Oh this sounds like #Firefox will become a real browser for me soon. I wish they were ready already for the #ManifestV3 thing. But I guess it's good to know they're on it.
@kaiserkiwi@Sirs0ri I primarily use FF for web dev, and have been for the past years. I don't miss anything in the dev tools - but some things are in a bit different place than Chrome. But maybe your type of dev has more specific needs than mine...
Fully switched to my Fairphone after @phpday 2024, and it feels like a good phone without Android bloatware (looking at you, Samsung, Google, etc.).
A bit big, but it runs as it should, and I feel better knowing that I'll be able to replace any part of it in very few minutes, if it breaks.
The fairbuds headphones feel amazing too: better than my old Sony WF-1000XM3, for which I had even custom silicone plugs made. Also there, the Sony ones failed due to batteries dying, while here I change 'em
@thomastospace@derickr@ocramius@phpday if you use Google play store I can recommend Nova Launcher. Found that best the last time I went through the pack
Watching this Practical Engineering video about the Francis Scott Key bridge collapse, and at one point he drops this photo of the immediate aftermath of the 1980 collapse of the Sunshine Skyway bridge near Tampa

Okay. What do the bumper stickers on this car say?? This is really distracting me. I think the one on the right says something like "Do It With A ____ _____". I think someone bought a sex joke bumper sticker and accidentally got it immortalized in structural engineering history!!
Every time I'm confronted with the "Sign-in with Google" modal, I have to wonder what UX will come up with next in their efforts to make the internet an ever more joyless and annoying place. In retrospect, we should have fought them on Material Design. Even unto the bitter end.
Personally I use uBlock to block Google in many other ways, and by adding this filter, the sign popup will be blocked, without telling Google about the sites you visit:
||accounts.google.com/gsi/*$xhr,script,3p
@billyjoebowers@erik I'm pretty sure the sites are adding it themselves. Maybe it comes as part of the "sign in with Google" as can be seen on many websites.
Google has a huge interest for users to link their site logins with their Google account. Not only do Google track them more directly, but also they get signed into Chrome as well, if using their browser, which open yet another door of surveillance. Especially with their latest changes to browser level tracking.
@SuitedUpDev@codinghorror Exactly. Still got time to rage listen the song!

> Whamageddon is a game played during the 24 days before Christmas Eve in which players try to go from December 1 to the end of Christmas Eve as per European celebrations on the 24th December (11:59pm or 23:59 on the 24th of December) without hearing "Last Christmas" by Wham!
Thinking about how Arch [or Arch derivatives like Manjaro] really do seem to have their shit together but I'd be worried about my system suddenly sliding from a good state to a bad state after one upgrade.
Is there likeโฆ a way to run Arch with checkpoints you can wind back?
Or is that just NixOS? Like is the thing I just described NixOS
(Note: Yes, this is the kind of post it's appropriate to reply to recommending Linux distributions, in this case I asked for it)
@aral@mcc About to make the switch to Fedora (from Windows, have been using WSL and Linux on servers for years, so now it's time) - what desktop environment do you use?
An article about why Tailwind creates bloated, heavy documents.
> The semantic version is 8ร smaller, renders faster, and is easier to modify and extend.
Please, remember that producing smaller documents is good for everyone: battery of the userโs device, server CPU, network bandwidth, electricity used to transfer and handle (parse, renderโฆ) all the data. Itโs our responsibility as developers to save data and be smart, not lazy.
@hywan I find a good mix between component vs utility css to be best for me. The hard part of comp-based css in large complex sites (which is ignored in this example) is insight into what will change when changing an underlying class. It is often times very hard to predict, that is my experience.
I have no data, but isn't one of Tailwind pros that the stylesheet will stop growing in relation to amount of components and variations that exists on a site? Where as component has to duplicate css
After my rather hopeless earlier post about how Greenpeace's report about the shrinking European rail network shows us what's wrong, but not what can we do... a further post with 10 policy proposals
These are the things I would do to put right some of Europe's rail ills, with the focus on #CrossBorderRail
My oldest daughter (she came to see mini-me) is on the phone with VIA Rail to try and upgrade her ticket for the trip back tomorrow and I am pretty sure the hold music is designed to make you hang up
