For E2E testing of React components, I'm trying cypress.io
Since it's all JS/TS, I'm trying an extra thing - exporting a DOM selector (e.g. "#result-shelf") as a constant string, and referencing that in both the component & the test. If my selector(s) change, the project won't build unless I fix both tests & code.

Learning the Zola static site generator has been interesting. In particular I'm having fun with stuff like this:

```
[extra]
social = [
{icon="round-evernote", title="@astralfrontier", url="https://dice.camp/@astralfrontier", mastodon = true},
{icon="round-evernote", title="@astralfrontier", url="https://mstdn.social/@astralfrontier", mastodon = true},
...
]
```

I added code to the templates that automatically adds Mastodon verification tags to the head element, based on that mastodon=true value.

Haha I joked about putting a Rust project on Github as my final descent into darkness and now I learn about this #Rust framework called #Yew

U.S. Press Freedom Tracker

The U.S. Press Freedom Tracker is a project that aims to comprehensively document press freedom incidents in the United States — such as the arrests of journalists, seizures of their equipment, interrogations and searches at the U.S. border, subpoenas to testify about sources, leak prosecutions and physical attacks. The Press Freedom Tracker documents cases across the country, involving national, state and local authorities.

I cannot keep this to myself. There is a website (radio.garden) where you can listen to radio stations all over the world for free. No log in. No email address. Nothing.

When the site loads, you are looking at the globe. Slide the little white circle over the green dots (each green dot is a radio station) until you find one you like.

I have been listening to this station in the Netherlands and it absolutely slaps.

EDIT: Replies tell me that this doesn't function in the UK without a VPN.

Hey kids, I hate to share bad news but the racists are here. Still low-key, but definitely seeing more of them in the last several days.

Just blocked one who's doing a year-end rundown of his social media apps like Parler, Gettr, and Gab.

Another block today was a supposed Ukrainian arguing with several Black people and using "pidgin" English in their bio where they explicitly state they're neither Black, nor African.

Not yet overt, but the wave is clearly here.

Be prepared, Block liberally.

One thing about getting off #GMail is that it's forcing me to unsubscribe from all this shit I'd otherwise let pile up in a Promotions tab for eventual mass deletion
