Besides the current state of the states - I was genuinely shocked when I found out that DrupalCon North America was only ever held in the USA. If DrupalCon Europe was ALWAYS on Guernsey, surely that'd just be DrupalCon Guernsey, and yet...

Windows 11 apps won't ppen. What is error code 0x803f8001? Many Windows 11 users are unable to open apps on their PCs and are running into error code 0x803f8001.

Yup, seems to be happening for any app that is associated with Windows Store: www.windowscentral.com/microsoft/wi...

Sadly there doesn't seem to be a fix yet :-/

Error code 0x803F8001 is preventing some Windows users from opening basic apps like Notepad and Snipping Tool, and it seems to be spreading to third-party apps as well ⤵️

It's with heavy hearts that we share that Claude, our beloved albino alligator, has passed away at the age of 30. Claude brought joy to millions of people at the Academy and across the world during his 17 year tenure. We will miss him dearly. 🤍

Become Clickable ...

This is a #CSS solution to a problem I ran into last year where some mobile browsers combined hover & touch events, leading to accidental clicks of non-visible links.

It was a pain to troubleshoot but adding a 1ms animation to "pointer-events" cured all ills.

Ugh... They are that AND a deeply insidious force that eats away at any movement I have found them within.

If you want your party to be a husk of what it might have been, with nobody left but swappies patting themselves on the back for "sticking it out" by all means...

Ancient wolves on remote Baltic Sea island reveal link to prehistoric humans Scientists have found wolf remains, thousands of years old, on a small, isolated island in the Baltic Sea—a place where the animals could only have been brought by humans.

Another example of what we call "hunter- gatherers" being much more: rather landscape and #biodiversity managers

OK it's done! You can use this tool to preview the available system colors across the major browsers and OS's, without having to spin up BrowserStack - also includes the 4 high-contrast themes for windows: codepen.io/crowjake/pen... #css #frontend

The ever moving goalposts! I do appreciate Bitwarden, as a portable, device-agnostic way to manage passkeys (passwords, 2FA)... It has definitely made my life more liveable during the great enshitification

Windows high-contrast modes and Safari coming soon.

Very curious that Chrome supports more colors in Dark mode than it does in Light mode.

Forced Colors: Scheme ...

Been playing with #css <system-color> names emulating browsers and forced colors (soon) and creating fall-backs to help with compatibility testing and prototyping - there's more to be done, but feel free to fork and experiment yourself: codepen.io/crowjake/pen...

UKCP guidance regarding gender critical views

Hopefully other bodies follow suit... Like this shit-show basically greenlighting the modern version of conversion therapy, whereby anti-trans therapists can tout their services as merely exploratory, and can't be reported for breaching their accreditation: www.psychotherapy.org.uk/news/ukcp-gu...

The bar is so low in tech right now, that ethics are just seen as "bloat".

They talked about having a "human in the loop" to keep their AI accountable but can never tell you under which circumstances the human will say "no" - although probs just when the bid is too low!

One benefit is that it can help differentiate AI with spoofed user agents from legit bots who respect robots.txt (the spoofers have cheeto dust on their fingers)

At least there's that! Might need to get into gaming to escape the garbled monstrosity that will rule over the ruins of the societies that we bankrupted to pay for it.

I must continue to insist that this is not a strong regime. It does not have the kind of pan-societal support needed to enforce Gleichshaltung. It has significant elite buy-in and a small popular coalition, but it is brittle and feeble and will collapse if pressed hard enough.

Happy to count myself among those! I do find irksome that when it *is* remembered it is only remembered as an injustice of forced isolation... We should also remember we did a tough thing to be proud of & saved lives. I've seen YP viewing their problems *only* through the lens of damage, which... 😕

Escaping abusers who flip the blame is self-care, just as resistance is an act of love. Please ground yourself in the root of your compassion, as you persist against white-toothed grinning salesmen telling the cameras that you are somehow the problem. Far from it! Take care of yourselves out here❤️✊
