Tell me how long you've been in #webdev without telling me how long you've been in webdev.

I remember a colleague writing a regex to detect URLs, and I had to point out that it should include the new-fangled HTTPS as well as HTTP URLs.

I'm not a Catholic, let alone a Christian, so I can't say for certain whether questioning the Pope's authority on theology is a strange thing for a Catholic to do, but it seems strange. https://media...

Recently I read a post by some jackhole techbro who wants a default automatic feed algorithm here just like Big Social™. Opening the door for AI bullshit is not even the worst part of this idea. F...

I often miss a really great post because the timeline is strictly chronological.

That is, I don't see it the first time around.

Then I *do* see it because one of the people I follow boosts it. The system works.

@nprofile1q... For a young female reader—Ursula LeGuin of course. More recently "The Deep Sky" by Yume Kitasei or "The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet" by Becky Chambers.

This is just a fantastic interview with Tony Gilroy. If you liked Andor—which you should, because it’s amazing—give it a read. https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:jdslisa2yxrdanivszq3ki7g/post/3m...

I would love to see that feedback in detail then. And only new users?

To me it doesn't look substantially different to Twitter, Threads or Bluesky. I would think users of those systems, or even Facebook, would find it familiar.

I don't hate it. But I don't look at the current layout and think “there's clearly something wrong here”. I don't want things to change for no reason.

If this was offered, like the Advanced web interface, as a non-default option, fine. But it definitely, as they say “ain't broke”.

@nprofile1q... @nprofile1q... @nprofile1q... Those people are your local Parkrun people. They're there for you, as a resource, if you need them. The encouragement and stuff is just part of their culture, like if you went to another country. Also they need volunteers every week which is a very Open Source kind of vibe.

I keep reading the same thing in article after article about #charliekirk — "all of us were forced to see the horrible video on #SocialMedia whether we wanted to or not".

Not to be too smug about it but no, not all of us, right? Because I'm on #Mastodon I didn't get auto-playing videos of Kirk's shooting brought to me by an algorithm which decided it was "popular".

I can't be the only person who thinks this wacky graphic is in incredibly poor taste, considering the subject matter?

Ooh look at comically-tiny Ghislaine, how will she get out from under the comically-large hammer!?!?

What were they thinking?
