Remember sites like #textsfromlastnight? The type of aggregator sites that flourished on the web before everyone moved to Facebook Pages?

Where did all the websites go? That's the question one Twitter user asked this thanksgiving, and the post went viral. I haven't stopped thinking about it. #SmallWeb #indieweb

I wrote about this question, some potential answers, and maybe one solution. Not *the* solution. But one of many.

@slightlyoff we've been mostly hiring generic web devs and think they can learn web components fast enough. You do need people who know their web standards and maybe that's what the react folks are saying is harder to find.. and whose fault would that be

Ok, this update on mobile and desktop networks and devices for 2024 (part of a series[1]) is getting out of hand, and it might naturally be split up a couple of ways. How many posts would you rather see:

Blogging platforms - From @fromjason
With creators and consumers fleeing Substack, Twitter and other platforms and looking for greener pastures, this list includes a good deal of simple, free and more full-featured blogging options out there.

(I'd make one addition: Wordpress.com to the list it's what I'm using for my own blog)

It is essential to stop using Chrome.

Under the pretense of saving users from third-party spyware, Google is creating an ecosystem in which Chrome itself is the spyware.

Given Google's overwhelming presence in the browser market, this is unconscionable.

We should all despise the ad-tech business, and have no sympathy for the companies getting whacked by Google's actions. But we should not permit one monopolist to replace them all.

Also, who did I offend in the W3 email lists? I know yall don't particularly love the #EEE word thrown around. I can imagine a two thousand word post on #Meta must not have been met with some frustration.

Just want to say I love W3C. Your tutorials taught me to code ❤️

You know what's *actually* the craziest part about being gender non-conforming?

When you realize you can just be whoever you want, whenever you want.

If I get tired of being a girl in 10 years or whenever, I can just stop being a girl.

Yeah, I'll have a vagina and stuff but like, I could just throw on some mens jeans, a men's tee, a baseball cap, and stop shaving. I wouldn't have a beard or anything anymore and maybe people would still gender me as female, but like, 🤷‍♀️

Gender is personal on an intimate level, but also meaningless on a societal level.

I spent 30+ years looking like a guy. I've always been a girl but people thought I was a guy bc of how I dressed mostly.

But now I dress like a girl and take some hormones and people think I'm a girl.

Gender is dumb.

Be trans.
Do crime.
