@npub1wfj…2ewz Your dedication to the pun cause is noted and appreciated.

Hello! This is a random reminder to provide alternative texts (alt text) to your images so more people can enjoy your content.

@npub18c7…er9d Will no one rid us of this troublesome Recall?

@npub1sua…szrk How about getting one also for Astro's Playroom, Ratchet & Clank: A Rift Apart (the first scene being an excellent showcase of the improved hardware over PS4), and some other PS exclusives? 😇

The frustrating thing about new fancy CSS technology is that the specs, articles, and hype happen long before their baseline implementation.
Looking at you, container style queries!

@npub1wfj…2ewz (Also, it really doesn't matter; just stay consistent in your choice per project if possible)

@npub1wfj…2ewz Honey, come quick; someone is debating FBVs versus CBVs again! 🍿

Do you use headings in GitHub issues and comments?
If yes, take note of the heading level you use. Start at four (4) to ensure a correct document flow.
Part of my new quick tip:
"Use H4 in GitHub issue descriptions"

You know what type of #accessibility feature doesn’t get talked about enough?
Having multiple access points to achieve a goal, and the ability to choose how you want be contacted.
As someone who struggles with executive dysfunction, auditory information processing disorder, who sometimes can’t deal with hearing sound or speech, and has a lifetime of sleeping issues, enforcing phone calls in early morning to make appointments is cruel.

I officially joined the Django Accessibility team! 🥳
Blog and website updates will follow later.

@npub1zdp…vqv8 Glad they recovered it! Here they would get slapped because it's illegal (theft) to take back an object that someone has stolen from you 😒

@npub12ze…hunm I often applaud Microsoft for being consistent in providing frustrating UI for so many years.

@npub1wfj…2ewz That's correct! If you want to be lazy, you've got to be smart. 💪🏻

@npub1rv4…ft5j I am unsure if you are excited for the AI apocalypse or you just like to taunt our future overlords.

Open source contributors, what did you wish you knew when you started contributing? Or is there something that kept you from contributing for too long?
I am asking for a presentation, which I will give in two weeks.

@npub1km9…rh4n Also, for accessibility purposes, could you add alt-text to images you share?
In case of social media posts, you can copy/paste the post text.

@npub1km9…rh4n I'm not saying it's ADHD but it could be 😅

@npub1wfj…2ewz Any thoughts you would like to share with us about that?

💡 I made a joke about Comic Mono earlier, but it's actually a font worth visiting.
Several dyslexic developers told me that Comic Mono is a great programming font for them.
ℹ️ The benefit of Comic is that the letters have distinctive shapes, which helps to identify them.
You can try it yourself: it's open source!

Hello, front-end developers. Here's your infrequent reminder to make websites that also work on browsers NOT Google Chrome.
Forcing anyone to use Google's glorified spyware is not cool.

@npub1f6a…pnql @npub1su4…a0dw Someone didn't proofread the citation of the quote, which says you are research instead of a researcher 🤔

I feel the sudden urge to listen to the song “Welcome to Hell” by Mono Inc. The last time that happened was when I entered IKEA on a Saturday afternoon. 😨
Hopefully it’s all a prank and they go “Surprise! We just gave you bad examples on purpose!” 🤞🏻
May that workshop be swiftly over. 🙏🏻

@npub19sv…2zwu I'm a simple person. I see "Python" and "Documentation" and "Sphinx" and I boost.

@npub1xed…yg9w What did you do?

2023-10-19 16:10:26

- reply

@npub1q5l…ywp3 Nope, just a simple script that moves existing dotfiles out of the user directory and plonks in a symlink.
I’ll look up Stow, though, thanks for sharing!

2023-10-19 16:05:31

I’ve finally moved my critical dotfiles to a Git repository so I can transfer and update them more easily between devices.
The concept relies on creating symbolic links to the repository files from the user's home directory.
I basically googled (DuckDuckGo’d) my way through it, and there is little original about this approach. Not sure if I’ll end up blogging about it.

@npub1xed…yg9w ... they're illegal where I live, but we've buried the mess secretly, hoping no one will ever find out.
