First, imagine a number in JavaScript. (Bit of a nail biter here, huh?)

let i = 5

Then, we will construct an incrementor. This is really simple: here is the method.

1. Make a bracket-string-centric version of eval().

[]["filter"]["constructor"]("return i+1")()

2. Reconstruct stringy eval() by using +[] as 0, +!+[] as 1, and implicit conversions as ways to create strings. For example, 'false' is (![]+[]), so 'f' is (![]+[])[+[]].

[][
  (![] + [])[+[]] + // f
  ([![]] + [][[]])[+!+[] + [+[]]] + // i
  (![] + [])[!+[] + !+[]] + // l
  (!![] + [])[+[]] + // t
  (!![] + [])[!+[] + !+[] + !+[]] + // e
  (!![] + [])[+!+[]] // r
][
  ([][(![]+[])[+[]]+(![]+[])[!+[]+!+[]]+(![]+[])[+!+[]]+(!![]+[])[+[]]]+[])[!+[]+!+[]+!+[]]+ // c
  (!![]+[][(![]+[])[+[]]+(![]+[])[!+[]+!+[]]+(![]+[])[+!+[]]+(!![]+[])[+[]]])[+!+[]+[+[]]]+ // o
  ([][[]]+[])[+!+[]]+ // n
  (![]+[])[!+[]+!+[]+!+[]]+ // s
  (!![]+[])[+[]]+ // t
  (!![]+[])[+!+[]]+ // r
  ([][[]]+[])[+[]]+ // u
  ([][(![]+[])[+[]]+(![]+[])[!+[]+!+[]]+(![]+[])[+!+[]]+(!![]+[])[+[]]]+[])[!+[]+!+[]+!+[]]+ // c
  (!![]+[])[+[]]+ // t
  (!![]+[][(![]+[])[+[]]+(![]+[])[!+[]+!+[]]+(![]+[])[+!+[]]+(!![]+[])[+[]]])[+!+[]+[+[]]]+ // o
  (!![]+[])[+!+[]] // r
]("return i+1")()

3. Draw the rest of the fucking owl. Final code:

let i = 5; // haha yay

[][
  (![] + [])[+[]] + // f
  ([![]] + [][[]])[+!+[] + [+[]]] + // i
  (![] + [])[!+[] + !+[]] + // l
  (!![] + [])[+[]] + // t
  (!![] + [])[!+[] + !+[] + !+[]] + // e
  (!![] + [])[+!+[]] // r
][
  ([][(![]+[])[+[]]+(![]+[])[!+[]+!+[]]+(![]+[])[+!+[]]+(!![]+[])[+[]]]+[])[!+[]+!+[]+!+[]]+ // c
  (!![]+[][(![]+[])[+[]]+(![]+[])[!+[]+!+[]]+(![]+[])[+!+[]]+(!![]+[])[+[]]])[+!+[]+[+[]]]+ // o
  ([][[]]+[])[+!+[]]+ // n
  (![]+[])[!+[]+!+[]+!+[]]+ // s
  (!![]+[])[+[]]+ // t
  (!![]+[])[+!+[]]+ // r
  ([][[]]+[])[+[]]+ // u
  ([][(![]+[])[+[]]+(![]+[])[!+[]+!+[]]+(![]+[])[+!+[]]+(!![]+[])[+[]]]+[])[!+[]+!+[]+!+[]]+ // c
  (!![]+[])[+[]]+ // t
  (!![]+[][(![]+[])[+[]]+(![]+[])[!+[]+!+[]]+(![]+[])[+!+[]]+(!![]+[])[+[]]])[+!+[]+[+[]]]+ // o
  (!![]+[])[+!+[]] // r
](
  (!![]+[])[+!+[]]+ // r
  (!![]+[])[!+[]+!+[]+!+[]]+ // e
  (!![]+[])[+[]]+ // t
  ([][[]]+[])[+[]]+ // u
  (!![]+[])[+!+[]]+ // r
  ([][[]]+[])[+!+[]]+ // n
  (+[![]]+[][(![]+[])[+[]]+(![]+[])[!+[]+!+[]]+(![]+[])[+!+[]]+(!![]+[])[+[]]])[+!+[]+[+!+[]]]+ // ' '
  ([![]]+[][[]])[+!+[]+[+[]]]+ // i
  (+(+!+[]+(!+[]+[])[!+[]+!+[]+!+[]]+[+!+[]]+[+[]]+[+[]])+[])[!+[]+!+[]]+ // +
  +!+[] // 1
)()

Anyway, that's just everyday JS work. It's like step 5 after resizing the button, but a bit before centering the div.

based on this. ~some~ ~translation~ ~methods~ ~done~ ~differently.~

Doesn't anyone here know that the Death Note (1) curses all those who use it with misfortune and (2) will trap your soul in limbo after use?

Nah, I'm good. Tweezers and a matchstick.

Did somebody say Inferno?

Whoops, typo! Fixed c:

I forgive 'em cuz watt hours are a disgusting unit in general

Work over time, × time, is just work! kWh are just joules (J) with extra steps! Screw kWh, I will die on this hill!!! Raaah

Make your data useless or wrong.

More passively, there's probably an oddly large amount of John Does born on January 1, 2000 ;)

More offensively, anti-image-gen data poisoning such as Nightshade exists. It's well-defended against IIRC so hopefully someone can Cunningham's Law correct me. And this is also more solo of a movement (as opposed to gaining mass support for something)

SQL sanitization joke. Won't affect most databases today.

NOOOOOO HOW DID I GET SHITTYMORPHED ON LEMMY

Not sure about the latter, but NZT was the focal "smart" drug in Limitless (a show on the premise "this drug makes u smart but if u stop taking it bad stuff happens")

For those who jump around too much like I do, remember:

Not that in particular, but design often comes down to the function f(keywords the branding people like) = very same-looking things. Yay trends.

A lot of fashion companies wanted to be "simple. bold. modern but ready for the future." Now all their logo fonts are basically the same. It's also why everyone loves Futura.

With websites, brand people pick the keywords "calm, professional, modern, reliable" and end up with blue so much that it's the most common website color. So I'm not surprised that the web designers in question picked something "friendly" and "modern" like some font you'd imagine would go well as white text on a matte or charcoal background.

Same reason why I see so much Comfortaa on slideshows (alphabetically near the start of the font list, and f(modern, smart) = title font)
