So ... Parents can't get their kids gender affirming care but they can prevent schools from teaching that trans kids are human beings. That's how parental rights work?

@katemorley I've been poking around with the firefox inspector on your grid live page, and noticed that the colours aren't always the ones from https://iamkate.com/data/12-bit-rainbow/. Did you revise the 12-bit palette, or tune it for dark mode, or decide to change it at all? I'd love a […]

Great! A bunch of people here wanted it. Now it exists. 👍 It's a "dark archive" of the arXiv - a non-public backup to save the data in case of attack by hackers or government. The arXiv, I hope you know, is the biggest source of modern math and physics papers. Who got the job done? The TIB […]

We're in this month's @publicsectorfocus.bsky.social writing about how the City of London (aka Square Mile) has outstripped 3 of its 4 2030 transport over five years early. Anyone else busting their transport targets? No? Well, you need to read how City did it then! flickread.com/edition/html...

I keep seeing memes about people furious with #WEBP, but it's clear that it's a pretty good format that just needs better adoption. I recently hit an old #BOFH excuse generator, and one of the listed excuses (from the early 90s) was "50% of the manual is in .pdf readme files". There was a time […]

“Sometimes I think we do ourselves a disservice by calling such options ‘bold,’ when frankly they’re often just really pragmatic & ‘common sense’ given the real challenges that our cities face.
