The current state of installing PWAs in all browsers across all platforms should be documented on MDN.

Not only would be be useful to have such an overview of different UI patterns, but we could refer regular users to this page if they don’t know how to install PWAs.

edit: The Session has something like this: https://thesession.org/app

The compliance will be much more painful than the fines.

After being spoiled by the tool changers on a Prusa XL, returning to a Bambu Lab with an AMS or a Prusa with MMU feels like going back to dial-up internet.

Welp, I'm becoming a #3dprinting snob.

Fashion Dreamer was kinda like this too! You can get away with very minimal narrative design in games and Fashion Dreamer didn't even do that.

The previous Style Savvy games had a kind of minimal Stardew Valley-style plot about inheriting your own boutique. Fashion Dreamer gives you a pseudo-online space with random characters standing around. If you talk to them you can add copies of their clothes to your inventory and suggest a new outfit for them. That's it.

Knuckle Sandwich came out a couple days ago! It's pretty visually stylish but the writing isn't living up to it. It's kinda like they came up with a bunch of cool minigames/setpieces but couldn't figure out a great way to fit them all together

Watching The Nightmare Before Christmas for the first time, and I gotta tell ya, after 30 years of build-up...I have to think this landed differently in 1993 because I'm just really not seeing it.

• 30-second video of my tool showing a code editor sharing the screen with the programs inside it. I demonstrate a few different programs with 2-3 dozen lines of code each: * A colorful pattern in a circle that moves where you tap, demonstrating interactivity * Pacman animating across the screen eating pellets. I bounce between these programs to demonstrate that they start and pause as I do so. (remote)

I finally wrapped up Higurashi 8 last night. It was cute! Way, way, way, lighter in tone than the entire rest of the series. That's to be expected, I guess, since the premise for this episode was that they were constructing their ideal timeline after learning everything they could from the previous ones.

If you want to see the merch in action, or share your own pictures wearing or using it, check out the #Merchtodon hashtag! All of the revenue (excl. shipping and tax) supports #Mastodon development.

The shipping cost is flat no matter how many items you buy, and if the total is over £70 you get free shipping. If you are ordering from the EU, you don't need to worry about customs, as the store is opted in to IOSS.

Reverse GitHub Copilot, it doesn't write any code for you, instead it asks you to explain your code with non-specific questions and through the rubber duck effect this causes you to notice bugs and/or realize yourself how to proceed with coding. On the inside it is literally just Eliza (1964)
