So the new Apple Goggles apparently have a two-hour running time so that should be fine unless you want to watch the latest John Wick film or something.

Folks: is owned by a horrible new billionaire… Forget the , let’s use & by the billionaire who created Twitter instead.

Meanwhile…

‘When a Twitter user commented there was “not a chance the DNC allows him to be nominated,” Dorsey replied, "Even more reason.” He later added that the DNC “seems more irrelevant by the day” and wrote “end of an empire,” to which Tesla CEO and current Twitter owner Elon Musk replied with two fire emoji.’

It’s amazing to me that we’ve built a system where you’re punished for trying to do the right thing and rewarded for fucking things up.

Want to build a better web? Sure, man. Sounds great. How about you toil under financial insecurity and spend inordinate amounts of time worrying about keeping a roof over your head? That should be fun.

By the way, why isn’t it ready yet? Look at what those billionaires are achieving. What’ve they got that you don’t?

Hmm, let me think about that for a second…

@nlovsund Thanks, Nathan. A lesson I’m only now starting to learn, I think.

@designbyadrian Nah, was just venting about the fact that I’m spending my time trying to find a place to live – because rents and housing crisis – while Space Karen and friends have their every worldly need met a thousand times over and are busy devoting 100% of their time to actively fucking things up.

Quick heads up if you’re playing with Kitten, I’ve just removed the option to return an object (with title, icon, libraries, etc., properties) from your page routes now that we have the new <page> tag that lets you do that from within html tagged template strings not just from your pages but also from fragments and components.

(So we have one way of doing things that works consistently everywhere now.)

:kitten: 💕

@aral@mastodon.ar.al avatar

Just updated Domain to use the new <page> tag in Kitten and I love how much nicer it is.

It’s great to be able to include htmx¹ and apply hx-boost² (think of it as magic ajax) to the whole app from the base layout component.

Also love being able to specify, for example, that Alpine.js³ should be included on the page from a component that uses it.

Diff: https://codeberg.org/domain/app/commit/b12ec58027044ad52b83d04e09d6273b907b3af1?style=split&whitespace=show-all

Note to self: maybe don’t link to a diff on @Codeberg from the fediverse :)

Apologies if the request is not loading for you (it’s not for me). I guess it’s being hammered a bit (it’s likely not cached).

Update: It seems to be loading faster now. Likely because the original post has scrolled off folks’ timelines. (Or maybe it was a coincidental hiccup.)

Just bought a license for Typora, a gorgeous markdown viewing/editing application that seamlessly renders your markdown in place as you write it.

It’s by an independent developer and also runs on Linux.

Screenshot of Typoria showing the Kitten README file with the outline sidebar active. It has quick jump links to the various headings in the document.
Screenshot of a modal dialog box that has the Typoria icon and reads “Typoria Activated. Thanks for your purchase.” It Close, Deactivate, and View License buttons.
