Writing #HTML and #CSS is like meditation to me. I can do it for hours. It's beautiful.

I'm biased but, I think we should learn the language of the web in grade school. But maybe, with AI, it's a lost art; something we'll see on a tv show like a candle maker lol

porn games kicked out of itch, non-porn queer games brought down together as collateral, karada house deleted from instagram… the capitalist puritanism keeps accelerating as christofascism comes out of the closet… being overtly sexual and kinky was always a political act and is now more than ever, the fascists don't really want to eliminate sexualness or sex work, they want it hidden, marginalised, easily abusable outside of public life… it is by horny on main that we build safety and justice. horny on main is an insurrectionary act.

In addition to payment processing, our refusal to prohibit legal adult content makes it incredibly difficult for us to get certain types of insurance. (Like, more than one carrier has literally told us “we can’t write insurance for somebody falling and hurting themselves in your office because you won’t prohibit adult content on your servers.” Oh, fuck off!)

The fuck? That's utterly insane.

Meta did this? Mastodon gGmbH’s partner Meta at the Social Web Foundation?

But aren’t Mastodon gGmbH the good guys? I can’t see how they’d ever partner with Meta if this were true.

No, no, this must be fake news.

(Otherwise, what would it say about Mastodon gGmbH and the Social Web Foundation?)

Anyway, #Webflow kind of gets a bad wrap. But it is a world-class builder for serious front end developers.

No matter what I build, I write my HTML, CSS, and JS in Webflow. I couldn't imagine going back to writing HTML long-hand.

They have the best exporter, and the code is well optimized. Building in webflow is a great experience.

The problem is, Webflow the company kind of sucks. They are vampires.

#Webflow has been down for almost a full day. What's more frustrating is me realizing how much of my day is spent in Webflow. I literally have nothing to do right now lmao.

Posting about this again - I'm running a 5k this Sunday to help raise money for UNRWA counselors for children in Gaza.

In Gaza, children are living through conditions no child should ever experience.

Witnessing things no human should ever see.

Without mental health care, those images don't fade. They traumatize. They rewire growing brains. They steals futures.

It's not so much that Liquid Glass looks bad, which it does, but that without a doubt in my mind there were people in every department saying, look, maybe we shouldn't ship an OS where you can't read the text. And yet here we are anyway.

I know, the readability ship left the port a few versions ago -- my larger point: it's not the look that stings the most, but knowing that the expert people who understand and genuinely care about the human interaction problems have either already left or aren't being listened to.

Obviously this is an industry-wide plague, but it's most noticeable with Apple because, damn it, they used to be the best in the world at this and it's all so unnecessarily self-inflicted.

Woke up to find that a main gigabit feeder cable had failed. This took considerable time to diagnose. It took much longer to switch to a 100Mb backup circuit that I left in place when I installed the 1G, on the theory that it could indeed be a backup but would likely never be needed.

Now all these years later, bringing up that circuit had the feeling of the direct line between the two planets fighting a computer-directed "virtual war" in the original Star Trek episode "Taste of Armageddon". Yeah, there's a line, but it hasn't been used in centuries.

This fire escape stairwell, retrofitted onto the back of Georgetown's Healy Hall, reminded me a bit of a Piet Mondrian painting. Hard afternoon shadows added to the abstract view.

@hetzner Hey folks, having a bit of trouble reaching my server. The Hetzner control panel for it is stuck trying to set a new root password and everything is disabled so I can’t even shut the server down.

Opened a ticket yesterday but haven’t heard back yet. (Ticket #: 2025072803032261)

Would you be kind enough to look into it?

Thanks!
