spacebuffer··on The great cousin decline
Well there are obviously other reasons I want to have cousins, but that's indeed one of them. I think it's because I've experienced having not many cousins first-hand, even the one cousin I have is 10 years younger than me so I don't hang out with him much.

Also my mom was the first of her cousins to get married and have a child (me) so I always felt like I was in a gray area when hanging out with her cousins because there was too little of an age gap between us for them to not take me seriously (and not treat me as a child) but also I wasn't old enough to connect with them and live through their family lore.

few that was hard to write

more fun context: The age gap between me and my mother's youngest cousin is only 3 years so I hope you can see how I am considered like the true youngest cousin between all the cousins.

I think my family has one of the biggest that cousin declines ever: my mother had 32 cousins, while I had only 1. I know that number for a fact because I've done my own genealogy. I guess the advantage is I have a huge number of second cousins

that is one of the reasons I hope to have many children as I get older so that my nephews would have cousins to hang out with.

spacebuffer··on Svelte 5: Runes
> Given this, I'm curious: couldn't the traditional syntax of `let counter = 0` be made to function similarly to the new let count = $state(0);? Just transpile it to let count = $state(0) under the hood? If that can work technically, instead of introducing a new rune for reactivity, why not introduce a "negative" rune to denote non-reactive statements? This way, the change wouldn't break existing code; it would be more of a progressive enhancement.

exactly my thoughts, feels like they could've kept it much simpler

spacebuffer··on How to Export LastPass Passwords to Google Password Manager
Why someone would want to migrate from lastpass to google's password manager manager is beyond me. everyone has got to be aware of google's history[0].

Instead migrate to bitwarden[1]

Reminds me of org-babel[0] for org-mode on emacs, it basically does the same thing. it lets you run code inside your org files.

I love having my own place on the internet, I post every few months these days about various topics (usually life and tech)

Tridcatyl is the reason I keep coming back to firefox, I don't even think the level of customizability it offers is even possible on chromium browsers

spacebuffer··on My Impressions of NixOS
my reasoning with Debian goes like this:

I don't like apt as a package manager, so if I am going with a minimal distribution I'd prefer to use a distro that has a package manager I am comfortable with/enjoy using

but thinking about it, my reasoning may be a flawed so I'll give it a try whenever I have time
