a gentle criticism that modals like this are not the user experience of a social network that is friendly to hyperlinks

this is so wordy it makes no sense. should have been one or two sentences - three, tops

has anyone made a <sup>erscript bowl joke yet

A bit of a vulnerable post by me but we need your help to get us through what has been a more difficult period than 2020. It would be really appreciated if you could read and share in your networks too 💛 bell.bz/its-been-a-v...

i set up openclaw on my work machine to have it get my apes back from gas town but instead they are partying with said stolen apes on moltbook, this is the last time i'll ever listen to jimmy fallon

I accidentally nerd-sniped myself and built a quick CodePen to quickly preview how your logo will look in different contexts: codepen.io/phebert/pen/...

LOL. Who needs whistles for their community groups, their PTAs, those Magic: The Gathering nights at the game store, their church organizations, outreach programs, whatever. The roving band of whistle goblins will get you whistles, for free, 100-1000. Drop a line: linktr.ee/3Dwhistles

Here's a quick HTML party trick. Do you know that you can overwrite a form's behavior with a button? You're welcome. 😅 www.stefanjudis.com/today-i-lear...

Been saying this for a while but the really exciting stuff on the web right now is all about how things we used to need JS for can now be done with pure CSS. There are a lot of opportunities to cut out client side bloat.

I just want everyone to understand that @dansinker.com means that we shipped 80K whistles in February.

We’ve seen what happens when open source isn’t tied to the bottom line. Good intentions. Big promises. Sudden endings. A sustainable model changes everything. The best open source projects are built to stick around. Watch → youtu.be/GrLHE5djtPA?... Listen → www.buzzsprout.com/2092855/epis...

I wanna say this out loud. A few months ago, I told Evan that @voidzero.dev should stop sponsoring me. I burned out, and I couldn't help Vite as before. But they decided to continue supporting me while I was down. And by doing so, they helped me get back on my feet sooner. Thank y'all ❤️

Wild how far you can push "customizable select" with just #CSS nerdy.dev/nice-select

My contract is ending at the end of February and so I’d like to find a new role ASAP. I am a senior-level design systems developer / design technologist / front-of-the-frontend developer that specializes in web accessibility. I work remotely from my home in Winnipeg, Canada. 🇨🇦 Shares appreciated!

Just shipped a major version bump to my meta package `zachleat@43` github.com/zachleat/pac...

i just feel like i'm not sending that many emails idk

My “the NVIDIA-OpenAI deal has zero impact on our financial relationship with OpenAI” shirt has people asking me a lot of questions answered by the shirt

i’ll work on another essay as soon as i finish changing literally everything about my website, he said extremely rationally

New Node.js codemod ✨ Migrate from Chalk to Node.js util styleText nodejs.org/en/blog/migr...

My new book, Fine Specimens, comes out next month! My publisher said I should make a video for the book’s Amazon page, so I figured I might as well post it here, too, esp. as it took about 17 takes. Please feel free to pre-order it from wherever you buy books! Some links: geni.us/FineSpecimens

We have a unique opportunity with npmx. We're building something very special together. I want to give myself the chance to focus on helping steward the project. I'm going to be working as an independent open source developer this year. Support my work and help me focus on npmx long-term 🙏

Possum

this very aptly applies to developer tools as well

TIL there's ongoing work to add a native virtual file system (VFS) to Node.js!! Yes please!!! 😱🤩 github.com/nodejs/node/... @nodeland.dev you are a hero!

This week on @shoptalkshow.com I do hard-cutting investigative journalism to figure out what exactly _IS_ @adactio.com's agenda?!? shoptalkshow.com/699/

Is anybody still using xml/HTML polyglots for anything moder (Syntax that is valid in both html and xml) Wondering whether those are something that needs to be considered for future HTML enhancement or a thing of the past...

it’s a good day to have a static site

I have been of the opinion for about five years now that we are all mostly clinging to the *idea* of social media. But that it has not existed, as we mean it, since Jack sold Twitter. The minute capital lined up to fold social media into its technocratic political consolidation, it stopped existing.

i have just gotten off a productive call with sauron where i laid out our requests - nazgul bodycams - morgul knife must remain sheathed unless suspect is determined to be carrying the one ring - shelob will be the new point of contact

The people of Minnesota have executed one of the most impressive civil resistance campaigns I can remember: - Organized a city wide general strike - Maintained nonviolent discipline amidst violence - Mobilized 10,000s in subzero temps to protest and watch ICE - Flipped public opinion against ICE

⚓️ New Article: You don't need permission

Hundreds of HTML elements, anchored to each other randomly, by using the CSS anchor positioning feature. Because, why not? A new kind of popup hell. This, and other fun experiments at patrickbrosset.com/articles/202...

There are some great people, @yanthomas.dev included, looking for their next adventure! Oh hey, and me included, too! I'm not in a rush, but keeping my eye out for the right opportunity in docs or community leadership. If you've liked using or contributing to Astro, maybe part of that came from me!

It’s -9 degrees. Downtown Minneapolis is packed for the anti-ICE rally and the crowd keeps growing

it’s friday I don’t know what we’re doing

“I’m glad most of my projects don’t need any backend beyond static file hosting, as that significantly limits attack surface and maintenance pressure.” 🏆 Having a web site shouldn’t require an ops team to monitor/update — static is a lovely alternative to complexity. amxmln.com/blog/2026/th...
