Update: moved this to my new writing site so there’s a new URL.
Every hashtag on every post on every platform should ALWAYS be pascal case. I wrote this to illustrate how screenreaders read hashtags based on their case.
It’s a small thing that all of us can do to build a more inclusive, accessible internet for all. Please take the time to use pascal case.
I just wanted to say how much I appreciate all that you do for fedi. Truly. I’m not sure how many people stop to say thank you, and I wanted to make sure you heard it.
Y’all. This is a known spammer who is picking up momentum. We’re seeing LOTS of accounts using the same name and avatar. But the bio varies from instance to instance. And a minority of them don’t have an avatar, but still use the name.
If you see these accounts, please report them. We’re trying to wipe them out, but we can’t until we know about them.
Like I needed another reason to fanboy on Pedro Pascal. Din Djarin? Joel Miller?
Earlier this year he posted about trans rights on social media. Trolls showed up in his comments, and he decided to get up in there and troll them back. Zero fucks on his replies.
This is what allyship looks like. We love to see it.
I was reading about those physical passkeys (like Yubico). My primary hangup is that a tiny USB stick can be easily lost/damaged. That seems like a huge risk.
What I’ve read about these passkeys seems ambiguous at best. Is there a strong argument for their use? If so, how does one backup a hardware passkey to mitigate the risk of loss/damage?
This was real. It was from 2018 when Donald called African countries “shit holes.” And this is how you run a news publication.
I’m exhausted by the journalistic complacency about this not-normal fascist totalitarianism. The people with pens and paper MUST tell it like it is. We need more of this.
Today is International Day of the World’s Indigenous Peoples. So here’s some history you may not know about.
Lacrosse is a colonial version of a Native American game called Dehoñtjihgwa’és.
The French condemned it as too violent and noted it fostered the indigenous religions they sought to eradicate. Lacrosse is a lighter, white people’s version.
Bloodywood is a band from New Delhi. They blend metal with traditional Indian folk instruments. It sounds hokey, but it’s done brilliantly.
This video for “Tadka” is badass. It’s a song about cooking, family, and respect for women/elders. It’s everything you wouldn’t expect from a metal song.
But it slays. If you love metal, get ready to move your body.
Mark Wyner Won’t Comply :vm:
