Shopify, Stripe, Dell Technologies, Block, Cloudflare, Dropbox, Coinbase, OpenClaw, and TapTap. All companies that have given millions of dollars to a project run by a far-right white nationalist. Why are we okay with this? brennan.day/normalized-f...

Normalized Fascism in Open Source: $12 Million Given to DHH

Open source has become a safe harbor for far-right politics, from David Heinemeier Hansson's white-nationalist rhetoric and the Omarchy Foundation's $12 million in patron funding to so-called…

Introducing 🤯 flex-wrap: balance 🤯 Would you use this? ⚠️ Not a real feature yet, just something one of our engineers has been working on. (You can try it out in the latest Chrome Canary with the experimental web platform features flag though!)

0.000% of Communism has been built. Evil child-murdering billionaires still rule the world with a shit-eating grin. All he has managed to do is make himself *sad*. He is starting to suspect Kras Mazov *fucked him over* personally with his socio-economic theory.

Generally we think of alt-text as the domain of those with accessibility needs. However alt-text is useful for many reasons, which benefit your viewers, as well as you, the creator!

An infographic. There are six panels. 1. "Slow internet. Alt text is shown in place of unloaded images." a drawing shows a phone with poor signal, and alt text is visible where the image should have loaded. 2. "Findabillity. Alt text helps to search content." A drawing shows someone searching 'dog with banana' and a post is shown underneath without the words 'dog' or 'banana'. It is implied to be part of the alt text. 3. "Screen readers. Alt is read out to people using text-to-speech software". There is a drawing of the output a screen-reader would show when viewing an image with alt text on bluesky. 4. "Translation. Alt text can be translated". A drawing shows a post being translated. The alt text is also translated into german. 5. "Readability. Text in images can be made legible" There is a drawing of some truly awful handwriting inside a speech bubble. The alt text clarifies what the text is supposed to say. 6. "Disambiguation. Description helps clarify intent." There is a drawing of a post with a picture of a creature. This is styled after the famous optical illusion of a rabbit and a duck. The alt text clarifies that the animal is a rabbit. It definitely looks more like a duck.

MAGA is going to chase you over here. They'll chase you where ever you go on social media. They can't survive without making you miserable. Why do you think Truth social failed? They need conflict. Don't give it to them and don't engage. Bluesky has amazing block functions. Block them into the void.

The slow trickle of MAGA folks over here underscores how much their experience of online is entirely dependent on people getting mad at them. It also underscores how even they, given the option, would rather not hang out with themselves either.

“you have to go on the nazi site to engage with The People and understand them” no you don’t! any politics worth its salt is going to happen in the real world! you don’t have to subject yourself to constant bullshit if you just want to hang out online

He said Bluesky was “making all the same mistakes as Twitter” i.e. not letting people be fucking monsters and giving users the ability to protect themselves from toxic people.

Erin Biba@erinbiba.bsky.social · 2y ago

Folks Jack Dorsey has zero to do with Bluesky. Early on he was spouting his usual bullshit about unmoderated platforms and the users chased him off the site. (He doesn’t believe in moderation but can’t handle getting yelled at.) Not long after that he quit the board and washed his hands of the site.

Suing Cynthia’s Garchomp@thebestatty.blacksky.app · 2y ago

Jack did NOT create this app. Want to be sure to clear up the misinformation I had and that others are spreading. He was on the initial board but parted ways in 2021 & this app was no longer associated with Twitter post-Jack selling to that dipshit.

I hear y'all dislike X, so please allow me to pile on: X or x is a lazy close button. Use × or &times; for a perfectly angled close button. Make sure to add a label for accessibility: <button aria-label="Close Account Info Modal Box">×</button> 11 years ago: wesbos.com/times-html-e...

use × HTML entity for close buttons rather than the letter X for a perfectly angled ×

I posted this simple tip to twitter and it was instantly popular with developers from all around the world. It's a small improvement that…

From now on, we'll use our @bsky.app account as our main feed for Vitest updates. vitest.dev and GitHub have been updated; you won't find any X links there. Let's do Open Source in an Open Source social network 🦋

Vitest posts to X that is going to be mainly active in bluesky from now on. And that the community should join here for updates.
