  1. Perhaps the suckiest thing about Mastodon web interface is these "rate limited" popups that not only stop you from editing messages while you wait, but don't even vanish after limitation is over. And which can't be dismissed.

    Even stranger that during the past few hours I had only scrolled few minutes before starting to edit a post to fit 500 chars. Those popups were happening even though I shouldn't have been using bandwidth to begin with!

  5. Ah, #blogging, that ancient art of stating the glaringly #obvious as if one has discovered the Holy Grail 🏆. Thank goodness for bloggers who bravely inform us that pop-ups are annoying! Next, they’ll reveal that water is wet, and the sky is blue 🌧️🌌.

  10. ✨ NEW free Carrd plugin: Native popup modal

    I keep seeing people ask about popups and modals in Carrd. But there's a way to just use native elements to mimic the effect of a popup.

    No need for embed code, no messing around with CSS and HTML.

    🍾 nativepopup.carrd.co

    First time making a 'plugin' without any code, that can be used even on the free Basic plan!

    12ftio — or #12FootLadder — allowed users to view webpages without #ads, #trackers, or #popups by disguising a user’s browser as a #webcrawler, giving them unfettered access to a webpage’s contents. Software engineer Thomas Millar says he created the site when he realized “8 of the top 10 links on Google were paywalled”
