You must be kidding me... Windows Notepad now has Copilot AI integration.

VS Code 1.97 now previews SVG images. I suspect I'll find that much more useful than all the AI stuff. code.visualstudio.com/updates/v1_97

Do we need the back button: webdesignerdepot.com/the-browser-... My simple answer: yes. Absolutely. It's the one browser control that users understand. If your Single Page App breaks it, that's on you to fix it.

I've been working on a new HTML-first static site generator for a while. Alpha: www.npmjs.com/package/publ... 11ty is a big influence! Publican has: - template literal ${ expressions } - no syntax to learn - post index pagination - virtual content and templates - watch mode Feedback welcome.

Just updated a site codebase that I last looked at a few months ago. So many errors! So many warnings! What's going on with Sass? Lots of deprecated stuff - even the lighten() function. I'd have thought they'd keep it mostly as-is given it's used on lots of older projects.

Email from HMRC: "you have a new message." Log in to view message: "You have a new tax statement ... but it's not available yet and will be ready within 4 working days." That's an annoying waste of time. Why not send a message when a statement's available?!

First impressions of Bluesky are great. Web experience is fast, but it's a shame it's not a PWA (Progressive Web App). Few people need the native app - a basic "install" prompt would be a good start. Background caching and sync could come later if necessary. X/Twitter PWA is one of the best.

Browser-based (DOSBOX) Windows 3.11 emulator. pieter.com It feels antiquated now. Opening and closing apps seems more cumbersome than I remember. The emulator has some DOS games (Doom runs well) but, in reality, setting them up was agony.

Yay, I'm on Bluesky after @henryflint.bsky.social suggested it. Looks nice. Seems friendly. Of course, this means I'll have to post to both X and Bluesky for the foreseeable future. Or does everyone abandon X once they're here?
