I got a mechanical keyboard lately and have been setting up keyboard shortcuts. Been noticing that firefox seems to eat them, though. Any way to prevent that @FirefoxDevTools ?

@devtoolstips The firefox implementation only works on JS files, I think. I'm not able to override the page's main document.

@mandclu @mikemccaffrey not to my knowledge, no

@mikemccaffrey Counterpoint: background-blend-mode. You can't do it with an absolutely-positioned img tag

Got a review request.

For 15 lines of JS including a for loop.

To find all elements matching a selector and to apply a single style.

JS Devs will do anything to not learn CSS.

Okay, lots of talk about Mozilla becoming an ad company (ew). Out of curiosity, *approximately* how much would you honestly pay for an open-source, privacy-respecting, bloat-free web browser?

Something like Firefox, if you knew your money was 100% going towards Firefox development and not the pockets of Mozilla execs or their Pocket/AI/AdTech side ventures.

It's time to restart #DDEV Contributor Training. I'd like to ask your suggestions about this list, what's important to you, what else you'd like training on, which you'd like to do earlier rather than later: 20240423-contributor-trainin.d

@mandrasch @lullabot I think that’s a great idea

Why would you use #DDEV instead of a #Node or #Python server directly?

There are significant advantages to using a containerized setup like DDEV. We go over them in this article, and include a step-by-step guide to set it up.

@andy_blum helps introduce DDEV to a new audience that may not know about how useful it can be!

Ever worked on #nodejs projects locally and wished for a more standardized, production-like experience for your team? Try @ddev! I walk you through setting your local up with #docker #containers in my latest article on @lullabot
