"The principles of the Fediverse, with an emphasis on local control, quality content, and social value, are far more aligned with our public purposes than those of avowedly commercial networks like Threads or Twitter."

I have spent this week declining work requests that are unreasonable in scope or that make me uncomfortable and I would like a goddamn medal.

Hey #indieweb #openweb #webstandards folks, I'm writing a piece for @fumacapt on why RSS matters and why it's cool.

Can you share your personal perspective, resources you go back to, clients for different platforms?

That would be ace.

It's going to be out next week, and it's in Portuguese.

It’s funny: #WordPress powers about 40% of the internet but in the #fediverse it is still the underdog ☺️

If inspiration = motivation (as Thomas Thwaites said at #BTConf, paraphrased), then what's your go-to source when you feel you lack the drive?

Could be a podcast, book, personal website...

Enjoying™ running Steam Big Picture on Windows. Best bit is when it forgets the controller exists (often immediately after I've been playing a game WITH THE CONTROLLER) and I have to find the keyboard and mouse to click things.

No, tell a lie, best bit is when it randomly task-switches mid-game back to Big Picture. Really helpful in, say, Rocket League.

If I could get the games I play on a console, I'd dump this godforsaken mess in the bin.

A little #UX quiz: in which of those two inputs will your password be visible aka unmasked? 🤔

"Nakba and Shoah, the Hebrew word for Holocaust, mean the same thing: catastrophe. I reject the premise that one people’s salvation must come at another’s destruction. I am committed to creating a world where this does not happen — and this cannot be done from within the Biden administration.”

I like to call it Xitter because in #Portuguese it sounds "shitter".

The forest is changing faster than Janzen, Hallwachs, and other researchers can document. There’s not much to do about it except to stop climate change and deforestation, they say, and keep on with their work of restoring the landscape.

Gardening: Moving grass, soil, and other stuff around from place to place, until someone comes to collect your green bin.

Repeatedly.

Until you die.

And nature wins.

Nature always wins...

I would love to see more industry professionals thinking and talking about meaning as a job criteria.

Anyone @beep @sitenonsite @dletorey @davidroessli ?
