Just published the first step of enabling web bookmarking for @serial.tube , and it’s really nice to give people the option of convenience vs control at every level and without boxing them out of “real” features It feels very complimentary to the data ownership ideals from AT Proto in a lot of ways

This is not exclusive to the hosted version either – send bookmarks to both the primary instance or to self-hosted instances with the exact same extension:

If you look really hard at this you’ll see my contribution of bad saxophones and metal chairs making music (and you should anyways because everyone involved is very cool)

Four Recursers built an arcade cabinet that you can ship games to by pushing to GitHub. It has a real CRT with a custom display adapter, and over 50 new games made by the RC community. Watch the full talk on how the RCade was built from the hardware up: www.youtube.com/watch?v=W-Op...

Serial@serial.tube · 2mo ago

View sections are a new way of organizing content in Serial, designed to better enable you to organize content the way you want – this is often from "most read" to "least read" feeds, but it can be anything you want. Check out the release notes for more: serial.tube/releases/202...

Took the slightly terrifying step of adding a paid hosting option for my open source RSS reader today – if having a better home for your blogs and YouTube videos appeals to you, take a look (or, go host it for yourself)!

New Serial release today! Lots of performance improvements and an update on the app funding model: serial.tube/releases/202...

I wrote about making a website for my sister and finding a good set of tools for building sites for friends and family (in a sea of under or over-complicated ones) www.henryfellerhoff.com/blog/matchin...

Matching your tools to the problem

I built an art website for my sister using PagesCMS, Astro, and Coolify, and it’s the best combination of tech I’ve found to empower her to update her own site while maintaining good DX for the develo...

Halfway through the Recurse Center

The last six weeks have gone by in a flash - here's what I've been working on!

I've had a handful of friends and family interested in having a place to put writing on the internet lately, so here's my list of recommendations I would give to them: www.henryfellerhoff.com/blog/so-you-...

A new chapter at the Recurse Center

I just left my job of roughly 3 1/2 years last Friday to go be a massive nerd at the Recurse Center (a self-directed programming retreat in downtown Brooklyn) and I could not be more excited about it.

This week's article! It's about our current uh... issues regarding moderation on this site, and aims to explain why this *keeps* happening in the tech industry:

Another article from @iris-meredith.bsky.social, another reading session where I'm constantly nodding my head yes the whole time (go check it out)

Iris Meredith@iris-meredith.bsky.social · 11mo ago

A new article! And it's written in plain language, not explicitly political and probably safe to share with your boss, even

God bless whoever put up this pro-upzoning poster in Edgewater, please put up more

This @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social video is absolutely INCREDIBLE. The numbers he cites, the strategy and results they produced — it’s the future. When have you heard *any* campaign talk about this, ever? (Video split in 2 to fit in Bluesky’s limits)

This is a concentration camp

The US is becoming to akin to apartheid-era South Africa, where racialized groups needed a "passbook" to travel from one part of the country to the other. Who brings a passsport with them when they are traveling domestically?

Oh wow. Lanes on I-10 narrowed suddenly, forcing ALL drivers to exit at a weigh station. A makeshift checkpoint—digital sign read: “Have Passport Ready” 1 of like 12 ICE agents, all standing around—in full military gear—ordered me to open my window: “You a U.S. citizen?” “Uh yes” then let me go..

This is a budget for a declaration of total war on the population. It's the building of an army of blackshirts and the creation of a massive system of concentration camps. A crystallization of everything lurking below the surface of the American project.

If the GOP reconciliation bill passes, ICE gets through FY2029: - $45 billion for detention, on top of the current annual budget of $3.4 billion - $14.4 billion for transportation and removal, on top of the current annual budget of $750 million - $8 billion for hiring/retention - Billions more.

Lander: "It's just gross, racist bigotry. Meanwhile he's running an optimistic, upbeat campaign for a NY where everybody belongs, and I feel proud as the highest-ranking Jewish elected official in NYC to be supporting somebody who would be the first Muslim mayor—what could be more NYC than that?"

Voters: can you pay 50 cents more in taxes to pay for vegetables for children and agree not to defraud the elderly on their electrical bills Wall Street Guy: OH LIKE THE KILLING FIELDS?!?! LIKE THE KHMER ROUGE?!?!

WATCH: “What about the rich? Do they get shot? It’s like they’re making Wall Streeters walk out onto the ice in the East River… class warfare… eat the rich.” @cnbc.com hosts Joe Kernen & jim cramer hilariously struggle to process Zohran’s win — made inevitable by the greed they exalt.

I pitched the NYT on this and they passed cause "all democrats are good with LGBTQ people"

Eliel Cruz@elielcruz.com · last yr.

Zohran Mamdani is the only democrat in the mayoral race that released an LGBTQ platform and the only democrat in the country (that I know of) to commit to safeguarding gender affirming care for youth + adults with $$.

In the words of Nelson Mandela: it always seems impossible until it’s done. My friends, it is done. And you are the ones who did it. I am honored to be your Democratic nominee for the Mayor of New York City.

Zohran at the rally for trans youth on february 8 ❣️ he was polling single digits.

Just tuned in to hear @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social use his victory speech to recite my favorite FDR quote of all. Truly epic. rollingstone.com/politics/pol...
