Ok US residents, incredibly unofficial poll time!

The Biden Administration is bringing back free COVID 19 home test kits available by mail. Did you hear about this from:

I usually just post random dumb shit, but I feel the need to address something serious. I keep seeing white people respond to legitimate criticism from Black people with advice about how easy it is to set up your own instance. Let’s set aside for a second the fact that you’re telling a marginalized group to bear the emotional labor of moderating their own space. You’re also basically regurgitating the same “separate but equal” bullshit set down by the court in Plessy v Ferguson. #BlackMastodon

@shanselman to see how well news spreads on the network compared to a centralized network of Twitter where something like this might get tons of shares. The ability of Mastodon to share important news wide is not something that I've seen a lot of evidence of.

@brianleroux The network definitely skews older which can mean experienced, but I think the real difference is the absence of people clout chasing. That along with a higher character count leads to more technical discussion.

Using #vim is easy once you learn a few basic keybindings.

h and l - move left and right
j and k - move down and up
η and λ - move backwards and forwards through time
ξ and κ - translation through additional temporal dimension (if applicable)
ᚻ, ᛄ, ᚳ and ᛚ - moving left, down, up, and right through celestial spheres
𐤄 and 𐤋 - switch deity to pantheon member to left or right
ᛄ - supplicate to chosen deity
ᚳ - challenge chosen deity (dangerous)
:q - exit

@shanselman will be very interesting to see how a post like this spreads on Mastodon's network.

@graynorton @jyasskin make sense. I was thinking more about this after my last post. Makes sense that it doesn't work and even more sense that it has come up before, even if there's no definitive resolution.

@jyasskin complete guess but my only thought is that most of the folks using fragments like that are doing anchors in Markdown so it hasn't come up for web components?

I should elaborate on this somewhat. Once upon a time, someone said to me, “Don’t judge someone by their errors. Judge them by how they fix them.” That’s been a cornerstone of my thinking ever since.

Whenever there’s an issue with #Hachyderm, it’s resolved expediently, and the team is very open and transparent about what they’re doing and why. Those of you who’ve worked in the tech industry for an appreciable amount of time know how rare that is. It’s worth celebrating.

@jyasskin well that seems like a crazy shortcoming. Shocked that doesn't seem to have come up before and been addressed. I guess there's not a convenient way to have the fragment break out of the shadowDom or be exposed somehow?

@zachleat can't say that I've ever seen that come up in glancing through the Next docs which is (IMO) a problem. If you're going to collect telemetry data on your tool it should be opt-in and very apparent upfront (that does not mean having to check the logs).

I see from the replies that Nuxt and Ember each collect data (though with different presets). Has anyone checked about Angular though? They would be the other big framework of interest.

@molly0xfff how on earth did O'Leary get included in this panel? What exactly are his qualifications other than "TV Money Guy"TM

I’m curious how many folks understand that Next.js collects telemetry data (and data collection is opt-out)

nextjs.org/telemetry

How common is this in frameworks? Eleventy definitely doesn’t have anything like this.

"Pronouns" in conservative circles is a dog whistle. They fixate on pronouns so they can say transgender people are bad without bumping into hate speech rules. Mocking them for using pronouns themselves or not knowing what pronouns are isn't the burn you think it is.

Have fun with circling all the pronouns in screenshots of their tweets if that's your jam, but remember that you are not the intended audience. It's messaging for others on the far-right and it's way worse than flunking English class

@danhon oh boy this is extremely relevant to me at the moment. I've got no problem letting my Twitter account drift away into digital rot but am having a harder time with this account. Why? Just b/c it says when I joined? Very silly. Why should it not be ephemeral just like spoken conversations?
