I will never get over the paradox that the tech industry works so hard to only hire people who fit very narrow archetypes when almost all of the best people I’ve worked with are the ones who managed to sneak past those filters.

Co-founder of Twitter joins new Mastodon board of directors. Right, so federating with Threads wasn’t a mistake. This is just the direction Mastodon is going. Oh, well. Another Mozilla emerges.

Alright, real talk: I have @code's minimap disabled because it only looks fancy. But the new ability to set marks might make me reconsider.

`// MARK:` and `//#​region` should work in the newest version.

Attachments:

• VSCode showing bold marks in the minimap that are defined via code comments. (remote)

I enjoyed this track from Grapefruit Astronauts. It's the best soundtrack for a recipe I've ever heard. "Ramen62"

In the last five years we've seen a remarkable rise in class consciousness and a sophisticated understanding of the systems of marginalized oppression.

But the credible threats flaunted by those who dictate our digital lives, have gone largely unchecked by the greater Internet community. This isn't a matter of apathy, or a lack of intelligence, but rather the result of a small knowledge gap those who are tech-adjacent must work to fill.

There is a class of venture capitalists, project managers, and notable developers who have ignored the secessionists, eugenicists, white supremacists, and otherwise Effective Altruists who've invaded their luxury hotel conference rooms unopposed.

It's going to take more than the tech-savvy to start calling them out and exposing them.

It will take prominent non-tech voices. We should be courting those voices in our writings.

sometimes its interesting to go into best buy to see what computers “normal” people are buying.

making a slick Svelte app is fun and all on my M1 Pro but how much do i need to optimize my stuff for the majority of people using whatever $500 gets you from HP.

we, as product makers, get swept up in the latest, shiniest thing & set our assumptions accordingly.

“Well everyone’s at least on an M1 right” my brother in christ my mom just bought a Lenovo yesterday and it has a Celeron + 4GB memory

#CSS `paint-order`

https://nerdy.dev/css-paint-order

Attachments:

• 2 examples shown with the text "Super CSS World". The first has no paint-order, and the stroke effect on the text overlaps the other strokes, in some cases making crowded grids that ruin the text legibility. The 2nd example has paint-order, and all the strokes are perfectly only outlined in the example, like we'd expect and creates a nice effect. (remote)
