I made a new thing: slash pages dot net https://slashpages.net/

What is it? A guide to common pages you can add to your website. Thanks to @shellsharks
for the help in getting a good description together as well.

My blog post about it: https://rknight.me/blog/slash-pages/

@robb It looks like IndieWeb suggests “using” over “uses”?

@craiggrannell The size and contrast were one thing, but the refresh rate when scrolling was the real killer.

We need an reader with "Reply" and "Repost" buttons. These actions would occur on a blog you connect with or , and use to notify the originating site.

"Cisgender is a slur" has some real "people pointing out racist behavior are the real racists" energy to it.

@evan There’s this ridiculous myth that it comes from the word “sissy” — which, even if it did, wouldn’t make it a “slur,” of course.

Let’s talk about dark mode and accessibility! There’s a myth that dark mode is good for accessibility, because it improves text readability. It's not always true.

A $3,000 Mac has the ability to run iPad apps. It shouldn’t be controversial to suggest that a $3,000 iPad should have the ability to run Mac apps

@Gte @stroughtonsmith 100%. "Capitulation" is the right word. I still believe in the iPad-as-iPad.

There can’t really be only 10 people on Mastodon who toot their way through . Which means there’s something wrong with how I’ve got this set up, right? Horror.hub alone should have hundreds. Anyone have any ideas/suggestions?

jsit,
@jsit@social.coop avatar

@BeachsideReader If a person posts, and they aren’t followed by anybody on your instance, you won’t see that post in a hashtag search.

One solution would be to go to the hashtag page on different instances and follow everyone who uses it.

https://social.horrorhub.club/tags/TheLastDriveIn

@BeachsideReader Another alternative would be for people to mention and follow the @thelastdrivein, @mutantfam, or @horror accounts.

What are some good (simple!) options for automagically posting RSS stuff on the Fediverse?

This works with Mastodon well enough, but I'd love a list of alternatives.

Media Log: The Hunt for Red October (1990)

If you were to score this on some kind of Bechdel scale, it might come back NaN.

I don’t use it often, but I love my iPod Nano, I just wish they would fix this podcasts syncing bug that persists in macOS.

(Yes I know all models are technically no longer supported.)

@grammargirl Just heard a variant of it on All Things Considered, from someone near Philly: “or anything like that,” at around 3:24 in this piece:

  1. Ca. 2006, eBoy made this gorgeous poster about stuff associated with Web 2.0

  2. I totally forgot I have a copy of this.

  3. I feel very confident saying this was a huge influence on the opening credits for "Silicon Valley"

  4. While we live 15 minutes away from each other IRL, it's an honor to have been situated as a computer neighbor with my hero, Kevin Kelly.

Something I get from Mastodon’s particular brand of anti-establishment sentiment is this kind of anachronistic vibe? It all kinda feels like this very earnest, 80s/90s, Adbusters, Berkeley, Whole Earth Catalog, almost boomer-leftie feel to it.

Anybody know what I’m talking about?

PELOSI: Trump has the worst record of jobs loss of any president

KATY TUR: There was a global pandemic

PELOSI: He had the worst record of any president. If you want to be an apologist for Donald Trump, that may be your role

@richard_merren Nobody hesitates to bring up the 2008 financial crisis when discussing unemployment under Obama’s first term.

These aren’t excuses; context matters.

jsit,
@jsit@social.coop avatar

@tdwllms1 I am by no means saying Trump was good or Obama was bad. I’m only saying that blaming the entirety of Trump’s jobs numbers on his performance alone, and accusing someone of apologia or both-sidesism for pointing out that this directly coincided with a global pandemic, is inane.

Trump can be a shitty person/president and have been dealt a rotten hand.
