Something which might appeal to IndieWeb fans out there is my new blog, The Spicy Web! https://www.spicyweb.dev
It's focused on finding ways to learn and use the latest "vanilla" web technologies and the libraries/tools which align well with the open specs. So much has changed lately—especially with CSS—and I want to document some of the exciting goodies in store!
Some cool news about Gitea federation with Mastodon:

While it's highly unlikely that Bridgetown would migrate off of GitHub, maybe there's an opportunity to create a federated mirror so you'd get notifications of pushes, branches, etc?
I didn't realize the toll the pandemic had taken on me until I was flat on my back.

Is the future of code letting AI do most of the work? Is it allowing “the cloud” decide what to write next? Who knows. Maybe. I hope not. https://www.spicyweb.dev/zero-boilerplate/
The Russian troops are bombing Ukrainian fields, not allowing for the sowing of crops, looting food stocks and blocking Ukraine’s ports.
The consequences are well known. Food and fertilizer prices are skyrocketing in many parts of the world.

The iPad Desktop
Because there are some tasks I really do prefer to perform in iPadOS vs. macOS. Why can’t I have my cake and eat it too?

1994 was a wild time. I'm pretty sure that's when I first connected to the internet and got my first e-mail address (at cello.gina.calstate.edu!). Using Mosaic and soon Netscape Navigator for the first time was nothing short of mind-blowing. By 1996, I was publishing my own websites, and then in 1997 someone paid me to build them a website. 25 years later, I'm still getting paid to build websites. What a ride!
I really appreciate that `bundle gem [name]` can do so much these days. Rake, Minitest, RuboCop, and GitHub Actions right out of the box?! Sweetness. It’s so easy to create your own gem now, you have no excuse! 😄 #ruby #opensource
HTML still feels like the weird uncle living in the attic compared to the bling-bling-wearing celebrities that are modern CSS and ES2022+ JavaScript.
A renewed effort to modernize HTML and port more imperative JavaScript APIs to the world of declarative markup would go a long, long way in (a) placating the document web folks, and (b) encouraging the application web folks to bump HTML up in priority and prominence.

I'm reading a lot about #DuckDuckGo (Search) using Microsoft trackers. According to my research this is not true. The issue is that the DuckDuckGo browser allows third party scripts from Microsoft on third party websites. This has nothing to do with the search engine. DuckDuckGo CEO has published a statement: https://old.reddit.com/r/technology/comments/uxiah9/duckduckgo_caught_giving_microsoft_permission_for/i9xxjsn/?context=3
