What? I thought reading for your children was an universal thing and everybody does this.

Nobody can take this from me. I read for my two year old all the time. For a few weeks now we go to the library together to discover new books.

It's fun. It's adorable. It's quality time. It's bonding. It's extremely important.

I don't get how so many parents don't do this.

I built a Snow…mouse? 😅

Something like that should be illegal.

In every version a feature got introduced.

Seriously why is this still a thing? Changelogs are so easy to write. That's especially weird because it's the changelog of the Linear app. An app for project management. 🤪

Compound words are still the best feature of the German language.

You can say a word, that probably never ever said and everyone understands and it makes sense.

I just said "Hochleistungsheißluftfriteuse" and it makes sense. I love it.

It's my native language and I'm 35, but I still appreciate it at least once a week.

@binarydigit I really love to see how many people do this right now.

Instagram is next for me. It's already announced and it's just delayed because I didn't have time.

WhatsApp will be harder. No private communication here, but the Kindergarten groups are here … So I guess it has to stay. But it has no rights in my phone and I use it with a phone number that doesn't exist. So that's something I guess.

I really would like to get rid off WhatsApp.

No private communication here, but the Kindergarten groups are here … So I guess it has to stay.

At least it has no permissions on my phone and I use it with a phone number that doesn't exist. So that's something I guess.

But how can I convince a bunch of parents without any technological knowledge to switch to Signal.

The argument that it's about their kid's privacy doesn't impresses anyone. But okay these people post images of their kids in their WhatsApp stories and have them as a profile picture. So their kid's privacy seems to be irrelevant for them. 🫠

I get called out here because I say #Pixelfed is a mess.

That's awesome bit weird. Objectively it's an unfinished product with missing features, missing UI and UX polish and even @dansup says the current web interface isn't good and he's working on something new.

We want Pixelfed to be not only an alternative to bigger platforms but to be the best choice. Shouldn't we be open then about things that don't work properly or are implemented poorly?

Defending Dan because he does most of the work on his own isn't what helps anyone. Being aggressive towards people that point out problems isn't helpful at all too.

Don't pretend Pixelfed is without errors. Don't pretend the current state is good.
It's an okayish start but there is a really long way to make it a good product.

But it will never become something good if we don't point out that the current state is a mess. Even if you probably could argue that the wording is a bit harsh.

As a developer for 18 years myself I can say you putting on white gloves when criticizing a project will don't move anything. So don't act like we're in Kindergarten here.

It's really sad, that #Pixelfed is still a mess.

How should I convince anyone that's using Instagram, that this is the better option? Seriously it's impressive how bad pretty much everything about this is.

It's so bad that I stopped sharing pictures altogether, because I don't want them on Instagram but Pixelfed is just too annoying to use. 🫠

I think it's okay to generate alternative text for images with AI. Preferably locally. But please PLEASE at least read what was generated.

Oftentimes a small detail is wrong and completely changes the meaning. Sometimes it's completely wrong. Or if you post screenshots of games or stuff change "a man", "a woman" or "a group of people" with the actual names.

I know alternative text is time consuming sometimes, but it's important for a large portion of users.

So please take the time to read what was generated and correct mistakes or add nuances. It only takes a small amount of extra time but helps a lot.

I hate the time of the year where I can't leave the house because everyone throws around explosives.

And I hate that the authorities not only ignore this but actively encourages it by allowing stores to sell this stuff early.

I wish the main topic for a large portion of Mastodon users wouldn't be other social networks.

It's so exhausting permanently have to read something about some network similar to Mastodon.

You aren't happy here? Leave. You are happy here fine! Let other's too.

There will no point in time where everyone uses the same network and this is a good thing, not a bad thing.

Ich schreib das folgende #JobAngebot mal auf Deutsch, da die Unternehmenssprache Deutsch ist:

Wir suchen ab sofort (oder sobald du kannst) Entwickler:innen welche Erfahrungen mit #Laravel haben.

Wir sind ein kleines privates Unternehmen, ohne Investoren-Bullshit, welches im Bereich E-Commerce Fuß gefasst hat, aber abseits davon auch diverse eigene Web-Anwendungen entwickelt.

Wir bieten 32 oder 40 Stunden Verträge und es ist eine Hybrid-Stelle in #Berlin. Hybrid heißt hierbei theoretisch 50:50 Homeoffice/Büro, wobei es hier keine festen Tage gibt und man auch bei Bedarf mal 100% Homeoffice machen kann oder, wenn man möchte, auch 100% im Büro sein kann.

Unsere aktuellen Projekte haben Laravel 11 mit einem, welches noch auf Laravel 10 läuft. Im Frontend arbeiten wir mit Vue.js und Inertia.

Ich bin Team-Lead des Dev-Teams, bei Fragen also gerne per DM an mich. Ich vermittle dann gerne weiter, wenn es irgendwie passt.

Wichtig auch: Der Job ist LGBTQIA*-freundlich und wir wollen niemanden, der/die es nicht ist.

@css I'm definitely with you here, but it's talked about as it were available everywhere. Especially in Tutorials that often only mention it as a side note.

But the worst part for me as a developer is, that I can't read these tutorials, as they always just include Codepens that do nothing on my iPhone. Not a single video or at least an explanation.

It's so sad many Web Developers act in a way like Anchor Positioning and Scroll-Driven Animations are widely supported.

That excludes so many people. Not only these that want to make stuff for everyone, but also many people with older browsers (we're speaking of weeks and months not years) or different browsers than Chromium based browsers.

Dear #WebDev bubble: Please keep in mind that not everyone uses the latest Chrome version.

Constantly torn between "I really loved backend development!" and "I want everything to be pretty and accessible in frontend!". 😅

I have to be honest: Frontend Development is not as fun because you have to think about so many things. But it's much more rewarding for me and it's the stuff people see.

If I refactor the backend to be a bit faster, people will notice at first but after that it's just normal.
If you create a beautiful UI that is accessible, every person will experience it every time they use the interface.

@binarydigit The name is 🔥

I hate this so much. I'm playing #DiabloIV currently with my wife. Locally. Couch-Coop. And we constantly get logged out because of some server issues.

Fuck you. Seriously. If you can't guarantee stable servers don't make them mandatory.

At this point I would like to pay gor a local only mode. How can servers be that bad!? 🤬

My child is finally old enough to sing "Happy Birthday" for me. 😍🥰😭

Kind of. 😁

Children are special sometimes.

Child: "I want to watch the fish game!"
Me: *Starts Dave the Diver*
Child: *Stares for 60 seconds satisfied*
Child: "This is boring! I don't want this!"
Me: *Turns off the game*
Child: "No! I want to watch the fish game!!!"
