"You earned the Chrome DevTools User badge for the Google Developer Program! Create a profile to claim your badge."

first of all, what the actual frak??
secondly, I see the next stage of enshittifying Chrome is centered around the Developer Tools, good to know 🤮

thirdly, the cherry on top detail is there is no "Turn this notification off" action, just "Remind me later" and "Create profile" 🫠

It's common knowledge the fedi is full of geeks who love their Linux, but that's only one facet of the fedi.

It's also full of:

Lovers of mushrooms & insects

Musicians & fans who know all the deepest cuts of the music

People who love linking music to a theme, no matter how abstract

Artists, craftspeople, photographers

Lovers of random facts

Sharers of whatever is in their garden, park or green space

Furries & their conventions

Shares of photos of windows, doors, sea, flowers

Mini painters & table top role players

Board game players

The list goes on, if you want it, it's here, or you can create it ;)

¡Viva the fediverse!

A brief reminder that if my unapologetic misuse of Mastodon is ruining your experience here, you can just block my account and it will be as if I don’t exist.

In fact, you can also do this with any account that you don’t want to hear from.

Of course, every time you hit the block button an adorable puppy selected at random somewhere on earth is horribly murdered. I don’t understand why it does that, but it’s how it works.

@davidgerard Seems like a sizable flow of 50-something senior-ish programmers are choosing to nope out too, more than really ought to given everything else.

I suspect the industry's in for a Time at some point. *Especially* as people reach for AI to get stuff done they don't quite understand and don't have the time to figure out.

Windows 7 traffic on my site has dramatically increased over the past 3 months. This was widely reported in the news, and frequently attributed as a statscounter glitch. But I don't use statscounter, and my Windows 7 traffic is still increasing.

No, Windows 7 isn't resurging.

Over 90% of my Windows 7 "visitors" are Chrome users in Singapore with no referrer and 1280x1200 displays. These users *do* execute JS, but do not engage with the page. They appear to visit pages at random.

This is very good, and reads exactly like the "Warren was right" post that most lefty outlets should be posting; it's just missing the call for an apology from corpo Dems to the Warrenists and a focus on money in politics:

HTML is one of the more difficult languages, while JS is probably one of the easiest.

HTML has both a low barrier to entry and a surprising amount of depth. it's almost deceptively simple on the surface. but to make best use of HTML, you have to* understand how it translates to DOM and the accessibility tree.

*well, you don't _have_ to, but it certainly helps if it's your profession. so many web developers get by without ever learning the difference between attributes and properties.
