@ctrlaltdog@chitter.xyz hee. no problem!

i think the reason i want to hang with the artists i like is mostly because it's really cool to meet others who have such distinctly similar tastes to me

@ctrlaltdog@chitter.xyz luckily, attention isn't quite the same thing as personal interaction ^^

a lot of peeps with pretty big followings are mostly overwhelmed by people treating them as if they are exclusively the "dispenser of the thing that made them popular", and not someone who has feelings too

so a lot of them kinda stonewall new interaction

i mean, i'm not very popular, and i've had people try to get close so they could score some free art

being introduced mostly gets rid of the possibility

@ctrlaltdog@chitter.xyz i know this feel a little too well tbh

but if it's someone i know, i'd be happy to introduce you if that would help..! ^

@noiob hee. that is, indeed the oldschool way

i used to do that too

@noiob oh yeah, manually building html without templating is a nightmare and a half =w=

@noiob oh yeah, they do seem to largely have similar ideas!

it's hard to say which i prefer the most. maybe liquid? (that's the thing jekyll uses, and you can pipe output between functions)

{{ user.name | capitalize | prepend: "Hello " }}

most of the stuff i've used recently is jsp with jstl, though jstl just tries to replace the code parts of the templates into tags that are interpreted serverside

<c:forEach var="thing" items="${bean.things}">
${thing.field}
</c:forEach>

@noiob oh, yeah! are there any in particular you like..?

when you think of a joke and discover that not only have others already thought about it, its also a meme as of literally yesterday

  • it's pretty important right now
