@molly0xfff Hyperlinks are the defining feature of the web. I'm not saying your app has to *cater* to off-site links, but when you ban them, you neuter your application are empower any competition you might still have.

There is some value in using the right attribute for links in user-content so that PageRank-inspired crawlers don't treat them as endorsements, tho.

@inthehands I don't think that line is as clear/bright as it would need to be for that action.

A extremely normal opinion of "I think we should use taxes to fund more police patrols of this area where the crime rate is higher than normal that I have to travel through." gets slapped with the fascist label.

And whether that label is correct or not (it _probably_ is), if you exclude all those people, you are outvoted, outnumbered, and out-gunned.

Maybe I'm wrong (or a fascist?).

@inthehands We can shift where/who and when costs are resolved, but it is incorrect to use the word "externalize" for all such shifts.

@inthehands I don't think society can _externalize_ something to a part of it, but I also get your point that social programs are how we rebuild the commons that capitalism stole from us.

@inthehands Every social program is a way for business to externalize costs, duh. ;)

@thomasfuchs I believe they are doing that because they can't get enough funding for their browser development just by making a web browser. 😩

@adaddinsane @MaggieMaeFish has an excellent video essay regarding the monomyth and it's lack of universality.

Your EDIT is several times more menacing than your question, to me. :)

@hongminhee IME, the tooling with #PureScript is actually worse than the tooling with #GHC #Haskell, which really seemed to be the main problem raised in the article.

I haven't played around with the latest and greatest web backends for GHC, but I did try GHCjs and PureScript at the same time, and felt PureScript was already ahead of the game then. But what other people tend to call "tooling" (I find the concept nebulous) has never seemed to be a priority for me.
