It's better for a library to make it easier to do the thing you're trying to do than to do it for you.

I want to try MCP but Claude Desktop isn't available on Linux. I hate that the future of technology is proprietary software again.

When I was a kid I started out with HTML and CSS. Today 10-year-olds are vibe coding entire apps.

This is fucking crazy. I can barely make gpt build a UI how I want it. She managed to make a functional Nostr integration. This changes everything.โ€‹ View quoted note โ†’

In the first world, it's easy to overlook how valuable money actually is. That 1st edition Charizard can feed a family of 4. The bills add up. $55/mo for cellphone service doesn't seem so bad to us (Americans), because mobile internet is essential to life. But it's actually an absurd fee with way better alternatives. There are plenty of examples. People spend so much on subscriptions. $10 here, $10 there. It's easy to justify each one by itself, but it adds up. Not only does it slowly kill you, it's wasted potential. It's less invested in people. After seeing the true potential of small amounts of money, it has recontextualized how I view all purchases. I've started to adopt a much more disciplined mindset about money, similar to how I view veganism.

React Native has created a problem where, by bridging the gap between 3 major platforms, it has created a new gap between React Native and vanilla React. Component libraries must support either React Native or React, or jump through a bunch of hoops to support both. So now that React Native has "unified" the platforms, we need another layer to unify React itself so code can work for both React and React Native.

I think YouTube has just straight up stopped providing oembed links in their markup.
