  • 11 of those comms are on ani.social, an anime-centric instance where it is totally legit to split “pictures of anime girls” into more specific comms. It’s not unhinged or spam at all, but if you don’t want to see anime, probably best to block ani.social tbh.

    I for one like to see all the moe on top of my local feed and not pushed down to page 5 of global.






  • How important is it to your theory that “hour” is related to “house” in… ancient Assyrian language? Because they’re completely unrelated in English, “house” coming from Germanic hus and “hour” coming from French ore. If we look at ancient Greek, the two are hoora for “hour” and oikos for “house”. I think English post-vowel shift has to be the first language where those two even sound similar.









  • It’s just not on their radar at all these days. You want to develop and iterate quickly, so you’re not going to program everything from scratch. No, you grab an off-the-shelf framework and implement only your business-specific things in that framework. There’s so many layers of abstraction that optimization becomes impossible (beyond what the framework does for you), but it saves you a ton of expensive developer hours and gets you to market really fast. And when someone complains that your website doesn’t perform for shit, you just blame their hardware, right? Externalize those costs.
