@mattl Finally revisited this with a clip-path with a polygon better precision (percent coordinates): https://codepen.io/artlung/pen/WbNKzdJ

@mattl You're very kind. I thank you with your logo in CSS with a somewhat *off* clip path. (I realized too late that the clip path maker I chose doesn't do decimals!) https://codepen.io/artlung/full/WbNKzdJ

I've been recording myself doing #CSSBattleDaily targets for almost 6 months. I enjoy CSS coding challenges. Coding videos are not everyone's cup of tea, but I've had people who make web pages say they learned watching me code. I track my progress at: https://artlung.com/cssbattles/

Oh, and my favorite piece of CSS remains the conic-gradient. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/gradient/conic-gradient

There was a scent of @anildash 's excellent essay https://www.anildash.com/2024/02/06/wherever-you-get-podcasts/ when Chris Hayes mentioned podcast tech.

Recent Chris Hayes interview on Marc Maron podcast namechecks RSS, “Really Simple Syndication,” web pages, and open protocols. My girlfriend: “how’s it feel to hear your arguments parroted back to you?” Roughly 50 minutes in. #IndieWeb #RSS https://www.wtfpod.com/podcast/episode-1621-chris-hayes

@mattl Procreate on iPad with an Apple Pencil. Post contains no spoilers.

I've started to think of Threads as Facebook's Google Plus.

Do you run an indie blog? -- https://blogofthe.day/ posts a blog every day, and welcomes submissions. Whatever your notions of small web--indieweb, (or even IndieWeb!), independent web, slow web, small web--blogs welcome!

@annika “Seen” button. I like that idea. I’ve pondered adding something like https://openheart.fyi to some parts of my site, adding expiry sounds like of interesting. Pretty sure heard of Open Heart from @benji in an #IndieWeb HWC.

@annika Lotta IMPACT in there

@annika and once you drive it off the lot, it depreciates 10%

@annika Been thinking aloud in #IndieWeb circles about how to handle my umpteen links from delicious and pinboard and twiter days. 👀

@danhon

Oh gosh I like the idea of that being codified.

<textarea user-reply-warning="THINK AGAIN IF YOU'RE GOING TO EXPLAIN THIS TO ME"></textarea>

Sometimes mine would be:
<textarea user-reply-warning="I wasn't asking for feedback on this so if you give me feedback and I don't know you and it stinks I will block you with no regret whatsoever"></textarea>

Rather than a content warning, it's an interaction warning.

Joe Lieberman, among other jerks, speaking out for a third party US Presidential candidate. Clay Shirky aptly summed up sending this message:

"But it doesn’t matter what message you think you are sending, because no one will receive it. No one is listening. The system is set up so that every choice other than ‘R’ or ‘D’ boils down to “I defer to the judgement of my fellow citizens.” It’s easy to argue that our system shouldn’t work like that. It’s impossible to argue it doesn’t work like that."
