remember when Proton *lowered* the price of their password manager? https://proton.me/blog/proton-pass-price-change

edit: well nevermind. it looks like they did silently raise the price again by 50% smh.

maybe Bitwarden is the way to go from 1password

i built a micro-site that shows what i've been listening to! it periodically pulls music data from my last.fm

@chris this does not look like a good fit for me, but thank you for sharing

Anyone hiring a frontend developer in Canada? Circumstances have led me to start looking for my next job sooner than I would have liked.

I excel at working on design systems, cultivating a frontend culture, building with the grain of the web, and creating inclusive user experiences. Reach out if you need help with any of these!

I have deep knowledge of the web fundamentals (HTML/ARIA, CSS, JS) and the frontend ecosystem at large (build tools, frameworks, design tools).

@skinnylatte Valhalla, Odyssey and Origins for sure.

but i think Shadows is really well done, except for the weird dual character storytelling (they are always together in every cutscene and then one of them disappears??). the gameplay feels very satisfying and i'm enjoying it more than Ghost of Tsushima (which does not have very good stealth)

my take on the new "CSS Carousels" stuff:
- `:target-current` is good.
- `::scroll-button()` is salvageable.
- `::scroll-marker` and `::scroll-marker-group` should be removed entirely.

can anyone who uses https://nova.app/ vouch for it?

as someone who dislikes Apple UX, i'm always skeptical of Mac-only apps.

but really i just need strong support for the languages of the web: HTML, CSS, JS (including TS and JSX). despite the ever-growing interest in web development, these languages are usually overlooked by code editors.

@skinnylatte i've been eyeing that game but i get scared every time i look at the various different versions to choose from. apparently i can't just buy "Hitman 3"

the next generation of stalebots

one of my least favorite conversation starters/greetings is the question "how's it going?" (or any other variations of "how are you?")

the expected answer is "good" or "alright", so that's what i say, even when it's a lie.

usually it's going like shit. but no one wants to hear that. it would be a bummer way to start every conversation.

if we must do small talk, can we at least be creative?

npm is down, pass it on

learned at least 7 different things about the web from this post

if firefox dies, what will happen to web standards processes?

gecko feels like an important part of shaping and shipping standards

the US Web Design System having to delete their page on inclusive design is wild

is there a way to listen to the "opening" of top-layer elements _without patching globals_?

i want to run some code whenever a `<dialog>` or `popover` opens.

(sorry if i'm out of the loop)

you know it's December when Hulu and Hbo both want you to watch Elf 200 times

you know it's December when YouTube recommends shit like "lofi christmas". also michael bublé in four different playlists.

google literally knows about every song i've ever listened to in my entire life. it would be so easy for them to give me something relevant. it doesn't have to be like this

i could just accept it as "the way things are". but i choose to keep being angry at how most software sucks in so many little ways (by design).

this doesn't even cover the worst aspects of capitalism, but it's a good read: https://www.wheresyoured.at/never-forgive-them/

playing https://neva.game/ and it's beautiful!

the spinners need to be spun when the javascript is happening
