Coming to #Tusky nightly today: Creating polls!
#tuskydev

Hey, I have a blind friend who might want to join us on the Fediverse. Does anyone have a guide to accessibility etc that might be more useful than me just sending her a link to an instance?

Thank you for the stickers, and inviting me to join working with @Tusky à year ago, @ConnyDuck

I love working with you! 💞

Tusky stickers will show up at #ActivityPubConf!

Or I could just do like Robin Rendle and say fuck it to AMP: https://www.robinrendle.com/notes/taking-shortcuts.html

"Here’s my hot take on this: fuck the algorithm, fuck the impressions, and fuck the king. I would rather trade those benefits and burn my website to the ground than be under the boot and heel and of some giant, uncaring corporation."

it's actually just broken: the CSP the page serves includes directives that override the unsafe-inline declaration anyway. somehow chrome thinks this is normal and goes along with it, but firefox rightfully errs on the safe side?

here's a little leftist ideology primer for any newbies out there (remember, its ok not to know this stuff!):

marxist = gay
anarchist = bisexual
leftcom = asexual
posadist = sapio sexual

If you like #Tusky 🐘 you can support the team on #OpenCollective https://opencollective.com/tusky

Creating polls is probably the highlight, but the new search and the "always expand content warnings" are also pretty cool

I wish I could release #Tusky 9 already! So many cool new features and improvements

@Ferretsyndicate one unfortunate downpoint in recent times which we cannot ignore:

in 2009 Toronto garbage workers and all outdoor and indoor city workers went on strike for 35 days, and while they got the city to reach an agreement, the backlash put Rob Ford (yes, that Rob Ford) into the mayor's office the next year and then he privatized all trash collection west of the city's meridian (and almost succeeded doing the same east of the meridian) to a company w/o union members https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2009_City_of_Toronto_inside_and_outside_workers_strike

Remember: in 1968 NYC garbagemen struck and within a week, the city's mayor was on his knees begging for mercy. It lasted all of 8 days.

Then, two years later in Ireland, bankers went on strike for *6 months* and the economy kept on growing and history has largely forgotten it even happened.

Capitalists need you more than you need them.

At the top of Hacker News is an article about defecation on the street, and instead of asking for public toilets, it blames the people who are homeless.

https://www.wsj.com/articles/californias-biggest-cities-confront-a-defecation-crisis-11565994160

As usual, rather than helping people hurt by social disparities, the Wall Street Journal decided to allow an editorial advocating for further trampling of people already being kicked around by society. And go figure that Hacker News votes it to the top.
