Served as “flat files” - filesystem, object store, what have you. No server logic generating content, just passing around of strings and binary data. Files are the representation are the source of truth. Counter to a web app, where the content response is ephemeral and the “source of truth” is scattered across a writeable DB and recombinated (potentially) on every request.
Interesting question though, I (a web dev) just take the term for granted.
Survivorship bias, I think
Works great for db:seed, too
If you’re in RoR land, there’s always the Faker gem to get you started. Or keep it simple - find lists of names on Wikipedia or something, shuffle and combine.
Honestly, along those lines, I don’t think we (Americans) will get anything until we get rid of the electoral college and the Senate.
I’ve seen some active instances die due to admin neglect (not paying the bills, for instance), and I’ve wondered how those communities have fared since, since they’d have to start over elsewhere, and without all the content and history from their origin server. Same goes with user accounts too.
Just read a thing about how persistent usernames may work better than actual ID. Of course, I don’t have a link, and I’m not finding anything on Google right now, but as someone who uses the same handle across multiple services, which makes my activity traceable, but not necessarily to my real identity, I definitely think there’s something to that.

New gets… Weird
I exclusively surf “top 6 hours” and I’ve actually noticed an uptick in niche community content, lately. Different kind of growth, maybe a sort of settling into itself, finally.
Always felt more like a hammer to me.
Questionable! There was the whole thing when Jessica Walter spoke out about Jeffery Tambor that was very disappointing.
This thread is really alarming if you’re like me and got Patrick Bateman confused with Jason Bateman
Fuck material UI. Forever.
Fellow Vue enjoyer! I love Vue, it’s so friendly. Maintaining a complex React app feels like getting dragged behind a truck down a one way road.
(Did you like my two way data binding joke there?)
I initially misread as “lecher” and was very confused.
Well done, well done. As a meat brain, this took me down a rabbit hole of new spacetime paradoxes.
If I could get something like this for my steam deck + Xbox controller, I’d be sooooo happy
