Can't be overstated how refreshing it is to see statements like this finally cropping up in tech job listings.

Lissa please reopen the store, I need this mug so bad. 😭

🏳️ Marked safe from a last-minute ballot-dropbox meet-cute.

watching the tech industry burn out all the people i know who actually care about delivering things that aren’t perpetually broken, all at the altar of infinite velocity, is making me utterly utterly furious.

Filling my cart with hundreds of dollars of shit and then leaving so the webmaster has to put it all back on the pages 😌

Excited to participate in the GitLab to Codeberg/Forgejo Migration Party with all of you. 🎉 about.gitlab.com/blog/gitlab-...

Ope, did someone see my post. 👀 Seems they're hiring for this, but it's on-site in Salem: www.tylertech.com/careers/job-... (Would love to see the contract for this work go to an agency that is actually fully based and staffed in Oregon, but alas. 🤷‍♀️)

Love to see text-decoration: none; overrides and a reset :focus outline for links on government sites; you can never tell if it's a disdain for the public or just your average disdain for accessibility and the front-end. In the 4th image, I reset and resized them so you can see where they all are.

I wrote about why I quit my job, and how weird and tiring tech feels these days.

So grateful for everyone who fought for the strides made tonight to create a more vibrant and robust inner southeast via dense, affordable housing. May the displacements end and better futures begin.

Hey friends! I currently have availability for UI/UX design/development work, but I'm also looking to be part of a team again. I've been passionate about the web platform for over 20 years, and would love to find folks that care about process and craft as much as I do. 💜 www.mandynicole.com

Save cartridges were sold separately, but it was plugged into the VCR, so I would switch the source when someone wanted to watch TV and hope no one would turn it off. I still remember a rose I spent hours on and was so proud of, and how it felt to press the power button and watch it go black. 😭

Quick reminder, especially if you’re a freelancer or developer using Free/Pro/Pro+ plans for client work: Opt out of GitHub using your data for AI model training before April 24 (seriously, wtf that this isn’t opt-in!). github.com/settings/cop...

In 2023, Niantic's failed pet sim Peridot was allowing minors to post entire videos to public, global chatrooms of them walking around their bedrooms, homes, and neighborhoods. When people would respond under the videos asking why they could see them, previously chatty staff would magically vanish.

I hear you like archives. So I made an archive of archives, so you can look at an archive while you’re looking for archives. archiveofarchives.com

Incredible article detailing humiliating behind-the-scenes behavior of nearly half our city council and those pulling the strings, esp during the clown show that was our council president elections. Grateful to have Jeremiah, the Mercury, and the progressive caucus calling these embarrassments out.

my ideal future is not one where tech makes everyone go faster but one where everyone has the freedom to slow down

There are a lot of causes that need help today. I'll be donating to trans orgs in red states as well. But any #pottery sales today and tomorrow will go to support families at a south Minneapolis Public School: art.miriamsuzanne.com www.gofundme.com/f/support-mi...

Begging communities to use forums again.

stranger: what do you do for work? me, shamefully: computer

This multi-year campaign of not listening to your users has been such innovative, subversive marketing. To abandon Servo only to destroy faith in your own brand in order to elevate them as the rightful successor? Kind of an anti-ARG, but great storytelling nonetheless.

Macromedia flash

As if Figma didn't already burn enough trust with designers, now they are also silently opting everyone in to let them train their AI on your work. For the time being, you can opt out in the settings. But for how much longer?

So much admiration for Steve and the GN crew's unwavering exposés on what's happening in tech right now while underscoring that it is a concerted effort to transfer the ownership of data, devices, and intellectual freedom from individuals to private equity at the expense of human rights.

A reminder that if you're an old mutual, a front-end-oriented person, or a Portlander, I'm a lot more active (and candid) over on Mastodon — front-end.social/@mandy

You love to see it.

On desktop, FF now has these summaries tied to extended keydown on links—which I've come to learn is something I unknowingly do a lot—so not only does an obnoxious UI now interfere with my natural behavior, but it doesn't even work 90% of the time and I wouldn't trust it if it did.

if anyone’s looking for aknitomy, I’ll be on my own site, which doesn’t quiiiiite have the foot traffic that etsy does. So feel free to share if you know anyone who needs a knitted dissected frog www.aknitomy.com/shop

Thank god CSS isn't owned by a company. Although I use Figma daily, I'm ready to switch to another design tool at any moment. I don't care. I will start using Penpot more, just in case.

we could go further

Medical negligence the day prior left nurse Adriana Smith braindead the following morning at 9 weeks pregnant. Georgia is forcing her body to incubate until delivery at her family's expense. They have been having to tell her young son that she's just "sleeping" to explain why she's still breathing.

A web design app built in the browser that doesn't let you design with actual HTML/CSS, doesn't let you style links, doesn't allow for contextual modifications to variables, and doesn't output semantic code in 2025 is embarrassing and grossly overvalued.

the Unified Web Site Accessibility Guidelines, which eventually spawned the WCAG, was published in 1995. access/assistive tech have been first-class citizens of web tech for 30 years. if you're still "doing a11y" as the last step of your projects, you've never hit the skill floor of web development

But I was promised the stolen item art I FOMO'd under the false pretense of digital scarcity for the stolen character design I spent my retirement on would exist and magically transfer to every stolen idea for a vaporware web3 game until the end of time.

capitalism, and specifically the pressure to maximize economic activity regardless of the social cost, is the biggest impediment to technology that actually serves the needs of the public

trying to switch off the AI bloatware that has been pinned to the top of every single menu in every single app

Been writing CSS for 25 years and still only defer to the W3C docs when I can't find the details elsewhere or need to verify them. And every time I do I think a lot about how the poor design and verbosity/lack of examples has pushed visual learners and thinkers—folks we need doing this work—away.
