stock photo creators lint your CSS challenge (impossible)
a masterpiece
@molly0xfff It’s… it’s so *beautiful*.
@Meyerweb @molly0xfff Dammit! I loaded this page and lost $27M.
@Meyerweb @molly0xfff i wouldn't expect anything less from as a commentary. LMAO
@molly0xfff Detective: zoom! enhance!
Tech wiz: `font-size: 3000%; transform: scale(-1, 1)`
@molly0xfff lol. For a minute I thought someone was ripping off A List Apart 😆
@molly0xfff and the missed opportunity of not making it over 9000%

@molly0xfff Is this piece of art available as NFT?


Yes, I am going to leave now.

@molly0xfff i can't gleam a lot from the photographer (mika baumeister)'s german portfolio site, but i'm very curious what use this css could possibly have besides a gag easter egg for web devs to find 😭
@molly0xfff ah yes, right-to-left reading, lol.
@molly0xfff 😂🤣 Thanks, that made me laugh.

@molly0xfff Now I want to write a linter ruleset that can be run in 'fix' mode to produces stock photo-like output. Rules might include:

- Randomly determine indent depth, change it only after an open or clasing brace. It makes it easy to spot a block you remembered the shape of when scrolling through a long file.

- There should be a n%4 empty lines after a block equal, where the length of the block is n. Spacing matters.

- All numeric units must be specified as a number that has no more than one nonzero digit: 1, 200, and 3000 are all fine. 3100 is not. 16 is way out.

- Terminate lines with extra braces if you feel like it. Syntax errors are just how you tell the parser you love it.

@molly0xfff Hey, 3000% of a 6px base size is still only 180px. That's not an unbearable heading size!

If that heading is a single word.

And yeah, the disparity would still induce shell-shock. But still.

@molly0xfff I’m actually completely obsessed with the smudge in the window title bar where they’ve tried to remove the “UNREGISTERED” text that shows when you’re using an evaluation copy of Sublime Text
@molly0xfff The real hack is that browsers manage to correct the syntax error in line 28
@molly0xfff with the empty line after .column and the missing indentation after .block i'm on the edge! just take all my credentials already
@computersandblues don't miss the mismatched curly brace after the transform!
@molly0xfff why are you doing this
@molly0xfff Because of eye problems I often code with ridicilously sized fonts. So, I guess I'm a cybercriminal now.
Un titre d'article sur un hacker qui a volé 27 millions de dollars en bitcoins, mais l'illustration du hacking en question c'est une capture d'écran de css.
@molly0xfff I'm hearing good things about CSSCoin
@molly0xfff every major website's leftmost/preferred headline font option:

@molly0xfff

those hackers. they know no limits.

News article about a hack.
Zoom in on the graphic shown to represent hacker code, revealing it's actually just some scripting for changing display font.
@molly0xfff the hackers were able to smuggle the stolen funds through a sophisticated cyber-container known on the dark web as a “Flex Box”
@molly0xfff
Clearly they exploited a critical vulnerability in sans-serif fonts in order to hack the wallet.
@molly0xfff CSS = Crypto Stealing Secrets
@molly0xfff And for those of you who are really nerdy about this kind of stuff. He used what we, in the industry, where we know things, call CSS. I won't bore you with the details but...
@tchauhan @molly0xfff oh no! Cross Site Scripting!
soul nate on X

i’m in a code review with elon musk. ive got the CSS for https://t.co/iXbfr5d1Jg on 3 monitors. my browser’s in dark mode so it looks cool. “this part?” he asks, pointing to code for the Giant Omelette. “caches tweets in the mainframe cyberhex,” i say. he nods. “as i suspected”

@amyvdh @molly0xfff I really hope someone really did that. So good.
@molly0xfff Using CSS tricks to hack a server ist fine art :-)
@molly0xfff font-size this big could cause a buffer overflow :p

@molly0xfff here's what I think happened:

"blockchain was hacked again! quick get me an image with a screen of code referring to blocks!"

"got it right here!"

.block {

@molly0xfff I wish I could hack with CSS

@molly0xfff

Tired: Blockchain
Wired: .block

@molly0xfff
It's @eleventy['s documentation button]... I know this!
@me @molly0xfff I think we can all agree that this CSS is… not good 😭

@molly0xfff why is it always CSS. And not even good or correct CSS most of the time!

Like I don't care if an article about a hack uses a stock image of like, hex code, or someone's .bashrc or whatever. But no, it's always CSS.

@molly0xfff you say that, but if the font is big enough, you can look over someones shoulder as they type in their password

Haha, thats me! Had this image in my mind after seeing a advanced selfie video on youtube. Turned out great althought i wish the monitor in front of me was a bit more brighter so that you could understand that it is an monitor without me having to describe it. But, it was too dark to pull out the shadows from that area. – Download this photo by Nahel Abdul Hadi on Unsplash
