Nothing but potential.

You may know me from SVG books, CSS working group, Maps in HTML, or similar, but mostly just lurking on the edges of web dev these […]

@prushforth Also: all the old namespaces use http:// not https://

I've seen some folks banging their heads against broken SVG files because they've got an https everywhere linter.

And it sure doesn't help when you post a link to someone in a chat app & it helpfully strips the protocol and the […]

@phil I mean, I'd invite you just on the basis of that fabulous @@ domain. But are you sure you want to give that up?

@cwilcox808 Oh, pooh, but yay for progressive enhancement! Looks like they still support the ::marker selector (color & size changes are applied), just not custom `content`.

- the team behind squoosh.app for the mini […]

@kizu These were great to see in my timeline yesterday, so thanks for taking the effort to finally go through them. I so often give up completely on posting photos after a few weeks has passed.

And now thanks to @chaosexanima I can show you how the retractation works:
- you get a notification when someone quotes you
- on their post, you have a new menu to remove their quote of your post
- you confirm, and your quote is removed and shown as having been […]
