JoscelynTransient, to trans
@JoscelynTransient@chaosfem.tw avatar

Something i'm pondering today: are there any popular or mainstream-ish TV shows or hollywood movies depicting a t4t couple? Are there any that even show a queer romance between a trans person and a cis person? Are there any that show trans women as capable of being dated and loved in long-term relationships as themselves?

I'll admit, I am unaware of a single t4t couple in mainstream entertainment media (maybe there's like a single episode sidestory somewhere?). That might have more to do with me not watching that many new shows and movies though, not sure.

In terms of trans characters being dated and loved as themselves, i think all of those are in queer-centered media like the L Word, Pose, and Transparent, i'm guessing? (Also haven't watched those shows because i'm a bad queer ๐Ÿ˜…) but a mainstream show? Definitely can't name one, especially where a transfem or trans woman is seen as having a long-term relationship as herself.

@JoscelynTransient I.. canโ€™t actually think of any shows (besides Pose) that have more than one trans person

Defitime to change my default search engine. Any suggestions? Bing is doing the same shit, and I havenโ€™t found its results to be much better than Googles. DDG is just bing results through a proxy. Kagiโ€™s owner is also enamored with wasteful computing, so Iโ€™m not motivated to give them any money.

Child: Some of this asparagus is good!

Mom: The tops are better than the bottoms and the skinny ones are better than the fat ones. So it'd be perfect to only eat the skinny tops.

Me: Things would be perfect if I could eat all the fat bottoms.

Mom: Terraโ€ฆ

Me: Sorry.

I am not exaggerating this:

I created a new hostname in DNS, then added it to my existing webserver config.

It was online for 3 seconds -- 3! -- before getting a 404 request for /.git/config.

If you're relying on obscurity to protect your services, get that right out your fool head today. You have about 3 seconds to get your act together.

Serious question: why in the hell is OkCupid primarily showing me "straight, monogamous" women to match with? Like, what makes their system think a cis, straight, monogamous woman is looking for a polyamorous, bisexual trans woman to date???

They used to have a setting that was "i don't want to be seen by straight people" and you could choose to only view people who are the sexual orientations and relationship structure that apply to you. Now it's all behind a paywall....enshittification of apps that were a shitty experience to begin with! ๐Ÿ˜–

twipped,
@twipped@twipped.social avatar

@JoscelynTransient OKC doesn't actually filter accounts AT ALL. What it does is uses your preferences when computing the match weight, and then hides anyone under 50%. So it will absolutely show you people who are completely outside of your preferences, but match really well on personality tests.

Tomorrow I have to interview a job applicant about their React experience, and I'm looking at interview question guides.

They're bullshit, it's all absolutely bullshit. Most of it is just testing if someone knows the term for a particular pattern.

> What is the difference between a controlled and uncontrolled component

WHO CARES!? If you code it right it doesn't fucking matter!

> What is the VDOM?

Unless you are actually working in react internals, you don't need to know this.

Better question: What is the difference between a Component and an Element?

> What is Fiber?

Again, unless you're working in the internals, this is completely irrelevant.

Better question: How does the JSX that a component produces become content on the page?

> How do you implement Server Side Rendering or SSR?

Easy, you don't. Don't look up guides, don't try to figure it out yourself, there are so many gotchas that you will never be successful. React on the server is horrible. Yes, even in Next. Don't do it.

> How do you enable production mode in React?

This isn't a React question, it's a bundler question, which is something you do once per project and never touch again until it breaks. Why are we asking this?

twipped,
@twipped@twipped.social avatar

@rick A few years ago I'd have agreed with that, I used to do a ton of tooling to enable css modules so that I didn't have to do css-in-js, but I've come to actually really like Emotion in the last two years. It's very powerful.

> What is a switching component?

Seriously? Why did we need a term for this? It's an if statement, for fucks sake.

> Why shouldn't you use prop spreading?

That's just, like, your opinion, man!

Compared to what?

This question is cursed.

@rick I've come up with a code review trial. It's a basic tabs switcher composed of two components. There's a little bit of advanced react engineering in it, in the way I've used the Children toolset.

The code works, but I have deliberately written it badly, there's just a TON of really bad practices in it and ways it can break super easily. I'm gonna ask him to point out what's wrong, and fix it.
