If you are a web developer trying to keep spambots out, DO NOT use reCAPTCHA. It is an unethical privacy invasion that follows people around the Web and stops disabled people from accessing information or services for no good reason.

Instead, just ask a (very) simple logic puzzle from a decent-sized set. Ask the questions in regular text and give an option to change puzzles. Switch out the library of puzzles occasionally. This will stop the vast majority of spambots.

“The technology behind the internet is not incompatible with our rights, but the business model Facebook and Google have chosen is.”

Yep, that’s Amnesty International saying that.

Another great thing to do is change your DNS to @opennic. That way you can depend less on the domain name registry. And if everyone starts using openNIC, people will start buying more openNIC domains. Thus, another part of the internet dominated by oss.

Mozilla has taken the pure wizardry out of CSS shapes and now we are all sorcerers.

Seriously thinking about getting hardcore into tea. Anyone have recommendations?

Freedom isn’t FOSS.

Looks like Chrome is adding a new image lazy loading browser api. Honestly, bout time.

So my boyfriend has had some exposure to Linux before, and I re-introduced it (Ubuntu, to be precise), and he likes it!! "It's so clean and I feel so in control." This makes me so disproportionately happy, you have no idea.

I borrowed this one from codewars

Snail Sort
Given an n x n array, return the array elements arranged from outermost elements to the middle element, traveling clockwise.

array = [[1,2,3],
[4,5,6],
[7,8,9]]
snail(array) #=> [1,2,3,6,9,8,7,4,5]
For better understanding, please follow the numbers of the next array consecutively:

array = [[1,2,3],
[8,9,4],
[7,6,5]]
snail(array) #=> [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9]
This image will illustrate things more clearly:

NOTE: The idea is not sort the elements from the lowest value to the highest; the idea is to traverse the 2-d array in a clockwise snailshell pattern.

#generative

Today we announce the formation of the Bytecode Alliance, a new industry partnership coming together to forge WebAssembly’s outside-the-browser future by collaborating on implementing standards and proposing new ones. Our founding members are Mozilla, Fastly, Intel, and Red Hat, and we’re looking forward to welcoming many more.

huh, just saw #endies as an abbreviation of neurodivergent. I like it

Broke: You said "literally" when you meant "figuratively".

Woke: People have been using "literally" to mean "very" for centuries.

Bespoke: Counter-misusing "figuratively".

"I figuratively just ate three burritos."

@freemo i must say, you made a big mistake.
