Attention furries, weebs, neckbeards, and other cringe enthusiasts of kubernetes: I've ordered more Uwubernetes stickers, and they should be here in time for FOSDEM.
This content type is full of IndieWeb post types, which are all content types which allow me to take greater ownership of my own data. These are likely unrelated to my blog posts. You can find a better breakdown by actual post kind below:

These should help make it easier to recover from common errors while authoring. https://kitten.small-web.org #Kitten #errorMessages #design #usability #authoring #SmallWeb #SmallTech #HTML #CSS #JavaScript #NodeJS #server #framework #platform #web #dev
There are about 4 labelers and none of them work 100% of the time. I'm subscribed to all 4 and STILL get pictures missing alt text. Not sure if there's something that stops labelers from catching this properly or what, but it's something the app should have natively for accessibility anyway
Bluesky would be 3 times better if there was an option to not show posts with media that lack alt text
Reusable, composable, single responsibility — these are all things good SaaS products have in common with UNIX command line tools.

DHH is a gigabrain fascist and everyone with any sense is long since tired of his shit. I hope the Rails community can wrestle it away from being that muppets fiefdom. https://ruby.social/@getajobmike/113868764027652350

Logged on after a purposeful day of not watching the news, logging off now after seeing the trash fire it was always gonna be. For the next 4 years, I'm going to try to focus on helping my local community and orgs. It's the best thing I can think to do in the face of... all of this.
Who made this 🤣

Very much agree, but also - I've spoken in the past about how I learned a tonne from overengineering my personal website and recommend others do too!

learned a LOT today
A PR of mine was accepted into go-wasm-http-server (https://github.com/nlepage/go-wasm-http-server) that makes it #TinyGo compatible! Now your Go webservers can be built into tiny WASM blobs and run in ServiceWorkers 🥳

I spent the 2017 US Presidential inauguration working in a small open plan office, where someone put it on the TV to then loudly talk about it. I’m very glad I work from home now, and can avoid it today.
When people like this talk about WFH damaging productivity, they’ve clearly not worked in an open office for a while https://www.theguardian.com/business/2025/jan/20/working-from-home-not-doing-proper-work-stuart-rose
Yeah @cadey has (rightfully) complained about this in the last week too
This is the only flag I’m flying today. For Janey. #Trumpisacunt Let’s make it trend.
My thoughts are with my American friends for today, and the next four years. Stay strong. 💪 💜

The EU should demand that American Big Tech sell their assets to European companies. They can’t be trusted to not manipulate the data for propaganda reasons. Not doing so is a national security risk. Am I doing this right?
if you see someone slacking at their Big Tech job, no you didn't

China having my data can’t be used in American courts Even with nothing to hide I’ve learned that data, motivation, and power can ruin lives
I had very few concerns using TikTok while it was owned by ByteDance I have a lot of concerns if it's owned in total or part by a US company

I would say that the US is moving into "the law doesn't matter, only the President's whim matters" territory faster than I expected, but this is about on schedule.

Human nature being what it is, it seems extremely likely that sometime today we will see millions of U.S.-based TikTok users installing some shady or "free" VPN software just to get around the ban. So even though we banned TikTok, ostensibly for security reasons, we end up creating an even bigger security problem when millions of people install some app that can read and modify all traffic.

Every few months or so, somebody asks on social media why a particular DVLA digital service is turned off over night. Rather than answering it every time, I’ve decided to write this post, so I can point people at it in future. It’s a great case study to show why making government services digitally native can be quite complicated.
Attached: 1 image Was reminded of this image again today: "I don't wear 🏳️🌈 [queer pride] items to tell you who's in my bed. I wear them so the family across the street knows they are safe. So the couple in the restaurant know they aren't alone. So the boy who sees me notice him looking at dresses knows I won't judge. I wear because you make them hide." Ever since seeing this, I have been wearing progressive pride buttons on each of my jackets and coats (and a cap). #queer #lgbtqia
