I’ve been coding long enough that I still think of that as a fairly new thing in JS.

If programming.dev is down, it’s helpful to be able to see @meta@programming.dev from other instances and check for planned downtime, etc.

I’m thinking more like using a CMS or Wordpress by people who don’t consider themselves developers.

I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s some service that gave out shortened links by default and people just used those everywhere. Lots of people are clueless about how URLs work, and authoring HTML often means filling in a form.

[The customer] said that Webflow’s sales representatives were uncooperative when asked for more details. He quoted a sales rep saying, “No because you’ll tweet about it.”

Wow, that says a lot about how Webflow views its own policies.

I’d agree, for the same reasons. Communicating intent is definitely one of the main things that separates mediocre from amazing developers (and software can’t check that).

It’s interesting to consider a tool that does all of levels 1-3 (and more) as a way to verify that a style refactoring hasn’t changed logic. I assume that’s what they meant when they wrote “modifications that were supposed to be no-ops but aren’t”.

Or perhaps we just have different opinions.

You mean holding the scroll-wheel and dragging moves around, yes? (And the scroll-wheel was for zooming.) I think I’d accidentally triggered the colour picker accidentally, since I did find that I often had black when I was expecting something else - now I know why!

Oh, really? I thought middle-click was for scrolling.

I didn’t love it tbh. I had the canvas up in half of the screen and was doing something else but would look over too early then just be waiting for x seconds for my next pixel.

Extra editing features:

• Colour picker (from canvas)
• Show symbols/numbers on palette when using that template display style (e.g. label colour 23 so you don’t have to count)

Congratulations on an excellent event, and I look forward to next year’s. The codebase should be more settled then and hopefully you’ll manage to get a decent amount of sleep, unlike this time.

Also, happy birthday!

One effect of this is that someone steadily editing got more pixels than someone editing in batches, which felt like a feature when defending against trolls.

designing something that Mozilla and Meta are simultaneously happy with is a good indicator we’ve hit the mark.

I think that’s true. I trust Mozilla, based on their statements and their actions, and I distrust Facebook for those same reasons. Compromise is the only path forward, despite those who argue we should reject anything that’s not perfect.

I was quite happy not doing this this time - I’ve moved on.

Voting on Lemmy isn’t private (and is probably for sale on closed platforms) so just upvoting an opinion might be enough to get you on some lists.

I’ve just started on this, I should figure out how to do templates.

Thunderbird on desktop, although I don’t love it.

FairEmail on Android.

If there is anything I know about technology, it’s that moving everything to The Cloud is the current trend.

Currently it’s shoehorning AI into everything, surely?

But good stuff, always nice to see pointless bad ideas proved possible!
