It is my third fediversary!
Strictly speaking I joined April 2022, but I floundered to start with & it was only when we decided to start things.uk that I consider myself to have properly joined.
Anyhow. Here are three Friend tooters & a honking Humph in celebration.
Thank you for your company over the last three years. Been a pleasure

Judge orders #Trump administration to deliver full #SNAP benefits to states by Friday
The administration had said it would distribute partial payments in November, but that the process could take weeks.
by By Aria Bendix, November 6, 2025
"But [Judge] McConnell said the Trump administration 'did nothing to ensure' that SNAP benefits would be delivered this week. He ordered the administration to use the funding for child nutrition programs, known as #Section32 funding, in addition to the contingency funds to make sure payments are delivered in full.
" 'The evidence shows that people will go hungry, food pantries will be overburdened and needless suffering will occur,' McConnell said. 'Last weekend, SNAP benefits lapsed for the first time in our nation’s history. This is a problem that could have and should have been avoided.' "

New blog post: “Box-Decoration-Break”.

In the last few days, coincidentally, I saw two cases where the obscure `box-decoration-break` #CSS property could help. This might be a good sign that it is worth it to remind everyone about its existence!
In vorfreudiger Erwartung auf den #39C3 – Ihr seid dran! Wir wollen in zwei Wochen aus der noch unsortierten Liste der Vorträge ein komplettes Programm bauen und brauchen dazu wieder eure Hilfe: https://events.ccc.de/2025/11/06/39c3-halfnarp/
Calling all web developers! Browsers are all meeting up next week (https://www.w3.org/events/tpac/2025/tpac-2025/). I want your voice to be heard! Tell me your biggest problems, and tell me what you want to see from the platform. What problems are tough to solve, but could be easier?
This is super cool, and a real validation of the ecosystem. Forget all the whining about filter bubbles or what not. What's happening here is important, in large part because it allows people to build cool shit, not wait for some billionaire to order a lackey to build what they want at your expense

I love “We Can Just Do Things” as a description of what ATProto is enabling so much.

La pétition contre la loi Duplomb arrive à l’Assemblée, et il ne faut pas en attendre grand-chose
2,1 millions de signataires, et après ? Cet été, la pétition contre la loi Duplomb a explosé tous les compteurs. Mise en ligne sur le site de l’Assemblée nationale, elle a recueilli un nombre record de signatures, loin devant le précédent record, établi à 260 000.
it's pretty funny how much some people cope when confronted with that single-use plastics is one of the bigger disasters of the 20th century onwards and we mostly keep it up because it's still a cheap, convenient way to drive consumption while minimizing additional costs

This is important. We already have a basic duopoly in mobile operating systems, now Google is trying to lock down their platform even more. Nobody benefits from this other than Google's shareholders.
Whether you are a device owner, a developer, or a public institution, this affects you and should matter to you.
Everyone can meaningfully help to push back.

We concur with the members of a jury in Washington, DC that tossing a sandwich at a federal agent should not be treated as criminal activity.
In completely unrelated news, everyone should know about jury nullification!
A jury has an absolute right to return any verdict it chooses. You can return a verdict of NOT GUILTY if you consider a law, punishment, or prosecutor unjust.
Mind you, if you mention this during selection, you may not end up on a jury.
Pass it on!
