CSS is magic ✨

so much you can do in css using pseudo classes. used `:has` pseudo class to make the full hover animation here.

for hover state im doing `:has(*:is(.sidebar-icon-trigger:hover`

made only using css. no js listener used. took me longer than i thought it would.

Sure, leaders of the Democratic party, don't support this guy. Continue to build on your vision for a better 1995.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

Just yesterday I was talking about how ethical use of AI is the largest problem we face going forward. Case in point.

Simpler times when it was designer, unless you were one of those dark magicians called a “web designer” 😆

Let’s just go back to the wilderness.

Oof. Great callout. Most of us grey-beard UX people came from art and design. We tend to be the *worst* people to ask about math. 😅

That's right! Sorry. It's all grouped in my head as "those other things". But again: I don't need to know that. None of us do. That's how FOSS operating systems are going to achieve mainstream use.

The moment you wander into "switching to Linux" you immediately bump into the worst people you'd never want to talk to. We need to get a layer above them. Those communities will always exist, but right now it's all there is for support.

The future of Linux is what it has been: don't promote that it's Linux. Make it an abstracted software layer. Steam OS, Android, PS3-5... all Linux in daily lives. Most people don't need a desktop device. Separate the Linux layer and obscure it behind an appliance-level interface.

I’m just now catching up on the book thing. The dire need for some people to be “right”… it’s wild to me. Like you said: better to not be a pariah and move on.

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:
www.citizensinformation.ie/en/employmen...
Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."
