When you sign out of a website, it shouldn’t take you back to the home page or sign in form. I’ve finished using the site.

Sign out should really close the browser tab, shut down the browser, and finally turn the computer off for the rest of the day.

Saw that Microsoft saying it’s a website’s fault if your password gets swept up by Recall if the site doesn’t cloak the password entry field following “standard internet protocols” which completely ignores the accessibility case for showing someone what they’ve typed in to their password field. Pretty sure every password manager lets you do this, and a ton of sites as well.

What a head-in-the-sand take.

After weeks of planning, waiting, scouring, four-step protein mordanting, and dye extraction, the first batches of our kid’s summer market project are in production. Want to guess the (botanical) dye source?

Oi, @Wilto if I buy the PDF version of Multipage, do the proceeds still go to Translife? I live in an unmapped part of the globe and can’t get the print one shipped here.

Is this a rerun? Didn't we already do this?

I’m reading this article about the de-skilling of the web, web dev burnout, and how we are no longer allowed to be specialists. I’m reading it while at work where I’m trying to figure out why my SQL queries aren’t working, what I’ve done wrong in a backend server framework, and there’s a design waiting for me to review before I implement it in CSS and HTML. 😖

Please let me hone in on just a couple of these and practice a craft…

TIL there’s a big difference between “Looks like this is your issue” and “Looks like this is your issue” and it’s impossible to tell them apart in plain text.

Finally got a hard drive issue sorted out and all my self hosted bits and pieces running again. I guess this is the risk of not renting hardware. Still, fun to have it all working again and aside from catastrophic failures, I think I’m set now.

Are AIs/LLMs going to push everyone away from VC & Big Tech content & communication products to self-hosted and/or FOSS products? That would be nice. Though it feels like the method of getting there is the rejuivination that comes after a raging and destructive wildfire.

So Slack is going to read private messages and shared files all so that it can…
checks notes
Recommend other channels for you?! That is a hilariously bad cost/value prop.
Oh, also it will suggest emojis for you.

I have telegram because it was really easy to set up a bot and a bash script to send messages to it-basically my own little notifications app. But it’s also the only thing I use telegram for. What’s a good alternative? Free and open source preferred. Self hosting as well
