I need more respondents on this form if you could? https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSc97QgOnDCeU_SyIO2odV0PE7A0wiWCdb32uGd2pGy16JVoKw/viewform

The question is should we change the name of https://piccalil.li?

It's currently split right down the middle…

Thanks pals!

If for some reason you’re confused who the bad guys are.

The Tory’s grand stand policy is flying — probably only hundreds of asylum seekers to Rwanda to “stop the boats”.

Labour’s grand stand policy is to nationalise rail to actually invest in the country’s key infrastructure.

Hey folks, I've moved my @andy account to here now.

I've been toying with the idea of moving off my self-hosted instance for a while and decided I didn't want to move to mastodon.design or front-end.social et al because I don't really wanna be pinned into one thing, long term.

The move was smooth, but I have missed some people that I follow, so if we were mutuals, let me know!

I lost a few hundred followers too but that aint a big deal. It's just a vanity metric innit.

Something that I just can’t fathom during the Super Bowl is the advert discourse.

Personally, when I watch live sports, the second an ad break starts, I mute that shit and scroll on my phone until it’s over.

I can’t imagine having an emotional connection to an advert.

I don't know who needs to hear this (me) but you don't have to mess around calculating an aspect-ratio in CSS.

Say you've got a Figma comp and the element is 500px wide and 280px high, the CSS is:

.my-element {
aspect-ratio: 500/280;
}

Scales beautifully.

You know what I really want?

A light, handheld e-ink device that I can both read books on, but also read Feedbin on.

Is there a device out there?

We’ve started a new project which requires heavy, creative theming, so I made a prototype to test some ideas out.

I am the neighbour in this case. We’ve lived next door to ours for 3 years + and I have no idea what their names are, but they very much know mine.

Luckily, I’m from Yorkshire, so calling them m8 does the job lol

I really like paying good writers so I thought I’d recommend a handful of publications I’m paying for and look at how they do things.
