@jensimmons@front-end.social I hadn’t considered local feed angle, but that does seem like an enticing bonus for media organizations and their readers. I really like that idea.

BREAKING: Trump has nominated Mainway Toys president Irwin Mainway to lead the Consumer Product Safety Commission.

@atpfm @caseyliss And I see they have a privacy option for a few bucks more, which might appeal to some people. Anyway, I highly recommend it. I'm sold on screen protectors now.
@siracusa@mastodon.social So far so good with Hyperspace!
Great timing on the release too since part of my weekend will be devoted to migrating to a new M4 MacBook Pro.

@rachelmetz@mstdn.social With the massive numbers of web folks and developers that have made the jump, it really feels like Twitter in 2007-2009 — the pre-Oprah days.

@TheGreenGreek@mastodon.social I won't give anybody a hard time for building something that works for their own use, but I was just thinking about how useless pagination navs are, and wondering why we all keep making them.
Why would I ever click on a numbered page, unless I'm 1) blindly trying to find something specific I'm certain is buried or 2) just exploring. It's actually *better* without the ellipsis because that just hides stuff.
If that's the use case, there's got to be a better way, right?
I made a thing: Generate your own Trump executive orders!
Can I mute The Horrors for a second to ask if anybody who follows me has done anything with #CSS scroll-driven animations (or earlier JS parallax tools)?
I'm working on something fun, and I mostly understand the tool, but I'm trying to decide on a particular method to deal with something tricky.
Is anybody I know on here looking for freelance/contract UX work and available through April or so?
Alternatively, can you recommend someone?
I'm trying to make a playlist of the absolute worst Christmas songs. Not overplayed — just plain bad. They can be bad versions of otherwise good or middling songs or bad songs by otherwise good artists. Anybody have any suggestions?

Anybody know of a good controller for retro games? I have these requirements:
- Bluetooth
- USB-C charging
- SNES button layout (and preferably similar shape)
- Not utter garbage build quality
- Very important: Can pass the Contra test
Last time I tried one, the 8BitDo SN30 Pro does terribly at the Contra test, but maybe something has changed.

@cdevroe@mastodon.social I've got their Ultimate bluetooth/2.4GHz controller, but it's definitely bigger than I'd prefer to travel with. It does work great for emulation and Switch, if you don't mind the modern form factor.
If I can't easily find anything else, I'll probably just get the SN30 Pro because it's actually amazing overall.
I also have their older SFC30, which like a 1:1 Super Famicom clone, but doesn't have USB-C or the necessary buttons for PS1/PS2 games. Otherwise I also love it.
Replying to
@cdevroe@mastodon.social Yeah, I want to play GameCube and N64, but it's really hard keeping the buttons straight.

@hagedose68@social.cologne Basically rocking back and forth while pressing down. If a controller doesn't handle it well, your guy will get up and move while ducking in Contra.
