Aaand the site died. Thanks Fedi. 😂

Also, as promised, the Obscure Webdev piece in which I lay out some of the reasons and techniques of how I do politically motivated webdev is now published:

https://phryk.net/article/obscure-webdev/

Just finished the Link Privacy portion of my Obscure Webdev piece.

Currently clocking in at ~2.4k words.

Now to figure out how to structure all that jazz about no third-party requests. no JS and website design that is friendly to screenreaders, custom font-sizes and people filtering components like images out to cope with poor connections.

## Cornerstones ##

### Reader Privacy ###
…

### A deep hatred of JavaScript ###
…

I think I might be nailing it. :thounking:

Finally a text in which I can talk about #GoogleAnalytics being the biggest surveillance system literally ever.

Beginning to write a piece under the working title "obscure webdev"… no idea if it'll actually get finished or just be another thing languishing in my drafts. 🤷

@solene <strong><strong><strong>NO.</strong></strong></strong>

@radioinsecurity haveibeenpwned oder leak-spezifische seiten. letzteres gab es zB bei dem no-fly list leak.

@ArneBab Yes, you understand that correctly.

And also yes, you're right, but I actually already tried that but just now found the solution:

position: relative; on the *parent* element (i.e. <header>) will make the absolute positioning relative to the parent!

Also, didn't know about the lh unit yet, that's gonna be useful for sure! :3

microsoft bad

Thought way too hard about these, but what can I say, I gotta comply with my CI… :thinkhappy:

@AndresFreundTec Thanks a whole bunch, excellent work and just in the nick of time to avert the worst consequences. <3

@jalcine Discord combines a forum-like structure with realtime communication with a bunch of "rich web" features like structured references to posts and does it all with pretty good UX including close to zero hassle to join a community.

Absolutely not a fan, but don't know any FOSS that could completely substitute it.

@jens Please realize that what constitutes good UX can be highly specific to target audiences. What's good UX for tech-affine people is commonly horrible UX for average people and vice-versa.

Discord has good UX for people who have no idea what's going on in the background and no interest in finding out either.

@youronlyone Thanks for the in-depth info. Doesn't sound like a lifestyle I'd want, but definitely better than what I've heard about conditions with the big k-pop corporations. :)

@youronlyone Are the work conditions for pop idols in the Philippines at least less dehumanizing than in South Korea? Because that stuff is, like, borderline slave labor. :F

@bluGill @arstechnica @ElSupreme Really? I was pretty sure there's a dedicated type of device to measure specifically how tight bolt/screw connections are, but then again this isn't my area of expertise.

@Lily_and_frog Yeah, it seems pointless at first, but @ElSupreme clarified why it actually makes a lot of sense, see https://mastodon.sdf.org/@ElSupreme/111726678236007529

Didn't expect that, but actually makes a lot of sense in hindsight.

@arstechnica Network-connected… wrenches? IoT is becoming truly too stupid to even satirize… smdh.

Merry #ACAB day everyone! 🥳
