@hongminhee I never really followed any library projects on any social media before so I have no frame of reference for what they would post 😅
I *have* followed FOSS projects before, but they were always "end-user facing" projects and so the things being shown were often a lot more... visual? than I would expect to be possible for a library project

@hongminhee Hmm, as someone who's working on quite a few libraries (eg. https://wiki.slightly.tech/books/projects/page/what-are-promistreams as an example), I'm curious, what sorts of things would you expect those accounts to post?
@trysdyn I *think* this behaviour is one of the things that's turned off in strict mode? But I'm not 100% sure

Free texture websites for 3D artists. I replaced a link with a new one: **OnlyGFX**. I believe cc0-textures' security was compromised, not sure, but playing it safe for now.

@trysdyn (There's a pretty big collection of very cursed old browser stuff that we're all collectively pretending doesn't exist, because Never Break The Web means that it cannot *actually* be removed)
@trysdyn Your guess is exactly correct - this used to be a more common practice in the bad old IE6 days, if I remember correctly, especially with form elements, but at some point people realized that this was generating bugs like nobody's business and so it got functionally deprecated by the broader webdev community
@hongminhee As in software libraries or as in book libraries?

omg this is awesome!
There's a spot in town marked in Google Maps as "Turtle Log".
It is what it says, just a cool log where turtles hang out, but since it's tagged as a place I can ask the satnav for directions to "turtle log" and it'll work.
@quixoticgeek @mwl (I think I've argued with literal hundreds of these people on the startup side of the Node.js world by now, so these conclusions are not based on a small sample size either)
@quixoticgeek @mwl Guy runs a hosting startup, so I'm not surprised. This sort of 'advice' has been going around in startup circles for a very, very long time, unfortunately...
The people giving this advice also invariably have extremely limited (and often no) experience with self-hosting things, and systematically overestimate the difficulty of Linux administration tasks, and *underestimate* the difficulty of interacting with SaaS/PaaS APIs and dashboards.
It's like the people arguing "AWS makes hosting so much simpler than running your own servers" and then hiring specialized "AWS engineers", ie. sysadmins who can only work with vendor-specific systems...

Boosting this again for a final push:
Most petitions don't have much impact, but if this European Citizens Initiative on banning conversion therapy reaches 1 million signatures by Saturday it will mean that it will be discussed at the European Parliament.
200,000 people have signed in the last 24 hours and it only needs 190,000 to reach the target.
Please sign and share. https://eci.ec.europa.eu/043/public/#/
@quinn With "serious funding", I'm more thinking "give bags of money to maintainers to keep FOSS projects running that the EU as an institution does not have an immediate interest in", rather than funding EU infrastructure that *happens* to be FOSS.
There's *some* of that, in the form of NLNet, but it's absolute peanuts compared to eg. tech startup funding schemes.

PSA: you're allowed to play and enjoy games on the easiest settings. This is your free time and you're not less of a gamer for playing games the way they are the most enjoyable for you.
Brought to you by me who has gotten back into Raft on the "peaceful" setting. I don't want to fight sharks, I just want to fish for resources and build. 🤷♀️ So that's what I'm doing.
