Dear Mastodon,
If you could stop suggesting that I change my carefully chosen camel case hashtags to all lowers, that would sure be swell.

Finished @viscousplatypus’s “The Accessibility Operations Guidebook” this morning. Probably a good idea to read if you do digital accessibility and want to scale up your impact. I recommend.
This quote from a former independent consultant who has become an employee really lands.

WeasyPrint because holy shit they wrote a browser in Python! It beats major browsers at CSS fragmentation and paged media. And with much better (far from perfect) PDF accessibility.
The browsers I use 99% of the time are not my favorites.

A hidden catch of the new fancy EuroCity direct service between Brussels and Amsterdam: Since the train does not stop in Breda anymore, subscription holders with 100% discount on Dutch railways still have to pay for the journey from Rotterdam to the border.
Therefore the basic ticket price for such subscription holders went up almost twofold - from € 10,50 to € 20.
And of course, due to limitations of the NS international journey planner, you cannot force it to use the slower EuroCity service.

One of the things I love about Montreal’s alleys is people make an effort with even the barest of them.
Shopify CEO Tobi Lutke is calling for the end of Canada’s public postal service because its workers have gone on strike.
The company’s leaders are increasingly pushing extreme right-wing positions in Canada. Gutting Canada Post would effectively end delivery in many rural and remote communities because it’s not profitable for private companies to serve them.

The White Stripes: Fell In Love With A Girl
Včera parafráze na Gondryho, tak teď Gondry sám a jeden z jeho nejslavnějších kousků. A samozřejmě je to nabušenej love song, minuta padesát, jízda. Vtipný je, že Jack White chtěl po Legu, jestli by nebylo možné ke každému CD přidat LEGO figurky jeho a Meg a oni ho odmítli, že "We don't market our product to people over the age of twelve." Tak to by dnes asi dopadlo jinak 😜

I think best ActivityPub : BlueSky analogy is X11 : SurfaceFlinger. The latter two have in common:
* Funded, capable product and engineering effort
* Open source bug no RMS vibes
* Many more users
The former two have:
* Some users who choose it on principle
* Fragmentation in the layers above
* Whining from the hangers-on
But fundamentally they solve overlapping but not identical problems. That's a fine thing.
Enjoy writing those modelines!

The commentary I've seen about Bsky not being decentralized has been pretty “good faith” imo. It often comes with technical discussion around what they have now and what the tech allows for. The problem is though people aren't going there because of the promise of decentralization. It's all the other features.
To your second point. What can we "do about it". Support fediverse builders ($$), stay non-toxic, continue to live and promote Fedi as a home for whoever needs to come here next.
@thibaultamartin somewhat, yeah. I've got some experience with both, but I'm wondering if there's anything cooler.
One thing I'm looking for is something easily styleable, and a decent ecosystem of pre-built components. Also Typescript support is a must
if you’re primarily hosting dynamic content, I would use a SSG.
- vanilla html/css if you don’t have many pages
- @astro if you want a really snappy website. It also has an interesting content layer to fetch content at build time. That’s what I use for ergaster.org
- zola if you’re looking for stability (you don’t need to update deps every other day). That’s what we use for matrix.org
Happy to expand if you want me to :)

Childhood mortality -- death before age 15 or so -- used to run at about 50%.
Every second child born, died before becoming an adult, all over the world, for as far back as we've been able to track.
We didn't turn the corner until about 1900, when science got us the germ theory. That sparked sanitation and vaccination.
A cabinet nominee (RFK Jr) who questions vaccines is frightening. A nominee who brags about not washing his hands (Hegseth) is terrifying.
"Four typhoons have been detected in the Pacific Ocean at the same time, making it the first time such a phenomenon has occurred in the month of November since observations began in 1951.
In total, at least 160 people have already been killed while 9 million have been displaced from multiple storms. "

This is an embeded video on a random page.
Yeah, I use #firefox containers, and everything google related is opening in one specific container to limit their spying on me. I opened the page in different container, thus I am not signed in.
Well ok, give me the link to the youtube video and I will watch it there? In the right container?
