I put the cry out to mastodon again: Are you an #artist who wants to draw werewolf redneck bootleggers looking smug in their arrest photos. For money. For a card game.

for newish followers, for some reason, i got on some mormon missionary's mailing list documenting their time becoming a missionary a few years ago. no idea.

anyway last year their name changed to a feminine one and they stopped talking about brothers and starting talking about sisters.

We're running a big fundraiser for @osnews, in honour of my 21 year tenure and 20000th post! Since my wife can barely work due to health issues (caused by her work, ugh), my family has to rely on my income much more heavily. And that means OSNews donations.

We've also got a bunch of fun incentives!

RE: https://mastodon.social/@owa/116594212573569895

The success of choice screens casts the EU's larger failure to legalize quality browsers in sharp relief: by failing to remove the obvious legal and technical hurdles every browser maker says are keeping Blink and Gecko unavailable, the EC guarantees there can be no true iOS browser competition.

This matters because browser choice is, in fact, substantially the ballgame when it comes to opening up mobile computing:

this week I learned that if a computer program runs on a CPU, it is called a “computer program”. however if a computer program runs on a GPU it is called a “shader”. but! if, instead, a computer program runs on a GPU, it is called a “kernel”

I used to think I was… kind of antisocial. Not by choice, really — maybe just a mix of introversion and shyness.

I’m grateful to omg.lol and @neatnik for the chance to be part of this community.

I feel good here now. 😊

#OtD 19 May 1933 Germany's Nazi government abolished collective bargaining – the principle of workers collectively negotiating with employers over pay and conditions.

I'd like to remind anyone calling for a new Nürnberg Tribunal that the original one was only necessary because Germans didn't respond appropriately to the evil shit Nazis were doing, when they were doing it. The tribunals essentially asserted that the German people would have been justified in using any force necessary to stop the Nazis, and that all who didn't try to use such force were complicit.

Sit with that for a bit and ponder the implications.

I'm looking for my next role! I love working on the front of the front end, using component libraries and design systems. CSS makes me swoon, especially when paired with glorious, semantic, and accessible HTML.

Static site generators like 11ty are my jam, and I've worked with WordPress and Craft (with some Drupal long ago). My comments are often longer than my code because great documentation = awesome collaboration.

I've also been a web director, but now I'm focusing on senior+ dev or engineering manager positions. Send me a note and let's talk about it!

The UK data watchdog is all bark, no bite.

From failing to investigate complaints to forgoing regulatory action in favour of a slap on the wrist, the ICO isn't doing its job.

It's time that the regulator is overhauled, because data protection laws only work if they're enforced.
