@happyborg "serverless function" is the correct and adopted technical term. As far as I know it wasnt coined by google, but if it was, i dont see that really making a difference. It is the established standard term for such a thing.

You can run it in a server configuration if you want, go for it. Some of us dont want that level of complexity, especially not for a static site that has no need for it.

> I think a useful distinction is whether site specific code runs outside the client.

For ActivityPub it must, it is designed to. There are solutions if you want it totally in the client though, go for that if you want it.. I intend to add Nostr support on top of AP so my site does both and so people can follow it using the standard of their choice.

@MaierAmsden

Thats not what you did, you didnt even admit Biden was racist, let alone "in varying degree"... you tried to defend it with excuses and dismissing it as not racist calling it a "one off gaff" .. how something that lasts 10 years is a one off gaff is mind boggling.

@BlueintheSouth @cathyginter

@MaierAmsden

Ahh glad to see your making posts to show you agree with what i said now, thanks for that,yes I agree that is evidence that supports what I said.

@BlueintheSouth @cathyginter

I literally have the original 1980's official congress transcript posted on my TL from discussing this already... It very clearly shows the quote is valid, real, and in context.

@MaierAmsden

Then bring it up in thrad not as a side fork and i might comment... but a side fork that hides the rest of the conversation showing you defending explicit racism isnt going to work, no i wont jump on that side thread and let you get out of it that easy... if you want to talk your pre-racist defenses will be held on record for all to see here.

@BlueintheSouth @cathyginter

@MaierAmsden

HAHAHA "Spending 10 years keeping blacks our of white schools and **explicitly(( stating your doing it cause you dont want your white kids among other races, thats just a one time decontextualized gaffe".... hahahahahahahahahahahahaha

God the mental gymnastics you will go through to defend racist politicians its amazing. I mean its not a "one time" its literally consistent over decades but ok....

@BlueintheSouth @cathyginter

@MaierAmsden

It is a link to **this** thread where I already used my words.. now your insisting i have to repeat myself because you wont read messages I already replied to you? Get a clue.

@BlueintheSouth @cathyginter

@MaierAmsden

I was alive during bussing... allowing black kids to choose if they want to go to a white school rather than force them to segregate is the choice... Sure invest in their schools too.. then the kids wont **opt** to bus to the white schools...

But yes it was racist, he made it clear his entire goal to oppose bussing was to keep his kids out of a "racial jungle".. excuse it all you want but he explicitly stated he was doing it for racist reasons and to keep his kids away from mixed race populations....

Kinda disgusting that knowing his motivations (and I showed you the quote) you would even defend this... thats some racist BS right there coming out of you.

> There's a massive difference between unconscious bias, unintentional casual racism and overt intentional in-your-face racism.

There sure is, but you missed an important classification "covert intentional but significant racism"

> Joe Biden didn't refuse to rent to blacks.

No he did far worse, he spent the first part of his career trying to keep segregation alive, it was his primary goal for the better part of a decade at least... Id say trying to keep all blacks of the USA segregating is quite a bit worse than not renting to blacks.

That isnt to say him not renting to blacks is bad, its horribly racist. My point is, Joe can and has gone toe to toe with him on racism.

The only difference is Joe learned his overt racism wasnt working, so he went into stealth racism mode and instead of directly attacking the blacks and minorities now he exploits them for his own personal gains.

> Joe Biden doesn't deny the existence of systemic racism or think whites are the real victims.

Oh he definitely did.. By promoting to keep segregation alive in the 80s when he wasnt covert about his racism he very much was painting the whites as the victim... after all he claimed the reason he didnt want segregation is so his white children werent the victims of a "racial jungle"... yea sorry he played that card too

@BlueintheSouth @cathyginter

@timorl

Yes your right i did mix those up.. while i was familiar witht he difference i do often mix them up accidentally due to the bad naming.

Yes I agree being against the two parties doesnt neccesarly make you centrist, only when other quotes are lacking it is suggestive of that.

Assuming the quotes on wikipedia can be verified (so far I havent been able to) then I agree his statements would be suggestive of a left lean.

My definition of centrist appears fine and normal, I just lacked some information about MLK.

@happyborg

Static sites actually have come a long way, to the point that the term is still super confusing.

Yes the code itself is static html. and the code itself doesnt change between deploys. To answer your question it uses javascript (originally written as typescript). Some of it even runs remotely on the server, though its called "serverless functions" since the lambdas run without any OS or system info.

So the javascript basically can modify the code on the fly (the local js) and act as endpoints for things like follows using serverless functions but still running "in the cloud" (you see those int he api folder).

Next you might be wondering where the data is stored... It uses a firebase DB, so basically the DB is also in the cloud and is accessed with javascript as well... So the dynamic parts are rendered dynamically using static code written in javascript :)

@timorl

So first lets lead in with another quote showing his centrism:

"The Negro has been betrayed by both the Republican and the Democratic party. The Democrats have betrayed him by capitulating to the whims and caprices of the Southern Dixiecrats. The Republicans have betrayed him by capitulating to the blatant hypocrisy of reactionary right wing northern Republicans." -- MLK

> I assume that means you disagree with MLK being a democratic socialist

You seem to misunderstand centrists.. They can and will pick views on one side of the fence or another.. gut they will not espouse it as an ideologically pure idea, they will try to temper it and bring it to a modified more central manifestation.

I am about as centrist as you get, but I have views on both sides of the spectrum, usually strongly, and always modifiy those views to address the nuance rather than use a sledge hammer, bringing them closer to the center. For example sure, I beleive in free guns, but i also beleive in tax paid resources, like giving everyone a free gun paid for by taxes... cant get more centrist than that! (I am half-joking of course)...

But to get back to MLK, yes he leaned more social-welfare capitalism (what we really mean when we say democratic socialism) than pure capitalism. In fact he even made clear that while he liked the idea of social-welfare the pure system of socialism would need to be modified in some way in order to be of use to us. Here is the quote:

"If we are going to achieve a real equality, the U.S. will have to adopt a modified form of Socialism." -- MLK

So yea as always he leaned one way, but never to the ideaologically pure end of the spectrum where the extremes exist, he lives well within the moderates and close to the center.

> The latter also contains quotes where he clearly states he at least mostly voted for Democrats (and he was even planning to endorse one, only a political assassination stopped him), and no indication whatsoever that he ever voted for a Republican

That sounds like a compelling argument. Sadly when i followed the cited sources so i could read and gather an opinion I couldnt find anything linked I could follow. More research needed.

@lonelyowl

Hahaha I'm not even sure they know which is which at this point... Takes them an hour just to figure out where they are most of the time.

@BlueintheSouth @cathyginter

@BlueintheSouth

You will have to be a bit more specific... we have two people, both extremely racist, one senile, the other just a regular old moron.... the list in ways they failed is quite long... for starters which one?

@timorl

> I have the feeling you are ever so slightly strawmanning communism…

Its not about communism or what you think.. But when it comes to poverty there are two extremes... Either you make everyone poor by taking it away so no one has any (communism), or you let everyone starve and die and give the wealth one or a few elites.. Both extreme non-moderate approaches are harmful compared to moderate approaches between those two

Thats all it isnt about communism.

> Im not arguing whether being moderate is good or bad, but whether MLK can be accurately called a centrist.

Well you did earlier, you tried to claim that his view on moderates when it came to race could apply to other political things in the same way, which i demonstrated it cant, and MLK likely would have known that.

> but whether MLK can be accurately called a centrist.

Happy to go back to that.. so I provided one piece of strong evidence where it made clear he was at least somewhere opposed to both parties, essentially playing both sidism and demoncrating himself as a centrist with that quote

Any time he has been asked to side with a party or a part of the political spectrum he never has... Do you have **any** quotes or evidence from him he saw one side of the political spectrum especially superior to the other?

@healthiswealth

Ahh ok... right now deleting isnt added but ill be adding that shortly.. feel free to clutter though I can always delete by hand for now.
