uses when running in a single Chrome browser tab. If you rendered BlueSky threads into PDF documents, those PDF documents would require less memory to display than what "bsky.app" uses.

job interviews fucking suck because you can tell within about three minutes if you're going to hire who you're talking to or not so the rest of the HOUR is just a waste of time. the tech is to start skipping questions the worse the interview is going so you can be freed sooner

“It also detected an “unintended consequence” of the ban: the proportion of parents who didn’t know their child had used social media increased by 10%.” Well who could have possibly seen that happening.

Australia’s eSafety commissioner buried a report (released Friday afternoon) that shows the under 16 social media ban didn’t tangibly reduce teen social media use, and also resulted in parents tuning out of kids usage. We traded our privacy for no reason. theconversation.com/more-than-80...

Neurodivergent experts (NEs): “It presents differently in women.” NEs: “Because socialisation” 10000 spicy trans women: “Hang on a second” NEs: There’s no way to test this assumption but it must be right because obviously. Trans women: “Hi. You’re describing us. We’re here” NEs: “None”

watching an artist go from making personalized art that would be considered "problematic" to an entire # relatable brand + merch is low-key kinda upsetting.

Let me say that again: waiting 1-2 years to let trans teens start HRT really is not supported by the research literature any longer. The kids so infrequently stop HRT that the delay in treatment probably causes more harm than it prevents. It's time to phase out puberty blockers for trans teens.

Another study on youth transition that find that about 97% of all youth who says they're trans turn out to be. Only 1.1% who start HRT stopped it for any reason whatsoever. This is, like, the fifth youth transition study that I'm aware of, and all of their results have been identical.

Canadian researchers found that 97 percent of youth who seek treatment for gender dysphoria still identify as trans years later.
