Hay #microsoft #msteams , contrast much?
This is the result when sending #msoutlook messages to a teams channel or using "share to teams" for a chat or chat group. 🤢🤮 #dodo 🦤
Not only is this a major #Accessibility issue, but this was the one option that I felt was going to save my workflow from being mired in single-page-trash-app

🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪 When someone said "COOKIE OVERLOAD" this was not what I was expecting. 🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪 #CrowdStrike

I logged back into #pinterest recently after reading about how it's gaining popularity again. Check out how the push and email notification toggles are all hidden behind accordions 🙀 #darkpattern #darkpatterns #DeceptivePatterns #deceptivepattern

Is this #UX issue a #darkpattern #deceptivepattern? No! Don't assume malice before incompetence. The website for Pearson VUE testing centers, where people sometimes reschedule extremely stressful exams they want to be well prepared for, lets users successfully complete the rescheduling process online, and then doesn't actually reschedule them. Testees then show up on the wrong day, possibly with the original testing date passed, and they can't get a refund.

There's an Assoc. Production Specialist position open in #chicago (Hyde Park hybrid in-office/remote):
I think it will be mainly email production, but the team also works with #Drupal and #wordpress #marketo

my workplace in #Chicago is looking for an associate web/email dev. Much of the work will be email production, but we also dev/maintain #drupal and #wordpress sites. There may also be opportunities to work with #acquia and #pantheon services. https://www.linkedin.com/jobs/view/4097050448/

another speedbump was how #ckeditor in #drupal no longer supports link target, title, etc. I wound up needing this contrib module https://www.drupal.org/project/editor_advanced_link

i ran into some peculiar speedbumps building a very basic #drupal 10 site that would be showstoppers for novices:
😬#ckeditor 5 inline images and default admin themes don't apply height:auto, but do set image max-width to 100%, so my giant pixel art displays at the wrong aspect ratio before correcting it in both the admin and default themes
😬this haunted windows vs linux syntax issue with #mysql db config https://www.drupal.org/forum/support/post-installation/2024-03-09/error-drupalmysqldriverdatabasemysqlconnection-not-found
😬the generate-theme based theme ignores block layout order

thanks, #qualtrics
it's sweet that you "miss me" since I haven't logged in recently, but I'm on vacation

@ossobuffo just don't ask me about the site i built using #acquia lightning beta :]

Not a disaster, yet. Upped to #drupal 10.2.1. No #WSOD on the homepage or admin interface, though I haven't tested any other pages or views yet. I thought the #Radix based theme would be a showstopper, but that went ok. There was an odd theme function using hook_preprocess_image() that I had to disable, so now I'm just in the process of testing everything on the frontend :]

counterintuit mailblimp's #tinyletter is going away, also nuking your archives, because their "business priorities have evolved"

Where I can't be the only admin and others may need to inherit my responsibilities, I used to be a big fan of #Virtualmin for shared hosting on a #vps like #linode or #digitalocean. Now I need an #AWS solution for something like that, and #CloudPanel seems pretty neat. Any thoughts / opinions on the long term use of CloudPanel on AWS? I need to set up a CDN on AWS, too for various email and web assets for other services 😬

for web apps that attempt to be Single-Page-Apps SPA), are there any OS-level or network config tricks to speeding up the ones that seem to run in slow-motion due to the number of networks requests and general resource requirements? They slow me down so much with each interaction taking multiple seconds rather than fractions of a second. This Firefox setting doesn't help 😬 #wrike #marketo #salesforce

With all these web based services that try, seemingly superfluously, to perform as Single Page Apps, often disabling the ability to bookmark or organize direct links to current projects and assets that need speedy access, and fumbling on the search functions, I wind up feeling like I'll never be able to quickly find something I need unless someone else tells me or externally documents where to find it. They also break standard browser functionality. Looking at #adobe #salesforce #marketo #wrike

there may be an opening for a temp #marketo email developer (likely hybrid in #chicago). Since very few use Marketo, I'll also list xp in #Mailchimp #Salesforce #Klaviyo #ConstantContact #Convertkit #blah blah blah as relevant. Posting on mastodon seems like a better place to find smart, terminally online email developers than most other networks!

i had surprising success updating two #drupal 8 sites + themes to the latest 9.5.10 (one still needed the #acquia lightning guts removed and entrails tidied up). I didn't get a chance to document much of the fun w/ #composer since i really needed to be in the zone to get things right, but here's a couple #glitch art desktop wallpapers based on screenshots of all the composer errors i had to blaze through :]

i'm updating a #drupal 8 site to 10 and tumbling through some of the changes in #css #scss #sass class conventions, maybe due to the outdated #radix theme? where underscores are now hyphens and various <div> have appeared and disappeared 😬
is there a standard/programmatic way to update the classes at least? 🤔

What's our fav free-tier #email #crm these days? #mailchimp #klaviYO #tinyletter #buttondown #constantcontact etc? This would be for a bunch of small orgs with lists generally less than 200 members. Currently they're just managing BCC lists from their personal email 🤮

is there an open source or free audio recorder that supports #WASAPI loopback recording in #Windows, has the ability to easily add multiple markers while recording and is NOT #audacity ? #ocenaudio supports WASAPI but does not provide the loopback devices audacity does. I know I can install something like VB-Audio or banana, but I'm trying to reduce the number of all these misc drivers and apps needed to simply record audio from an app.

I wish cross-instance full-text search would come to mastodon. Otherwise I'm tempted to compose a toot like "You thought you were going to find a toot about a #marketo or #salesforce outage. heh. NOT!"

getting a lot of #marketo outage alerts this morning. Too bad twabbler turned to trash. I used to be able to go there and search if others were experiencing recent issues which seems more reliable and less superfluous that Adobe's alert system. Be sure to include the vendors as hashtags when posting info about outages! thanks!
