| Food for thought:
| |
| * from a discussion with Doriane
| |
| : decentralization / trans-website (the webring doesn't exist in a website but cross-website which make it less tangible then more magic: it exist trans-website + belongs to no one = a possibility for (re)appropriation/remix/etc.; the magic happens between the websites; we use the term "ring" but there is no ring the ring is a conceptual magical shape.
| |
| : DIWO: physical gathering, ritual, to make up for the inaccessibility of dev/programming tutorials >> shoulder2shoulder against crypto-dev
| |
| : declarativeness
| |
| :: magic is declarative
| |
| ::: formula, incantation, "manifesting" (forming intention) by saying something it becomes real/true/alive/comes into existence
| |
| :: the web is declarative
| |
| ::: CSS selector <code>*:not(:focus):hover</code> <-- incantation that might be super powerful on the web and contains multiple intentions
| |
| ::: "web fabulation" > browser extensions modifying a website in one go (= metamorphosis) | web extensions that metamorphose the web through simple CSS formula | both magic and hacking
| |
| : the language prism: idea of a dialect -- SAAS is out of the standards -- to what extent a magical dialect is different from spoken language
| |
| : hacking: surviving in the system | magic: developing our own knowledge outside of the system
| |
| : ''but we could do magic database!''
| |
| :: aesthetics of the database, writing spells/incantations with databases
| |
| :: most of the database languages are declarative - ex: SQL
| |
| :: ''"is this an occasion to bring magic in a world of oppressing male dev???"''
| |
|
| |
|
| * from self reflections
| |
| :hover
| |
| :focus
| |
| :not()
| |
| :has()
| |
| class name
| |
| id name
| |
| animation
| |
| :visited
| |
|
| |
| all invoke actions or inaction
| |
| bear intention
| |
| have a strong declarative power
| |
|
| |
| everything is a system and we are the hackers
| |
|
| |
|
| z-index with crazy value invoke a special entity of the absolute positioning
| | |
| - CSS as a ritual
| | |
| - CSS as a spell
| | |
| - CSS is a declarative language, spells and incantations are declarative
| | </div> |
| - The content of a website lies in the <body> (physical), the information about the website is in the <head> (spiritual)
| | </div> <!-- this is the end of the page --> |
