I discovered <kbd> today. I simply do not know how I wasn’t aware of it until this point. This is awesome!

Does anyone else beat their keys like they owe you money when trying to get into the BIOS?
Congrats to the GNOME team for the release of version 46!
Nothing revolutionary but so many fixes, tweaks, and quality of life improvements. Bravo!
I’ve noticed what seems to be a growing distaste for Git in my frontend development feeds on Bluesky.
I must say that once I got past the initial learning curve, I’ve found it quite nice.
Hey, err, web devs on Windows. How do you guys test for WebKit?
As far as I can see, not a single native Windows WebKit browser exists…
If you ever feel useless, just be glad you aren’t <Button> in React Native.
Just found out about WordPress’s excellent funky_javascript_fix.

There is a problem with the legal system when organisations can throw around their weight and money to crush innovation and community-driven projects under the guise of protecting intellectual property.

Considering the amount of far right content that keeps making its way into my YouTube recommendations, I now understand how so many people end up falling down the path of hate.
YouTube needs to do better and moderate its platform.
I’m especially sickened by the sheer amount of anti-trans content that enters my YouTube recommendations. Videos that outright suggest that people assault transgender individuals.
Yesterday, I saw a video from a literal Nazi. His content was promoted and had a large number of views. He engages in marches around cities, urging others to join him in his hate campaigns. This really shouldn’t be sent to my front page, or anyone’s, for that matter.
I created an alternate account on another device, on another network. This account had no links to my own and a fresh install of its OS. I received the same content nearly immediately. I found YouTube’s Shorts feature pushed it particularly hard.
I also noticed that YouTube’s “news” tab promoted Sky News above all other broadcasters.
News arguably shouldn’t be treated differently on the platform at all, but to promote a network with such bias and prejudice above all others is inexcusable.
Remember not to engage with this content. Move on as soon as you realise what it is. Don’t dislike it. Don’t comment condemning it. Move on.
The more you interact, the more is promoted.
YouTube, you must do better. This isn’t acceptable. Stop this hate bait and get it off the platform.
With the increasing popularity of folding phones I hope we’ll see a mod that plays Mario’s “Goodbye” sound byte from Super Mario 64 DS when closing the lid.
It’s really hard to comprehend how much damage the mongrel Rupert Murdoch has done unless you sit down and look at his publications.
Endless far right slop riddled with engagement bait. The so called ‘news’ sells anger, not information.
