CSS-Tricks has a new owner! Yes, I've got the keys to the castle, so to speak. And, even after 12 years of working on the site, I'll admit I'm a little overwhelmed and nervous about that. https://css-tricks.com/css-tricks-has-a-new-owner/

People greatly overlook how much the "Asians are good at math and science" stereotype is often due to Arab people (many forget they're Asians). The literal number system the world settled on is theirs.

It’s pretty great when an 18 year old blog (and blogging platform!) can get integrated with modern standards. Congrats @opensource.google for connecting Blogger to @standard.site

"This blog is about celebrating that friendship" with open source developers. That was our first post in Feb 2008. Today, all 1,557 posts (2008–2026) live in the Atmosphere as verified @standard.site records: https://opensource.googleblog.com/2008/02/welcome-to-google-open-source-blog.html

I don't blame them. Console hacking isn't as special as it used to be and with the rise of AI coding most won't appreciate the actual hard work behind this stuff. The options are "$50K or see your work go unappreciated?".

Truthfully, one of the biggest challenges is hubris. *Everybody* thinks they're good at comms,everybody thinks they know exactly how to persuade people, virtually everyone has zero experience. Even fewer know how to do it online. And most resources go to the folks with almost no history of success.

Is it possible to put out effective messages on hostile platforms? Sure! Zohran went on Fox and charmed them. But is a fash-apologist moderate gonna go on NewsMax and just... make things better through the pureness of his heart? (Which is apparently the centrist theory of change.) Demonstrably not.

So there's no self-awareness. They can't understand that they were targeted for outreach just as much as Black and trans people were targeted for abuse. Which makes it impossible for them to be part of using such a platform for political pushback, even if they don't think of themselves as fascists.

We're seeing it right now in tech; a number of prominent tech commentators (all coincidentally happen to be wealthy & influential white men? huh!) have all just endorsed returning to Twitter again. But they weren't content to just _be there_ — they also insisted it's not a hostile environment.

There's nuance here about "how do we use platforms owned by the fascists". You *have to understand the political purpose of the platforms* in order to use them to subvert authoritarians. For the most part, Americans simply do not. Centrists (including DNC consultants) do not. Major media does not.

"amplify your people" is 100% the best strategy

Republicans redrew Congressional district lines to try to tilt the midterms in their favor. But now they are facing expensive and competitive races they had hoped to outmaneuver. n.pr/4jGUEtc

The newly released OpenXR Spatial Container extensions standardize system-managed spaces for volumetric 3D apps, similar to how traditional systems place 2D content in desktop windows. Details here: www.uploadvr.com/openxr-spati...

Not a joke. This literal toddler is too good at a *competitive game* (he's amazing) so the fragile AF league (?) thought something at the intersection of criminalization + calling the people known to endanger Black lives was the appropriate response to this must be white + cis to play sports now

This is why I use a Chromecast for streaming stuff. Still a spy device but not the TV itself which reduces a lot of possibilities. I seriously wish there were a solid web browser for TV option out there though.

Lula winning is great for the planet, great for Brazil, and great for people who aren't revanchist assholes everywhere in the world, but let's not forget that it's also going to make some of the worst people on Earth extremely sad and mad. We should enjoy that, as a little treat.

Every aspect of life as a gay man is unimaginably better than it was when I was born in the mid 80s. We beat the plague that was killing us by the hundreds of thousands and then won broad social and civic equality.

This is a disturbingly good analysis.

My best friend who got me into Mass Effect in the first place died the same year that the franchise died. This is a bit odd for me.
