After hating printers for decade I just got a tiny thermal printer (no ink needed). They’re the future! Garlic bread

“When you use a JavaScript framework, that isn’t the end of your work, it’s just the beginning. You still have to write your own code that makes use of that framework. Except now your code is restricted to only what the framework can do.” I’d even drop “JavaScript” from that sentence 😉

Validates my experience, they’re good for grunt work, best guided by someone who really knows what they’re doing

Bye bye Labour. Abolition of free speech is not something I’ll be voting for www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Leaning towards voting Green for the first time in my life—looks like they have the only inspiring leader in the UK politics

Beautiful

I have to say, for all my skepticism the iPhone Air has been my favourite iPhone so far, after a week of use. It has much better battery life than I expected and it feels SO good, even though the screen is massive—I’m coming from a 13 Mini. I can barely feel it in my pocket

Dead in the water www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Glad I went with the Apple Watch in Space Grey, it's lovely—really nice balance between black and silver (I've had both had previously)

I’m afraid I’m inclined to agree—to the point where I’m starting to wonder if I even want to buy a new iPhone at this point

Hard to argue with the logic! 😁

#CSS has evolved SO much in the past couple of years, and SO fast... I wonder: how many of the new features do you use in your day-to-day work? How many would you say you use out of 10?

So much this. The internet is an endless stream of judgement and toxicity

It certainly will be with Statamic v6 👌

Reliability and attitude are underrated

@dasharez0ne.bsky.social hey love your T-shirts and stuff! Sorry to be that guy, but this should be “if you’re not going to eat your pickles” dashare.zone/en-gbp/produ...

Any cool people I should be following on BlueSky? It sure feels a bit dead compared to Xitter

Letsssss a gooo

I have this weird theory that it's still probably a good idea to know what you're doing.

New favourite article daverupert.com/2024/12/css-...

Cleanshot X is excellent, I should have bought it years ago

What an awesome thread

Elon saying he’s going to reprogram his chatbot’s view of history is a perfect example of why these kinds of AI products aren’t the neutral “tools” people always defend them as. They’re little political projects reflecting the ideologies of their creators

Lose vs loose is really kicking peoples ass

Got some availability coming up from mid-June for illustration, comics and commissions. Hit me up if you have a project in mind and shares - as always - appreciated 🙏

> Figma is for painting beautiful pictures of websites. Not for making websites. I think Figma is generally great for dragging rectangles around. I understand the desire to conquer all markets but I wish they would stay in their lane tbh

I really do like a bit of the old skool too!

It's a fundamentally conservative idea that art is good when it's detailed, realistic, and predictable. This impulse also promotes neoclassical architecture, three-point-thesis writing, and pristine audio production. It's a boring blight on creativity and expression.

The new Arcade Fire tracks sound like demo recordings 🤔. Simmering brilliance but the production is non existent/very much NOT Arcade Fire

I’m here for all of them

I sure hope this is the case!

Wowee

Completely agree with this point: “Clever engineers write clever code. Exceptional engineers write simple code.” Back in when people wanted “ninjas”, I said I wanted to be/wanted to work with gardeners. Ninjas come in and leave a bloody mess in the morning. Gardeners patiently cultivate.

We shipped a brand new design for our docs last week, thanks to the great @_JayGeorge! We love keeping things fresh and a little out of the ordinary 😘 statamic.dev

Heh. Possibly guilty

V6 is gonna be sooooo good. #statamic https://mastodon.social/@jackmcdade/114280438232057923

The last three tracks of the new Deafheaven album (kicking off with spoken words by Paul Banks)… oh my! Tingles

The new Coheed and Cambria album has some strong tracks. They’ve definitely been on a winning streak recently 🤘 🎸

Just found an old joke... “I’ve really had it with my dog,” said the first guy to his neighbor. “He’ll chase anyone on a bicycle” “Hmmm, that is a problem,” said the neighbor. “What are you thinking of doing about it?” “Guess the only answer is to confiscate his bike!”

CSS 😮

I’m amazed how many people have strong opinions on feelings they don’t understand. Gender identity being one of them.

The new Bridget Jones movie took me completely by surprise. It was wonderful. Deftly navigating loss while avoiding saccharine, it was peak Richard Curtis—and it was different from the other Bridget Jones movies in a way that it needed to be.

Let’s turn on the news and listen to the latest batshit crazy idiotic statement Trump has put out today. Even my dad—a staunch conservative—is aghast. Putin must be chuffed

Lovely indeed

You can now see which value is the active value in min(), max() and clamp() - in Canary DevTools today - coming to Chrome stable soon!

I feel this so hard. Everything I do these days involves getting closer to the metal and tossing out frontend frameworks. With web platform initiatives like interop this now more rewarding than ever.

Does anyone know if it's possible to adjust font-size *based on the number of characters*, just using CSS? My use case is: I have a large display heading. It looks great if it's just one word, but if gets to 5 words/2 lines then I'd like to adjust/decrease the font-size.

For a long time my goal with Statamic was to make it the best Flat File CMS. ✅ We did that. Then I wanted to make it the best @laravelphp CMS. ✅ I think we've done that too. My new goal is to make Statamic the best CMS, period. 😈 Come along for the ride.
