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)
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.
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.
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.
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.
