The site is LEZ watch TV.

The about page explains it’s female, non-binary (and ALL that encompasses), and trans.

It explains why no dudes.

And yet. If a week goes by when someone doesn’t tell us we’re missing some dudes, I wonder if the site is down.

Also man this person had to work to find the wrong contact form… we have one ON EVERY SHOW/ACTOR/CHARACTER PAGE! It says “suggest an edit to this page”!

Hooooow….

bluewinds,

@ipstenu It does? I read the "About" page and didn't see an explanation there.

I also looked through the FAQ and didn't see anything there either. Might be worth adding to the FAQ, even if you have an explanation elsewhere as well, since, well, it sounds like it's frequently asked!

bluewinds,

@ipstenu Yeah, I saw that's what it was about, but I didn't see an explanation about "why no dudes", just the fact of it.

It's very disappointing to see Mozilla decide that it's fine for MDN to use an LLM to provide inaccurate and misleading information to its users — because apparently the only thing that matters is that it looks helpful, not whether it's actually reliable — and refuse to listen to the many people in the community telling them it's harmful and they don't want this.

ChatGPT is a chatbot. A very impressive one, yes. But it cannot deliver reliable information no matter how much you want it to or how helpful it may appear to be. Because it's not a machine for doing that. It's a "'say something that sounds like an answer' machine". Sadly, it seems Mozilla doesn't care.

#mozilla #mdn

bluewinds,

I "love" how Mozilla is busy renaming issues to hide the problem, ignoring criticism, and writing a post-mortem which ignores the problem.

I wrote a comment in the original issue which has since been closed, but this new one is just being ignored at this point, so I don't see the point in doing so again.

The enshitification of the internet continues, and it was silly of me to hope that MDN and Mozilla would be above it.

What if Lua instead of JS in browser?

bluewinds,

@gameplayer I've found lua pretty unpleasant every time I've had to work with it, while I'm quite fond of JS.

What would be the benefits that you're interested in?

bluewinds,

@gameplayer That's the promise of webassembly, a cross-browser compatible format that you can compile any language into.

Looks like this is the most active / live framework for compiling Lua to wasm: https://github.com/ceifa/wasmoon

Can't say I've used any of them, but this would probably be a place to start.

#Washington passed a great missing middle housing bill, but the state's commerce department is ready to undercut it. Here's to hoping #Seattle at least is rather bolder.

> Last fall, [the department of] Commerce hired a consultant to “inform about and assist local governments with middle housing policies, regulations, and programs.”

> Parking is mandated throughout the toolkit, a reversal for many jurisdictions that are moving away from required off street parking.

> The toolkit increases barriers for sites with multiple buildings on a single site, which would render many currently popular types of middle housing... nearly impossible to build on compact urban lots.

> Finally, as one gets into the details of each overlay, it is chock full of reductions: larger setbacks, less lot coverage, less height, larger minimum lot areas, prescriptive design standards – each taking a bite out of the viability of future housing.

what's the general solution for a lightweight, non-react JavaScript solution? been years since I looked at front end

bluewinds,

@0x4d6165 Plain old javascript is a lot better than it used to be, if you don't want to support ancient browsers. Something like PicoCSS for a CSS framework and then web components is surprisingly pleasant to work with.

If you want something a bit more frameworky, Vue is my stable production go-to, and Svelte my "really nice, but still new" choice.

bluewinds,

@thure @0x4d6165

I actually really like react, it's been my go-to for years. But the ask was "non-react" stuff, so that's how I answered!

Also I'm a little concerned over Facebook's control over it, so looking for alternatives is completely reasonable.

This one took so much effort yet at the same time i feel like there's not enough expressions LUL

bluewinds,

@AzulCrescent Neat to find you on here!

I've been following your comic for a while, it's great. <3

I really, deeply wish everyone would make some collective effort to unlearn the passive argumentative nature we all learned from Twitter.

Everyone always treated posts like invitations to debate or argue every point.

We deserve better than this. We don’t have to do that.

bluewinds,

@louie Posting on an open forum, in public, is and invitation to discourse in my book.

Meeting strangers and discussing things of mutual interest is why I'm on here; if you're not on here for the same reason, then as you so dismissively put it,

"Begone."

Today marks the 54th anniversary of the Stonewall Rebellion. 54 years ago, members of the LGBTQ+ protested for our right to be seen, heard, and protected. It was a moment in time that forever transformed the gay liberation movement.

For more information on how to preserve and honor the legacy of Stonewall, check out the Stonewall National Monument Visitor Center, https://stonewallvisitorcenter.org/.

bluewinds,

@georgetakei

Stonewall was a riot. It's literally on one of the pictures you posted; don't try to sanitize history into tame "protests".

Protests ask politely if people killing us would please stop; riots get things done.

Corvid enthusiasts who were on twitter before coming here will remember my friend Kris Tsujikawa's crow photographs. Below, two of her latest, posted with permission.

Kris is on the board of PAWS, a local pet and wildlife rescue and rehabilitation organization, and is close to her fundraising goal for this year. If you miss Kris's photography, take a look at what PAWS does and consider making a donation to her campaign.

bluewinds,

@ct_bergstrom I'm not much of a photographer, but I'll see if I can get some decent pictures of my backyard friends.

I've been feeding them for most of a year now, and they've gone from extremely skittish to only marginally skittish. :D

They'll let me get about 6' away when they come down to eat the cat food I leave them. One, who I've named Phineas, comes by to say hello and chat even when they're not hungry! Cooing, beak clicking, hooting - we make noises at each other and hang out for a few minutes almost every day.

> The Sound Transit board is poised to vote on alternatives to be studied in the Everett Link Extension’s first round of environmental review. But the alternatives set to be incorporated into that review process evoke more the horrors of the 1950s and 1960s highway building era than a modern rapid rail transit system that belongs in urban communities.

> By and large, these displacement impacts are avoidable, not inevitable. That’s because Sound Transit could locate its elevated guideway and stations into existing streets. The alignment alternatives that county officials have settled upon are almost universally parallel to streets and stroads that exceed 60 feet in width. That’s more than enough to accommodate guideway, pylons, and stations while maintaining sufficient lanes for car traffic.

Good morning, Mastodon , readers and folk. I'm a professional looking for beta readers for my next novel.

Would you like to read 70,000 words of lesbian urban fantasy set in post (second) civil war US, with a focus on the gods and monsters of late stage capitalism?
