I've recently started assembling a PC after last doing so literally decades ago (impeccable timing). The gamer 'aesthetic' that has developed in that time is universally visually repulsive #RGBHell
This is perhaps one of the worst examples, though: https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/ram/fake-ram-bundled-with-real-ram-to-create-a-performance-illusion-for-amd-users-1-1-value-pack-offers-desperate-psychological-relief-as-the-memory-shortage-worsens #pcbuilding
In a sensational turn of events in the fight against Chat Control, a majority in the European Parliament voted today to end the untargeted mass scanning of private communications. In doing so, the Parliament firmly rejected the error-prone and unconstitutional surveillance practices of recent years.
Everything you never wanted to know about visually-hidden. @db digs into the two-decade history of the visually-hidden CSS pattern, examining whether just position: absolute and clip-path: circle(0) suffice in 2026.

'Organisers friend' #Evenbrite has been sold. From the PR:
> Eventbrite will be able to move faster and invest more deeply in the areas that matter most to you: making event creation simpler with the help of AI, improving discovery and search so the right audiences can find you more easily

Been a tough week, geopolitically speaking. But at least someone is having fun. 🇮🇷 Iranian Monarchists in #Sheffield celebrating the commencement of hostilities against the current regime.
You don't see the Israeli flag too often round here. Proximity to war memorial possibly accidental but who knows. I don't follow politics too closely. #Iran #protests
The (slightly crap) #Sheffield BetterPoints app for #ActiveTravel has been broken for 13 days. Protip: Logout & login again.
Shame. I did miles a day on foot, bike and bus. That's like 0.3% of a free cup of coffee from selected retailers I'm missing out on. Back to the car! Out of spite, like.
