I’m looking forward to the launch of Gander social sometime this year. I hope it does well and our institutions will come on board eventually.

I canceled my digital subscriptions a while ago. I bought a Blu Ray player and I’m building a personal collection of movies and tv shows.

Started doing the same thing with video games last month. Game card and CDs all day.

Suspending Doctors Without Borders is definitely a thing healthy countries do

posted about my Apple ID woes, please share widely?

I saw a video in Instagram where it’s called a bibi in the Moroccan dialect.

Bibi in Iraq means grandmother 🤣

Hi, I’m buying your Between Two Rivers book for Christmas.

The IDF should be added to our terrorist list. They were founded by terrorist organizations after all. Here’s a link about their origins:

Fibromyalgia finally gets a genetic fingerprint - Medical Republic A massive global study links the chronic pain condition to 26 genes associated with brain signalling, marking a turning point in understanding its biological roots.

Medical Republic: 'Fibromyalgia finally gets a genetic fingerprint'

'Additionally, certain risk loci overlapped with long covid (BPTF) and ME/CFS (OLFM4, RABGAP1L/GPR52), two poorly characterised disorders, albeit with different lead variants.'

A terrorist state doing terrorist things.

I’m seeing a recent trend of charging a yearly fee per font weight, which is crazy.

I also purchased your Formulate font as it looks great on text. Always happy to support a fellow Canadian.

Israel’s underground jail, where Palestinians are held without charge and never see daylight Exclusive: Detainees at Rakefet include nurse and teenager who have been deprived of natural light since January

If you're tired of hearing about Israeli terrorism and war crimes and human rights violations and apartheid and genocide, imagine how tired the Palestinians are of suffering them.

@arcanetype.com Hi Alanna, I bought your Avona Serif font and I’m loving it.

Thank you for making it affordable and the straight forward licensing.

I’m looking forward to seeing what you come up with next.

Exgoose me? You’re funding Gander how?

We're inviting Canadians to become co-owners.

Over 1.5k Canadians have invested from $255 to $10K or more, totalling $1.2M so far!

Become an owner! Tell friends, family, frenemies... anyone who wants better socials in Canada 🇨🇦

When I was recording sessions during Covid, I made a list of things to do before I start recording.

Muting the mic is at the top of this list 🤣

“I don’t know enough about the subject of Palestine” is not an excuse for not speaking up anymore. It is not. We’ve been flooded with information about Palestine for two years now. If you still don’t know, it’s because you don’t want to know. That makes you a coward in my book.

@lextar.social.blach.io.ap.brid.gy Hi Alex, do you have plans on updating your Textastic app for Mac OS?

Moving/deleting files and folders within the app would be great.

Deputy AG Todd Blanche says ‘organized’ Trump protesters could be investigated Blanche spoke as DOJ sought to walk back Attorney General Pam Bondi’s comments about "hate speech," which landed her in hot water with conservatives.

People legit yelled at me for 24 hours when I said it's extremely dumb to RSVP to a protest. Why hand your name over to a group organizing a protest/rally? Do you *want* to have to talk to the FBI?

Treat anyone encouraging you to RSVP to a protest as a fed. End of.

That’s awesome. I’m working on my own programming language and I’m at the research phase at the moment.

I’m sure this will be useful to me in the future.

@gingerbill.org Hi, I saw a post on hacker news about your new programming language for making compilers.

I’m curious if you plan on using it in the future instead of LLVM.

Hover is pretty great. If we had a Canadian alternative to Netlify and Vercel, I would switch in a heartbeat.

Will this session be available on YouTube? I live in the East Coast and would love to see what you have to say about this topic.

Canadians stand with Rachel Gilmore. The Conservative government, whose actions and rhetoric have put her in harm’s way, must take responsibility and act immediately to ensure her safety. This injustice cannot be
ignored, and it must be rectified.
NOW. #IStandWithRachel

Go Make Things Chris Ferdinandi is a web developer with ADHD, helping people build the web better.

I prefer reading blog posts without a header image as I find them too distracting.

gomakethings.com by Chris Ferdinandi is a great example.

I use vibe coding for small projects like a random password generator. The type of projects that don’t get updates.

I also use it to compare the syntax of various programming languages.

I want you all to understand that every time a politician calls for a release of the hostages and does not mention the MANY Palestinian hostages in Israel, they are making it clear they only value some lives — those adjacent to power, those it is politically safe to defend.

Semitic languages have this strange tendency of switching letters.

I saw a Youtube video recently about the Arabic dialect of Chad where the word دجاج is called جداد in their dialect.

I didn’t like that HTML support requires an extension that doesn’t properly distinguish between elements and attributes in syntax highlighting.

I’ve used Humi at my workplace before and it works very well.
