@iatendril@snug.moe Also speaking of scope chain, the `with` statement still works and can help you perform true acts of evil with your code >:P

@evan Websockets means inventing more wire protocols and is much harder to implement. Server Sent Events are a simple text based standard and have a way to deliniate event types / reconnect logic / etc. Fitting an event stream of AP Activities is a small amount of spec work and implimentation compared to websockets. (cross language too) Also easy browser APIs!

@iatendril@snug.moe Yeah from what I understand the scope chain looks like globalThis => dom IDs => global `var`s => module level const/let => function/block scope const/let

@evan Ah but that is for servers to get data pushed to other accounts' server inboxes not for clients to pull updates from a server.

E.g. a client application would need extra apis specific to their sever to be able to get updates.

I'm into thick clients over implementation specific server APIs. 😅

Managed to haggle with my ISP to increase my speed by 500 mbps and also save me 25 bucks a month. 🥳

Still costs me way too much compared to other countries, but at least it's not coax anymore :P

@causalislands DNA 🥰

Giving myself cringe damage remembering how I'd do presentations in professional settings with anime girl backgrounds on my laptop backnin the day 💀💀💀💀💀

@iatendril@snug.moe I love using this for when I make small single file apps. :P The trickiest bit is to not mangle globals.

@thisismissem Interesting. Seems to be an order of magnitude more complex than what I had in mind, but it covers a lot more cases which is interesting.

@thisismissem Yup! I've done a lot of work with scaling EventSource, HTTP2, and push based stuff in general. :)

I'm thinking I'll eventually start working on something similar to SOLID pods but more client-side.

It'd be cool if one could open an EventSource on an OrderedCollection to subscribe for changes in a user's outbox, This could be used as a basis for real time chats and games.

Probably needs to be on top of HTTP2/3 to handle more subscriptions over a single connection.

Maybe even with a Triple Pattern Fragments querystring to filter by Activity type/author/cc/etc?

#ActivityPub #ActivityStreams

@ZachWeinersmith I think a lot of folks that comission artists will continue to do so. People that want free porn will just keep not paying for it. Often it's not that you can't find the thing you want out there but that you like a particular artists work and want to support them / see more stuff in their style. It's mostly the exploiters and low ballers that will turn to ai generation.

@alex worst case I can leave them in my storage room until I move again 😂

who knows maybe I'll actually have time before them move to sort through this stuff. 🤷
