*professionnel* artifact of a past life ended up translated into French at some point apparently!

found the cloud ceiling

hmm, maybe you could register as a browser, and add other types as well. seems like not enough APIs to do a proper "browser switcher" though, and you'd need to forward that share.

fall means xiao mian 🍁🍜 ok yeah we ate it for half of summer too

is there an iOS app that is a generic and configurable share receiver + saver + router?

ok welllll it looks like there really is no API for the issue tracker for the open source browser used by 90% of the people on earth

is there really no API for Chromium issues? surely i'm just not finding it, right?

excellent read for deprogramming your assumptions about how the web is made

Can you help me out, bluesky? 🦋 When exactly did `outline` start following the `border-radius` rounding? Because in the beginning, that wasn't the case. When did that change? When did the change land in browsers? Thank you! Reposts appreciated. #CSS

this is for everyone

user agency almost always == do the work

i guess we'll never know what the solution is

when working on Firefox i used to wonder after the 378th update 🔄 review cycle on a given patch, why there wasn't just a checklist up front. but if there were checklists - they'd be 10,000+ items long - they'd also require review, a LOT MORE of it chromium-review.googlesource.com/c/chromium/s...

this is a new one, just popping up out of the blue. when stuff like this happens, i always assume i'm compromised, immediately turn off the computer, throw it in the garbage and get a new one. it's called opsec, people. gotta keep a wary eye out.

so apparently the answer is no

i got tired of clicking a bunch of times to get to where i can search my posts, so i bookmarked bsky.app/profile/burr... and gave it a keyword, so now i can search my own posts by just typing "bs {something i said}" in the address bar.

Karel Martens exhibit was sooo good

made whampoa eggs, came out quite well - didn't separate yolks, just whipped hard - consistent low heat (warmed the pan up long time) - didn't use wok and had a narrow burner, so folded from the middle out chinesecookingdemystified.substack.com/p/cantonese-...

one reason i reject the 'global, vibes based rejection of liberalism' theory is, as elites have internalised it, they've figured there's nothing to be done other than accommodate fascism but in fact, when we fight, we win all the time

in NL i regularly see websites, both private and govt, which don't require an account to use (let alone require an app). cookies + local storage... that's it! always fantastic UX b/c there's no barrier to start using - no signup junk, no 2fa dance. wonder why... a regulation? a specific school??

book order from India arrived!

thanks @tokono.ma for asking some questions which got me hacking on this again can now open regular windows directly can register as default browser, paring nicely with @sindresorhus.com's Velja to route link clicks w/ a modifier key BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY... it animates the spinner when you type 😎

Citymapper is *exactly* correct for our trams even when they're all f'd up. Google Maps is wrong, even when the the trams are on schedule.

@andrewnez.bsky.social i saw this in a gallery, and thought of you

it's happening again. i'm finding people who i *know* i followed, only to find i'm not following them anymore.

long ago, i made an extension for Firefox that did this for Pocket (called String Or Nothing). but extension APIs require a keyword trigger, instead of integrating matches, so the UX was not great. another example where i have to leave the browser to design the experience i want.

/me adds to list of bad skateparks in great locations the bit closest sends you straight into some bushes the guy at the cafe next door: "the kids need something, but it's not this."

i used to be on team "always file an issue" but after 25yrs+ in open source, my inbox is a stream of: - "we prefer our confusing/dangerous UX/DX" - PR ignored, made worse, or handled insufferably - valid issue closed b/c we added a stalebot now i support maintainers by not filing issues.

ppl honestly don't believe me, look at me like i'm crazy, like it's impossible for any society to be so brutal, especially the US
