The fact that X regards posts with links less valuable than just a text with an image with missing alternative text ruins it as a platform. No, I don't want to use this as my blog. And yes, a link to more information is more value than a pithy 240 character blurb.
So to those optimising for that nonsense - you lost me as a reader. I can't be arsed to find your post in this terrible timeline and then having to find the next just to see what you were on about.

So, Google is about to announce a new personal assistant, Pixie and OpenAI a search engine. This is getting super weird. Hey big tech: assistants failed, we don't use them, stop trying to make the web a consumable and perishable product. Use it as a platform.

Don't let Batman hear her name, but https://marta.sh/ is pretty awesome. Double panel file manager like Total Commander / Norton Commander but fully customisable and extensible. MacOS only though.

Did you know that HTML has a translate attribute? You can prevent browsers from automatically translating labels and other text elements by setting it to "no".

If IE6 had died faster, JavaScript would not be as big. We always had to patch things for it using JavaScript. CSS was held back by it and JavaScript was the way to get things working, instead of platform-native tech doing the job.

I don't know what is more bonkers: thinking that this was a good idea or all the people in the thread (including the maintainers) defending it as a Hindu Swastik and thus being OK to show.
Regardless of this being malice or being clueless, it's wrong and I did report it.

@heiglandreas but then it's missing the dots as well. Regardless, it's been appropriated by the worst and now re-used by terrible people to give their hate a symbol. Same goes for a ton of viking symbols.
