Own a domain. Put a blog on it. have your own e-mail address you@yourdomain, even if it is just a forwarding address. Own your digital identity. If you need help with that, call me, message me, meet me or one of thousands of others who already are doing this. It's our internet, if we act accordingly. Don't be afraid!

An excellent read about Monotropism and flow state for children:
"Embracing Autistic Children’s Monotropic Flow States"

"Everyone is failing! Someone must _______ immediately!"
Comrade I don't know how to tell you this in a non-asshole way, but "someone" is *you*. That's where we're at. Find people doing the work you want to see and help them.

Welcome this episode of "Ask Mastodon".
I'm looking for a good web based RSS reader.
1) Web based
2) Not Feedly
3) Not self-hosted
4) Not filled with AI bullshit
Please read criteria carefully before replying.
I *really* didn't want to stuff the menu full of fully-rendered forms for different operations, hence needing a popover that only asks for details when the user actually wants to take a particular action

Good morning! On this first Tuesday in February, you are all invited to read through Wikipedia’s List of common misconceptions (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_common_misconceptions) per ancient xkcd custom.
Also, the 'cloned' text in the wrapper element is in an aria-hidden element, of course; I haven't quite figured out the correct ARIA roles for the expanding button (given that it's kind of a button but also kind of a summary). Suggestions welcome!

TIL that the reddit community "Eyebleach" is about sharing cute things to cleanse your eyes / psyche, not about posting things that require you to cleanse your eyes / psyche / take psychic damage
The trick is that the <details> is contained within a wrapper div with identical styling to the <summary> (ie. the 'button') and identical text contents, except the wrapper div is invisible and position:relative, with the <details> being position:absolute and anchored against the wrapper's top left corner.
This means that the wrapper essentially 'reserves' the space for the button, while the <details> element can freely expand without disrupting anything because its absolute positioning takes it out of the content flow
@rtn@chaos.social The ongoing saga where they insist on digging deeper and deeper in their accusations against GtS developers, conveniently omitting the part where they were ignoring the robots.txt, while continuing to boast about how much they're personally doing for the Fediverse (which they're really not)
A lot of CSS hackery later, and I've managed to construct a popover dialog using a <details> element that doesn't disrupt the button order and also doesn't require any JS to work!

fellow miners & crafters, I took the time to write down all my minecraft related bookmarks that I've been using over the years.
from websites where you can download resourcepacks, datapacks, and mods - all the way to tools with which you can generate maps, commands, block-palettes and more!
make sure to check out the respective project's linked patreon & ko-fi sites if you have some money to spare to keep those tools alive 
@bananas And I say this as someone who is extremely stubborn and has gotten a lot of stuff done that way (but crucially I actually introspect and identify the cases where being stubborn is a bad idea...)
@bananas The guy really needs to learn that "being an insufferable and arrogant ass" is not actually a contributing factor to getting stuff done, and in fact does the opposite

re: uspol, trans, prisons (MORE good news)
BREAKING: A federal judge has blocked President Trump's executive order forcibly to detransition trans women inmates and transfer them to men's prisons, citing the 8th amendment prohibition on cruel and unusual punishment.
