Having successfully navigated the super early start, I’m now waiting for my flight home, getting important updates on threats infra, extra and juxta-terrestrial.

That seems oddly specific...

#Middleman

One thing that should also be made clear is that most people in #tech enjoy some sort of #conflictofinterest.

Anything that requires solutions beyond the current norm is "a waste of time", because they are selling the norm.

Making money as a #middleman is the goose that lays a golden egg and anything challenging that is a threat.

Some people would like to keep the exploitative market precedents set by big corporations because of the possibility that "it might be them some day".

"It's a bit hard to set up" - which is categorically untrue, because you're now placating to the #middleman economy that #Microsoft has an entire support chain for.

The understanding of an install process, of what a partition is, how to burn USBs, etc is simply a matter of quick and nimble communication.

Don't overcomplicate, don't sugarcoat, but don't salt it either. To effectively motivate people you need to use positivistic language with a focus on clarity.

#NoKingsDay #washington #DC 2025-02-17 in a #bigbrother 1984 #orwellian #digital #dictatorship, no one would see anything of this #protests, all the big media conglomerates, search engines would censor it :( question: why did those peaceful protesters not try to turn over the gov and storm congress? (just asking, probably because they are intelligent unlike the january 6 rioters)

BUT if #Trump and #republicans keep ignoring LEGITIMATE grievances of #citizens like higher and higher #food and #fuel prices = imho companies using #inflation as excuse to increase prices without transparency = #corruption of the #middleman: when is #DOGE gonna investigate that???

u gonna have a violent #civilwar like #riot at your hand Mr #TrumpRegime

because #citizens then have nothing to lose and the #FrenchRevolution did not go well for the #King

PLEASE THIS TIME, THINK ABOUT WHAT KIND OF SYSTEM U WANT AFTER THE #REVOLUTION :)

1. best as possible #education of the masses very important for #democracy to work ask #Socrates https://infosec.exchange/@Linknation/113918099997688161

2. no more parties: only proven #competent #truthful #honest people can be candidates voted for highest jobs in government

3. make new innovative #finance systems (can be multiple) the current central bank FIAT money is #fascist and not serving the people (#Fascism = fasces = concentration of power in hands of (unelected?) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fasces

4. every #citizen should be given small plot of land for free to grow food and build a house on

5. no more stockmarket, all businesses and banks need to be run by proven #competent #responsible actors democratically elected by their employees

#Trump + #Elonmusk START FOCUSING ON THE PROBLEMS OF THE #POOR + #ECONOMY NOW! with smart new ideas of #finance

or face dire catastrophic #disaster #consequences

I've been distracting myself by converting my personal web site from #Middleman to #Astro.

It's been fairly straightforward and allows me to easily add a little bit of interactivity to my personal site.

I've liked messing around with #Svelte and #SvelteKit but since I'm doing some #React in my current job I thought it would be good to get more practice in my personal time.

#AI #Tech Companiew are parterning with #Nuclear Companies for " #ClimateChange "...
Yeah sure, it's not because they want to reduce the cost by removing the #Electricity Providers and #Government from being the #MiddleMan

#Bullshit

Feeling a bit cruddy today so I'm taking it easy by converting my personal site from #Middleman to #SvelteKit, if only to see what's involved.

"More like #Perfidy…
#Perplexity is basically a rent-seeking #middleman on high-quality sources.
…by providing an answer, rather than pointing people to click through to a primary source, these so-called “answer engines” starve the primary source of ad revenue — keeping that revenue for themselves. Perplexity is among a group of #vampires that include #ArcSearch and #Google itself."

Didn't intend to shave a yak tonight, but three hours later I've mostly squashed my personal website's many dependency issues by ... ditching #Middleman for #Jekyll.

Not deployed yet but if I did it right, you won't even notice. I'll write up my notes at some point in case they're useful to others. #Ruby

Does anyone know how to disable #Middleman's internal #SCSS/#SASS handling so that #Webpack does it exclusively?

https://forum.middlemanapp.com/t/middleman-still-seems-to-handle-scss-sass-despite-that-webpack-should-be-used/4716

I got up and going with middleman pretty quick. First step to writing on my site again? We will see

I am having some difficulty with embedding a shopify buy button into my website (static site using Ruby-based Middleman). I am putting the div ID ref in the data yml file and then calling it using ERB.

The button shows up and works.... It's just showing up at the very bottom of the page, beneath the footer.

Ive tried putting the div Shopify gives you directly where I want it to, without ERB calling the data yml file, and it still just shows up at the bottom.

I've tried having the JS directly in the head and I've tried putting it in the asset compiler.

My duckduckgoing has resulted in finding one other person who had this issue and it seems like they solved it by changing ' to " in the div ref id, but they were not using Middleman. I tried that too and still no dice.

Anyone else run into this issue? Advice? #ruby #middleman #staticsitegenerator #shopify #erb

Not a Saturday I planned.
