If web browsers were good they'd add native options for sorting to tables instead of every website importing megabytes of JS each time.

New recording of me presenting how the stuff works in by @awana.digital@bsky.brid.gy

Logged into twitter for the first time in at least a year and it was neat to see who was still posting regularly. Out of the hundreds of accounts I still followed only 4/5 posted this month, two were "popular" accounts that were now getting way less engagement, and others were folks that seem locked to specific communities (VR/Crypto)

Does anyone have a thermal receipt printer they particularly like?

I want to start printing little thermal-printed versions of my blog posts to staple in my journal. But I don't know much about what good brands are and the like?

I preferred the declarative nature of AppCache manifests over the code heavy Service Workers. Now we have yet another feature that cannot be used without JS. 🤷

Oh my god, Pied JUST WORKS!
I can't believe my ears! :psyduck:

I just installed Pied's flatpak package, let it install Piper, then downloaded the best English voice I could find ("Lessac", the basis for most other voices), and told Pied to set it as the Speech Dispatcher voice…

Now Orca sounds natural, and I can stand using it, for the first time in 20 years. :blobmiou:

Video below demonstrates reading this post.

@philip @thomasfuchs I agree wholeheartedly! I'm a major proponent of backwards compatibility and I wish businesses used more pressure to force all these big tech companies to have indefinite backwards compat instead of breaking things to reinvent the wheel yet again.

Eyy, wrapped up the workweek with the stuff I wanted to do done. 🥳

@rayckeith @thomasfuchs Big mood. Had a similar experience on Android recently. Like there's no good reason it should be so unstable.

Also why I like Linux. Don't gotta update nothing so long as it's running. >:P

@thomasfuchs Except when the OS updates and breaks everything every few years. 😭

Google and Apple are singlehandedly keeping developers employed by forcing companies to change everything to keep up with breaking changes / app store requirements.

Kinda why I like shitty web apps with little JS in them.

These days, All programs are `curl | bash` with extra steps.

IMO react makes stuff more annoying for everything except dynamically updated lists. Low key I miss Angular style data binding libraries.

Also apparently backbone is still a thing? backbonejs.org/

Groups: "Let's go around and have everyone share a fun fact."

Neurotypical: [A fact about themselves that's quirky in the most beige, unoffensive way possible]

Autistic: [A decontextualized deep slice about one of their special interests... maybe followed by a series of similar facts as they get increasingly excited]

ADHD'ers: [A decontextualized obscure connection that they made between two seemingly unconnected things... followed by a 30 minute attempt to provide the missing context]

I was corrected for saying “real name” when I meant “legal name.” So, a reminder:

Your LEGAL name is a name that identifies you for official purposes.

Your REAL name is the name by which a practitioner of the occult arts could conjure you in a summoning circle and bind you to complete a task.
