„Denn ohne diese Verklärung fehlt der Nostalgie die porentiefe Strahlkraft, die im Lichte eines erlebten Alltags plötzlich merkwürdig künstlich wirkt.“ https://www.dirkvongehlen.de/ich/frueher-ist-gar-nicht-so-lange-her-die-sache-mit-der-nostalgie-digitale-juni-notizen/

“word” sounds a bit esoteric in comparison with the intended “world”. But still works sort of? 😀

Listening to @fword_dev reminds me of how cool it is to listen to other people talk about nerdy web stuff. It’s always refreshing to experience fragments of the thoughts I have constantly rotating in my head (since more than 15 years or so) reflected in the real word.

… and obviously still figuring out how to persist Twitter handles when writing content from @MastodonProject to Twitter via https://moa.party/ ✌️😀 Lost handles: @feedbin @NetNewsWire @OvercastFM @microdotblog

I’ve been changing a few things regarding my media consumption lately: reactivated and updated RSS feeds to follow, setting up a new feed reader (@feedbin) and paying for it (using @NetNewsWire as reading app), actively listening to Podcasts via @OvercastFM (amazing app btw), created @microdotblog account (still figuring out how it fits to me though). Generally the ideas and ideals behind #indieweb grow on me stronger and stronger by the day.

“The world as we know it—the world of plastics, of cheap consumer goods, of the Internet—exists on a floated loan from the primordial past: a loan that has been silently accumulating interest.” https://proteanmag.com/2018/12/11/no-apocalypse/

Joe Rogan Got Ripped Off

“He’s going to be just fine either way. I’m not shedding any tears for Joe, but as a business person I can’t help but shake my head at the lost potential.”

Encountered this horizontal scrollbar problem a few times in the last weeks. Crazy little solution. 😁 https://cloudfour.com/thinks/a-new-direction-in-the-struggle-against-rightward-scrolling/

From now on most of our visitors have to download less code (gzipped ~ 21 KB lighter page weight) and have to wait less time until the page is interactive (~ 230 ms fewer JS long tasks).

One for old browsers, packed with language- and platform-specific polyfills, the other for modern browsers that can execute code with almost no polyfills whatsoever (platform polyfills are being included via dynamic imports, if necessary).

http://SZ.de articles now partly make use of native JavaScript modules! This is our first attempt experimenting with differential serving, meaning compiling and serving two separate JavaScript bundles:
