@EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu @_elena@mastodon.social after reading about this I just opened a Eurosky "MU" account instead. Will stay on Mastodon but may migrate my BlueSky account to MU: https://mu.social/profile/daveeveritt.eurosky.social Update: I opened a MU account *before* migrating my BlueSky to EuroSky and now get this when trying to migrate… have opened a support request.

@_elena@mastodon.social The line for me is between "free speech" and deliberately divisive "hate speech". The former we tolerate, even if we disagree, the latter should be subjected to the law or - where that fails - deliberate action to call it out and limit its spread. Especially when it's from sources already known to have committed crimes.

@the_wub@mastodon.social @EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu @_elena@mastodon.social understood. I have no interest (or contacts) on WSocial, but will persist in trying to migrate from BSky to EuroSky and bring friends over to MU on euro

@the_wub@mastodon.social @EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu @_elena@mastodon.social I've been posting to both BSky and MastD using OpenVibe, but much prefer the Mastdodon experience and UI. Will add euroSky to it once migrated.

@Aaron@front-end.social totally in agreement re better than "faux-js-select" :-)

@cstross@wandering.shop this organisation is behind the "Make It Fair" campaign: https://www.creativerightsinai.co.uk

@RosannaSibora having tried to persuade university staff towards plain text/markdown source material to generate PDF, web-based presentations, etc. and encourage them away from (mainly) Word and Powerpoint defaults, that lock-in is very hard to break, but a few took on. I even had the research paid for by the university! One issue was the "need" to spend budgets, and the MS hardware hegemony and an OS that spends a lot of time locking you in to all its other "default" software.

@denis lol brilliant!

@sunguramy@flipping.rocks that

@Aaron@front-end.social when I used to teach this stuff, I had two rules:

1. Is it accessible (AIM)?
2. Is it supported in all major browsers today?

The rest is experimentation at best and CCS complication at worst.

@jensimmons@front-end.social I'm still not completely clear how (not why) unitless line-height works better than using "lh"? Or whether it's best to pin everything to multiples of a line-height defined to fit a grid?

At the first update that proudly announced new emojis I felt a pang of shame. OS X is supposed to be the choice of developers. They really need to hold on to that, and get out there with the "whatever you can do with *nix you can do on OS X". Make the future on it. Etc. Not keep pandering to adult children with brightly-coloured baubles.

@the_wub@mastodon.social @EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu @_elena@mastodon.social - but not Mastodon, right?
