🪡 published my Silksong review and thoughts on gaming difficulty and accessibility! It's an RSS-only thing: dbushell.com/subscribe/

I'm not against a UK digital ID system but technically it needs to navigate around blockchain, "AI", US companies, whatever Tony Blair is scheming today, mass surveillance, and not ostracising the homeless further. We're getting "Login with Facebook", aren't we?

a week until Ghost of Yōtei and then Silksong is in the bin! (post credits content be damned!)

2025 and people think I'm answering a number that isn't in my phone book it's 50/50 if I know who you are tbh

I’ve made a free template for component variants and it’s now up in the Penpot Hub. Import the file to see how simple and complex components can utilise variants (including using design tokens!) penpot.app/penpothub/li... #Penpot #OpenSource

so is it safe to `npm update` yet or are we just not anymore?

last resort trying to summon a client email response #silksong

the big ASDA has spoken, Merry Christmas everybody

did I just roll credits on Silksong? 52 hours! guess I'll jump back in and find what I missed...

If you've ever wondered if there's anything to the critique that some browsers "ship whatever they want" or "don't follow standandards", here's the long-form explanation of why those arguments fail on their own terms: infrequently.org/2025/09/stan...

reports of my weekend were greatly exaggerated I've a meeting at 12 so I'll be shitposting for a few more hours

9:05 and I'm throwing in the towel! 😅 have a nice weekend :)

🙏 help me! am I doing CSS view transitions / animation wrong? or is this a Safari 26 regression bug? 💀 codepen.io/dbushell/ful...

stick this in your Interop 2026 or wherever it belongs just lost 30 minutes over a comma in linear-gradient 🤦‍♂️

Billions dumped into this. Billions wasted. Meanwhile the cost of living crisis makes people's lives a living hell. This stuff makes me so mad.

never change, VS Code tab complete

not even Apple uses compact tabs they're completely broken in Safari 26 (does it works for you? how nice)

If you click the click the ⓘ (circled "i") — apparently a button — you can remain on macOS Sequoia and still get Safari 26

Friends and fans of Obs.js, please consider lending your vote for Interop 2026: github.com/web-platform...

staring at a 25 template Figma picture and paralysed by choice trying to itemise and name design patterns there can only be one "card" 😓

If a UI element is interactive, exposed to AT, needs event listeners, needs role/aria customisation, and needs programmatic focus. It should be in HTML. It's frustrating this is a conversation that even needs to be had.

is this real? wow. "cloud" solved nothing 🙄 (for users) www.reddit.com/r/3Dprinting...

Can't believe what I'm reading. Accidentally DDoS yourself because you fetch in useEffect in 2025 is so avoidable 😂 blog.cloudflare.com/deep-dive-in...

buying a domain is like: $1.12 / year (renews at one million dollars)

what an ugly rebrand... colours are ok but the uppercase font and bottom heavy "S" is ghastly

whenever you read "small subset" in an incident report that's legalese for "not just the men, but the women and the children, too"

"product-market fit" aka we've burned millions in VC funding and nobody knows why

so I'm using the Microsoft 365 suite for the first time... you guys live like this? 🥺 (and thank god for browser profiles, can't wait to nuke this one)

bro... I just wanted to check the email account my client provided 🥺

@proton.me proton VPN has been down for 15 minutes... what's the point of this status page if it doesn't work?

It's that time of year again: time to support @open-web-advocacy.org's call to end secret vetoes of Interop proposals. Web developers deserve to know who is pushing cuts to the web's most effective "TODO" list, if not why. Show your support (politely) here: github.com/web-platform...
