Hyperlink text should make sense when read out of context. Screen reader users can navigate from link to link, and can listen to links in a list. When navigating this way, only the link is read. So "click here" or "read more" won't make sense.

Praise be! Bike facility maintenance is now a thing one can choose in the Find It Fix It tool for ! https://sdotblog.seattle.gov/2024/11/20/bike-facility-maintenance-reporting-find-it-fix-it-app/

It’s interesting how the tone of the news reporting on NPR hasn’t changed one iota.

“Nonchalant” is how I would describe it.

“Today, Texas announced it is donating the land to build the first of many camps for the mass deportations.”

Ho hum. Just another normal day in America. Carry on.

Banning kids from social media just means they lie about their age and get no protection at all.

endless reams continue to be written about bluesky here

stop announcing you're leaving this or joining that, just do it already

many of you are big accounts, which leads me to conclude you are just searching for more attention. followers number up: yay! down: boo!

it is as if we suffer a cultural cringe here about the fediverse's supposed worthiness as a social communucation medium.

the fediverse is more than fit for the purpose... 🙄

I'm beginning to think that I should start writing programmers reference guides for each major API in VM/OS.

I wish I could use RustDocs for that purpose, but that would apply to the kernel implementation, and not serve as a reference for people looking to write application code.

@vertigo wow!!! lovely! i can't believe i didn't recognise it straight away!

@vertigo perhaps a silly question, but your terminal font is amazing! --what font is it? 🙏

keeping a jar of candy on my desk. any time I write any code and think "that'll never scale" I get a piece of candy and move on with my day. figure that might help me reprogram myself.

With my rough idea I explored yesterday of what collapse-era computing might look like, what sort of OS would fit?

Most places who care should be able to build 1970s if not 1980s-era chips, maybe even 2000-era. If we can continue obtaining wafers, not guaranteed!

The biggest challenge would be designing large RAM, & other datastorage.

Keyboard input & audio output would probably be the most feasible I/O, with mice & vector-monitors being secondary.

1/2?

do you think wario is into wasm
