I don't mind so long as there is a summary/abstract for me to assess if it's worth my time, and their site is accessible. Press a button from the feed reader and now elinks opens up for me to read it. Some site's this is

Coincidentally, I got Newsboat+Podboat mostly set up today on NixOS to disconnect from the feed cycle that wants me to continually engage. The sad fact was learning after not having subbed to anything after two years to find a lot of news c

Not agreeing/disagreeing with the message, but the style of writing here is quite nice. It's focused, reasoned, and doesn't make too many assumptions about your tools and environment--and I appreciate that acknowledgment.

Not not true, but if one migrates their repos now, they will create new projects on their new home which will start to break the cycle.

In the last few years I've moved away from JavaScript and frameworks in a lot of cases because writing raw HTML and CSS was not cumbersome, involved vastly simpler tooling, and didn't involve other folks needing to learn some obsc

Guess we'd need to reinvent all the accessibility that HTML brought us too.

lightningcss is my new preferred tool for doing all the vilification and prefixing.

The biggest feature I miss from Sass is the indented syntax (though SugarSS does that better since it has multiline support); for now I make due even if semicolons and brackets add noise. There's still a use case for Sass if you need t

I wouldn't disagree. Nesting state and pseudo selectors can clean up code.

I've stopped using preprocessor for years now. Almost everything I need is now in the spec or solved ‘good enough’ through a naming scheme. IMO, a preprocessor is a lot of complexity for little gain currently.

Yep. Flickr does a lot of things right in comparison: holds onto and prominently displays camera metadata (EXIF), doesn't strip your color profile, allows uploading in wide gamuts to all clients (no sRGB conversion), doesn't compr

It works fine in feh (image preview) and all of the open source tools I use for photography mentioned before. I have the browser flags enabled. I guess I’m not an actual user.

I use it with the picture element as the preferred codec. I found often AVIF was a bigger size than WebP and JXL so I stopped bothering as the encoding times are just awful.

It's about the experience. Having JavaScript is fine, but <noscript> is a part of accessibility. It's just plain broken with no warning when scripts are disabled. It's a wise practice to personally disable scripts by de

You'd hope there would be at least an example that doesn't require JavaScript if this is a CSS thing. It could have made a good <noscript> block to remind you to enable to see the editor.

It's another reason your programming community should lock into a platform as well. I know certain languages where this user would no longer be able to participate and publish packages anymore.

Can we make the GDPR thing permanent across the board that the company isn't allowed to send me unsolicited emails I didn't sign up for? This is the worst part about signing up with email.

I believe it goes against the ToS for Microsoft GitHub to have more than one account per human.

Why doesn't this link to the main website? GitHub is not a blogging platform and this is a mess to read.

If Thunderbird is replacing K9, it better remain on F-Droid. Mozilla doesn't publish or optimize officials browser builds there so they can end up lagging on release which can cause security concerns.

While I see this is a good, I wish it wasn't just about how/where the data is stored. I would love to see a bigger push against teaching children on proprietary software in general over free software+generic skills.

As a bonus, I can apply userStyles to fix their UIs such as them not making black #000 (muddy grey looks bad on OLED) or not using my user-agent-defined monospace font or putting too much padding around elements in a chat UI.

Lambda Soup ( https://aantron.github.io/lambdasoup ) is a recommendation over BeautifulSoup :) A compiled binary and a language with types helps me write parsing/scraping scripts.
