alphaI wonder what is it about ActivityPub that I can’t always approve a user’s follow request immediately.

alphaWhat an amazing release note, I unironically love it.
Finally, we have support for negative numbers! To try them out, well, just like type the minus sign I guess.

alphaThis post on pairing pretty much matches my experience after seven years of doing it at Pivotal Labs: https://blog.testdouble.com/posts/2022-12-07-what-i-learned-from-pairing/
Definitely appreciate that it uses the same framing that I do of “default” pairing.
But I do think the style of pairing that I enjoyed the most out of all the different kinds of pairing I did was “poloing”. Soloing and pairing are just the end points along a long axis of working, and poloing allowed us to use the appropriate level of collaboration for what we were working on. We’d often solo and get quick questions and answered when needed, and elevate into full-on pairing when we needed that level of feedback. When remote, it also allowed for the sort of idle bullshitting chatter with coworkers that I missed out on from working in person.

alphaAn amazing story/post about the Minecraft ending poem, from the author that covers a lot of ground. (I’ve never even played Minecraft, but still found it a worthwhile read.)

Brought the bear back to <form> controls with CSS :has() and the CSS anchoring API ✨
ʕ´•ᴥ•`ʔ
Update paw position based on focused input 👇
:root:has([type=password]:focus) .paw {
top: anchor(--password, top);
}
The password reveal toggle is also anchored to the password input. No need for wrappers, etc.
You can get a lot done with CSS and HTML state alone 💪

left_adjoint@tilde.zoneIt hit me this morning that often what I find frustrating in discussions around "intellectual property", piracy, large datasets for training things like CLIP, &c. is that IP is a really really poor substitute for actually useful conversations around consent and respect
Like Elsevier asking me to "pwease no steal uwu" about journal articles is very different than, like, an individual selling self-published books on the side saying "hey I need this money to pay rent, so please purchase it legit"
An artist saying "hey I don't like for-profit companies building generators from my work that I posted to deviant art" is very different than Disney cracking down on people making shit with characters they "own".
Someone saying "hey this is really personal work, I don't really want it passed around and edited without my consent" is not the same as pebbleyeet getting mad at anti-fash edits of his comics.
IP is bullshit but that doesn't mean we have to take unnuanced all-or-nothing approaches to things.
That would be like saying if you want to support squatters taking over an airbnb then you can't have a lock on your bathroom door: it's conflating such wildly different things that it's a little silly.

Kevin@xoxo.zoneLet's try a game. If you're teaching a seminar next semester on pandemic art, what are you teaching? I'm starting with John Finnemore's Souvenir Programme series 9 (if you don't know what I'm talking about do yourself a favor), and Bo Burnham's Inside. What else?
