So excited to see more sites using Bluesky for commenting. So simple and exactly what open platforms like this are built for. Thanks for sharing! πŸ™‚

Danielle Smith is a separatist.

I'm only a separatist when it comes to traffic.

If you want to get involved with @smokesignal.events there’s lots of work to do

- design design design and lots of UX
- run a local instance
- include the Lexicon into your bsky client
- extend and integrate - eg tie it into Ghost email sending or make a Wordpress plugin

And organizer usage!

As Iran and Israel fought, people turned to AI for facts. They didn't find many AI-generated videos of fighting between Iran and Israel went viral, and people asked chatbots if they were real. "What we're seeing is AI mediating the experience of warfare," said one researcher.

The time is right for a DOM templating API

Just published a new blog post on why I think it's time that the web platform added a declarative template API.

Let me know what you think!

As I find time, I'll be working on more of a concrete proposal over the next few months...

Really excited about some of the use cases for using, β€œusing”. The proposed telemetry example looks much simpler for example.

This is a very good idea by @jlisayoung.bsky.social and the Alberta NDP should find a way to make it happen -- immediately. lisayoung.substack.com/p/less-ottaw...

I'm thinking of introducing my kids to D&D over the summer. They're still young (under 12) but not by much. Any suggestions or tips on getting them started? I've not played myself so it's new to all of us, and my goal is to have fun. I'm ok with ignoring or simplifying rules. πŸ˜‰

Heads up @rviscomi.dev. Code is "working", but still needs to be made right and made fast. πŸ˜‰

I've just updated @baselinebot.bsky.social with a new database feature that should detect all updates to features, and post them along with an embedded link to the feature on the Web Platform Feature Explorer.

You won't see it until the next batch of feature updates are released.

Heads up that you might see a few posts like this over the next few days. Testing an update to @baselinebot.bsky.social using my account. πŸ˜‰

Fully support this idea. Bluesky wins by letting devs build awesome apps that users want to use and can’t get elsewhere.

Thanks! I’ll stay tuned in and see how things evolve.

Also, any chance of an Astro template on the new Deno Deploy?

This may have been addressed elsewhere, but will the Deno.Cron and Deno.KV apis be coming back in the new version?

I've got a project using both that I'd like to migrate, but am blocked until those are available.

Thanks, I was very curious how to do this in CSS, so you've got perfect timing. Watching it now! :)

So excited to see Safari adding support for anchor positioning. It should finally make it practical to use for new projects, and should make the layout for menus and tooltips way easier!

Has anyone seen a GH repo for this yet? Curious to try it out!

This probably makes me a bad person, but... I don't mind the Photos redesign. I use a lot of the utilities and other folders though, so that might be why.

Hmm, that’s disappointing to hear. So frustrating as it’s a nice airport and it seems like the market is here.

A @supabase.com integration would also be another awesome option given they already work with Deno

Any details on how that will work? Is the plan for something similar to @cloudflare.social D1 that builds on SQLite? Or would it be integrations with services like Neon?

Excited to try this out, especially as I read it’s going to support databases.
