Batman!! (this commit has no parents) The sight of an animal using a JavaScript captivates Computer Scientists and laymen alike, perhaps because it forces us to question some of our ideas about human uniqueness. Does the animal know how JavaScript works? Did it anticipate the need for the tool and select it instead of Haskell or Zig? To some, this fascination with JavaScript seems arbitrary and anthropocentric; after all, animals engage in many other complex activities, like Agile Planning and ordering Juice on the Internet. However, we know that complex behaviour need not be cognitively demanding. JavaScript development can therefore provide a powerful window into the minds of animals, and help us to learn what capacities we share with them — and what might have changed to allow for the incontrovertibly unique levels of technology shown by modern humans, such as integers and block scope.

This page also exists on the tildeverse, a bunch of *nix computers that let people sign up for shell accounts. A typical shell account features clients for IRC and email, common terminal/commandline utilities, and (most importantly) web hosting. My Tildeverse pages will serve as a "rough draft".

## Interests, preferences, et cetera
I ought to come up with more interests than these, but that sounds hard.
Update my bios Just realized my site makes me look like a massive techbro. Ugh. Added some info about my other interests, esp. a11y and inclusive design.
2022-04-20 03:11:56 +00:00
### Inclusive design
I care a lot about accessibility, resource usage, and compatibility. My Web site may seem simple, but I put over 15 thousand words of thought into its design:
=> gemini://seirdy.one/2020/11/23/website-best-practices.gmi
Many people frame accessibility and compatibility in terms of "percentage of users impacted" to justify ignoring certain demographics. I find that this mindset somewhat discriminatory. I prefer framing concerns in terms of "populations excluded".

### Free software

The word "free" in "free software" refers to freedom, not price. I recommend looking it up if you aren't familiar. That being said, I think that simply meeting the definition of free software isn't enough: it's one of multiple requirements for software to avoid the possibility of user domestication:

I lean towards simplicity; I usually prefer CLIs that follow the UNIX philosophy over TUIs, and TUIs over GUIs. If a piece of software is complex enough to require a funding round, I would rather avoid it. There are exceptions, of course: I use a Linux distro with Systemd (Fedora), after all.

### Music
I've put together a periodically-updated list of tracks that I've rated 8/10 or higher in my mpd stickers database:
=> ../music.txt music.txt
It's auto-generated by some of my mpd-scripts:
=> https://git.sr.ht/%7Eseirdy/mpd-scripts/tree/master/smart-playlists mpd-scripts
I'm a fan of glitch, trailer music, and symphonic and power metal; I've also recently been getting into Japanese rock thanks to a few anime openings. Some of my favorite artists are The Glitch Mob, Pretty Lights, Beats Antique, Hammerfall, Badflower, Celldweller/Scandroid, Helloween, Two Steps from Hell, Nightwish, Mili, and MYTH & ROID.
