@hrbrmstr @laguiri Tbh I don't really care whether this one works or not. First of all, the ClickFix part is gross. Second, one of these will work, and the technique writ large across the is going to become yet another an endemic issue with these tools.
And if anyone is going to figure out how to make them work, it's marketing.

The FBI is reportedly investigating a massive data breach that is unfolding in real time: I rented a car, and within hours, my driver's license was for sale https://arstechnica.com/security/2026/09/my-drivers-license-is-one-of-153-million-for-sale-on-a-new-dark-website/
FFS. In fascism-blind #BrokenTimes, critic reviewing Ryback's 53 Days is irritated at repeated Hitler/Trump parallels, but admits there "is evidence enough that the analogy is not completely tendentious." Well, thanks.

I'm listening to the book now. In just one chapter, Hitler wants a fund to pay his insurgents, tries to rewrite election law, fires justice officials disloyal to him, & threatens to jail opponents. The author needn't point out the obvious parallels to today, except to the fascism-blind #BrokenTimes.
🔥 New blog post!
My post on two-state dark mode toggles sparked a lot of discussion around what the optimal dark mode toggle design is.
But should you have a (persistent) dark mode toggle *at all*?
I have since been convinced that for most websites, the answer is NO.
@leaverou I’m actually having difficulty reading the website right now it keeps erroring and resetting the page. Bookmarked to come back to it - after only 5 years I actually got round to adding a dark mode to my blog (as I almost always prefer light as I have astigmatism) but haven’t yet to decided how/if to have users set it (it’s just using system atm).

@fahrni I hope so too. Take it easy. Pace yourself. Maybe give Flynn the feline equivalent of a Zannax tonight?
Seriously, take care of yourself, Rob!
@jswright61 Mr. Flynn seems to be doing better now. He's wandering around the house getting into stuff, like his usual self.
Hopefully he'll get ok tonight. Our grandkids are over so I sleep in the guest room so they can sleep with Grammie! Flynn usually sleeps with me when I do that. Maybe his sister, Priss, will join us. Just have a big party!
I'm trying to pace myself. We'll see how Saturday and Sunday go. 👍🏼
German and French neonazi are going to take the power in their respective countries and then in the European Institutions. I see it coming but I see no actual resistance to it, and in some cases the "left" is actively facilitating their job. Maybe I am too pessimistic and this black wave will pass as well, but I only hope that this time won't take twenty yers and millions of lives to get past the oppression.

@ACLibertaire@mstdn.fr Moins grave que prévu donc, mais je ne doute pas que vous aviez une table « user » dans votre SPIP et des logs web (vu que c’est une obligation légale), et donc que c’est bien une violation de données quand même 😅
I'd call that a feature.
But when I do, I... uh... really struggle. I'm not a professional and haven't taken any classes. Anyway, here is one.

@aral lol, so ”small government” of them, eh? 🤭
Earlier this week I unsubscribed from #1Password and moved to #Bitwarden... due to their donation of 300k to DHH's #Omarchy.
I made sure to let them know about the reason, so that hopefully the company would notice those kind of decisions have an impact.
Day one I got messages from their AI system.
But today I got a response by a real human at 1Password (or so it appears).
If you are curious about the company's official response to the backlash, check out the screenshot (and/or #AltText)

@ACLibertaire@mstdn.fr En dehors du technique, pensez aussi au juridique. 72h max obligatoire pour déclarer la violation de données à la CNIL. + éventuellement notification aux personnes concernées. Bon courage, c’est rarement marrant comme moments… 😭
