@paul Been using DuckDuckGo for years now, Google feels odd to use due to the distractions around the search results.
@NationCymru If there were a real issue of voter fraud, the solution would have been to introduce a free national ID system, providing everyone with a driving license like card.
Wales doesn’t need another English King.
The government end-to-end encryption law proposals are an invasion of privacy and they do more harm than their proposal benefits.

Only use 3rd party libraries if you couldn't write a solution in a reasonable amount of time.

And try and be biased towards the written solution.

I can't stand over-engineered projects. Almost impossible to work with.

Makes my brain switch off and want to throw it in the bin.

Is anyone else a bit overwhelmed with all the new AI tech? There’s a lot of pressure to learn this “Now or fall behind”.
@jasongorman Everytime I’ve been, things are hand written in a war-triage way 😬
When digital is society's default, slow is exclusionary. https://infrequently.org/2022/12/performance-baseline-2023/ " sites continue to send more script than is reasonable for 80+% of the world's users, widening the gap between the haves and the have-nots. This is an ethical crisis for the frontend." - @slightlyoff
The Performance Inequality Gap, 2023

To serve users at the global P75 of devices and networks, we can now afford ~150KiB of HTML/CSS/fonts and ~300-350KiB of JavaScript (gzipped). This is a slight upgrade on last year's budgets, thanks to device and network improvements. Meanwhile, web developers continue to send more script than is reasonable for 80+% of the world's users, widening the gap between the haves and the have-nots. This is an ethical crisis for frontend. Meanwhile, the most popular tools and frameworks remain in stubborn denial, but reality is not moved by ignoring it: when digital is the default, slow is exclusionary.
