Some things never change…

All right, I'll correct you because you're wrong.
What bothers me is an open source tool enhancing a proprietary service which by its very nature breaks open source licensing and in face copyright protections of all sorts across the entire internet.
Not downvoting because I appreciate the effort…but ChatGPT is about as opposite from the ethos of open source as you can get imho. 😄
Maybe it's a PNW thing? Except for a few "big box" chains, virtually every market I can think of with a local flair offers indoor seating here.
Can't speak for other folks, but I always look for a proper bike rack. Seems like good etiquette.
Ruby, absolutely. Still brings me joy with its expressiveness and flexibility.
yeah…doesn't mean I have to like it though! 😅
I'm all for making fun of the Cybertruck, and anything from Felon Husk really, but I'd bet real money that thumbnail photo was doctored. I tried searching around for verified photos of rust but nothing substantial came up from a reputable source. Anyway, just wanted to point this out.
Oh yeah, thanks for bringing that up. And maybe we stay away from WordPress.com now with all the weird AI stuff they've been up to. 🤪
I all for removing barriers to entry in this space, and if you're talking about self-hosting everything and wiring up all sorts of bits and bobs of various services together manually, yeah, it's very technical and daunting. But somebody can get started on Ghost, or WordPress.com, or Buttondown, or ConvertKit or whatever. Lots of ways to write early and often online. Buzzsprout is pretty rad for podcasting as well.
The problem usually boils down to distribution like Nilay said, not hosting. Fediverse seems like a real solution here. Honestly I've never been as successful at both blogging and podcasting as I am right now. This isn't merely a glimpse of some old-school internet nostalgia trip. It's a whole new world out there and it's actually better. 🤩
Squash merge into the main branch. It's the only way to fly. (just my 2c!)
I'm a blogger and a web developer, so IMHO:
Blog-style sites have never been as cheap to run as right now. For small-to-midsize sites run mostly as static sites, it might even be close to free.
Virtually all cost is in the human labor, and the challenge of running a sustainable business model like subscriptions off of "words" which I think are valuable but getting audiences to agree is very hard.
But we might be seeing a turnaround here. I'm hopeful!
Test in screen readers and see how content is being announced.
Lists have certain semantics which are very useful. Definitely good in navigation (aka nav > ul > li).
Grids are also useful BTW—we don't have specific "grid" tags in HTML, but using ARIA attributes you can set up grids which might map onto div tags or even custom elements.
Personally, I'm much less concerned about ul/li than I am "div tag soup" which is a plague upon modern web development. Use div tags sparingly, and almost always see if you can reach for either (a) a more semantic HTML tag (e.g., key/val pairs should probably be dl/dt/dd tags, not list tags), or (b) custom elements…yes, authoring tags with one or more hyphens which are purely for developer comprehension and hanging CSS off of is perfectly fine—recommended in fact—and in some cases if you need some JS component logic as well, then boom you have web components.
