Looking forward to James OB’s monologue today

Wine 11 rewrites how Linux runs Windows games at the kernel level, and the speed gains are massive Wine 11 is the biggest jump for Linux gaming in years.

Wine 11 réécrit la gestion des jeux Windows sous Linux au niveau du noyau avec NTSYNC : +678% de FPS sur Dirt 3, de 26 à 77 FPS sur Resident Evil 2. Fini les workarounds esync/fsync, la synchronisation se fait enfin directement dans le kernel. ⬇️

One of my real pet hates with Windows 11 is the fact that you can only have the taskbar on the bottom of the screen.
On my personal Linux machines I have it on the left of my leftmost monitor, as I used to with MacOS and in Windows 7, 8.1 and 10

Not sure about Andy’s new talk title

CachyOS was buggy for me. Ended up settling on Fedora with KDE Plasma.
I use the ThinkPad more than my desktop now. So there is probably a Framework in my future

This inspired me to read your Linux post. A lovely read considering I’m going through a similar transition.

Was it just me expecting Tom to say, “I’m in my Dining Room”

Pivot to renewables and remove our reliance on burning stuff we dig out of the ground, enriching people to the point they kill each other?

I did the same when I rediscovered this place.
I deleted my account a couple of months ago too. I forget what the final trigger was, there have been so many.
I just decided I didn’t want to be on there at all. I wouldn’t sign up for “Truth” so why stay on a similar platform

If this were the “Other Place” you’d be overrun by “Not all men” bros by now.

I’ll have to give it a watch

My daughter last night came up with a portmanteau nickname for her “Wicked Blanket” which I have had to diplomatically dissuade her from

Day off work today

Instead of transforming data with code, I’m drawing pretty boxes with it.

All while watching cosy content on YouTube.

Nice change of pace.

If the agency you hired is using AI generated images like this, they are doing you a disservice, over-charging you and doing irreparable damage to your brand.

The thought of doing that makes us sick at @set.studio, so if you're looking for an agency that actually cares, check us out.

Part 0 of my new blog post series #DaveGoesLinux should be out this evening.

Inspired by @davatron5000.bsky.social's #DaveGoesWindows series from, checks notes, 11 years ago (oh dear god am I that old)

In the meantime, give their wonderful series a read

Have a cup of tea to cool you down

A CSS Custom Properties quirk I just stumbled upon

`color: var(--theme-defined-color, var(--fallback-color));`

If I set `--theme-defined-color: inherit`, it is rendering `--fallback-color`, not the color defined in the parent element.

Why is that?

If I set --theme-defined-color to an explicit value, it renders that color
