  • that’s patriarchys fault for instilling into men on a deep cultural level that they need to make money to “provide”

    Maybe that’s the case because it’s been the case since bartering started about 100,000 years ago… You’d rather your daughter marry a guy with a lot of stuff, rather than the guy with little stuff. If you think you can “just” change such an ancient system by introducing Feminism, then oh boy, are we even more fucked than I thought…

    The only real issue is that Capitalism in the US has gone hogwild and concentrated most wealth down to 3 people. Europe is somewhat doing fine in that regard. Don’t we have superrich people? Yeah, sure, but our bottom line is a LOT healthier. Not as healthy as I wish it to be, but fine-ish for now.




  • vscode with the built-in Emmet support.

    Emmet isn’t intimidating, unless you don’t know CSS, in which case it is extremely intimidating.

    a+b:
    <a href=""></a><b></b>
    
    a>b:
    <a href=""><b></b></a>
    
    a*2:
    <a href=""></a><a href=""></a>
    
    div.yeet:
    <div class="yeet"></div>
    
    A combination:
    a>b+i*2.dollah:
    <a href=""><b></b><i class="dollah"></i><i class="dollah"></i></a>
    

    That’s 99% of what you need to know to get started with Emmet.

    Anyway, I used to write 100% hand-written HTML, but switched to using Hugo because: Go’s built-in Templating language I knew from working with K8S, build-times are sub-second, and I can write a page in either Markdown or HTML, whichever I need (or even mix in some HTML in the Markdown!)

    Because of hugo I don’t need to mess around with repeating parts (like the nav menu).

    Only downsides:

    • it strips the comments, which I would’ve loved to leave in for people to read
    • the formatting is my favorite, so I format with prettier before committing

    I use git submodules to have the public/ folder be my Github Pages host repo, so I can just muck about locally, while I do a rebuild (which changes the files in the submodule). Only after a commit, I’ll effectively publish the website.

    Check out the website (mostly for the HTML - the articles are… meh): https://thaumatorium.com/ (no trackers, so no Cookiewall nonsense either :D)
