When clicking on an external link in my Facebook feed, the link opens in an in-app browser with a Debug menu in the top left and an FPS indicator in the top right of the page. When I click on the Debug menu I see logs about MetaScreenshotCapture API, IABScreenshotJS module, and IABScreenshotCaptureJSController. When I Google these terms I don’t find anything.
Does anyone know what this is? Should I be concerned?

Is it known how Rippling obtained information about D.S.' Slack activity? Does Slack provide this information or did Rippling obtain this information by running third party monitoring software on D.S.' machine?
The complaint goes into a lot of detail. Start at page 16 and read through at least page 23 if you want to understand what Ripling could discern from the spy's Slack usage.
> In part to ensure that the confidential information in Rippling’s Slack channels is used only for authorized purposes, Rippling employees’ Slack activity is “logged,” meaning every time a user views a document through Slack, accesses a Slack channel, sends a message, or conducts searches on Slack, that activity (and the associated user) is recorded in a log file.
Enterprise Slack - everything is audited, and searchable with appropriate permissions. Your slacks on company time or with company equipment are not private from said company.
Depends on the country. There might be visa requirements to enter it.
Ukrainian citizens are no longer allowed to leave freely. Men are not allowed to leave, that seems to be confirmed. According to some sources women working in certain sectors like health care either, not sure whether that is confirmed.
Normally at a border you have guards from both countries . First you need to leave one country and then you can enter the next one. I have no idea how effective Ukrainian border guards are. Until last week they were not needed for this purpose.
First of all, the policy is Ukrainian one, the Poles are taking in practically everybody with an Ukrainian passport, it would be inhumane no to do so.
But Ukrainians are understandable too, and some men are allowed to leave. On the other hand, there are also some returning home from Poland. Imagine you went to Poland in order to provide for your family and your family is left at home. There are many cases like this. In such a situation going back is often the only option - staying away would only cause constant suffering with you being anxious if your wife and kids are safe at that moment or not, and frantically reading all reports of bombing and civilian casualties.
WordPress is the Excel of Web Development. Especially when people keep building complicated flows with it, for which it was not designed for. OTOH, the UI is known by everyone and is intuitive, so from a users perspective "it just works", and "you can do these advanced stuff if you learn scripting a bit".
Many projects explicitly look for freelance WordPress developers, it's a huge market and I respect it deeply, but I'm glad my career put me in a position where I can totally ignore it.
Exactly. But Wordpress has been a resounding success because there is such a demand to own your data, brand and relationships. To have CONTROL over your own site and choice in hosting.
There has to be something like Wordpress for Web 2.0, so we can break the oligopoly of Facebook, LinkedIn, et al. and move the world from digital Feudalism to a Free Market:
Most businesses care about getting stuff done and making money, not about the merits of the tools being used. In one financial firm where I worked, they were using Excel for running financial models (I am not making this up). It will often crash, users constantly complained - but when I offered to rewrite their models using databases and a programming language, I was instantly shot down. They didn't want to touch a system that has been working for a while, even with all of its problems.
So they stuck with Excel, even when they had access to a programmer.
Programmers can laugh all they want at Excel, Wordpress, PHP etc - but these are tools that get stuff done quickly and make businesses a ton of money. So businesses will continue to use them, even if there are much superior tools around.
> Programmers can laugh all they want at Excel, Wordpress, PHP
I don't laugh at them. I see many people more clever than me working with tech I don't like, and making more money than I make. It's completely OK. I even wrote some PHP lately, and while my humble opinion generally hasn't changed (that I'm too dumb to use PHP), it's clearly VERY fast and easy to get started, while there are many people throwing money at you when you are good at it. If you are competitive and can work with weird setups (which is a given for many customers seeking freelancers), and under stress, then why leave money on the table.
Some may take what I'm saying like a snipe disguised as humility, but I'm completely honest. No sarcasm at all.
I think it's because many websites are incrementally built on. It's a case of tacking on this extra bit of complicated functionality vs rebuilding the entire site from scratch and migrating existing content to it in a new tool.
ISO 8601 is proprietary and people can’t even read it without each paying a $170 access fee. Instead, prefer IETF RFC 3339 (mentioned in your link) which is a more practical open standard.
In prose, use month names (i.e. 1st Jan 1979, or Jan 1st 1970). Where numbers must be used for some reason use four-digit-year first if you can. If you can't use the dictated standard or, if there isn't one (raising the obvious question of why that would be), go with the form that will be familiar to most of your readers.
In other words, as with all things, prefer unambiguous forms but consider and respect your audience.
How do British people pronounce the date that they write as 15 September, 2021? Americans write the date the same way we pronounce it (September 15), but this leads to the unfortunate mm/dd/yy style of abreviation.
As I was first looking at my post, I did have that mental flip/reverse-aphasia take place where you don't know how that spelling is even a word. I wonder if some German was adding to the ambiguity.
