Mauve 👁💜 @mauve@mastodon.mauve.moe

I feel like humans being persistence hunters carries over in my hunt for making code work. I'm out here tracking the functioning configuration through the potential space of all possible code and sweating up a storm not to overheat.

"aha, the import didn't work due to a version conflict" is pretty much the same as "Aha here's a tuft of gazelle fur on this branch" or whatever

Luckily I am a wizard and have made NPM and Node.js do things so depraved that a mere typescript inconvenience cannot stop me 😈

The stuff I've done to make stuff build for react-native and cordova qualifies for one of those "This Place is not a Place of Honor" signs.

Now some dependency's build system for typescript got busted and it doesn't have the transpiled JS available in the dist folder. And of course NPM decides it has to preemptively update all my dependencies when I try to install an unrelated new one. 🙃

Is this really worth it? Hours wasted dealing with build systems to catch bugs that would be caught by a linter and unit tests anyway?

Gosh typescript brings me so much needless suffering sometimes. 😅

The real pain is when it refuses to run when the equivalent in regular JS would work. Like, I promise you the types match up just trust me bro. I think I'd find it less frustrating if it wasn't wrong so often.

```
Type 'ReadableStream<Uint8Array>' is missing the following properties from type 'ReadableStream<any>': values, [Symbol.asyncIterator]

35 const parser = Readable.fromWeb(response.body)

```

@malwaretech Love the use of orwellian double speak in this. Tracking is Privacy!

Reeeeally need to set up that alt. I'm thinking I'll focus on poetry and art and emotions on it and leave tech to this one.

Fun fact! You can now follow @mauve@staticpub.mauve.moe which is one of the first accounts using the #DistributedPress #ActivityPub #SocialInbox project.

We're finalizing our release so expect more info on how it works shortly!

For folks that don't want to mess with the technical details, keep wacth for @sutty which is integrating this functionality into their static site #CMS using Jekyll!

@cblgh Mug that says "Don't talk to me until I've had my third degree burns 🍵"

Honestly KC Green is my favorite webcomic artist. I think he portrays the dread and despair really well in addition to his goofy jokes.

I wish he got more respect and recognition for his work.

I've got a #book recommendation! Hierarchy in the Forest by Christopher Boehm.

https://www.hup.harvard.edu/catalog.php?isbn=9780674006911

It shows some examples of top-down and bottom-up hierarchy in human and primate societies and how they get maintained. I found it interesting from the perspective of how to maintain egalitarian #anarchist organizations by avoiding certain failure modes.

If you can't afford it and don't have it in your local library definitely don't download it through annas-archive dot org!

Just got off a podcast recording for https://www.futureproof.so/

Really excited for this series to come out so I can hear what some of the other folks had to say!

Got into how my view of politics relates to local-first software and power dynamics.

I'm pretty excited to get #BauldersGate3 once there's a sale for the PS5 version. Been seeing lots of hype and I've been wanting to get lost in another rpg.

even more pumped for Broken Reality 2000 whenever that comes out. I absolutely loved the first one and I bet the sequel will give me some of the same feels. https://store.steampowered.com/app/2133850/Broken_Reality_2000/

IMO the most perfect game I've played in the past few years was Donut County. It's short and sweet and made me feel warm and fuzzy (like a raccoon!)

I really love cute indie games that I can play on my playstation (this is an invitation for recommendations!)

Outer Worlds is a neat game but I remember feeling kinda dissapointed in how short it was. I managed to 100% it in much less time than I expected and there wasn't that much in terms of replay value. I think especially compared to Borderlands 3 which I played around the same time. #gaming
