Love to see a uniformed mailman sitting on a deck talking to a dude about Trump and liberal voter fraud. Yeah bud I’m gonna hold onto my ballot and deliver that shit by hand, thanks

File previews are out on mobile! Ever wanted to simply look at a text file on mobile, but instead the app made you download it and open it separately? No longer! If a file is plain text, Discord now shows a button (actor portrayal: ↙️↗️) that opens a modal with the file contents.

Today I shipped a huge change to syntax highlighting in Discord: code blocks and file previews on web are now being highlighted by Tree-sitter, instead of highlight.js.

Not to put too fine of a point on this, but it’s a good reminder that if you want local soccer coverage you need to actively support it.

Schmetzer: ‘You know, you're either talking about really, really, really, really bad luck; Or something that we're doing really, really, really, really wrong. I don't know where that's going to fall, but we're trying to figure it out.’

Well-meaning devs end up creating inaccessible UIs simply because the landscape is so baffling. In #StateofHTML "education" always comes up as the top a11y pain point. PSA: If getting educated in a technology is so hard, the problem lies with the technology. Web accessibility needs a DX overhaul.

It’s my birthday today and my 10mo old has a matching Sounders jersey on to watch one of the few games before his bedtime. Luckily he can’t tell tell which team is scoring yet, cuz this is gonna be rough

I think if the Sounders signed a 27 year old dude who scored 47 goals in 2.5 years in Mexico, Belgium, Argentina, or the Championship everyone would be very happy. I don’t think goalscorer is the biggest issue for Seattle, but it is objectively good to lock up an important position for years.

I think it’s true that the Sounders players have not quit. I think that is telling in that the players seem to not think Schmetzer is the issue

“They’ve never quit. I don’t think you could say in any game ... this game, the last game, the Chivas game, Queretaro, maybe the Portland game, maybe that first Portland game ... it wasn’t our best performance and we should have done better coming out of the World Cup game and that’s on me."
