@baralheia Now that I'm on my phone, I can see that the . has a wildcard in your post. I bet my frontend interpreted it as markdown and hid it neofox_googly_blep

@baralheia Some quick editing before bed. wvrnMlem
^(.*?)(?:\'s)?(?:\s+(?:Original|Extended|Club|Vocal|Dub|DJ|12\"))*\s+(?:Remix|Mix|Rework|Bootleg|Version|Edit)$




The initial
. needed a *? to match text of any length at the start. It's a lazy wildcard so it won't capture part of the text you want to throw out.
\b is for word boundaries, i.e. it matches the character preceding a space or end of string. I replaced it with \s (for spaces) because that made more sense here.
I also made the group of
Original|Extended|... repeatable to handle names such as "Original Club Mix".
And I simplified
(?:Re)?Mix to Remix|Mix because sometimes repetition looks cleaner than clever constructs. drgn__w_

You’d assume that such a company would be a thriving, healthy business. And yet, a cursory glance at its financial disclosure documents reveals a business that’s precarious at best, and, in my most uncharitable opinion, utterly rancid. If this company was in any other industry, it would be seen as such. Except, it’s one of the standard bearers of the generative AI boom, and so, it exists within its own reality distortion field.

cw: it's about gen AI, this stuff is genuinely disgusting and horrifying @xerz
I mean, even then I believe there’s still some underlying communication
That's true, but it's different. I checked out Discord for a while and have been on some servers, and it's just... they were all the same. Different communities that felt almost indistinguishable because most activity was identical: memes, cute picture, daily life smalltalk, and only then kinda community-specific things
I've had this feeling vaguely before with social media in general, but nothing has shown it to me as blatantly as Discord.
And that sucks. Communities used to use slower platforms
in conjuction with fast-paced ones and managed to create a very solid identity, but today social media has sucked out all of the energy of the former.

It's exactly like with the YouTube channels. High-quality channels (slow platforms) are dying in favor of low-effort ones (social media) and in the end the former will disappear.

I like how the Big Bear Valley bird cam doc ( docs.google.com/document/d/1gx7VP85Gwp1jhHRilStcZMrnUPszHQ0-w1czkjnf9bc/preview?tab=t.0 ) tracks the fucking poop shots (PS) of the eaglets. neofox_lul

It feels like we're approaching the logical conclusion of all the dumbing down of communication that has been happening on the internet for a long time now. Away from quality and towards effortless quantity, because quality is so bothersome to create. Websites, blogs and forums are dying because it's just easier to post on Twitter/Bluesky/Fedi or chat on Discord. Discussions are being replaced by memes or stupid blips of text that ultimately mean nothing. We're communicating, but are saying so little. We were already moving towards human-made slop way before AI entered the field.

It's really nice once you get used to it, though. It feels like way less effort to make components than with the other frameworks, especially when the components are small.

I had to write a little helper library to make things a bit less awkward (if you want your components to also work without Alpine.js)

@hj Pretty much everything happens in HTML attributes. That makes some things less convenient, too, because it operates within the limitations of HTML. For instance, x-if has to be used with <template>, which can only hold one root element, and there is no x-else-if or x-else.

@hj Alpine uses Vue's reactivity library, but the handling is very different from Vue.

I'm currently trying Alpine.js with Astro and I like it better than using frameworks with their dedicated flavor of JSX or templates. With Alpine.js, I can just put all the reactive code in my Astro templates.

Only using framework components instead of Astro templates would've been an option, too, but I like Astro templates way more than all the other options.

Mastodon's moderation tools suck
If only there was a fedi server which shows how it can be done. Maybe a way for admins to create and share scripts to match and handle posts with way more freedom and flexibility than any UI could offer. Oh well
