When I asked Bing AI to recall my previous request, they gave me a meditation request I had never made. Then they said that it was from another user.
Indie open-source is a shit show. The core-js author (with 200M monthly npm downloads) received $1K monthly from Tidelift until they cut him off.
I can't stand such parasites that promise to make open-source sustainable but, in fact, tax it.

Microsoft has always had a great philosophy around accessibility and introduced me to the idea of temporary disability. It’s a great way to broaden one’s perspective on how much impact making your product more accessible has.
It took me a while to understand the difference between parameters and arguments in JavaScript:
paramater - what the function expects to get, the "variables"
argument - what is passed to function, the values

A number of folks have reached out to us over the past few months asking how they could help Mastodon out. Unfortunately, we haven't had the capacity to accept those kind offers at the time.
If you're interested in getting involved as a volunteer, please fill out this form (and share it around!) so we know who could help with what. (There is plenty that needs doing!)

The @Iconfactory has 16.1k “followers” on Twitter and currently about 4.1k here on Mastodon. Our last post received a whopping 9 likes and 3 retweets on Twitter and an amazing 287 favorites and 163 boosts here on Mastodon.
This has been said before by many people but Twitter isn’t worth your time any more. People don’t SEE what you’re saying there, even if they actually follow you. The service is in big, BIG trouble.
Also, thx for following @Iconfactory here, we appreciate all of you 💕🖖
Aligning to the center seems like the most popular, but it bugs me that I have to move the mouse so much to the left to navigate.
What's the best wide-screen layout for readability?
- No width limit
- Limited width, aligned to left
- Limited width, aligned to the center

Happy to welcome and unofficially verify Phil Schiller on Mastodon: @pschiller
They’ll let anyone in here. Literally!

Looks like Apple is just as interested in growing Mastodon as the rest of us 👀
I'm working on the date-fns.org update for the upcoming v3 release, and I'm going overboard with small details like adding a search to the constants module doc.

The fact you're looking at this on an ActivityPub-enabled Fediverse app demonstrates that a community of focused individuals can create a global-scale network around an open standard that rivals (or, frankly, beats) pretty much anything capitalism could create, even at its 'best'.
And these communities create without profit motive - just because they share a vision and think it'd be a good thing. All they require is sustainability, not exploitative profit.
I think that's worth celebrating.
AI just wrote an infinite loop for me. Thanks, AI. Also, now I'm not worried about humanity anymore. Mfs will hang themselves before they enslave us.
