A thing happens to me on Mastodon that never did on Facebook or Twitter. When I’m not around for a few days I feel kinda bad that I’m not liking/boosting all the cool things yall are writing and making.
I’ve been listening to this ODESZA album as an afternoon pick-me-up.
I may have purchased a new domain name.
OH: “I should have run for president this year, since I turned 35 last year, but it just seemed like too much of a commitment.”
I need ideas for my About page on my personal site. What are some interesting ones yall have seen? (Feel free to say your own lol)
This Last Week Tonight segment about Medicaid is spot on. I’m not too dissimilar from one of the disabled women featured in this segment.
I rely on caregivers to get out of bed every day. I’m able to work only because I have access to this care.
But I’m always worried that one day I’ll find out I’m losing everything. It nearly happened one time on a technicality. Fortunately I was able to course correct. But many aren’t so lucky.
No one: …
Logitech: Here’s a mouse with AI
Which I think is awesome, just to clarify.
I mean suddenly every open graph image I see is dynamic. But yall all do it differently. Wild.
How are yall doing these dynamic open graph images? I’m porting/re-aligning my website to @eleventy and I’d like to upgrade my default boring open graph image.
Wow turns out I don’t even need a counter. You can straight up style list numbers with ::marker. What a time to be alive!
One day I’ll be able to implement a CSS counter without looking everything up, but today is not that day.
Oh snap EchoFeed is out! https://echofeed.app
What do people use for supplying user styles to webpages?
I know about the browser extensions, Stylus (ie, Stylish without spyware) and Stylebot.
And I know Arc has Boosts.
I modified the big chonker scrollbar to be semi-transparent. It blends into a website’s existing colors a bit better now.

I'm about to implement a universal filter that strips out the numbering. If that's not the right approach somebody stop me.
11ty peeps, say I have the following:
pages/
- 10-my-first-page.md
- 20-my-second-page.md
- 30-my-third-page.md
I'm setting the permalink thusly:
permalink: "{{ page.filePathStem }}/"
What is the easiest way to get 11ty to ignore the number in the slug that I am using just for sorting purposes? I would like the permalink to be, for example:
/pages/my-first-page/index.html
But currently I get:
/pages/10-my-first-page/index.html
I’m about to go down a rabbit-hole reading about Preact signals. This readme is good but I would also like to see the explain-it-like-I’m-five version.
