another day, another example of how utterly shit Apple Music's search is. once again, it seems that it simply ignores compilation albums when searching your local library. I'm not asking for AI or some other bullshit...just some basic string matching. C'mon Tim Apple, sort this shit out! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SvWiRr3-Bgw

it's certainly ballsy for #OpenAI to unashamedly go for the "i'd wank to Scarlet's voice so hard!" techno-incel market

trying to think what use one can actually make of https://2023.stateofhtml.com/en-US/features/accessibility/ (also noting that focusgroup doesn't actually exist, so not really a "standard") #a11y #accessibility

thanks to Bitmap Books I just discovered this and had a major nostalgia pang ... ended up buying a few prints https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/BobWakelinArtwork (batman and hunchback did it for me) #art #illustration #retro #gaming #retrogaming

quick and dirty shot of the front and back of the leinster gardens fake facade #photography

the back of the house, showing it's just a facade in between real buildings, and behind the facade you see a deep open cut with tube tracks and steel girders above

after a very meh early afternoon of boring non-photogenic locations, managed to get to trellick tower just time for the sun to just briefly poke out #photography #london

PSA: :only-child. :last-child, :first-child in #css ignore text nodes ... so if you have something like <li>some text <a href="#">and a link</a></li> but you're trying to only target list items that ONLY contain a link and nothing else, li > a:only-child will still apply to the above...

Apple: iPadOS is actually a separate thing from iOS

Apple: no, not like that...

oh, congrats to the apple music team ... seems your search (when searching local library) is unable to find titles of compilation albums. i mean, i guess nobody tested this, right?

random #music throwback to this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fl7rLWRR_yY ... which i used in the early 2000s to cut myself a custom alarm/ringtone using the first 30 seconds or so, and i still use it on my phone to this day...
