Any web property monetized via advertising is *already* primarily computer generated content—it’s been that way for at least 20 years.

They’ve always charged advertisers when bots view an ad—so why not charge for bots to generate the content too?

can y’all settle a fashion argument my partner and I are having: is it ok to french tuck my pants into my socks?

there is a parallel here with web sites

the disappointment of first hearing an acoustic version of a really good song and finding out the artist has only officially released a studio-produced pop version

I’m a simple person—if I see you share an end-of-year wrap up post on your personal blog—I boost it

eating in a restaurant with my family and overheard two men aggressively nickname battling

“thanks boss”
“you’re welcome, bud”

verbal violence.

for every boost on this post I promise not to post on bluesky for another 10 minutes

watching kids open presents on christmas morning is genuinely one of the raddest things ever

look—if we’re going to ban the tiktok app in the us—can we at least make it fair and ban all of the apps or no

Great change!

Importantly, in the replies it is noted by @pfrazee.com that the change is not retroactive to folks already verified on a custom domain: bsky.app/profile/pfra...

as of this week, when you verify your account by updating your username from a default like emily.bsky.social to your website @emilyliu.me, your former bsky.social username is reserved for you automatically (and prevents impersonators from claiming it). you can revert back to it at anytime

the twitter takes will get spicier as folks with huge twitter followings see their influence slowly drain away

yes I have seen wicked, I already know fiyero is the straw man

The worst take about the web is that you should not use HTML because Adobe Flash alone is good enough. Can’t believe I have to keep saying this

We can save the optics of using the term “mind virus” for another time (but, gross)

I truly believe that many folks in positions of power in web development don’t understand basic progressive enhancement.

“The worst take about the web is that you should not use JS/React/etc because HTML alone is good enough. It's an 'austerity mind virus' that has captured even some smart engineers.” — @rauchg.blue

Are we gonna organize a Bluesky logout/walkout? What are the next steps here to put pressure on Bluesky leadership?

whew—it’s back. we can all rest easy now

aw they deleted it, here’s a screenshot from @michaelbishop.me: bsky.app/profile/mich...

I… worked on this story for a year…and…they just…posted it www.defense.gov/News/News-St...

I’m disappointed to report that the three body problem has very little to do with malformed html documents

Remembering this single <div> 11ty Possum mascot from @lynnandtonic.com (October 2022) today:

A Single Div
A CSS drawing experiment to see what’s possible with a single div.

For those following along, the AutoCopy plugin is now called Html Relative Passthrough Copy and is part of the `addPassthroughCopy` API.

Coming soon to an Eleventy canary release near you:

Adds `html-relative` Passthrough Copy mode for relative asset references in HTML #3552 by zachleat · Pull Request #3573 · 11ty/eleventy
export default async function(eleventyConfig) { // glob here is relative to project root eleventyConfig.addPassthroughCopy("content/**/*.mp4", { mode: "html-relative" }); }...

made it to month 16 of 1200 before the founder said “it's hard to imagine wanting to continue to (sic) working on WordPress”

reading wordpress.com/100-year/ has an interesting flavor to it today

if hosting providers can’t agree on how to handle trailing slashes it doesn’t bode well for WinterCG and JavaScript server runtime variability

arewebcomponentsathingyet.com

(Yes)

I wrote about trailing slashes here: www.zachleat.com/web/trailing...

Doesn’t seem like things have improved much 😱

Another great resource on trailing slashes from @bluwy.me which continues to be one of the hardest problems in computer science: bjornlu.com/blog/trailin...

Can .astro files be compiled independently yet? How do we get @astro.build working in 11ty?

oops *the upcoming AutoCopy plugin—let me just go in and edit this Bluesky post real quick

We’re seeking feedback on upcoming AutoCopy plugin: https://github.com/11ty/eleventy/pull/3573

If you’ve ever struggled with Passthrough Copy in Eleventy, the goal here is to make that workflow *much* simpler! It’s like “auto-import” for *any* local file (image/video/text file/CSS/JavaScript/etc).

so is next.js stable already shipping with experimental react 20 or what’s the deal there
