Want to know why Germany is protesting?

https://correctiv.org/en/top-stories/2024/01/15/secret-plan-against-germany/

"The scenarios sketched out in this hotel room in Potsdam all essentially boil down to one thing: people in Germany should be forcibly extradited if they have the wrong skin colour, the wrong parents, or aren’t sufficiently “assimilated” into German culture according to the standards of people like Sellner. Even if they have German citizenship."

For any other people in Germany seeing AfD political ads on YouTube - report them!

I can't remember exactly what option I chose - but basically I reported them for discriminatory views and racism.

Just received an email with this;

"We decided to take action against this ad, which could take up to 24 hours for full effect. We found that the ad doesn't follow Google’s policies, which prohibit certain content and practices that we believe to be harmful to users and the overall online ecosystem."

David Dylan Thomas started his closing talk strong with such a good quote.

It's still going strong.

Like his talks title says:
"No, seriously, fuck engagement: Building a more human web"

Would you like to discover some new dev & dev-adjacent blogs?

Do have a look: https://rs.sjoy.lol

I'm adding relevant blogs randomly as I come across them. I shuffle the order every few hours.

If I add so many blogs that the build time ratchets up too far for my liking, I may start the blog shuffle before the RSS fetching, and limit how many blogs are shown... I don't know.

I want it to be a discovery tool, not a "keep up with your RSS feeds" tool, that's what RSS readers are for :)

I have come to understand some people still do not know color-scheme, and that it's a nice way to make dark mode scrollbars without doing the things @eric will tell you is a bad idea :)

So here you go!

(If you're eagle-eyed, you may mostly notice the tabs don't slide up in the same way as before, and that my little mode toggles are gone.)

So the few times I've been to the US - once to California (which admittedly is different, on vacation rather than work), once to Corpus Christi, once to Arkansas (near Memphis) - I found myself boggling at how much open asphalt there was between stores.

I wondered if it was just because they had the space to expand, so they just did. It didn't occur to me that there were minimum parking rules. It was always very easy to park. Everywhere looked sort of empty/unpopular.

Public Service Announcement:
If you have an embarrassing problem that you're too embarrassed to go see a doctor about - GO SEE THE DOCTOR. Just do it.

Proctologists aren't embarrassed. They're up arseholes all day every day. Yours isn't unusually embarrassing or special.

Same for any other snigger-inducing body part. They've seen it all, and yours isn't that unusual.

If it is unusual, all the more reason to be checked out!

You Deserve Comfort.

Go Get It Seen To, Whatever It Is.

PSA over!

I don't specify that the links must be shown on the page it lands on, meaning you sometimes have to traverse a couple of pages on a site to find it - that's okay in my opinion.

Happy surfing! 🌊

Today's revelation (or a thing I always knew but only just put words to):

Burnout and depression are likely outcomes of life, if you're a perceptive, feeling person who cares a lot and can't turn it off.

I'm grateful to have the self awareness to know that I am wilfully ignoring a lot of things in life that I consider Bad Things because if I don't, I don't function (in society, or the system as it stands).

I have all the compassion for people doing the same, even without the self awareness.

• Feedback is a gift, even if not so intended. It is sometimes uncomfortable, but that means it's useful.
• It is just information. Do with it what you want.
• Become a collector of feedback. Get as much information out of a session as you can.
• Not everyone has to to like your work, or like you.
• It's rarely about you. They may have stuff going on, or have a pissed-off thinking face.
• Assume some negative feedback.
• Feedback may sting, because we're human.

Thank you David de Léon.

Just ordered far too many little stickers of my happy pepper (:happy_pepper:) that @andycarolan designed for me, based on my very silly bell pepper thread (https://front-end.social/@sarajw/109994451332222396)

If you're going to @btconf in Düsseldorf or #CSSDay in Amsterdam then you can totally have one, or several!

Here's a preview, they'll be about 3x3 cm:

Chris Campe of @BerlinLetters inadvertently became a protest sign influencer after painting some protest signs for herself to use.

She leant into it, and started doing workshops on how to draw effective protest signs.
