Friends, I have £1,000 that I want to donate to a UK trans support charity. I've donated in the past, but I was hoping someone (with experience) could recommend a charity that they think would benefit from the donation (and helped you in some way). It's a single donation to make a greater impact.

Anyone got any practical hacks for "I need to do that thing, oh, but I should just finish this super tiny task <60 literal seconds later> … huh, what was that first thing?". I don't know if it's age, parenting, MS, Remy-special or whatever, it doesn't really matter, just a constant fricking problem

It's really sad that Chrome laid off one of the world's best CSS developer-designers, and now they have to fake demos of web features. youtu.be/d8J0vs-bEPE?...

@gearsco.de assume you saw this, but if not: blog.tymscar.com/posts/gleama...

Cheeky Friday #FFConf talk watch? Perhaps @gearsco.de on his personal journey "6 to 16: A child's programming journey" - www.youtube.com/watch?v=anF9...

Tickets are now back on sale for #SotB26 2026.stateofthebrowser.com/tickets/

Dog dog got a hair cut.

Borrowed with love from Mastodon:

What's your favourite christmas nibble food? Double bonus points if it's not beige (because it seems that if it's not a slab of salmon, it's gotta be beige…).

Eagerly awaiting this weeks episode of react vuln where they call Eval, and dear reader, you won't believe what happened next.

We’re looking for a temporary home for #SotB2029 let us know if you have any thoughts. @barbicancentre.bsky.social is having work for a year. www.barbican.org.uk/our-story/ho...

Anyone know how to get the @netlify.com metrics for a single project and how many edge functions are called? I've got a suspicion that I've got a single project that's causing a massive spike.

Can't play tonight but *really* looking forward to cracking this open.

I don't understand LinkedIn using `<time>` element in their posts, but just slapping in "3w" is … sort of not the point of using the time element in the first place…

Picture in Picture works in Safari, but not in PWAs in iOS. It's almost as if Apple want to hobble PWAs just enough to make them unviable, but functional enough to hoodwink regulators that there is a distribution channel outside the App Store and the Apple Tax. bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi...

Treat yourself to a fun talk from Sergès Goma at #FFConf. It's the perfect length and happily takes the piss out of our need to join cults in the tech world! Really enjoyed this in person, she had the audience eating from the palm of her hand. 📺 Watch it now

We've made a starter pack containing the speakers we've announced so far. Give them a follow to find out what they're up to: bsky.app/starter-pack...

It’s ‘Guess the speaker’ time! Our clue for you is…They are active in the fields of science communication and scientific skepticism, advocating for evidence-based thinking and reason. On Friday, we will officially announce them, so you have until then to try and figure out who this is.🤫 #SotB26

I've written a tamper monkey script that I've got running in the browser that supports writing markdown style links and converts them into fancy links in bluesky. Sadly no support in Mastodon.

Lol, that went badly! Wonder if this is betteR: I'm wondering how Bluesky is rendering links to sites as "rich"-ish text 🤔

I asked @remysharp.com to take one fuckin picture of me and @brucel.bsky.social

Movie you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars (Wars nor Trek), LOTR, or Marvel. (really want to watch this again now - can you name it?)

can't stop watching this clip of a tesla Optimus teleoperator taking his headset off before properly logging out the robot

People who use different brands of weights on different sides of their bars: 🫣🤯 I'm starting to realise I do actually have some form of OCD!

Biggest commitment to a 3 second joke I've ever seen

These people are out of control

Came across this on Mastodon and it's so cool. Didn't realise GB's main renewables were wind (which I should have probably guessed!) grid.iamkate.com By @[email protected] (not sure how that mention is going to pan out in my cross posting from bsky!)

I love me Christmas music (judge me all you want, I also love musicals - confusing aren't I!?) - but I really can't stand Michael Bubble 🫧. It's definitely a personal bee in my bonnet. Something about trying to capitalise on Frank Sinatra songs or something, but he's SO hard to avoid in playlists.

I've got my Christmas batch of retro to repair, refresh, mod and sell on. Maybe it's a gift for a loved one, maybe it's a gift to tell yourself that you're loved. I really need to get these homes/Christmas trees 👉 retrobyrem.uk

TIL Apple mail (desktop and iOS) if you set `height: fit-content` on an image, it'll just stretch real tall. No clue why, but that's why our emails have been weird in Apple user's inboxes. The fix: remove it entirely.

does anyone else notice the giant lady doesnt cut up your hot dogs anymore!?

One day, AI might be better than you at surfing the web. That day isn’t today. www.theverge.com/tech/837287/... The Verge takes 5 different "AI" browsers through some basic tasks" identify important emails, summarising and compiling info, transcribing a video, buying some shoes.

@ffconf.org lol, actually messed up the @ mention - still, releasing right?

Wrote a thing about coding and learning. remysharp.com/2025/12/03/a...

Advent of Code 2025 is 🔛! Are you doing it in Gleam? Let us know ⭐ You can also hop on our discord and join the discussion (don't worry, we keep spoilers in a separate thread) 🎄

We know that before we announce our next speaker, you like to get to know them a bit. Our clue for you today is…They have published an academic paper on video games and player experience! On Friday, we will officially announce them, so you have until then to try to figure out who this is.🤫 #SotB26

I am genuinely confused why Girlguidings and WI can't ammend their "rules" to acept trans women and girls. > we will *HAVE* to restrict our membership on the basis of biological sex. Or, you know, change? It's horseshit. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025... www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Not gonna lie lads, it’s fucking bleak over here. Trans people can’t fight this on their own, cis women need to start leaving and boycotting these organisations that exclude trans women. I go where my trans partner goes, if she can’t go I don’t go. We all have to do this.

One of my favourite (and lesser known?) Christmas songs: White Winter Hymnal - thanks to the @choirwithnoname.bsky.social goodness knows how many years ago sang it in Brighton (where I heard it for the first time) and I fell in love with the song.

@mikehall314.bsky.social TIL the term "sensory symmetry", from your podcast. Oh my god, I just assumed I was just nuts! For a year when I was a late teen, I developed a twitch on the left of my nose, which meant I had to mirror on the right, and that would trigger the twitch, and thus recursion!

We have Custom Elements, but do we also need Custom Attributes? This was discussed at TPAC. Is it something you'd like on the platform? https://github.com/WICG/webcomponents/issues/1029

This is such a good talk, if a little depressing at points. Definitely recommend!

The first set of our #FFConf talks are live for your viewing. Ever thought about about how your data is used? How deep is the rabbit hole? Are there alternatives? @chetbox.com addresses these points: www.youtube.com/watch?v=j1h5... Then evangelise at your workplace.

I wrote this back in March, but I put so much effort into the 1,700+ word blog post that I couldn't just let it languish. I've published it, more as a retrospective: remysharp.com/2025/11/29/h...

Great deals from @piccalil.li at the moment. Just bought Mindful Design, can't wait to watch it. piccalil.li/black-friday/

Web folks! Does anyone know anything about ivi.cx ? It claims to be an official Apple site for making signed WebClips. But that domain smells dodgy.

Jezuz ache, ginger wine. Yikes. I should like it, but maybe being open 12 months might have hosed it...

Forced to realise that since my jeans need a wash, I actually only own one pair of trousers (now in the wash), and now I'm getting weird looks from the barista like I'm the weird one.

Looking for Black Friday deals? @piccalil.li has a nice roundup of dev-related ones that are currently running. piccalil.li/links/black-...
