Q: How is AI being used in web development?

A: CEO's stole our copyrighted work, and are now using it to threaten our jobs, lay people off, and cut our pay.

- Refuse to publicly support trans rights
- Lose the election
- Blame it on your excessive support for trans right

Yeah, that tracks

@AmeliaBR what's the point of gummies if you don't share them, after all

No kids came by. Does anyone know how to get the razor blades out of leftover chocolate? I don't want this all going to waste.

If cool URIs don't change, maybe they shouldn't be managed by landlords and rented on a year-to-year basis.

(it seems to me that avoiding link rot should be treated as a platform issue, not a slogan for scolding people who didn't successfully predict the future or treat a webpage as a lifelong commitment)

@zachleat @beep variable fonts don't weigh anything anyway they're magic

We need unions.

And we also need employee-owned collectives that reject eternal growth, increased production, and shareholder profit as the goals of our labor.

The infinite growth model is destroying our world. We can build alternatives.

@eaton Thanks! For now, I've just switched to a for loop, and it's working fine.

(where 'fine' involves some amount of rage and regret for past decisions)

YOU CAN"T DO ASYNC IN AN ARRAY.MAP() FUNCTION?!

I've wasted so many hours trying to debug this array of promises that never resolve…

You're allowed to post on your blog once every decade, and you don't even need to apologize for it. That's also part of having your own space.

Personal sites aren't a competition, and productivity doesn't have to be a metric.

@matuzo Safari supports user styles! (I thought the same thing, but then went looking)

@yatil @matuzo Yeah, I love that one two. Makes me want a min-font-size property.

I also like that user setting as an author. I don't want to define a font size _relative_ to the user preference (which I can't know), I want to set a size _no smaller_ than the user preference.

Oh sure, of course NFTs aren't worth anything - but the AI is still real, right?

right?

The only way to 'avoid the cascade' is by not writing #CSS. Every web style, no matter how or where we write it, participates in the cascade.

CSS wouldn't even be possible without a cascade of some kind. Since it's possible to write conflicting styles, browsers need some way to resolve those conflicts. That's all the cascade is.

We can imagine different rules for that process – what we have now wasn't the original proposal, & we've made updates recently – but there has to be something.
