This might be a somewhat unusual post, but I’ve made a pledge to myself to financially support Fediverse creators whose content I enjoy and I’d like to make an attempt to inspire others to do the same.

I want to make it very clear that the amount you donate does not matter! It’s not a competition.

I make small donations (~1-5$/mo) to some of my favourites because I plan on supporting them indefinitely which is usually better than one-time donations. This unfortunately also means that it will require multiple people to work well, but if we can build a reputation for the Fediverse as a place where people are likely to support your work then it would naturally become more appealing to post here.

I use Liberapay whenever I can because it lets me choose how much I want to donate and how frequent which makes this easy to manage.

You can of course experiment with the conditions (e.g: type of creators), the donation amount or donation frequency. Use what works for you, and again, what matters is that you support someone, not the amount!

The CSS Working Group has published a First Public Working Draft of Animation Triggers. It defines CSS properties and an API for creating mechanisms that affect animation playback, based on DOM events resulting from user interaction, or on entry/exit of ranges on animation timelines.

In simple terms: this will let you start animations based on defined triggers, like mouse clicks or certain scroll (progress) events.

A senseless destruction of so many animals' lives for the pursuit of enriching the few.

Stop supporting Big Tech, starting with your browser, search engine and email... a small act goes a long way.

Today, the Commission has designated ChatGPT as a Very Large Online Search Engine (VLOSE), as well as Reddit and Roblox as Very Large Online Platforms (VLOPs), under the Digital Services Act (DSA). These services declared that they reach at least 45 million average monthly users in the EU and thus meet the threshold for designation.

Following the notification of the designations, these services have four months, i.e. by January 2027, to comply with the additional DSA obligations for VLOPs and VLOSEs, such as assessing and mitigating the systemic risks stemming from their service and algorithmic systems related to the dissemination of illegal content, the negative effects on minors, users' physical and mental well-being, fundamental rights, electoral processes and public security.
