I've noticed over the last couple years a bit of a disturbing trend. As Chrome has dominated the browser market, web developers have increasingly developed their tools exclusively for use with Chrome.
The issue here is 2 fold. First, the more this happens, the more it locks people OUT of using the few remaining alternatives.
Second, Google Chrome by design sends virtually every bit of data that goes through it to Google. So it seems like this makes anything on it inherently insecure.

There is no quest so relentless as collecting things you don't even know you need until you see them, and you know you need more somehow even if you don't know what it is.

Let's appreciate our raccoon friends on this International Raccoon Appreciation Day!!

Acrylics over a curated an important cardboard from a very cheap pizza place in New York City. It traveled two countries to be painted!

And it's coming back to the country of its origin if I exhibit it at the MFF's Art Show.

Shooting film for still shots is a bit more expensive than shooting digital obviously for the cost of the film and developing. Even if you get the stuff and develop / scan yourself.
But motion picture film is in a whole different realm of cost. Like even the least expensive option, Super 8 is like $50 for a 50' roll (about 3 minutes of shooting time) and another $40-$50 for development and scanning.
So around $100 per 3 minutes.
Nostalgia is expensive there.

It's the first of the month.

The Orange Site will be posting an assload of job openings.

There are tools in the "whoishiring" OP to filter all the "hybrid" and onsite jobs.

Even if you're ultimately not interested or even qualified, it'd be funny if a lot of people told them "yeah onsite/hybrid isn't an option for me, are you open to remote?"

Because, let's be real, recruiters hear back from very few people that aren't interested, so they're going to collect data on that. And if they hear 10 or so people say "remote only or bust" (regardless of your actual qualifications or interest), that will get circulated up to HR.

Which means they'll have to make the case for allowing remote employees.

And if they succeed, then the barrier to entry to the tech industry gets lowered for folks living outside of a big tech city.

So, I'm not saying we should do a little trolling.

I'm not saying that.

But if your conscience is? We'll, I don't blame it.

It’s very rare to hear of any positive world-leading policy from round here these days, but the UK’s now the first country to bin off coal power in favour of renewables. And they did it when they said they would too!

I’m not one for feelings of national pride at all. But for all the shit over the last decade, it’s good to see something nice for once.

"You have found my darkest secret," the dragon said. "You can never reveal it."

"I will not," said the knight, "but why is it such a horrible secret?"

"It's my one vulnerability."

"This?"

The knight scritched between the dragon's horns.

"Mmm," it purred.

"This is nice."

"Mrrmrm."

@Darkhorse WinterWolf πŸ‡ͺπŸ‡Ί I just thought to turn off wifi on my phone and tried it from there over mobile internet (should have thought to try that before)… and it worked. Then connected to wifi again… and it still worked. Still doesn't work on my laptop on wifi. I wonder if they just don't like desktop firefox! Oh well, done now. Thanks.

For some reason at first they showed my bike as uninsured, then when I tried again it showed up as insured. That inspires confidence. πŸ™„

I saw The Wild Robot last night, and rarely has a film ever felt so close to my heart.

So much beauty and sweetness, but well balanced with some dark wit and mortality themes. It all blends so poignantly, and so many times during the movie I just felt so profoundly in love with it.

Also haven’t cried this much in a long time, but if that sounds like a warning or a negative, it isn’t. This movie couldn’t have come at a better time, and I hope it makes a billion because it should.

If May 2033 = 100, then UK users now down to below 70.

That was: alarm at 7am (a little before sunrise), breakfast, bike gear, pre-ride checks, (send message to ride leader apologising for lateness), ride to Leatherhead, refuel (another message giving ETA), ride to Box Hill, meet others, pre-ride briefing, long long ride to Bodiam in Kent, early lunch/snack (I had hot chocolate and a chunk of rocky road), ride back, but split off from the group at Westerham, ride to Telehouse in the Docklands, check cabinets in the datacentre, find I'm really tired and stop for food and drink (Dr Pepper, a sausage roll and a bag of crisps), ride home, stopping off for expensive fuel at motorway services, arrive home after dark. 240 miles plus in total.
