Excuse me? Don't think this is what we mean by "Autism Awareness Month".
All jokes aside, this is scary af.

@annaDr. Anna Latour at this point it feels like a relieve that the purpose behind this most likely is antivax "vaccines cause autism" stuff and nothing else.

@annaDr. Anna Latour What the news is not stating is if this data is being collected anonymously, i.e. privately identifiable information being removed. Somehow, I doubt that this is happening.
I'm going to T-DOSE. See you there? https://t-dose.org/ #TDOSE
I'm currently putting the final touches on my talk for City JS conf on Friday!
Will I see anyone there?
"no one cares about this" have you considered that you're selecting the people you're encountering
At any rate what I was thinking about here is that you will have times when your own motivation and your own faith fails you, and then what? Who is around you helping to shape your thoughts? I think people underestimate the ways that the people they surround themselves with can change THEM rather than the other way around.
oh hello. if you live in the NYC area and haven't already heard my book talk on #othernetworks, or if you'd just like to come hang out and get a postcard or 
@mediaarchaeologylab sticker or pamphlet on how to build your own mini FM transmitter, please come to 161 Water Street 2pm on Saturday!
Following the FEP-fe34 update, I am publishing a new version of FEP-ae97: Client-side activity signing
https://codeberg.org/fediverse/fep/pulls/564
The registration process is completely different now. Keys for signing S2S requests are generated on the server and only public parts are shared with the client.
When FEP-ae97 client retrieves activities from the inbox, it signs GET requests with a key associated with actor's DID authority.
For example, this actor:
Glyph
ap://did:key:z6MkhaXgBZDvotDkL5257faiztiGiC2QtKLGpbnnEGta2doK/actor"
Will generate an HTTP signature with this keyId parameter:
keyId="did:key:z6MkhaXgBZDvotDkL5257faiztiGiC2QtKLGpbnnEGta2doK#z6MkhaXgBZDvotDkL5257faiztiGiC2QtKLGpbnnEGta2doK"
Implementations have been updated too (Nomadic AP Client and Mitra).

Ukraine has no great options if US recognizes Crimea as Russian
Ukraine is facing a crossroads in its fight against Russia's full-scale invasion, with the possibility of being forced to reject an unfavorable peace deal being imposed under huge pressure from the U.S.
Ukraine finds itself in an immensely frustrating position, having done all that was asked of it by the U.S. since the peace process began in earnest, yet now facing demands that are likely impossible.

I've currently been doing a tonne of work on Doorkeeper, a Mastodon dependency for OAuth, and currently that work is mostly uncompensated.
I'm also doing a reasonable amount of work on the standards side (W3C & IETF), which is also uncompensated.
I'm not making ends meet at the moment, so if you can spare €5-10 a month, please do consider supporting my work on Mastodon, Doorkeeper, standards, and the wider Fediverse.
I'm currently running a deficit of about €1000-1600 per month, which is completely unsustainable.
(there's also one-time, but ongoing support is what enables me to do this important work)
I feel an underappreciated problem with being a person who mostly just rants about the things they hate is that you surround yourself with the opposite of the people you apparently want to talk to
I trust you're already on your way

Help an idiot who is useless with layout? How can I get this result with flexbox and no media queries? If viewport wide enough, those small articles are on the side, one under the other. Otherwise, they're below, next to one another.

For Earth Day today, I had the honor of remembering Pope Francis on Democracy Now, recalling how first reading his Laudato Si' brought me to tears and how he saw social movements as a site of revelation: https://www.democracynow.org/2025/4/22/pope_francis_vatican_climate_crisis
Calling ASD a “disease” is stigmatizing and without basis. Tracking people with ASD in a database is fascistic and terrifying.

Can you recommend a website, post, talk, etc. to learn more about accessibility APIs, the accessibility tree and the relationship between browsers and assistive technology? Thank you!
Language nerds, a question: if I want to start creating a hobbyist programming language, what should I read and why?

@grayface_ghostGhost of Hope 🏳️⚧️ fair enough. I've been out of the country too long to be familiar enough with him.
Today Melissa Lewis over on BlueSky pointed out that the font used in the infamous "You wouldn't steal a car" anti-piracy campaign was actually designed by Just van Rossum, whose brother, Guido, created the Python programming language (bsky.app/profile/melissa.news/post/3ln7hx5rhcj2v)
She also pointed out that the font had been cloned and released illegally for free under the name "XBAND Rough". Naturally, it would be hilarious if the anti-piracy campaign actually turned out to have used this pirated font, so I went sleuthing and quickly found a PDF from the campaign site with the font embedded (web.archive.org/web/20051223202935/http://www.piracyisacrime.com:80/press/pdfs/150605_8PP_brochure.pdf).
So I chucked it into FontForge and yep, turns out the campaign used a pirated font the entire time!

Have frameworks like React and Vue hindered adoption of modern web features like `<dialog>` and `popover`?
They don't map well to components because they expect to always exist in the DOM and have an imperative interface (show/close) for modifying their state.
They top layer is also incompatible with the "portal"/"teleport" model.
If you want something that shows up on top of a modal you actually need a `reverse teleport` where the dialog steals some dom nodes from outside itself.
hello everyone

Retrieval-based learning is an active thing you gotta keep doing in life. I mean that silly advice you see, "keep doing crossword puzzles for brain health"? That is not actually bullshit. It is very clear that even if you are strongly in the corner of AI tools the most augmenting use cases we see are the ones where people have workflows that continue to center their own generation and active learning. These guys just don't have a working theory of the human mind at all
Today's example of "you can just do things":
A colleague complained about Python's error message "TypeError: unhashable type" being hard to understand when trying to use eg a list as a dict key or set element. I also always have trouble explaining this problem to beginner students, so I filed an issue. Then 
@vstinnerVictor Stinner 🐍 wrote a patch and opened a PR two hours later, which I reviewed and merged. Now:
![screenshot of Python console with the code:
d = {}
key = [1, 2, 2]
d[key] = 123
producing the error message:
TypeError: cannot use 'list' as a dict key (unhashable type: 'list')](https://files.mastodon.social/media_attachments/files/114/387/957/994/548/339/original/c2647b0aec827ca4.png)
