what I don't understand is why a generation brought up to make their thoughts fit in 140 characters is sending me twelve-page emails now
Wonderful and thought provoking post by Lea (like normal), I highly recommend reading it.

Awesome post covering the value of focusgroup. Great to see something that was an idea years ago get some attention recently and then quickly get through standards.
Michaël Vanderheyden@th3s4mur41.me · 4w agoAdding proper arrow-key navigation to custom UI used to require tedious event handling. I’ve been experimenting with the new focusgroup API, and the simplicity is incredible. You get native, accessible UX out of the box while deleting custom JS.

@jensimmons.bsky.social in the 18.4 release info it says that CHIPS is supported but MDN is saying it was removed in 18.5 but I'm not seeing that in the release notes. Can you confirm if it is/isn't supported starting in 18.4+? webkit.org/blog/16574/w... developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/W...
Working on a possible game. Do I know any people that have experience in Unreal and/or 3D modelling?
That's the second face mask on a sack by the Hawks this year. It flips the play and momentum drastically.
The Hawks cannot get out of their own way. These types of plays make it almost impossible for them to get any type of rhythm going.
I have an idea for a game story. Does anyone I know happen to know someone in the industry or great examples to make sure I'm not sharing rubbish with game corps?
While this game between the 49ers and Bills is over it's so much fun to watch snow games.
Still can't believe the @seahawksofficial.com somehow pulled off that win. Glad they did and that the run game started looking better in the second half. Let's see if that can carry over.
I've had a VNS for my epilepsy close to a year now, ask me anything. On a serious note, key drawback is that my voice still gets strained after continuous talking. That said, it's been close to 2 years since I've had a seizure so I'll take it :)
This is me right now on this app. I like it but also feel like a fish or of water some much of my community is not here
SwiftOnSecurity@swiftonsecurity.com · 3y agoIncreasingly posting stuff to Bluesky/Mastodon instead or matching. Problem for me is lots of my stuff is in context of Twitter discussions, or I feel like Mastodon vibes would kill it. Maybe I'll just try more and see how it works out and draw down. Leaving totally, I don't feel a new home yet.
I love this framing from a the company's mission perspective. It's not about Elon
Jay 🦋@jay.bsky.team · 3y agoi don’t want to just be the nicer alternative to elon — i want this to be a paradigm shift where i was influential in kicking it off, but overall it is about the town square of public social becoming more self-organizing and open to innovation
Dealing with Purchase Orders is by far the thing I can't stand doing in corporate than anything else. Even more than submitting expenses.
This is terrible and shouldn't be allowed

Best app for cross posting to Twitter and bluesky? Go.
It'd be cool if bluesky had a follow my Twitter followers if they're on bluesky feature.
