The US represents 4% of the world’s population, but accounts for 25% of all cases and deaths from Covid-19. - American exceptionalism at its most dangerous.

ā€œwhy yes, I work on things on the Web! how’d you figure?ā€

1 in 3 workers in the US work for an employer smaller than 50 employees - which are exempt from the federal paid sick leave for covid-19. Even those that do are struggling to get their pay covered without a covid test. Plus countless gig workers who don’t qualify for any of this

Has anyone ever considered building an email extension of the Webmention specification?

By that I mean, a sender attempts to send a mention and if there is no endpoint or the send fails, then as a back up, the sender parses the receiving site’s page for an h-card and if an email address exists, sends an email notification there instead?

Might be helpful for those who don’t yet have Webmention set up, but could act as a backup. Then when they have things working later, they could force manual mentions to recollect them? Also useful for those who’d like notifications, but don’t want to build infrastructure or who might not want to show comments on their site either.

Time for a big Ruby comeback. Not saying we need a hockey-stick uptick—in fact that's probably a bad idea—but slow and steady growth is nothing but good news.

The amount of rebuilding of the world I see in the VS Code is kinda wild tbh, lol. I need to sit down and actually document my flow so y’all can see how much comes out of the box.

Phantom hard drive grinding sounds 😱 They're actually just bubbles popping inside of the can of kombucha I'm drinking, but they keep making me think there's an old hard drive somewhere grinding away! 🤣
"Critique unmasks hidden or suppressed realities...Repair language suggests new futures. It invites possibility...I’d wager that most people rehearse and exercise one far more than the other, and most people have too little equanimity about the mode that’s least natural to them."
