A while ago discord suspended my account because I said the word goy in a message. Speaking of goyim, I never understood all the attention the GTA series has been getting. Playing a game about degeneracy doesn't sound all that appealing to me. I guess that says something about the state of culture.

I wish I could say what I got my discord account suspended for but knowing the internet it could be interpreted in various unanticipated ways. I got my discord account suspended like 3 times, the first one was back in 2016 when I still had its client installed on my PC and ran LOIC on some random website. I don't know why would discord get upset about that. In 2026 I learned my lesson and moved all my friendsToSignal

If you don't know what LOIC is: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low_Orbit_Ion_Cannon I was a script kiddie hacker back then and wanted to test it out

> I never understood all the attention the GTA series has been getting I was never invested but I understand the hype. GTA has been running for a very long time, and Rockstar's games are known to be of very good quality. Makes sense for people to be excited. I'd argue that the culture isn't any worse than years ago, people have always been finding cruel and stupid ways for entertainment

Wrote an unlisted post about developing a website in Astro. Will have someone else review it before I publish it, and will refine it a bit to make sure it's beginner-friendly

Nothing wrong with your tutorial, but astro seems bad. node + npm + 153MB worth of node_modules when most people want to just build a static website? :|

It's a lot, I agree, but I don't think it matters. You install it once, possibly for one site only and I doubt you'd feel the 150mb of disk space taken. It's the only one ssg I liked of jekyll, hugo, eleventy, and of course astro. Each one of them had some drawback and I decided that Astro has less wrong with it, considering the crazy amount of power it gives you

Also remember that only us, nerds, care whether it's 50mb or 150mb for a static site generator. People barely use the storage they have

I encourage you to try it to see if the DX can offset the memory footprint for you. It does for me

It's great that it works for you. The main deal breaker for me is not the size. It's npm/javascript/node_modules which from past experiences led me to pain or dependency hell. Also: $ npm ls --all --parseable | tail -n +2 | wc -l 187 Astro has 187 dependencies. That's a lot o_o I'm happy with Hugo, but if it didn't exist I'd probably write my own like @vhimu. I'm curious, what are your experiences with other ssgs?

>which from past experiences led me to pain or dependency hell. Really? NEVER had a problem with npm and I spent years in this ecosystem. However, with Python, every single time something was breaking for me, and i used it only a handful of times. >Astro has 187 dependencies. That's a lot o_o Typical NPM bullshit. It is what it is

> I'm curious, what are your experiences with other ssgs? 11ty literally broke one day and I still don't know why. Tried to fix it but gave up after a while. Hugo I found difficult to customize and its docs were pretty shit. Even now that I'm looking at them I feel lost. So much to click through. May be a skill issue since you customized your hugo site a lot. And Jekyll is just a piece of outdated garbage.

Terrible setup, as you mentioned, dependency hell, high chance that something breaks, abysmal customization, and even its own docs warn you that if you use latest ruby it might break. It's outdated and clunky to use

Mostly minor stuff. Added more gripes to the English article, added a Danganronpa tierlist to stuff and made the Mikan Tsumiki switcher pretty.
Gross. Blocked.
Can't tell if you are serious. Possibly, because you usually liked my posts. Didn't even know you can block users. What does it even do?
From what I see neocities is supposed to unfollow blocked websites. Maybe it updates after a delay, as I'm still in your followed sites and can leave comments Edit: after testing I conclude that neocities' blocking is broken and does nothing. You'll have to unfollow me manually
I can understand your rant being about pointing out an inconsistency but coming to the conclusion that we should just let minors watch it anyways is an insane take. The original sentiment you're combating is just that: a sentiment. The *real* reason why we shouldn't show it to minors is because it causes psychological damage and makes them more susceptible to grooming. This is a phenomenon that is widely documented.
Yup, it was mostly about that sentiment I don't agree with. The post is about pornography not being as unrealistic as people make it out to be. I am not advocating for letting minors watch it without restrictions. That would be fucked up. But I don't want to put 100 disclaimers before anything that can be misinterpreted so I don't offend anyone (see rambling about clarifying). Thank you for your input!!
I still however dislike the discrepancy. Is sex at 17 less harmful than watching pornography? If you have studies about this or can point me in the right direction I'm happy to learn and edit the post.
