@breadandcircuses
The pages of #history are replete with #societies and #civilisations living amidst the peals of alarm bells without taking warranted actions to face the emerging threats.

When the calamity reaches their doorsteps, there is outcry and demands from early victims yet still no concerted effort to mitigate the threats are made.

Only with #calamity and #death all around, when the bells have been silenced, when society is disrupted and civilisation collapses do the people rue their inactions and lack of preparations.

Thus societies and civilisations alike undergo #upheavals and the horrendous cosls of enforced #changes.

And so the wheel of history turns, as it ever did, and is turning again.

Doing it wrong…

...because I don't know how to do it right... Well, it's not really wrong, but according to a growing group of people, it is. So I feel some pressure because I feel that "I need to do it right", but I don't really know how. Or, I kinda know, but I don't have the spoons, expertise, or concentration, to change things... I wanna do things good, I don't want to get people mad at me because I "mess it up", but there is no one I know that could help me with the things that I "should" make changes with. Some people make these changes sound so simple, but I am sure that I am not equipped to "easily" do it as well... If only... 😔 […]

A digitally enhanced, vibrant reinterpretation of the traditional yin-yang symbol, featuring swirling, multicolored patterns. The black and white halves of the symbol are infused with a rainbow spectrum, blending colors with intricate, fluid textures that resemble a mix of paint swirls and cosmic nebulae. Each section contains a smaller circular element, also rainbow-colored, further emphasizing the fusion of hues. The background transitions from warm reds, oranges, and yellows on the left to cool blues and greens on the right. Overlaying the symbol, in bold yellow text with a blue outline, is the phrase 'Doing it wrong…' suggesting a playful or ironic take on the altered yin-yang representation. The entire image is framed with a black border that adds contrast to the vivid colors within.

New Kitten release

• Fixes #236¹: The data preview pages in Kitten’s settings how handle circular references in the deserialised data (which may contain your custom classes if that’s what you were persisting in the database).

kitten.small-web.org

:kitten:💕

PS. Those pages are very rudimentary at the moment and are good for getting quick visual overview of the data you’re persisting. For a fully interactive view, use Kitten’s interactive shell (REPL)² to explore your data until I’ve had a chance to implement a more comprehensive visual interface.

PPS. You persist data in Kitten using the built-in JavaScript Database (JSDB)³ (Or, of course, you can install and use any other database.)

Was it worth it? 🏡

A journey with big changes lays behind me. I've reached my destination, which I hope will be my last one. Or at least one for a long time to come... The journey isn't over yet, but part of the traveling is. Now, I'm in place and I need to make things better as I stay a while... Of course I'm talking about the move that happened last year. In December 2023, I got about 22 hours to decide if I wanted to accept a (rental) house, that I never thought to have a chance with. On July 1st I got the keys. The weekend of 13/14 July, sweet friends helped me a shitload! 😉 As they helped me move most of my things from Cuijk to Herpen. And... That's where I am now. But... Was it worth it? 🤔 […]

Alt text by Bing: A medium dog sits on the pavement in front of a white Toyota car, which is parked outside a suburban house. The entire image is overlaid with a soft purple hue that alters the natural colors, casting a dreamlike atmosphere across the scene. In the foreground, the dog appears to be gazing towards the camera, adding a touch of curiosity and innocence to the composition. Above the dog's head, the car and house provide a structured backdrop, with the house featuring rectangular windows and a visible roofline. At the bottom of the image, bold text in a vibrant pink, stylized font reads, "Was it worth it?" The juxtaposition of the text, dog, car, and house invokes a sense of reflection, potentially questioning life's priorities, material pursuits, or emotional sacrifices. The artistic use of color and text gives the image an air of introspection and creative expression.
