A Mississippi man sustained multiple mental and emotional injuries after a run in with CORS.
He was heard moments ago yelling, “ACCESS CONTROL ALLOW YOUR MOM,” after which he was seen flipping his computer desk.
Said the man after a calm exhale, “I am now ready for the sweet peace of death.”
This story is developing.
I added @zachleat’s snowfall component to my omg.lol profile page and so can you!

For example, I tried Raycast. It ended up not working for me for a few reasons. But one of them was that I couldn’t scroll any of its views because there aren’t visible scrollbars for me to grab.
(Yes that’s how I have to scroll and I know that’s weird.)
I don’t know how so many macOS apps are able to hide scrollbars even though I have “Show scrollbars” set to “Always” in macOS settings.
I see it more as time goes on and it makes me wonder if there’s just some SwiftUI scroll view or something that does that by default.
When writing on a computer, I prefer to use:

What’s the easiest way to tell every template to use my _includes/base.ejs layout?
I'm listening to @adam talk about passkeys on the @hemisphericviews podcast.
I’ve been scared of passkeys because I can’t easily use a phone (physical disability). But I just went to passkeys.io and discovered that 1Password will totally handle it for me. ❤️
The Hacker News ride was (is) wild. My site usually gets around 700 views per month. In the last couple of days it got almost 30K!
Is there a non-breaking em dash? I always have unfortunate breaks like this. Or is that fine? I guess it just looks weird to me.
Wow, I’m at the top of Hacker News!

Related to this post (https://social.lol/@bw/111557385734131387), what is the easiest and or best way that you know of to get started with a personal website?
I’m looking for services or even tutorials focused on getting a basic website running (like this one https://css-tricks.com/get-started-web-design/).
I think about this quote from @andy a lot:
‘P.S if you think “no one will want to read my posts”, you’re wrong, because I do.’
It’s just a sweet sentiment. It’s important to remember—someone will read your website. A tweet is dead on the vine. No one is gonna read your old Facebook note from years ago. But your website is timeless and someone will eventually read it.
Making your own website is rewarding in a way that a corporate social media profile never will be.
I’m writing something that’s been a year in the making—my nerd crush on everything omg.lol. I’m coming up on my first anniversary!
I miss the ability to write by hand (no longer have enough hand strength). These notebooks from iA would have been an instant buy for me. https://mastodon.online/@ia/111545259388785973
