@maxleibman @budududuroiu also, Cory Doctrow should really know better. He literally wrote the fucking book on enshittification.

@maxleibman @kitkat_blue @budududuroiu absolutely. I think frequently we get caught in a trap of thinking that because someone is right about one thing they are right about unrelated things, and the inverse.
This was dumb, but he can absolutely still be right elsewhere.
No heroes.
I'm participating in CSS Naked Day this year! (https://css-naked-day.org/)
I put a lot of time into making sure that my site was semantically polished and I'm happy with just how little I had to do for this to still have a usable website.
Check it out: https://natecox.dev/

@kitkat_blue @maxleibman @budududuroiu yeah, the older I get the more I feel that having heroes is a trap.
Everyone should still read that book, though. The LLM nonsense doesn't diminish how important the info the book covers is.

@maxleibman "Despite the takedowns elsewhere, she noted that YouTube had been supportive throughout the process and even reached out to her directly, expressing gratitude for the platform’s assistance and for the wave of public support she received."
Classic Google, create a dehumanizing system that consolidates power into the hands of abusers and ignores almost all cries for help but get real involved when visibility gets high enough.
Nooooooooo! I just got the shipping notice for my new #steamcontroller2 and it's coming #fedex!
All my friends got UPS and have delivery dates of tomorrow, now mine could be here any time from two weeks from now to October!
Roller coaster of emotions over here.
I'm ready for people to stop referring to system theming as "ricing" now.
#sony today as I try to log in to my PS5:
"We've updated our terms of service, please take a moment to read through the changes."
Then they link four separate documents, containing thousands of words which will take an hour or more to read through and years of legal schooling to actually understand.
"A moment."
Fuck you.

@alvaromontoro "array" there's a cluster in the top left where array can be made several times.

@alvaromontoro neat idea but I did hit a really frustrating snag where I entered a word that felt right and got the error "not same word" (wtf?). Then I found the same word in a different orientation and got "not a puzzle word".... And then found the same word a third time as this time it worked.
Hiya folks. If you happen to have a website that you built yourself, with your own ten fingers, without using any GenAI, maybe consider getting yourself added to the human-made webring. I'd love to see this thing filled to the brim with those bits and bobs of human expression that made me fall in love with the internet many (many) years ago.

@peach@phpc.social @derickr@phpc.social despite having been active on the internet since before they were a thing, I kinda missed out on webrings. Never really understood what they were lol.
I have a blog that I occasionally remember I should update. Also, I hate genAI. How does one webring?

@esther_alter yes.
Godaddy is like the DNS mafia. They should be shut down for market manipulation.
Fuck godaddy.
Replying to
@esther_alter @astraluma curious as to where you see a broker option.
The domain is indeed owned by godaddy and the registry was updated earlier this month, it’s plausible that you let the domain lapse without realizing it. godaddy is the scum of domain registrars, they watch domain lists so they can buy them immediately when they go up for registration again and then try to sell it back at wildly inflated rates.
My enthusiasm for using cloudflare workers on #rust is diminishing pretty rapidly.
The docs for workers-rs are frustratingly incomplete. Example: I want to use a durable object to store session data for a multi-user interface. workers-rs supports durable objects, seemed like they translated to structs very nicely, I was excited to get going with them.
Then I started, and man it has been a wild ride. After a few hours I still have no idea how workers-rs actually wants me to get and set data. I know that I can use the attached Storage to .get and .put attributes... but then what was the point of setting up the object as a Struct? Why can't I just use the stub request to hydrate that struct from the storage? It _feels_ like that's the intent but there doesn't seem to be a path to it... or is there?
Maybe it's time to give up rust for this and just write it with the native libraries.
Replying to
@esther_alter godaddy runs a service called “DNS broker”, which is explicitly for buying domains “already registered” (in this case, and probably most or all cases, owned by them). They want you to go there and ask to buy it back.
Well I finally got a chance to build a mobile responsive navigation for my site. Been putting it off because I had so few links that they fit fine on a header, but today I broke that by adding one too many links.
Been a while since I built something like this and I really didn't want to add any JS to my site, so I finally figured out the checkbox trick; pretty happy with it. Did my best to be #a11y friendly with it, hope I didn't miss the mark there.
I guess eventually may have to revise it to be full page with scrolling but for now I'm content to walk away from it.
I guess maybe tell me if you try it and it sucks lol.

@buckfiftyseven I've been non-standard for a while, tiling window managers are my jam since back in the i3 days. I'm thrilled to see it getting a bit more popular.
I do kinda bastardize niri by putting into "always full screen" mode because splitting on my 13 inch monitor isn't actually realistic, and it makes niri feel a lot like using i3 or sway in tabbed mode.

I'm pretty sure fudgsicles taste better at 11pm.
OK, I admit it; I was wrong. There is, in fact, one acceptable reason to have a CLAUDE.md or similar file in your project.
You ever feel like no matter what you do, you've already failed? Like no matter how much good will you build, it counts for nothing?

@ahasty @esther_alter grace period isn’t a constant across registrars, I’ve used one or two across the years that both wouldn’t send renewal emails and gave no grace period. I think name.com may only be five days.
name.com has also been accused of domain tasting before. Wouldn’t surprise me if they aren’t going out of their way to protect their customers.
Ok, well, maybe #niri _is_ good enough to replace sway for me.
