Twenty one pilots at the O2

Knew it’d be good, but it exceeded all expectations 🤘

BlueSky adding features no one asked for rather than simple quality of life features feels like an own goal

Been meaning to watch this, after such a glowing review I know what I’m doing over Christmas

Who is motion blur for? Why is this enabled by default?

what an experience

Sleep Token, the O2

Sleep token day! Just need to survive work

So when do those 4-day work weeks start? Could go for another day off

The ability for communities to self-moderate gives me hope that it has better long-term prospects than most social media

Brain says 1, then depending on the project I'll often go back to update it to 2 because that's the project's standard.

Actually had an issue with 2, a project failed to build due to case-insensitivity on Mac and people capitalising different letters

It has been a fun small break from my main project. I have a couple other ideas for Bluesky which I may visit soon.

Word Cloud | Bluesky Stats Word cloud of recently new and trending topics on Bluesky. Experiment using Bluesky Firehose, content is user-generated from BlueSky app.

Seen cool projects with Bluesky firehose and wanted to do a quick one of my own cloud.scrll.ing

Real-time word cloud of #BlueSky top topics. refreshes every ~10 seconds, prioritises new content (<3 hours).

Thieving, got to 99 thieving when old school was just “RuneScape” 😅

I’m hoping for Gears E day but given it was only announced with no gameplay, I’m guessing early/mid 2026.

Gears focused on horror/locust again will be great, liked the newer games but never quite had the horror vibe.

I have a script at work to fix data after a migration, it’s called “one-off-script”…

Safe to say it’s now been ran several times in the last few weeks, and I don’t have the heart to rename it

Have you managed to play Sonic 3 as an adult? It has such a distinct feel compared to 1 and 2. Remember it being my favorite of the 3.

Put the accused air pod in the case, close it and see if it shows a green light. Take the ear tip off, close the case - if it’s orange then the ear tip is causing issues. Have the same with mine

Good to see some Enter Shikari on your list, surprised they’ve not made an account yet

STALKER 2 on Gamepass is a nice surprise, terrible for getting busy and forgetting games I recently bought. Runs alright on a 3080, 2K (DLSS though and the odd screen tear).

I've found that one of my headphones doesn't reliably charge if the ear tip is attached. To guarantee they both charge, I have to take it off.

Breaking Benjamin new release is so good. They’ve never strayed too far from their sound but I’m never getting tired of it 🤘

Admittedly the latest is on my Christmas playlist! They’ve all packed an emotional punch in different ways, it’s why I’ve always rated highly.

What’s your favorite in the Life Is Strange series?

How many times have people suggested you throw out the box of cables? This is the prime example of why you don’t! I will use the hundred or so meters of Ethernet cable one day, I swear.

Seeing Bad Omens open for BMTH this year was definitely a highlight 🤘 Sleep token next

Using vanilla JS is perfectly valid, jQuery too (it’s still used on the majority of websites). It really depends on your project.

When I was younger, I built a simple excel-like app using jQuery/PHP. Having access to a framework would have saved so much time.

That’s my quick run down.

Now more frameworks are adding server-side features to pre-render/statically generate more, then the client takes over. So it (jokingly) feels like things are going full circle, so the next step is more jQuery! Then back to frameworks.. and the cycle continues 😆

I remember when Google released autocomplete and instant result, it was a game changer!

jQuery helped a lot with cross browser support (I’ve heard good things about jQuery4). Frameworks helped further, managing state, introducing a lot of good practices and re-usability to code.

The post was a little bit tongue-in-cheek.

When I first started I’d use PHP, doing the heavy lifting server-side. When Ajax was being added everywhere things got more dynamic, loading in data and manually updating the DOM. Less pre-rendering, JavaScript doing more work.
