Working on launching something special for my fellow omgalolers...
Microblog
A Mississippi man sustained multiple mental and emotional injuries after a run in with CORS.
He was heard moments ago yelling, âACCESS CONTROL ALLOW YOUR MOM,â after which he was seen flipping his computer desk.
Said the man after a calm exhale, âI am now ready for the sweet peace of death.â
This story is developing.
I added @zachleatâs 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 couldnât scroll any of its views because there arenât visible scrollbars for me to grab.
(Yes thatâs how I have to scroll and I know thatâs weird.)
I donât know how so many macOS apps are able to hide scrollbars even though I have âShow scrollbarsâ set to âAlwaysâ in macOS settings.
I see it more as time goes on and it makes me wonder if thereâs just some SwiftUI scroll view or something that does that by default.
When writing on a computer, I prefer to use:

Whatâs 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.
Iâve been scared of passkeys because I canât easily use a phone (physical disability). But I just went to passkeys.io and discovered that 1Password will totally handle it for me. â¤ď¸
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, Iâm 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?
Iâm 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:
âP.S if you think âno one will want to read my postsâ, youâre wrong, because I do.â
Itâs just a sweet sentiment. Itâs important to rememberâsomeone 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.
