They smelled like an origami bird thrown into a pit.

Sometimes I think I should consolidate all my tech writings -- every blog series, every class or tutorial I've written -- and have it bound and printed as a book.

Not to sell, of course, just to sit there, on my desk, saying,

"Hey...You wrote this thing."

Okay, so Patreon/Librepay are:

I also updated the about page with blocked instances

“Stop Using CSS Selectors for Non-CSS” https://css-tricks.com/stop-using-css-selectors-non-css/

The advice is not to hang behaviour (i.e. JS and related) off the selectors you use for styles but off custom attribute selectors ('data-'). It's good advice.

Are we OMEMO yet? Tracking #OMEMO support in #XMPP clients.

(I wonder what the remaining issue with ChatSecure is? The tracking ticket is closed, apparently successfully.)

I would personally like to apologize for the antispam movement of the late 90s and early 00s. We did more harm than good. Nothing we did reduced the amount of spam significantly, and we created the centralization of email, where not only does your personal email belong to a monopolist, but to have an email newsletter, you must hire another monopolist to send it.

I'm sorry.

But then again, too few to mention.

There's a free speech maximalist position on Mastodon that goes something like this: the promise of federation is that a user on any instance can communicate with a user on any other instance. Instance blocks break this promise, and should therefore only be used in extreme cases such as illegal content or spam.

I want to point out that this position views federated social networks as *only a performance optimization* of a centralized social network. 1/?
