So my 10 year old suddenly got REALLY into programming and made a whole quest game in Scratch in two days.

Now I need to choose a laptop for her which will allow her to do things and see her through the middle school at least. And yes, the final choice will be hers eventually, but I need to bring it down from myriad of marketing fluff to a few models that make sense. I hate choosing laptops :-(

Yo @paul_irish; any chance that we can get Lighthouse to avoid warning on images w/o explicit width/height if they have `aspect-ratio` and either a CSS width or height value?

And maybe same for "excessive DOM size" if `content-visibility` is applied to most of the offscreen elements?

I understand the desire to reach for the tools we have available, but I don't think applying copyright licenses to toots is going to do much to help with the disagreements around search because now we're going to get dragged into arguments about "fair use" and what is "copyrightable" etc.

In so much as something is copyrightable, most regions default to "all rights reserved". So, if you insist on a copyright view, there you go. Hands off. :/

me over the past few days: kinda tired about hearing about 3rd-party twitter apps breaking; how did you not see this coming a mile away, move on already

me today: OH WAIT this means nitter is broken. shit!

edit: apparently I had just picked a broken nitter instance; other ones seem to be working fine since it sounds like nitter scrapes its data instead of using the API

I've just finished my first unemployed birthday since I started my career.

It's new enough that I'm not quite to the totally losing my shit step in the grief process, and so far, I'm not hating it.

Listening to Polyphia in 2023 must have been what it felt like to discover a Junior Brown album in the early 90s.
