If having nipples doesn't stop anyone from calling themselves a man, why should having a penis stop anyone from calling themselves a woman? Both are vestiges of a sex and gender not identified with.
We were going to use a sample of a hellfire preacher in one of our songs but then thought twice about copyright issues. Then I was volunteered to recreate the sermon myself. Here's a clip. "Enjoy".
@heydon They are just Tories. I want them in, but I also immediately want public pressure on them for a lot of reform of how our political systems work. The system is fucked.
Honestly, I hope my website is used to train AI. Can't wait for a Google search assistant to tell someone JavaScript will cause them to bleed out of their bum.
@heydon My https://meat-gpt.sonnet.io became viral largely because a bunch of shitty AI sites picked it up and hallucinated its purpose + some marketing copy. 100% a great SEO strategy imho
It doesn't matter what ARIA Authoring Practices says. If you implement patterns that suppress tab interaction in favour of binding arrow keys (for tabs, menus, etc) your users will be confused and blocked. They will also hate you. As I said in a recent talk:
There are two ways you can make websites less accessible with ARIA:
I think Angular users may even be worse than React users, on the whole, for using the wrong markup for stuff. Looking at a page with background images on <div>s instead of, well, images and a form made out of <li> and <a> elements with button roles instead of checkboxes and radios. Oh and not even in a <form> element, just a <div>.
@heydon yup, that's a problem that's easy to miss (and hard to correct)... also there's a new control-flow feature which moves them further away from HTML syntax 🙈 https://angular.io/guide/control_flow
Just read on BBC News that the new version of ChatGPT can flirt. Who is that for? Who asked for that? Who's interested in being chatted up by an ephemeral cloud of stolen reddit posts? Told by a soulless megazord of pilfered landing pages that it wants to "smash your back doors in 🥵"?
And why is the BBC, of all institutions, letting me know this radically pathetic experience is becoming available?
Currently obsessed with Mudhoney. Many may write them off as "grunge also-rans". Not only was the term 'grunge' coined to describe their sound, but it's not the overdriven DS-1 sound of their more famous peers. It's 60s style germanium fuzz. They were the first grunge band to break the UK, the band's singer, Mark Arm, packages and ships their records himself and--for my money--their post grunge era records are their best. Oh! And they have lyrics about shithead antivaxxers.
@heydon Just banged on their latest album while gardening. Ooof. Good stuff! Was vaguely aware of it coming out and people saying good things about it, but that was up there energy-wise with their early stuff! Thx for rec!
Does anyone have any experience with SVG filters but applied to <canvas>? Before I go down that rabbit hole, does using them with <canvas> improve performance at all, or should I expect the same jankiness?
@heydon nice, Gotoh offers great quality for a fair price! Did you notice a difference when playing? Different bridge can have a huge impact. Also what scale is this one?
sigh I have an American client who is having trouble, they say, being able to convert to £ (their end) for paying me. I have business bank account for my LTD that only accepts £ or €, apparently.
Anyone know of a way around this? A service either they or I could use? I would really prefer not to change bank accounts. Wish I'd know Starling was this limited at the outset.
