This isn’t quite high resolution enough for Unsplash, but here’s a picture of a bee I took.
He was a very good subject and sat on my finger for a good 15 minutes before I set him down.
Oh my, I love this new CSS lh unit. It’s equal to the computed line-height. This is gonna make inline SVGs and icons so much easier! I’m in ecstasy.
I just came across this: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Device-Memory
This could be wicked for optimizing sites based on the devices accessing them. I can only hope it isn’t just horrifically exploited for fingerprinting (let’s face it, it will be).
I must say, these OpenAI and Sam Altman shenanigans have been better drama than anything I think I’ve seen on television. The plot twists are out of this world and I genuinely have no idea what will happen next.
The new Mutant Remix site, developed by yours truly for Revolt, is up!

I think I can actually feel parts of my brain flaking away as I write JavaScript.
I’ve spent far longer than I wish to admit getting the Domino’s App feat Hatsune Miku working on my iPad 4, but I finally managed it today.

Considering buying a Flipper Zero. Anyone got any first hand experience? Is it worth the $322 AUD price tag?

I re-watched Hackers (1995) yesterday evening. For any tech lovers looking for a demented 90s hacker film, you can’t go wrong. Objectively, it isn’t great, but it has very much cemented itself as a cult classic. It’s worth a watch.
