What a waste of legislative time and money. Pennies are already round.

What's the process look like? Which parts are you responsible for and which parts does it handle?

My brain doesn't understand that Palantir and Pelaton are different companies, and sometimes that makes the news seem very strange

How do you feel about developers in the other end; those that choose not to use AI?

Striking, even

Feels like a lot of devs are choosing to adopt AI

Anyone else actively avoiding it? What are your reasons?

I love you, Dave Rupert. I love you so much.

Very helpful. Thank you 😊

Yeah, this is the approach I've seen that seemed most attractive. What does your WC use most often look like?

Sorry for the lazy question, but search is dead and AI is not to be trusted.

How does the story look these days for ssr and webcomponents? I know that was an issue in the past. I periodically check in and haven't seen anything that I'm sold on yet. Last I saw, it was kind of doable. Not practical

How do y'all @svelte.dev Kit users style active nav links? Seems like page.route.id is not reactive on nav changes

Friends, I'm on the search for some contract work. If you or someone you know could use the help of a web developer with experience leading teams, building full-stack applications, adhering to accessibility guidelines, and being pleasant to work with, please let me know.

:)

Signal app donation confirmation page.

Signal app donation confirmation page.

I was going to ask y'all to donate to @signal.org but I had to do it first.

Now that I have, please consider learning about Signal, and why privacy is important, even when you don't have anything to hide, then consider donating to help Signal continue their work. signal.org/donate

As tens of thousands across America protest the violence that ICE sows with impunity, federal agents shot and killed another person in Minneapolis today.

ICE terrorizes our cities. ICE puts us all in danger. Abolish ICE.

I oughta add font variant stuff to mine.

And that abbr rule is πŸ‘¨β€πŸ³πŸ‘Œ

Yeah, I don't think it would do anything for the pseudos. I was thinking it would allow for one fewer rules. But clarity always trumps clever.

Thanks for sharing, btw. Both the full version, and the play by play. These are fun, and always teach so much

Any reason you use a separate block for the padding/margin 0 on everything, and don't just put it in the block with before and after pseudos?

Naked Power - Infrequently Noted Apple and Google's app stores stand for nothing and will stand up to no-one. Good riddance.

Regulators can take many lessons from the Grok/Twitter undressing scandal, but one of the most important is that Apple and Google are gaslighting when they claim store monopolies are necessary to protect us. Nothing could be further from the truth:

Ok, it seems to be based on chronological order for which tab was last focused...which still seems weird to me, but maybe just because I'm used to it the other way

@vivaldi.com the CTRL+TAB shortcut focuses browser tabs in some sort of random order I can't make sense of. Other browsers go left to right (or right to left with SHIFT). Is there a reason? Is this a bug? Am I an idiot?
