I am a bit late to the party. But I finally stumbled upon Minute Cryptic: https://www.minutecryptic.com/
Not my usual cup of tea. I guess it will take a few days to wrap my head around it. But today’s puzzle I got pretty fast. #puzzles

Have you seen this news?

#Mastodon just got funding to add end to end encryption into their software.

So, some time next year, you’ll be able to send truly private messages to the vast majority of the #Fediverse

Im so excited about this.

Because it’s an open spec, this opens the doors for every Fediverse app to join the party.

Yesterday, this project was a proof of concept. Today, Mastodon has turned it into a stampede.

Of all the YouTube channels I stumbled upon in the last 12 months, this one is my new favorite: Learn in Tune. (Even though the tune is always the same.)

Today I was reminded: There is a Media Query for display-mode. To check if your site is shown in a tab, fullscreen, etc. I must have read about it years ago, never needed it and forgot about it. But now I want to use it for an Easter egg to one of my websites.

display-mode - CSS | MDN

The display-mode CSS media feature can be used to test whether a web app is being displayed in a normal browser tab or in some alternative way, such as a standalone app or fullscreen mode.

The artwork for the new @playthebazaar.bsky.social hero Karnok looks phenomenal. I mean, the Bazaar had fantastic art right from the start. But hunter items are just more interesting than the last additions of engines and food. #HypedForRageMode

Ich präsentiere: den vielleicht hässlichsten Berliner der Welt! Ich nehme an, der soll aussehen wie ein Stück Kohle. Aber warum sollte man sich ein Stück Kohle in den Mund schieben?
(Dies ist das erste Mal in meinem Leben, dass ich etwas gekauft habe, weil ich es auf Anhieb so außergewöhnlich hässlich fand.)
