My talk this afternoon at @webhackfest is about Funding the Web Ecosystem (with a little Dune/Sci Fi crossover).

You can tune in for all the talks today on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/live/r4tPJDj7nm0?si=uVioz7aZTgD3jRUY

@koalie @webhackfest I will have to look through it and see where it is. I'm not sure exactly with the breaks we had between talks. I'll post a link soon.

Hypothetically speaking ...

if a certain CSS conference in Amsterdam I'm not at liberty to name would be planning its next edition, and the choices were Thu/Fri 5th/6th or 12th/13th of June, ...

and Pentecost were on 8th/9th of June ... (and Father's Day on 15th)

would you prefer a conference just before the Pentecost weekend, or the week after? Or even later?

Please boost, especially if you are in the habit of visiting hypothetical CSS conferences in Amsterdam.

What are we all using for cross posting to sites because the Twitter/Threads/Mastodon/Bluesky and sometimes LinkedIn pipeline is EXHAUSTING

I mean, that’s pretty darn neat.

Hey crew - It's a perfect weekend to stock up on technical & educational books this weekend as EVERYTHING is 50% over at Manning Publications!

That means my book "Design for Developers" is 50% off! Snag a physical copy so you get all the pages in color (it makes a difference!)

ScarJo saying no you can't use my voice and Altman doing it anyway is so telling.

I started vlogging a few weeks ago as a way to learn how to edit videos and just generally share about life in a new way because typical blogging wasn't doing it for me any longer.

A few videos in, I can already tell an improvement in editing.

I am not a designer (I think I'm actively bad at design even) so I don't mean to bash anyone, but as a user I find interfaces like this absolutely terrible:

https://www.msn.com/en-us/tv/news/the-1-sitcom-of-all-time-isn-t-seinfeld-friends-or-the-office-according-to-data-see-the-top-100/ss-BB1lXB5Z?ocid=msedgntp&pc=U531&cvid=0616b5997d6a41b88a4a09b1380343cb&ei=41#image=1

It's so damned busy and distracting, where does the article stop/start? The article itself literally seems to stop at "Counting down from , here are the best sitcoms of all time." which is the clickbaity shit that gets you there in the first place. Where? Where is it? Can you find it? I can't.

@bkardell the MSN article design is such a hot mess and based on what I experienced while at Msft, you can't convince me it's not intentional to get people to accidentally click on any of those sponsored click bait links.

seaotta,
@seaotta@toot.cafe avatar

@bkardell I always struggle with these because they are a carousel. I don't have time to click through 100. Also on some articles, they put content behind a read more button that basically just reveals the rest of the article and I constantly miss that. It's not paywalled. Why is it necessary.

@seaotta@toot.cafe avatar

@bkardell yes it is, there should be arrows on the pictures 🥴

When you work on the web platform and web standards.

Font Awesome raised $721,620 to build an open source library of web components. Their goal was $30,000.

I need to collect my thoughts and put it in a blog post but I'm curious what the community's thoughts are on this because that is not a trivial amount of money.

As a web platform PM working in open source and trying to find ways to get funding for projects...was this good marketing? Is it selling a different solution to what's already out there?

I’m just wondering how people would react if I posted I was handing out books on Wicca and Witchcraft that I’d signed at a tech conference.

@DavidDarnes They've been called out on Twitter but I've muted the thread because it will steal too much of my peace. So infuriating.

So someone tagged me on LinkedIn saying my book inspired their most recent video...and then they proceed to link to two books by men instead of mine.

@Meyerweb is burning down the internet an overreaction? Asking for me.

I got to try @jhey's Brick Yourself (https://brick-yourself.vercel.app/). I love that it nailed a Steel City shirt that I wasn't even wearing :) 🤘 Love it. Thanks @seaotta for reminding me of it.
