Are you claiming things for yourself during eternal Caturday?

Exciting to see this roll out everywhere! Fun fact: in Ruby it's &. and nicknamed the "lonely operator" because Matz thought it looked like a person sitting alone on the floor staring at a dot. šŸ˜„ twitter.com/adarosecannon/…

Another day, another day people on the internet being surprised by megacorps convinced they own your soul just because they pay you a salary.

If I were to throw an ask me anything, what would you want to learn from me?
awww bummer. Our speaker this Thursday night cancelled last minute, so now I have to figure out what to do.
Spent some time in the guts of Ruby processing for my news reader app. Some via code I wrote ages ago, but sprucing it all up now. āœ… Feed autodiscovery (thanks Feedbag gem!) āœ… Publication icon pulled from touch icon or favicon āœ… Curator tags plus overridden user tags

Also if you don’t mind a bit of finagling, you can also take an older vanilla JS library and *wrap it* in a web component + shadow DOM for easy reuse and attribute-based customization. I’ve done it, twice!
I don’t know who needs to hear this, but… …the Shadow DOM isn’t for scoping CSS. It’s for scoping *everything*. HTML, CSS, *and* JavaScript all neatly encapsu...

On the left, the latest @_reallifemag essay proposing NFTs as economic equalisers. On the right, data showing @NFTs are reproducing the same hierarchy that is criticised ...
another day, another 'Twitter's UI is user-hostile, actually' 🤷
