So
@elonmusk
has just blatantly violated copyright law...anyone surprised?
The new X logo is almost IDENTICAL to the X in a font called Special Alphabets 4.
And that font...is not licensed in a way that allows for it to be used as a logo.

You aren't in a position to say "do what you want with it"...as the logo was, as you stated, stolen from a font & the final submission was reverted back to the original font styling.
Copyright and licensing is complex, you were not to know better, but Musk / his lawyers should.

Farewell Twitter.
As Twitter is dying & after seeing the source code yesterday I’ve decided to find a new home for my networking & my content
After testing a few platforms, I have decided MySpace is the best place for my content going forward, so connect with me there. 🫶🫶🫶

None, learn CSS, it means you will then not be stuck on a framework when the newest and shiniest one comes out and know how to fix limitations of frameworks if you want to do a custom design.
Learn the box model, selector specificity and positioning and you will crush it!
Graham's guide to growing on tech twitter:
1. Write meaningless platitudes at least 3 times a day. e.g.
"You can do it, just commit to it",
"Set goals, not todo items"
Say things that sounds smart, but aren't...guaranteed 300 likes!

🎉 congratulations
@kunalstwt
🎉
100k followers is an amazing milestone!
Much deserved with all the great content you put out and all of the work you do in the community! ❤️
Everyone show Kunal some love!
OK
@t3dotgg
gave a really mild take on the accessibility drama that was really balanced and well thought out...urrggh, I wanted some spicy spice! 😱😂💗
I feel like it is now up to me to add the much needed spice! 😈
Here goes, I haven't done an "angry rant" in over a year,

Easy one to start...
Just saying in publicly, as I just committed to this in Danny’s space.
When I land a new job & get my first pay cheque…$500 donation so

can give away some more Udemy courses without it all coming from his pocket!
Just my way of saying thanks to the community💗💗
How many errors can you spot in this HTML?
<nav role="nav" class=navigation>
<uL>
<li>one</li>

+3 virtual internet points for every error you find
-2 virtual internet points for any mistakes!
Good luck 🤞🏼

Not even a joke, I look after some legacy sites that serve over 100,000 people a month. The hosting is $15 a month.
For smaller stuff, simple is better, even if it isn’t sexy.
Hey I'm on Mastodon, bye Twitter...
Hey I'm on BlueSky, bye Twitter...
Same shit, different day.
See you all in 4 weeks, when you get bored and come back (again)! 🤣💗
It happened!
@DThompsonDev
is now in the…wait for it…
🎉🚀 200k club! 🚀🎉
I know you don’t care about the numbers and it is just a vanity metric Danny, but still, it has to be worth a celebration! 🔥
I smell a Twitter space incoming!
@t3dotgg
Normally love your takes but this one seems a little off.
What if someone is dyslexic and wants to change the font to something more readable to them.
Or what if they get distracted / have a vestibular disorder that is triggered by motion on a site that auto plays videos or
🔥🎙️ The biggest Tech Twitter event EVER! 🎙️🔥
An ambitious plan to hold a 7 day CONTINUOUS Twitter space...that is 168 hours long!
To make this happen I need people to volunteer to run "spaces" (2 hour sessions) during the event.

Can I ask that we stop using 🫶 to express our love this valentine's day?
I keep thinking it means “choke me” and it is going to get me into trouble...😱🤣💗
My handle is now
@GrahamTheDev
!
After an amazing livestream I realised I needed to clean up my profile, so step 1 is done!
✅ Make my handle more memorable!
To do: fix header, fix pinned tweet, fix profile picture, fix bio, niche down my tweets a bit and tweet more...yikes!
So I just completed the design for my personal site, ready for development...I am excited! 🚀
Not giving too much away, but this over-the-top logo sting might give a clue to the style...maybe!
Site coming soon(ish)™ 💗
Continuing on with improving my twitter profile:
- changed name to
@GrahamTheDev
✅
- new banner ✅
- new profile pic ✅
- new bio ✅
- pinned tweet ❌
- niche tweets ❌
Slow but steady progress, what does everyone think of the rebrand v0.1❓

Nope, sorry Theo, I think perhaps it is time you went to sleep as you are hallucinating 😱🤣💗

@warikoo
...jeez Twitter, can I have a more balanced timeline please?
I guess you should all come too:
I had an idea last night, "Accessibility As A Service".
I dismissed it at first as the abbreviation is...errrmmm..questionable.
But then I realised it could be the greatest marketing campaign ever!
"I have the best AAAS!"
"Does your company need some AAAS?"
😱😂💗
In less than 10 hours I get to meet the myth, the legend…

Couple that with spending the week with the
@dailydotdev
team (and being spoiled rotten!) in London, this is a pretty amazing week! 💜
It's official.
@GrahamTheDev
is FINALLY on the market for a developer advocate position.
Who is he, you ask?
He's the most qualified individual for pretty much any DevRel position - particularly on frontend, accessibility, and/or marketing-focused ones.
Comment below if you
Name is decided!
Rough logo done...not much left to do until official invites go out and we see if we can get enough people to make "Spaceageddon" happen! 🤞
