Big tech has convinced most people that they *have to* use their walled gardens and pay for their apps. But you don't. That's the beauty of the web, and it's very easy and cheap (free options too!) to have your own site/blog/whatever. Take advantage of offers like this.

Google changing the name of the Gulf of Mexico to Lake Dump Truck just means it isn't a trusted source of information anymore. Geography isn't named by the POTUS.

I really like this from @simonwillison.net "I realized that one of the best things about open source software is that you can solve a problem once and then you can slap an open source license on that solution and you will never have to solve that problem ever again"

It is the year 2025. I should not be landing on your conference website and seeing a line up of only men.

If you're a front-end dev, you need to be watching HTMX closely right now. htmx.org/essays/future/

This is *critically* important when our attention is the real commodity now, and the opposition has mastered getting attention and manufacturing outrage to divide and distract.

Today’s glimmer of hope brought to you by the creator of Watch Duty, LA’s nonprofit fire map that’s been such a lifeline for so many. More of this, please! www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/dig...

I was on the board of a nonprofit that received funding from MacKenzie Scott. Her no strings attached gift was game changing. More philanthropists need to adopt this model instead of capitalist brained ideas of efficiency that are ultimately counterproductive.

Where is the innovation and out-of-the-box thinking they keep crowing about, and why can't they use that to build ethical systems. Can't, or won't?

I’m going back to sublime text. The “AI” stuff is quite useful sometimes but I don’t want that shit all over my editor. VS Code is too annoying and noisy as it is

If you need to write half a dozen articles to outline your neato process for using JSON, npm packages, build scripts, and five other abstraction layers to just output some SCSS and CSS, then I don't think you understand CSS at all. All that needless complexity is crazy.

This seems like basic 101 stuff, but it's surprising how many devs don't know about this feature and others like it. And yes, Firefox has it too (also had it first, and does it better).
