Spent the last week recreating a ten year old website layout using modern HTML and CSS.
So much is possible with vanilla #CSS now that evergreen browsers are the norm.
Also didn't need to use any heavy CSS frameworks or libraries. Just Sass and a small library called OpenProps with BEM classes to organise the stylesheets.
We have a deal on the common charger! 🇪🇺
This means more savings for EU consumers and less waste for the planet:
🔌 mobile phones, tablets, cameras… will all use USB type C
🔌 harmonised fast-charging technology
🔌 unbundling of sale of chargers
Disappointing to see price increases for #DigitalOcean droplets starting in July.

I’ve been doing great #RemoteWork for the last few months. It’s especially effective when you have access to superior coffee at home. ☕️🏡

This is a great post covering something I wish I could completely break with myself (I still have LinkedIn and Twitter accounts). Breaking away is hard enough, breaking away as we approach a recession where many of us might need these accounts is even harder. I commend anyone that can do so. https://axbom.com/bye-bye-algorithm/

Hi fediverse! Boosts appreciated on this one.
I’m part of a co-op building a platform for artists to sell art without getting exploited. I’ve been working on it for a while but there’s a lot of work to do and I could use some help. A ton of the main features are in place, but there’s still some big gaps and a lot of polish left before it can launch.
The platform is fully open source and developed in the open. It’s built on Phoenix/Elixir and Tailwindcss. Our co-op is already incorporated and established and it’s open to members that want to actually commit but you don’t need to be a member to contribute or help.
Does this sound interesting? I’d love some help! I’m also happy to answer questions. And no, you don’t need to know Elixir already. It’s pretty easy to learn for the things you’d be using it for. Even some design help would be welcome. Feel free to reply here or DM me!
Obi Wan Kenobi spoiler.

Perhaps this will lead to Obi Wan deciding to use his real last name while in exile.
Reading @Gargron's "Cage the Mastodon" blog post from 2018:

I can see the reasoning behind holding back from implementing features found in other platforms. A quote retweet from a more popular channel can be useful in drawing attention but also creates a power imbalance in the conversation.

After the 2019 Christchurch mosque shootings, where 51 people were killed by a white supremacist, New Zealand immediately took action. Almost all semi-automatic weapons and assault riles are now banned.

I'm also a web developer who codes in JavaScript (and CoffeeScript, back when it was more widely used).
Making mastodon.coffee my new home in the Fediverse. 
Mastodon currently doesn't support importing toots due to technical limitations, but there wasn't many in my case.
