This is so cool. Soon with randomisation coming to CSS you'd be able to have new starting positions too??

It seems we can now customize the select element, right? right?!

This is true but then you'd need more meetings, more processes and dare I say it actual managers on OSS projects. That's quite a daunting prospect...

IF YOU'RE UNEMPLOYED IT'S NOT BECAUSE THERE ISNT ANY WORK 
JUST LOOK AROUND: A HOUSING SHORTAGE, CRIME, POLLUTION; WE NEED BETTER SCHOOLS AND PARKS.
WHATEVER OUR NEEDS, THEY ALL REQUIRE WORK.
AND AS LONG AS WE HAVE UNSATISFIED NEEDS, THERE'S WORK TO BE DONE.
SO ASK YOURSELE, WHAT KIND OF WORLD HAS WORK BUT NO JOBS. IT'S A WORLD WHERE WORK IS NOT RELATED TO SATISFYING OUR NEEDS, WORLD WHERE WORK IS ONLY RELATED TO SATISFYING THE PROFIT NEEDS OF BUSINESS.
THIS COUNTRY WAS NOT BUILT BY THE HUGE CORPORATIONS OR GOVERNMENT BUREAUCRACIES.
IT WAS BUILT BY PEOPLE WHO WORK. AND, IT IS WORKING PEOPLE WHO SHOULD CONTROL THE WORK TO BE DONE. YET, AS LONG AS EMPLOYMENT IS TIED TO SOMEBODY ELSE'S PROFITS, THE WORK WONT GET DONE.

I see the logic here but ultimately this kind of practice needs to stopped by law makers. If all companies had this policy, then the workforce has no choice, it becomes the new norm.

Can bluesky please have:
- a media mode, where images and video are full width
- an art feed, where it only shows art accounts I will enjoy (like For You is doing but _only_ art)

A square marble tile with a shiny metal ball on it next to some papers and a coffee mug.

I'm buying a kitchen and they sent a sample of the marble counter top with a metal ball showing what the sink will be like. Now my desk looks like a 90s 3D rendering tool demo image.

This is awesome. Is there some way of adjusting the animation so that you don't get those sharp edges for when it transitions back to the left? Would be nice if it stayed curvey right up until the end, or is this already at the limits of what's possible?

Poverty doesn't seem to have a good representation though, would be an interesting one. What else is missing for you?

Wage stub: ๐Ÿงพ
Strike sign: ๐Ÿชง
Union card: ๐Ÿชช
"Pink" slip: ๐Ÿ“ƒ
Organising: โœŠ

While I agree that it's problematic that corporations have such a strong say, emojis are supposed to be generalised and will not always be exact (e.g. not every animal).

Ah, I see the quote is 8 years old. We've had a lot of new emojis since then! Weeee! ๐Ÿง™

Deadline 2025: "The B-Movie" Check out the results and releases from Deadline 2025, held 3rd - 5th October 2025 in Berlin, Germany on Demozoo.

Under "PC Demo" you'll see the entries and often they'll have a video attached. Or if you have a Windows machine you can download the exe and run it ๐Ÿ˜‰. And you'll note we didn't actually come last, but the bottom two were sort of troll entries, so it was basically last ๐Ÿ˜…

Last year I made this for the Deadline demoparty in Berlin. We've finally released the track along with the webGPU demo. Created with Hedron, which uses #threejs.
