It’s a major award

Tailwind uses css variables, it’s really nothing more than a bunch of helper classes on top of css, it’s not a replacement or anything.

Ngl I love tailwind, I’ve been through so many different css paradigms

• separate css files: why did we ever do this, if you’ve ever used kendo’s css stuff you’ll understand how unfathomable hundreds of thousands of lines of css with complex rules is. Identifying all the things that affect a single component is the work of dozens of minutes at minimum, sometimes hours, you have to understand every nook and cranny of the css spec.
• inline styles: fine, but verbose and requires object spreading, harder to compose, theming is tough and requires discipline to be consistent in your theme conventions, almost impossible to also theme imported library components
• module.css with imported classes: my go to outside of tailwind
• scss: I actually really like scss but it exacerbates the complexity and mystery of css, great for small projects but terrible as projects bloat
• bootstrap: basically just worse tailwind, providing only components and colors

That’s all I can think of right now, but tailwind is my preferred way to style a new project, I love how easy theming and style consistency is

Why not do it now?

You could monkeypatch some javascript functions like the constructor Date types, but there will always be things not thought of that will leak date info. Hardware identifiers are quite difficult to get in javascript and several browsers already obfuscate that info.

Honestly if you’re very concerned, I really do think a virtual machine is your absolute safest approach, obviously the browsing experience is worse.

Check out amiunique.org to see what fingerprinting is generally available in your current browser

Javascript can’t generally access your local machine directly, but scoped local data like cookies are available. What in particular are you nervous about? You could run your browser in a virtual machine?

Responsibility mostly, no kids thank God but animals would suffer.

I love when articles tell me how to feel, takes all the thinking out of the equation. Now I know I should be shaking in my boots. Phew.

That is a terrible idea. We are ruled by a 2nd grade rich bully and all his sycophantic lackeys, literally comically villainous.

Let’s all just CALM THE FUCK DOWN

Mostly vivaldi, occasionally firefox on desktop. I wish we had more options with better longevity.

SublimeText?

Predators eating prey alive, like lions eating bison from their bellies first.

Mmm fair point

I don’t think anyone cares

Yelling at a rock won’t change it into a rocking chair, neither does yelling at a rock change you a rock.

Behavior and nature are separate, it’s dumb to argue with idiots, but acting like an idiot once doesn’t make you one (necessarily)

I wonder if Confucius was really just a shit poster before the internet

My experience is every person in the US who enters the workforce and gets their first paycheck is always surprised. Since here in the us salary is given in pretax dollars, you never get the amount you’d expect for your first one.

Otherwise, some complain scout sales tax in the us for a similar reason, especially going from a state with none to a state with a high rate

My biggest gripe with vnc clients is 8 character maximum password lengths for the default protocol. Straight up crazy.

Vscode when I’m feeling productive, neovim when I’m feeling saucy

Hate pretty much every other ide out there, but do occasionally get forced into Android studio or xcode. Xcode is the worst, msvs a close second.

One day a multi cursor first multi-language extension lightweight ide will replace vscode I’m sure but it’s solid for now.

“Which is bad news for developers”

Nah, we’ve been through lots of iterations of community for developers, irc, maillists, forums, stackoverflow, etc. Most of my complex questions go through specific discord communities now. I’m not trying to spend a year editing a single post because some swamp ass weanie on stackoverflow has his nose covered in rule dust.

Yes ai has changed the game a bit, but it is not removing community, it’s mostly just cutting down on the question duplication

My most recent foray into a new technology was working with vulkan in rust on a mac, stackoverflow is useless compared to the vulkan discord.

Finding community in the modern age requires you to get interested and participate in something specific. Specific communities are often on Discord or equivalent, for example I’m super into some very specific video games with thriving communities, into specific genres of books and have found like minded people, love chatting about specific computing topics, etc. Specialize your interests and find others who have done the same
