URL Patterns is now a proper standard: https://blog.whatwg.org/2023/10. It's maintained by the WHATWG: https://urlpattern.spec.whatwg.org/. For example, the pathname pattern `/blog/:title` will match `/blog/hello-world` but not `/blog/2012/02`. If you've worked with HTTP frameworks like Express.js in Node.js, this will look very familiar.

"You can’t be autistic - you can make eye contact!” Being autistic doesn’t mean I can’t *make* eye contact, rather that eye contact can be painful and overstimulating for me. Yet, I make it because I have to. If I didn’t, many would be hurt/angry, and I’d face further ostracism. Thanks for your pointless comment anyway from someone that clearly doesn't know what you're talking about. @actuallyautistic@a.gup.pe #actuallyautistic

For the last six months or so I've been obsessed with POSSE, a decade-old idea about how to mix the best of blogging and social media. For a story and for The Vergecast, I tried to figure out how POSSE could work — and why it might not https://www.theverge.com/2023/10/23/23928550/posse-posting-activitypub-standard-twitter-tumblr-mastodon

I'm a long-time Linux user, and I've started using Windows 11 for work and… It's basically fine? There are no adverts in it that I can see. Multi-monitor support works. Lots of the deeper settings still retain their Win98 look & feel. Window snapping isn't quite as advanced as Wayland, but quite acceptable. About the worst thing I can say is that it moans my 40W USB-C charger isn't powerful enough. But it charges well enough. Doesn't seem remarkably different from XP TBH.

It's like twice a year I stop to really reassess what and why I'm working on my side projects that I'd hope help push the envelope on how to engage people on the Internet. My fear of making something that exacerbates harm is why I only talk about it - and that's been set in place after working at Lyft (seriously, I don't understand how people work at companies that have way too much information on people and not freak out!)

The kiddo's doing a research project for school and yesterday I was telling her to ignore the Google snippet summary thing and look on Wikipedia instead. Follow the links and check the citations, obv, but it's the place to go to get a first general overview of the topic. "Trust Wikipedia, not Google". The internet's changed a bit, hasn't it?

That _one_ parent who keeps insisting we hold a high school reunion. There are a number of classmates I quite like and stay in touch with, but the last thing I want to do is volunteer my time to convene, or attend, an event that dredges up the many traumas I've spent the last 20 years recovering from.

Intro After attending Techmids I decided to revisit setting up my own blog, because at the end of the day its documentation. Doing it at work then thinking over how to improve is a daily part of our craft. This thought was due to a talk by [Jamie Tanna](https://www.jvt.me/] on his Open Source project Dependency Management Data. Which tangentially led me to his blog and the indieweb movement of taking back control of your content.

This is just another reminder to me that when some people start banging the “free speech” drum, you’re only really free to say sentiments preapproved by the establishment. It’s also easily observed that the people who *say* facts don’t care about feelings consistently and ruthlessly prioritise their discomfort (read: feelings) and use that as feeble justification to reject the facts. Some of you wonder why people like myself couldn’t see you as anything other than a bad-faith actor you present yourselves to be.

So… let me get this straight: Paddy Cosgrave – co-founder & chief executive officer of Web Summit, the largest tech conference in Europe –*correctly* called Israel’s war crimes “war crimes,” originally condemned Hamas’ attack while *correctly* insisting this doesn’t give Israel carte blanche to “break international law,” and everyone from Intel to Siemens is pulling out of the event in response? Listen… you can’t tell me there isn’t a rather coercive and corrupt double standard here.
