hi new friends! i’m jake, a programmer & designer based in NYC. i talk a lot about local-first apps & the web.

if you followed me from a starter pack & don’t know who i am, here are some (imo) cool things i’ve done/written. these are all on my website which you can follow via RSS:

we have reached the "but what's in his heart 🥺" stage and i regret to inform you that i don't actually care about DHH at all. i'm not trying to shame or silence. literally all i'm doing here is alerting people that someone they may have assumed to be normal is pumping out white supremacist rhetoric.

the speakers the march officially invited are, by definition, representative of the march itself. it's asinine to pretend otherwise.

i don't care what david's views are if you sit down and talk with him in private, i care about the blood-and-soil white nationalist bile he's spewing out in public

you seem to want to have it both ways, where someone can say "i support this thing", continue to support that thing when people point out its racist and then cry foul when everyone reaches the logical conclusion, and i'm sorry but that's just not how it works

even if we assume he DIDN'T know from the jump (which, again: way more disrespectful to dhh than anything i've said) has he made any effort to distance himself since he was made aware? any effort at all? it's not "guilt by association" to claim he supports something he's explicitly said he supports

and yeah, if i was like "this one specific pro-palestinian march was great" and then it turned out that like every single *officially invited* speaker said insane unhinged racist things of course it would be fair to bring that up! so please continue combing through my posts if you want to find that.

bro have you even glanced at his blog? he is OBSESSED with politics! this is such a weird attempt to defend him — you're basically saying that he's shooting off angry political rants without understanding what he's writing about. at least i'm respecting him enough to treat it as a cogent argument!

just did it! thanks for the reminder, it's a huge improvement

I live right by Court Street and the bike lane has made a huge difference — the street is so much calmer and safer. It's going to be a thing of beauty when it's finished

Took Doug's suggestion and emailed the community board. Took two minutes. If you live in Brooklyn consider doing the same!

If you like this change to the street, please let Brooklyn CB6 know by emailing [email protected]

I'm on the board and we're already getting some cranky emails. The folks who are using this and benefit from it don't know they have to stand up for good things, so help us stand up for good things.

i'm not assuming anything. i'm saying that if someone tells me a march is "heartwarming" and "powerful" and full of "perfectly normal people" it's a pretty big lie of omission to not mention that the speakers list is composed exclusively of avowed bigots

oh sweet! thank you

honestly i could probably just omit the scrolling part entirely

won't communicate the message as effectively but i guess that's life on the web for ya 🥲

so, uh, any word on firefox and scroll-linked animations?

asking for a friend who really doesn't want to make a fallback JS version 😬

modern CSS is so good

two years of death, destruction, misery at the hands of a state that has repeatedly and explicitly confirmed its intent is ethnic cleansing and genocide. what israel has done in our name is an absolute shanda. free palestine.

Two years since October 7, 2023. Here are the numbers that show what Israel has done to Gaza—a thread 🧵

we'll probably never get ::picker(file) but a boy can dream

Interesting to think about what other types of ::picker we'll be able to style beyond
