@matuzo @heydon is this the web equivalent of doing the "I've been cancelled" media tour?

It does seem like your only option at this point is pivoting to the far right, so ‍️

I'm not holding up well.

I wanted to be more clear in my #btconf talk, that when i talk about the cascade, i mean a resistance to fascism. I mean that politics live inside our tools.

but i took out the slides where i say it out loud. And Im sad about that. But also knew I wouldn't make it through the talk. I couldn't say "I'm illegal in two states already, and worse is coming"

In case you thought i was just talking about the web. I'm sorry I couldn't say it more clearly.

@matuzo Absolutely required, no question

I'm still here, and still trans, and the plan is the same: take care of each other.

How do we read the demographics of a survey? How do we know if it's representative of the industry? And how do those questions impact our takeaways?

I don't have the answers, but after looking at State of CSS, I have a lot of questions:

@AmeliaBR what's the point of gummies if you don't share them, after all

No kids came by. Does anyone know how to get the razor blades out of leftover chocolate? I don't want this all going to waste.

@sarajw @matthiasott @csstricks 🥳

@westbrook I don't know about any discussion like that. What's the advantage for you over

```css
@ scope ([use-the-scope]) {
:scope {}
}
```html
<any-thing use-the-scope></any-thing>
```

?

If cool URIs don't change, maybe they shouldn't be managed by landlords and rented on a year-to-year basis.

(it seems to me that avoiding link rot should be treated as a platform issue, not a slogan for scolding people when plans inevitably change)

@[email protected] @matthiasott @matuzo @[email protected] Yeah, I think we're waiting on someone (???Chris Cameron???) to review mapping functions?

I would expect specified value to be unmapped, but I don't know in practice which is actually more reliable (either for authors or implementors). Could try speccing whichever you think is better? But yeah, I think we need to get this on an agenda again?

@matthiasott @matuzo @[email protected] @[email protected] Browsers clip rather than mapping because it's easier, and matches better what images/canvas do.

The proposed solution is mapping into rec2020 (an approximation of colors that could someday be rendered by screens) and clipping from there. That ensures forward compatibility, removes mapping based on monitors, and still gives better results than currently.

(But then everything went silent, and i don't know if there's been any progress behind the scenes)

A happy Miriam to all who celebrate this ninth annual day of being called Miriam.

I am Miriam, and so can you! ️‍⚧️

There's been an ongoing wave of fediverse mention spam, but only one person on our server reporting an onslaught.

A moment of silence for our sacrificial member, standing alone in the breach. There will be songs about @matuzo The Spammed, protector of front end social.

(also @estelle The Banisher, a faster mod than I am)

@hrefna is that a typo, or am i blissfully ignorant of this one?

@octothorpe @jsit I have a vast wealth of local friends who could drag me down that path. But I will never give in! (maybe)

@octothorpe @jsit I found a Denver Area Piano Group, so… That would probably lead me down a better path?

I know this is a Bad question that will lead me down the Path of Darkness. But…

Where do you start with mechanical keyboards? What I really mean is: where do you go next after having one for a bit, and thinking "yeah, this but really customized to my needs"? What do you try next? How do you test switches? It seems like the learning curve is steep and involves a lot of exploratory purchasing?

The C(H)SS proposal was sent Oct 10, 1994 (30 years ago Thursday). It's a fun read:

Cascading HTML Style Sheets -- A Proposal

(www.w3.org)

Oct 13, Netscape announced a surprise public beta with new (controversial) HTML like <center>, <font>, & the `align` attribute for 'floating' images. Also my favorite `noshade` to remove shadows from <hr>.

I can't find the announcement, only the replies:
