Feeling generally pretty good about my life trajectory these days.

Work stuff seems to be getting more realized and stable.

Finding more of a work/life balance in general.

Working on building up my meatspace relationships more.

The springtime breeze is helping. (If only the snow would melt soon too!)

Catch me using the `Blob` API along with the `ReadableStream` API accross all my #JavaScript projects. 🥰

Really happy that I can start using primitives that aren't scoped to just Node.js.

How insufferable would it be for me to use thou/thine pronouns for people instead of you/your?

Finally, I will look into taking a small screenshot or something with the contents so that it may be displayed while the initial load is happening.
And what's more, I can block the initial load until you actively focus the window for the first time.

That way we can save on CPU and you can still navigate to whatever "tab" you had opened previously and it'll still have the right title/url/location displayed in the window in your desktop window manager

First thing I'll do to improve this is to have the URL that was used to "last load the page" saved as a var, and to use that to save to the crash/shutdown file.

This property will only get updated upon a successful load.

Now when I load without internet, I can avoid losing URLs.

Next would be to save the title and pre-supply it to the window title before the data even loads for easier navigation in the window manager.

So I generally have like a dozen windows open at a time and this means that on initial load all the loading traffic is noisy and causes me to take way too much CPU time when I load.

One other thing, if I lose network connectivity when I do the initial load, the "onload" will not fire and I will lose the URL in the logic which saves the URLs upon browser close (and periodically for crash recovery)

This is absolutely informed by my desire to bring up information sources from as many places as I can without having extra UI "cruft" and the fact that I have a "ultrawide" monitor which is my daily use.

So, Agregore is super weird from other browsers in that it doesn't use tabs and relies exclusively on your OS's window manager for managing them.

A side effect of this is that having a bunch of tabs open feels like more physical clutter and means that you'll likely close them more or might arrange them spatially on your desktop.

Alright. I'm going to do a bit of coding for fun and maybe improve load times in Agregore further.

Thread?

See I get people dislike tiktok and all, but is just so much harder to find this exact kind of content on the textmode side of social media.

I think I miss early facebook since it was a space I only cohabited with friends I see every day (I was a teen to early 20s at this point). Now everyone is all spread out and we can't just see what we're up to.

Been trying to make more group chats to bridge more gaps.

Still having trouble deciding between getting a #steamdeck, the more powerful and featured but more risky #linux wise GPD MAX 4, or sticking to my current approach of a NUC with a battery pack and usb monitor when I'm on the go.

I'm docked like 95% of the time either way, but I want something easier to use on the go.

Any thoughts to sway my opinion?

No I absolutely do not want a laptop because they don't fit my form factor needs.

Abled people love to complain about disabled people getting "special treatment" like "Wow it's not fair that you get accomodations and I don't" instead of thinking "Wow I'm glad you get accomodations and even more people loke myself tol should be getting some". Like you know that wanting to improve peoples lives could ve universal right?

Hating marginalized people hurts not just them but the perpetuator of the hate in missed opportunities.

My cat is growing accustomed to it's new Machine God (the automated feeder).

I think she's figuring out the rituals for getting it to dispence food (there are none).

She happened to be rubbing up against a cabinet around when the timer went off and I could see her think "Whoa, did I do that?".

Hopefully she will soon learn the humies are no longer in control of her feeding times.

I think she doesn't understand that we know it already fed her in the morning even if we didn't witness it.

Deep levels of ignorance kinda scare me, but callousness and forcibly ignoring information to support hateful biases scares me even more.
