A fun piece of chess trivia:

"In medieval chess, as an attempt to make the pieces more interesting, each pawn was given the name of a commoner's occupation."

These include: gambler, innkeeper, doctor, and farmer.

My Chrome extension for devs who use #1Password is now availabe in the chrome store!

It blocks the 1Password UI on specific domains that you choose - preventing the annoying popups when you're doing things on dev sites (eg localhost).

Its called 🥁 "Block 1Password on domains"

Block 1Password on domains. - Chrome Web Store

A simple extension that blocks the 1Password UI for specific domains. Hides the UI with CSS (1Password still runs).

Harris leans into populism with proposal for middle-class and lower-income tax cuts

Vice President Kamala Harris on Friday is expected to propose a new plan to cut taxes for middle-class and lower-income Americans, leaning into populism with her economic policy rollout. The plan would offer tax relief for more than 100 million Americans, according to Harris-Walz campaign officials.

@sil inb4 "ITYM Family Feud"

@popey keep a watch out :)

@sil Also, does it need text for what the question is? The "We asked 100 people" bit

@popey that wasn't on the board, though. I thought of that, but it's not authentic :)

@sil Oh, there's 'canon' for memes now, got it.

Also, all people will do is take your thing, and put a white border with black text on it, and post that. Or maybe post the question in their social post, which someone *else* will screenshot :D

@popey that is fair comment! ok, I'll have a think about it

@popey your wish is my command. they now have a title.

(And yes memes have canon! totally!)

@sil Black on blue, is that your final answer?

@popey 1. The title isn’t supposed to catch attention and if I make it bright, it does, I think
2. I believe I have been abundantly clear in the past about my complete lack of design talent ;-)

Suggestions accepted though! (If they aren’t “make it white”)

@sil I'm missing catchphrases like "Our survey says...". Again, I dunno, maybe someone would put that in the text of their toot/tweet thing

@popey you’re right about the black text though. Hm

@popey have made it white, with an audible hmph :)

@sil Ahem.

Zeroes shouldn't be allowed on the board, I think?

@sil (also, emoji in the answers) :D

@popey I actually thought about the emoji thing! And after testing it I decided I did not want to fix it :) if you’ve got a font which has emoji glyphs all made out of dots, I’ll use it

@sil Also, also, also. Make it say Family Fortunes if en_GB and Family Feud if en_US. :D

@popey did you see the header? :)

@sil I saw it change, then change back, yes :)

@popey bah, hoped you hadn't seen that yet :) I don't think I can tell where someone is, sadly, not to tell whether it's UK or US! Language setting, maybe, but that's not the same. I'll have a look at the APIs; maybe it is doable!

@sil @popey closest I can think of is GeoIP lookup of the client making the request

@alex @popey yeah. Which is way too much effort for a joke like that :)

Bruno Girin Aug 17, 2024

@sil @popey yellow would have worked well too, just sayin

Matthew Aug 17, 2024

@sil can it have a button to do the noise

@dracos click on an X :)

Matthew Aug 17, 2024

@sil \o/ Perfik. Bug report - you can click on the space below an X and it still makes the sound (and only works on left, not right ;) )

@dracos ah. This is because I’m using the wrong coordinates. Now that you say this, I know what I did. A fix will have to wait until I’m in front of the machine though :)
