I've added a "copy" button to all my code samples.

The JS is surprisingly lightweight.

<button class=copy onclick="navigator.clipboard.writeText( this.parentNode.lastChild.textContent );" title="Copy code">⧉</button>

Wonder if there's any other semantics / accessibility stuff I need to consider?

This is very weird. I had a passport.net account with Microsoft from 2010. Obviously that service has long since been discontinued.

Today I received this legitimate email from MS to that account saying my storage is full.

But when I try to sign into MS, it doesn't recognise the old account.

I am 100% sure this isn't spam. It comes from MS, only links to their website, passes SPF, DKIM, etc.

I wonder which old service is gradually filling up? How on earth can I sign in?

Any #NixOS friends understand what these errors are and how to fix them?
They show up just before I type in my disk encryption password.
Oh no!!! My National Insurance Number has been compromised due to fraud on the northern border of Wales!

Three years after planting, and it was time to give our eucalyptus tree a bit of a trim.

Here's a before and after shot.

Still haven't attracted any 🐨 to London yet. But now our house is filled with the delicious smell of eucalyptus oil.

I think I've found a font rendering bug in #Firefox (and possibly Safari).

On the National Theatre website, Ronkẹ Adékọluẹ́jọ́'s name doesn't embolden characters with diacritical marks.

As far as I can see, the included Web Font contains é (U+00E9) and both ́ (U+0301) & ̣ (U+0323).
But doesn't include ẹ (U+1EB9) or ọ (U+1ECD).

Any thoughts on what's causing this and whether it is worth reporting?

Developers, be aware!

Someone from #BrowserStack is either selling / leaking / or giving away their customers' email addresses to Apollo.

Apollo will hand it out to any old spammer.

I recently read "There Is No Antimemetics Division" on my eReader.

One of the curious things about eInk is that it can show "ghosting". A slight shadow of the previous page might be visible if you stare hard enough.

"Antimemetics" has several passages which are redacted - which allows the ghosting to become a bit more visible. Leading to a rather discombobulating moment of trying to read words which didn't exist in this reality.

Meeting nerds in a pub. Thanks James 😃
