Let’s talk about why Baseline browser compatibility doesn’t tell a complete story about whether or not a feature can be used “safely” by developers.
Consider `accent-color` (Not Baseline) versus CSS Nesting (Baseline 2023).
Browser compatibility is only a small piece: it’s far more important to consider the role the feature plays and how progressive-enhancement friendly that feature is.
CSS Nesting requires cross-browser ubiquity before use: `accent-color` is much safer, comparatively!
@andypiper great to meet you this afternoon!
lol I clicked on a link to a nytimes article and this is what I got. what a joke.
Pretty fascinating look at how "Covid changed everything", in 30 charts.
"Decades from now, the pandemic will be visible in the historical data of nearly anything measurable today: an unmistakable spike, dip or jolt that officially began for Americans five years ago this week."
And as the article notes, the pandemic is far from over for many of us.
Coincidentally, March 15 is the International Long Covid Awareness day.

Substantial upgrade to my llm-openrouter plugin, adding schema support and a bunch of better ways of listing and introspecting their models. They offer 38 "free" models that work with an API key and no billing, great for teaching workshops https://simonwillison.net/2025/Mar/10/llm-openrouter-04/
My UI library? Oh it's going great.
This just in.
Goodness, yet another trans woman trying to gatekeep transition and despite transitioning as a teenage, she some how thinks that the medication she was given as a kid was **not** reversible, when often puberty blockers are: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f1TE4mWQ5pw
Yes, some puberty blockers may have an effect on fertility depending on medication, but still.
It's kinda exhausting seeing cis folks asking random trans people for information on medical matters, rather than trusting organisations that focus on medical & psychological topics.

Finally made it, my personal website!

If one were playing around with building parsers, and read the Dragon Book back in the day, what might be a decent intro to modern compiler code generation techniques and the LLVM and similar intermediate code philosophy and practicalities?

@pluralisticCory Doctorow is talking about peaceful paths to political change that reminds me of Roman history related to Sulla.
If you'd like to support my work on the Fediverse, you can do so at: https://support.thisismissem.social
Right now your support really enables me to continue doing the work I do, as my only other source of income at the moment is my FIRES grant, which only pays out once milestones of work have been completed.
Whilst I'm working hard on FIRES, I'm also struggling financially following tax recalculations and a contract coming to an end. (Taxes went up, income halved)
I'm also still trying to contribute to other fediverse projects when I can.
Why uh... why do some function pointers compare as equal with `cargo test`, but not under Miri?
14 notifications...now I'm gonna rest...
let's see how many notifications I got when I come back!

Boosting is important for discovery when your home-feed uses reverse-chron algorithm — i.e., what some mistakenly call "no algorithm".
Quote-boosting gives context to why you (who are not following that person) should care.

First they came for the Palestinian protestor and I said “hey you Nazi fucks, you’re being Nazis, everyone else we need to shut these motherfuckers down RIGHT now” because I actually paid attention to the poem

Was most excellent getting to meet and hear Evan Prodromou, the main brain & big kahuna behind the team that brought us the Activity Pub protocol, at the Fediverse House talks yesterday at the Speakeasy for SXSW. Always great to see that a dev doing excellent work is also a truly cool person too.
