@neatnik two questions: - can a social.omg.lol address have a capital letter in it? I am trying to do oluOnline and it says oluonline - the help page (in dark mode i think? can't tell where to toggle) is light grey on white so hard to read thanks for any response!

@oluOnline Yep, I am in this camp. I think it is a bit of an overkill for most people, but I justify it by also running a few dozen accounts on it with a large number of followers. stefanbohacek.com/blog/on-running-c… If you do want to […]

indie web people, video essayists who either don't make money OR make it mostly not on YouTube, other interested parties: do you post your videos somewhere that isn't YouTube or tiktok or Instagram? do you feel like you get the reach you want doing it or you've just taken the L there? Thanks […]

i don't think it needs to exist in the way it exists. there are many harms done by it as it currently stands. i also don't think we need to throw out the baby with the bath water and have no digital broadcast platforms. 2/2

@oluOnline I did not read it, but @shadeed9’s “Debugging CSS” sounds like it could be a good fit for what you're asking! debuggingcss.com — same goes for many of his articles that communicate pretty well many concepts — ishadeed.com/articles

@sarajw usually I'm trying to debug something that's part of a design system/partially built. what I usually do is try the obvious things to me, try tweaking the existing parameters. then if I need to rewrite I consult every layout or the wider internet, first seeing if anyone has my exact issue […]

of all the coding I do, I never want to [redacted self violence] more than when I'm doing CSS. does anyone know of any good guides/courses for debugging it/having better mental models for working with it? I need to read every layout all the way through, and I have wizard zines pocket guide.

i remember the days i was discouraged re: trusting it as a source, and i like that now it's usually seen as more of a jumping off point for "normal" users, even if it's become infrastructure when it comes to certain demographics and tech companies. great round up here […]

i like (derogatory) quoting in my talks that most editors are white cis men, and that's been pretty unchanging over the years. i like quoting how huge certain languages are compared to the low number of speakers of said language alive (Bengali vs Dutch being one off the top of my head). 2/4
