What was that alternative to Quill for rich text editing components again?
Did you know: Firefox actually has some pretty neat selection capabilities!
For text: hold CTRL to select multiple separate ranges of text
For tables: hold CTRL to select a square of multiple cells, or CTRL+SHIFT to select entire rows/columns/tables

Heck yeah, kinky photos should have image descriptions too. Disabled people are often de-sexualized (it's part of infantalizing us), but a lot of us are goddam perverts. Help us out. ;)

If Mastodon is the promise of the early internet, what would be the Geocities of the fediverse? A service for creating microinstances where you can be as tacky as you want, where you can break shit knowing you only break it for yourself?
I wonder how much of this has to do with the bigger character limits, leaving space for people to actually present their projects *without* needing to capture it into some snazzy marketing slogan soundbite
One of the less obvious things I really appreciate about fedi: I see so many more cool personal *projects*, rather than just "startups" or "side gigs" or whatever other capitalist venture.

fediblock, eris from disqordia
if you need some proof that eris is a unpleasant individual --- make your own choices whether this is #fediblock worthy, but note that i know some instances defederated from disqordia due to the below, among other things:
this thread is cached correctly here, on the external server, but eris' original toots were lost when the old disqordia instance went down

Min van VWS gaat onderzoek doen naar mensen die de tandarts mijden vanwege de kosten.
Ik begrijp niet goed wat hij wil onderzoeken. Ik kan de conclusie al wel vertellen:
Een deel van de Nederlanders is te arm om de tandarts/mondhygiënist te kunnen betalen en gaan dus niet. Een slecht gebit heeft invloed op je algemene gezondheid, welzijn en je sociale positie.
Oplossing: Alle tandzorg in het basispakket zonder verhoging van de premie. #ArmoedeInNederland

for folks who don't know, google specifically has like, the Most Advanced C++ Bug Catching/Mitigation Tools, to the point that they *took over the development of clang*
just using rust instead, even with 'unsafe' parts, completely blew all of that out of the water! holy shit!

obsessed with this article by the Android team. just looking at the graphs it's like "rust go up, exploits go down" https://security.googleblog.com/2022/12/memory-safe-languages-in-android-13.html
also holy shit Android has a lot of rust code now
It really annoys me when people go "well, big companies are complicated, they are not single entities with consistent decisionmaking" in response to criticism of such companies and their actions
As if that's somehow a justification, rather than a clear sign that they've clearly grown to a scale where they are unaccountable and fundamentally cannot be trusted, and without ever asking the question of "wait but then how can we ever hold anybody accountable for anything?"

misskey-forkbomb.cf should be suspended and purged not just on Misskey and its forks, but also all other software instances because it puts a lot of empty noise into all databases.
Though I guess that if it was gonna happen in any show, this was always a pretty good candidate
Well, I sure didn't expect to find "OpenStreetMap contributors" in the credits of a TV show

not now sweetie, daddy is trying to match the font that a corporation uses in their promotional materials so that he can abuse them in their own language

You know what's really lovely about having a post favorited by someone here on Mastodon? It means something I've said resonated with someone. And that's pretty damned priceless as far as I'm concerned. So, yeah, favoriting doesn't 'do' anything except make someone feel good. Isn't that reason enough?
