Don’t think of this as admiration for Apple and Apple history. Think of it as admiration for a more humane view of computing:
one where software’s job is to bring delight and foster creativity,
one where our devices are not hermetically sealed gifts from the tech gods with which we make a Faustian bargain, but rather a bucket of art supplies for us to play with, reshape, make our own. https://mastodon.social/@arroz/114643547519909731

Russland und Ukraine streiten über geplanten Gefangenenaustausch
In Istanbul hatten Russland und die Ukraine den Austausch von Gefangenen vereinbart. Dieser scheint sich nun zu verzögern. Beide Seiten geben einander die Schuld dafür. Das russische Militär hat am Abend erneut Gleitbomben über Charkiw abgeworfen.

rant on software dev practices
What is it with P5js and virtually all its ecosystem (like Q5js) that, still today, didn't manage to _properly_ package their libraries to be distributed and used via package managers?
Same with their insistence to push global resources and state everywhere... and of course virtually not documenting any of the truly delicate details, just the trivial stuff that could be auto-discovered by relying on auto-complete tools.
I kind of understand wanting to keep the vanilla experience alive, making it "easy" for novices... but that shouldn't be at odds with more "professionalized" production pipelines, at least *not that much*.
For example, with Q5js:
- The NPM packages could be mentioned in their documentation (they are not, even though they are official)
- The NPM packages could define proper exports (same for the JS modules themselves), not forcing us to rely on relative paths to files in node_modules... 🤦
- Globals could be at least namespaced... of course, it would be much, much better if they didn't exist at all.
I'm writing this in 2025, not 1993... and I'm... "triggered".
At this point I'll have to check if I have any other neuro-condition beyond ADHD that makes me "obsessed" with technical flaws, because it seems to be a "me problem" when either virtually nobody sees that as a huge collection of fatal design flaws... or they see it and don't care at all.

Gosh I would love to make the things I create more expressive and delightful, while being instantly familiar...
