@jaredwhite why does the marketing blitz have to be on the birdsite? Can't you just do marketing in other places? (serious questions, I don't know anything about marketing).

There are tons of sites that do courses these days and CSS is something that a lot of devs struggle with. I don't think the interest level will have changed at all.

I wish I could attach a CW to someone else's post when boosting. I often find interesting Ukraine content without a CW and end up favouriting instead, which limits a post's reach. #Mastodon #CW

*PLEASE BOOST*

Hey phone #photography and #iOS #app folks:
I’m trying to de-Google my life as much as practically possible. While I like the UI and end results of Snapseed, it’s owned by Google and therefore has to go as well.

Any suggestions for apps that could fit the bill instead?

CSS :where() :is() the difference?

—
":where() ignores specificity;
:is() respects and increases specificity"

Feels very meta that twitter itself is the main character on twitter this week

@randomwalker it always seemed like there's more emphasis on exploring the tool than what the tool can be used for in traditional CS.

I think projects that place the primary emphasis on the individual are one way to address this disparity. Then again I'm someone who comes from a humanities background, not a CS one so take my generalizations about CS with a healthy dose of skepticism.

Looking for an Instance that is a good home for a Black queer feminist scientist who cusses and talks politics. I’m seeing a lot of places with what I would consider to be excessive content warning requirements 😵‍💫 And other instances where I simply don’t know what the admin considers to be racism. Like, are we allowed to talk about whiteness?

This is why I left Twitter and why I don't think Twitter is a safe environment, *especially* for the most vulnerable:

"Everyone here should also know that our CISO, Chief Privacy Officer and Chief Compliance Officer ALL resigned last night. This news will be buried in the return-to-office drama. I believe that is intentional... I do not believe he [Elon] cares about the human rights activists. the dissidents, our users in un-monetizable regions..."

@heath@mastodon.cloud @mikegalsworthy I'm not sure of the underlying mechanics of fetching updates but I have noticed that opening up a profile in the browser gives a much more up-to-date view of a profile.

@mosu @JayJustice one of the most satisfying feedback loops of gameplay I have ever experienced

@evangreer @mmasnick every time I think they've hit rock bottom they keep on plumbing new depths. It's almost impressive in a trainwreck sort of way.

@JayJustice I mean if you're gonna play I feel like you HAVE to play with biotics! That's one of the defining characteristics of the series. I definitely LOVED playing Vanguard, especially in ME3. (Got the collectors edition of that one 😉 )
