I'm starting to think that the whole "static-only website" meme from the early 2010s along with the normalization of static-site generators like Jekyll were a psyop to get websites dependent on big tech, such as using Disqus for comments, Google Analytics instead of hit counters, or Google Site Search for search functionality.

There is nothing wrong with static-sites or static-site generators, but there is a case to be made for server-side scripting, even on personal websites.

I remember that server. I remember some tilde site on there that hosted a bunch of MIDI files.

Is it just me or are most of the images here broken?

@matthew @libreoffice @EvilSandmich From my experience, it's only a big issue if the documents in question are "heavily decorated". It's mostly noticeable when opening PowerPoint files in LibreOffice Impress. For basic text documents and spreadsheets, it should be fine.

@CloakTheLurker I guess I'm wrong then. I thought it was something overblown. Like collecting merchandise of your favorite franchise is one thing, but I never heard of someone collecting figurines by a specific manufacturer. Of course, there will be some who collect all of them just like there are people who want to collect every McDonald's Happy Meal toy, but that should be extremely rare.

I assume that because these figurines are from franchises often associated with the "soyboy"/Redditor stereotype (Marvel, Disney Star Wars, Game of Thrones, etc.), it painted an image of someone who obsessively collects these figures.

@matrix Probably just a psyop to get people to switch to Rust.
