Gecko: Intent to Prototype: CSS at-rule() function for @supports

Firefox now supports the progress() CSS function. This is a math function that can be used in calculations to compute the position of a value relative to a start and an end. bugzilla.mozilla.org/2047345

Firefox 154 arrives pretty soon and I genuinely can't contain my excitement 😇 text-box-trim was the first "big" feature I wanted to contribute but it felt like it was a bit beyond my reach. So I started on some other layout work, and took a detour to work on sibling-index() and sibling-count() ...

Firefox now supports the text-box-trim and text-box-edge CSS properties, and the associated text-box shorthand. These properties allow you to control the leading space above and below text, enabling simpler and consistent vertical spacing and alignment. bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi...

Said something interesting to a friend today when they asked about different open social web protocols. It might be a little bit controversial, but: I think that ActivityPub is decentralized in principle, whereas AT Protocol is decentralized in practice. 🧵

This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days. ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.

they really told us their tech was so good it registered three strands of hair and days later the ball smashes into a metal cable and nothing happens. alright. ok.

At block parties, backyards and beer halls, an expanded tournament gave immigrant diasporas large and small the chance to revel in support of their home countries.

It's so nice seeing the excitement around this! I've had a lot of fun building this, took a little longer than I expected but I learned a ton. Looking forward to launching for everyone in Firefox 154. 😀

`sibling-index()` and `sibling-count()` are currently being prototyped in Firefox¹, hopefully available soon for testing :) #cssday ¹ groups.google.com/a/mozilla.or...

I'm so tired of being expected to read things that no one has bothered to write.

AI is trying to take everything from me, my job, em dashes, now "shape" ☹️

Is it just me, or do LLMs seem to love the word "shape"? "Shape of the problem." "Shape of the solution." Program architecture and data flow? "Code shape." Bug report structure? "Issue shape." One of those "once you see it, you can't unsee it" sort of shapes in life, I shappose.

I'm building on atproto because I think that a single social network has essentially no shot of dethroning the current tech monopolies. But an open ecosystem of interoperating apps is so infinitely more interesting than legacy social that it seems almost inevitable it will win

Can everyone building on atproto please answer this question? 😇
