Life is difficult for people with severe autism (e.g. early childhood). Due to the increasing number of misdiagnoses, self-diagnoses, romanticization and constant trivialization, life is becoming even more difficult for these people. The opinion that autism is not a disease but a buzzword for strange people leads to real autistic people being denied the disease. It is often said: “They should just try harder or pull themselves together”. Please don't use the word autism in an inflated way - it harms those affected.

In a maximally earnest way — to what degree should we be sure these language harms are real on net? Are there data as opposed to anecdata? (Of course many phenomena are real without data; we can just be more confident in cases with data)

Even worse: social media postings. There are no semantics at all. People use emojis and so to structure the plain text


Since 5 years everybody says Jquery us no longer necessary. But really baisc function like this take a long time for replacing Jquery


jQuery does not sanitize HTML. This is why jQuery is no longer necessary, even if people think it is.


There is the jquery bashing again. let sanitizedHTML = $('<div>').text(unsanitizedHTML).html();


You can 100% do that same thing without jQuery. It's not even complicated.

And that is not what the new .setHTML() does.


CSS is changing so fast. I guess we will see Doom in CSS shortly


This may feel true if you've re-engaged with CSS's progression in the last ~5–7 years. In reality, the last big qualitative leap was Grid in 2017.

This project is based on just one new proposed rule which won't be available in all mainstream browsers until 2027-28, and won't be safe for production use until close to the end of the decade.


In reality, CSS's big changes are a drumbeat pounding monthly: https://developer.chrome.com/blog/css-wrapped-2023 https://chrome.dev/css-wrapped-2024/

Of note from 2023: subgrids, :has, container queries, nesting... And in 2022, cascade layers (plus <style scoped>, I mean @scope, I mean :scope).


The last big thing was grid? Sorry but there are big things coming to css nearly every month. Container queries, @scope ... and so on


To make bluesky really lift of and become widely accepted for decentral social media there should be a simple solution to self host your postings. E.g. something you can easily host on a webhosting with php or so. The docker container provided is great but one step to high for broad usage.


Yeah, it needs to be easier to do. It's already getting more accessible with tools like https://pdsmoover.com/ and communities like Blacksky offering hosting. Ideally there would be many such providers.


Is this a US propaganda article to make greenland join the USA?


Same can be done wirh freshrss


If you're serious about RSS curation and reading, FreshRSS really is the Swiss Army Knife. It does so much, including this“any site/page to RSS”. My favorite feature is that it makes refreshes in your feed reader client pretty much instant, which is such a huge quality of life improvement.


The implementation is not very good because you can not copy the link generated from the alert. Use this to copy to clipboard: https://gist.github.com/ulrischa/405b93646a0114986575000dcc0...


You are awesome, I came to highlight it and there is already the answer. Appreciated.


In windows it should be ctrl+c like always for alert()s- even if the UI doesn't show it. Unless "modern" UI has broken that feature.


I like the idea of using custom elements instead of div with class and being able to gradually enhance it to a Webcomponent if needed.

What I think is a bad practice is the nesting of selectors to avoid classes. This leads to a high specificity and to a tight coupling with the html structure.

A more modern approach to reduce (not avoid) classes is the @scope and @layer rules. They have a hughe potential for designing components in css.
