Has anyone here done any work on CSS parsers?

I am thinking of using github.com/keithamus/csslex as a base and going from there to learn more about CSS internals, but I admit I am Afraid of Doing Code Crimes and would like encouragment ha ha

To pull a Bezos: to sell oneself out to someone only to be kicked in the teeth by them.

Couldn’t have happened to a smarter person. Like literally, almost anyone paying attention with a modicum of intelligence would have known acquiescence would earn them nothing but scorn.

Stone-built Snake Bridge on the Macclesfield Canal in England.

The ‘Snake Bridge’ or 'Roving Bridge' is a bridge over a canal constructed to allow a horse towing a boat to cross the canal when the towpath changes sides, without having to be unhitched from the boat.

Twitch are updating their rules & decided that LGBTQ+ is a "Sensitive social issue" & needs to be hidden behind a content warning.

Obviously this is bad for LGBTQ+ streamers & a slippery slope, so please if you're a twitch user, vote on this feedback petition:

There's a lot more I could have written about this but... look we've all seen this a million times before, we know how it works, how bad actors abuse it to mass report and bully and where it all goes.

Hey folks, thanks to @bagder and @kees , I managed to compute the "Source code age" from the GLPI project, which I'm working on, and it's really fun because we can see a lot of nice information on it!

To sum it up: the code is very dynamic, and compared to Curl (which you can see here: mastodon.social/@bagder/113399… ) , we can definitely see that it doesn't endorse backwards compatibility: there are a lot of refactorings of big parts of the codebase! 🎉

(I'm running this on Symfony too, stay tuned)

Thirty six years almost to the day after the release of the Morris Worm, OKTA announces they've just patched a bug where you can just log in with no password if your username is too long.

Could we please, before the Morris Worm turns forty years old, make a habit of, god help us all maybe even a standard practice of, sanitizing our inputs.

Die #Musik von #Silentlive hörte ich vor einigen Jahren in einem kleinen #Café in #Wałbrzych - ich versuchte der Kellnerin verständlich zu machen, dass ich die CD gern einfach sofort kaufen würde. Nach einigem hin und her verkaufte sie mir ihr eigenes Exemplar. Eine schöne Erinnerung.

I had a talk called "Unbreakable Linux for Entire Family" today. It had nothing to do with Oracle #Linux, it was about concepts and approaches around #Fedora #Silverblue to make a truly free ChromeOS-like system for friends and family.
I was happy to have a full room of people. It's good to see #OpenAlt bouncing back in terms of attendance.

The recording of the talk (in Czech) is already available online:

For many years I've believed that Facebook and Instagram were secretly downloading phone photos in the background. Because when you go to post a photo, it gets sent far too quickly to have done a download at the same time.

Yesterday I found this video from an Instagram founder, and damned if I wasn't right.

It doesn't appear to be all photos, just the most recent one (ones?). It's not clear from the video if it happens when you launch the app, or when you hit compose. They're doing it on the assumption you're about to post some recent photos. They claim it's okay because if you don't post it, they delete it.

That's classic Meta self-serving bullshit. The "Yeah, it's wrong, but it's okay because we're Meta and we're smart" excuse they always use.

It is not okay to upload my photos without my explicit consent. It's not okay to chew up my bandwidth when I may be deliberately trying to keep it low. IANL, but that first, frankly, sounds like class action material.

It doesn't matter that they claim to delete it. They just introduced a privacy risk. That could have been a nude of my spouse. That could have been a photo of my kid I was sending to my doctor. That could have been a photo of a contract I'm not allowed to share. All to save a few seconds they can brag about.

When Apple allowed you to selectively make photos available to app, I turned the feature on for Meta apps. This makes posting photos a pain, because Meta doesn't uses Apple's UI for choosing which photos they can see and selecting them at the same time. It's a multistep process and it isn't obvious how to do it. Ironically, it means that I rarely post to Instagram anymore. A fact that just reinforces my belief that Meta really wants full photo access and deliberately isn't fixing the issue.
