And now with Preact support! Will also add support for tsrx in pracht, my little preact framework in the making github.com/JoviDeCroock...

In Spanish there is a word called Ojalá which I believe is derived from inshallah.

Different cultures and their intersections are a cool thing!

I don't know the context, but you think I sit behind a computer because I have high self esteem!?

I think there's a dire need of good designers, UX people, copy editors, etc. beyond just devs to get this message across. People figured out how to use e-mail. There's a human element to technology that can't be ignored, don't let a lack of coding skills prevent you from contributing ideas.

Graphic with a teal gradient background featuring the Netlify logo at the top. Large centered text reads “Netlify Pro for $20 a month,” with smaller text underneath that says “Unlimited seats including Git contributors.”

We just removed seat-based pricing from Netlify.

Pro was $20 + $20 per seat. Now it's $20/month. Unlimited seats. 🧵

Screen size doesn't matter imho, tho it can help(e.g. sometimes I have trouble reading small font sizes, and I still want screen real estate with higher font size).

But more than anything, hunching over my laptop screen sometimes hurts my neck after a while.

An IEEE conference has published a plagiarised version of a paper I wrote with @seph.bsky.social. I already reported it to the conference chairs and the IEEE Ethics Reporting Line 3 months ago, and nothing happened.

You had me at local-first atmo!

I think I find that it's a hard problem, because unlike other parts of web development, learning to improve accessibility is a process where there is little agency. You have to meaningfully engage with communities.

A more anecdotal grievance: I see people burning tokens, paying subscriptions with the most just of justifications, but paying that for WCAG advice? Maybe later.

I want to give abit pushback here, while I agree with the vibes here, I don't think the feedback loop here is easy to solve. It's a place where social and tech meet, and the experiences of minorities are hard to automate away, which I assume is something backend/devops people like to do.

Reminds me of that time I learned about `role="presentation` for images only to shortly after(like 2 days?) discover that it's not entirely a strong recommend, because `alt=""` is better supported and assistive tech skips over it anyway.

if apps become easier to build + the data is open, then “app modalities” don’t matter much

communities do, and communities are the moat.

When private data comes on protocol, communities that are completely or partially illegible are where the action will be. And those builders will need support

I wrote a thing!

Dang, I was really banking on cascade layers to easily reason about cascading.

The perfect CSS stylesheet should be... - Visible as display:none; - Clear as filter:blur(50px); - Sharp as image-rendering:pixelated; - Always on top as z-index:-1; - Actionable as pointer-events:none; - Dynamic as animation-play-state:paused; - Fast as animation-delay:1000s; - Consistent as order:random(1,999); - Restrained as overflow:visible; - All-round as border-radius:0; - Straight as text-decoration-style:wavy; - Readable as background:currentColor; - Bold as font-weight:100; - Maintainable as !important.

Kill It with Fire Kill It with Fire chronicles the challenges of dealing with aging computer systems, along with sound modernization strategies.

This might not be in the same context as you're talking about, as I don't really know TLA+ like that. But a tip I learned through: nostarch.com/kill-it-fire is that you can "remove a part" of a system and try to observe what happens. I found that to be helpful at work as well.

I agree to a certain extent, but how I read this thread was that we're being "radical" about open models and open computing.

And putting/promoting open models alongside closed ones(assuming good intent) is great on it's own, but I wouldn't call it radical.

OxCaml Labs OxCaml Labs

This is a fairly wild post about OxCaml Labs from
@avsm
. It's hard to summarize the stuff they're doing, but, some examples:
- Some wild vibecoding
- A formal semantics for package managers
- A decade of docker containers (including OxCaml!?!)

I wouldn't call it an injustice, just a turnoff? I was curious about this and clicked around on mobile and it worked badly. So it all seemed like an attention-seeking low effort post afterwards.

I ended up agreeing with this take: bsky.app/profile/davi...

people just say things in youtube comments

'Wonder Man' has been officially renewed for S2 at Disney+ 📺

Card, but after I close the door behind, I'll be like "do I have my card on me?.

I saw people paying with their watch, I could never because I'd have no money left at the end of a month.

Another thing to add to the list of things I don't like but can't explain or reason why.
