The Guardian have changed the headline for the *third time* today.
Lee Hurley@hleehurley.com · last yr.Holy shit, look what the Guardian did. They changed it "Transgender people must accept a perceived reduction in their rights after the supreme court decision on gender because they “have been lied to over many years” about what their rights actually were..>"
In order to eliminate any inconvenience to cars, we’ve made it illegal for children to be children

seeing this is just reminding me of how much i love Ed Mort
Ste Jormur@stejormur.bsky.social · 2y agoI'll never get over how the best line in all of noir – "I've got eight slugs in me. One's lead, and the rest are bourbon" – doesn't come from Raymond Chandler or Dashiell Hammett, but Calvin and Hobbes
i have never been more excited for something in my life
Dennis Frank@freshmango.bsky.social · last yr.Styling form controls will be SO MUCH easier in the (hopefully not so far) future. @ntim.bsky.social demonstrates examples from the CSS Form Control Styling Level 1 specification draft (www.w3.org/TR/css-forms...) #cssday
one day i’m going to fully blur the lines between “fun account” and “serious account” and start posting about nogizaka on here. i know myself. should just follow @ca.rter.io’s example and have no fear of going full wota under my full legal name.
my very small dog is very upset about not being fed today. he does not understand the concept of fasting before a medical exam.
the fact that there’s open source code with explicitly copyleft licenses being used to train AI coding tools used to write proprietary code for huge corporations hurts my heart some place deep 🫠
HELLGORITHM@hellgorithm.website · last yr.I am an AI/LLM skeptic who also believes "information wants to be free". So while I find the IP angle often deployed others on my side of the debate a bit frustrating, AI boosters taking claim of the information freedom mantle is *at least* as incoherent. You really think these companies are anti IP
In this Pride Month, let us remember that #FunctionalProgramming has the privilege and honour to share our beloved λ with the Lesbian community. Let's go Lesbians!
yikes…. extremely disappointed to see this on flyio
Andy Bell@bell.bz · last yr.You know it’s a grift because the hard sell isn’t working, so going after people on a personal level is the next move fly.io/blog/youre-a... If AI/LLMs were actually good, this sort of article would never show up. The URL of this “article” is a good tell, too.
someone should let the brazilian mail service know that create-react-app has been deprecated
for people not familiar with Os Saltimbancos, it’s the Brazilian version of the Italian musical I Musicanti; it’s based in the tale of the Bremen musicians, turned into a communist allegory. Chico Buarque sneaked it into Brazil during the very anti-communist military dictatorship. it’s amazing.
Sofia Simanke@smnk.me · last yr.i was like – is it botões or borbotões? why do i think it’s borbotões? is that even a word, what does it mean? i’ve finally identified the source of my confusion. the first time i ever heard this expression was in the children’s musical Os Saltimbancos, which takes poetic license to say “borbotões”
there’s a portuguese expression, “pensando com meus botões”, literally “thinking with my buttons”, for when you’re introspecting / pondering things on your own i never used it, bc every time i thought of using it, my brain wanted to say “borbotões” instead of “botões”, and made me very confused
thinking about WCAG Guideline 3.1 – Readable... in 3.1.3 Unusual Words, one of the sufficient techniques is "linking to definitions". would having a unusual term's definition appear on hover in a tooltip-style, rather than linking away to a definition, be "un-semantic"?
Back when I was finding my feet in tech everybody was buzzing about building positive change. Somewhere along the way, something changed. Fortunately for us though, tech is not the first industry forced to defend itself against dubious practices. What might we learn if we were to look elsewhere?
Looking elsewhere - Robb Owen
Against the backdrop of mass layoffs, LLMs, site-builders and vibe coding what does it mean to conscientiously build for the web, and where do we go from here?

time passes and things change, but I will always be a shill for ayumi hamasaki - LOVEppears (1999)
“it’s not that i was blinded by my loneliness; i just didn’t want to see anything anymore” – ayumi hamasaki, immature
dame@dame.is · last yr.what if we all went back to just posting angsty song lyrics as social media posts like we did when we were teenagers
my dream is for Brazil to move on from using WhatsApp as the default messaging app so i can leave it behind and never touch it again
having to do some heavy “spring cleaning” on figma files i worked on in a chaotic manner with different iterations all over the place is truly daunting. time to face my hubris.
