A Brief History of People Have Lost Their Sense of Humour 🧵

I've just relaunched CSS Demystified! Rebuilt from the ground up, on my own custom platform, and here to help you start writing CSS with confidence 😊 thecascade.dev/courses/css-...

It's trans day of visibility! Trans men and trans women and trans non-binary people - I see you. I feel safe around you. I count several of you as my friends. There have always been trans people.

I dislike the "CSS zealots" line (I probably am one), and found it hard to really understand what's going on when the main conversation is within an X thread I cannot access for myself (deleted my account there years ago). But! This helps a lot: denodell.com/blog/youre-l...

We could use your help. If you’ve ever wanted to work with us, now would be an excellent time! Please spread the word. Thank you! cloudfour.com/thinks/more-...

That's a very misleading close button

My eldest has been using this on his Android tablet to make short stop motion films: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cateater.stopmotionstudio He wants to pay 6€ to get some of the upgrades, notably some kind of erase function. Is this any good or are there other apps we […]

Intriguing. Though the URL as handle is already a good way. Most people who ought to be verified probably have access to a domain.

One thing that has struck me about footage from the No Kings protests is that outside of the big cities where there's an obvious city hall or capitol to march to, people line up along roads and intersections. The cars are still king (with a little K). No one will see the protests, if not from cars.

The #NoKings protests are not useless. Growing solidarity is important. Feeling empowered by how many of you there are is important. Bringing together like minded people to spark organising is important. Find someone with a clipboard and sign up to do something concrete towards a better future 💚

I think the clocks in UK go back tonight. Or forward. Not sure. Is it forward

I'm heartened by these numbers, but then I go and look at seat projections, and it still looks grim for the progressive side of parliament. Even adding up the projected seats of Greens, Lib Dems and Labour, they don't beat Reform. Is there a long term plan for turning these percentages into seats?

Transphobia cooks your brain. You spend years screaming "everyone fits neatly into two sexes!" and then reality hands you Khelif or Caster Semenya and you can't adjust. You can't say "this is more complicated than I thought." You just call her a man, because the framework demands it. Fundamentalism.

Hello new followers! Where did you follow me from? A starter pack? Please tell me, I find this constant trickle of new followers somewhat unsettling 😅

theuselessweb.com strong Stumbleupon vibes

This is not an article that Steve, the author, thinks should exist in a healthy industry, but the shape of our industry — especially right now — makes this sort of article very necessary and hopefully helpful to you in your job. piccalil.li/blog/applyin...

This makes me sound profound - but let me be clear, like Alice: "I give myself very good advice, But I very seldom follow it. That explains the trouble that I'm always in..."

LOLOL just asked my team mates whether we should call this a toggle or a switch and we're currently on 33 replies

A few thoughts on the "old" Internet tylergaw.com/blog/the-old...

Just ordered a year's subscription. It'll be a bit laggy as it'll have to come over the atlantic ocean to get to us, but so what. Looking forward to them!

If vibe coding looked like this, I might be more into it. ALT: Text: "Computing in the year 2029" as depicted in "UNIX WORLD" magazine, in 1985. Image: A woman in a jumpsuit wearing a metallic blue wig holds up two cards firing neon laser beams into three CRT monitors on the desk on front of her.

Finally put it on today!

Looking for book recommendations for a precocious 8 year old reader who we got started on @philipreeve.bsky.social - first Adventuremice but since has also devoured Railhead and is onto the Mortal Engines books! I think Sci-Fi is becoming his thing... Ideally books without swearing or sex please!

Has anyone got solar power via IKEA? Came across it on their site recently.

You could say that Rock n Roll was born 111 years ago today in Arkansas, but probably not where you'd think. Before there was a Chuck Berry or Little Richard, there was those who wanted to be like her. Rosetta Nubin better known as Sister Rosetta Tharpe, the godmother of Rock was born on this day

Ahhh, I'm talking to my team about really ridiculous customisable <select> examples. Does anyone know where I can find that really funny one that remakes the Nintendo duck hunt game? You open the <select> and there's random <option>s flying across the screen and your cursor is a target marker. 😂

I'm glad there were subtitles as that was very fast, slurry speech - by both of them - punctuated by strong sniffing noises. Makes me wonder what they were up to before recording.

I'd be in a lot less pain if the automated outcomes were accessible and performant and simply not janky.

Goth nights: The Cure - A forest , Sister Of Mercy - Temple of Love, Joy Division - Love will tear us apart, Killing Joke - Love like blood. Punk nights: anything by The Damned or Sex Pistols. Rock nights: Slayer - South of Heaven, Slipknot - Psychosocial, Rammstein - Weisess Fleisch.

Without naming your job, tell me something you say over and over again at work. "...it's more complicated than I thought it would be"

Ohhhh. Just looked up the time cards that appear on various Youtube videos because I finally realised the same things popped in lots of places. So, I never watched much SpongeBob... spongebob.fandom.com/wiki/List_of...

This feels like a good way for the AI bubble to burst - people get to keep their useful pet oracles and stop paying and giving their data to the oligarchs: youtu.be/YTLnnoZPALI

Maybe it's just the nature of pop music and that you can write widely about themes and they will continue to stay relevant but oof, even the lyrics of "Where is the Love" are hitting me hard lately.

The Internet Phonebook issue 2 is opening for submissions!: https://tally.so/r/3EEZzL It's legit, a lovely printed object, I'm in the first one :)

I can't believe that there are still tickets left for Web Day Out tomorrow. Use my discount code JOIN_MANUEL and grab a ticket! See you there! ti.to/clearleft/we...

One of those "fkn computers!" days.

Is there a way to stop a PWA from opening links "in-app"? It's very annoying!

Some women's day reading for techies: web.archive.org/web/20191130...

To people suffering with a buggy Bluesky app - I use the web version installed as a PWA on my phone instead of the app and it's fine enough? Maybe it's a little behind the app in terms of features, but also hopefully less buggy.

Windows 95 and thank you for trying WinZip

Just realized this is basically the Pratchett / Discworld quote about expensive boots costing a lot more but cheap boots wearing out much much faster, costing more in the long run...

Boo, yet more jeans worn out between the legs before I've even had them a year. I even bought 2 pairs the same size and wore them interchangeably, and tried the Scotchgard hack around the crotch area (but I only did it once because it's stinky and I worried about forever chemicals near my nethers).

Too long; didn't watch: Every time we do or say even a little thing to someone in the community, it ripples and multiplies outward. Social change happens painfully slowly and feels like failure, until change suddenly comes all at once after a tipping point.

Thanks Barry.

This sounds like Timbl's Solid project to me: solidproject.org
