It's the song that turned me on to their work. I first heard it in the Tank Girl movie. Actually, I think there were a few bands I first heard of through that movie. (I grew up in a small, desert town before the information super highway paved over everything. It was easy not to know about things.)

Providing Type Definitions for #CSS with [@]property
A cross-browser feature as of the release of Firefox 128 in July 2024 is a new at-rule - [@]property - which allows defining types as well as inheritance and an initial value for your custom properties.
Learn when and why traditional fallback values can fail, and how [@]property features allow us to write safer, more resilient CSS custom property definitions.

giant wood moths are wild, I really wanna meet one. they weigh up to 30 grams, which is super hefty for a moth. to lift that much weight they end up having a wingspan of about 20cm.
they have a fuzzy heart-shaped pattern on their head and their front legs look like pipe cleaners. I bet they're super soft.
they're only found in a few areas of Australia and they're a comparatively rare sight even then.

- an extremely large brown and black moth stood on someone's wrist, spanning their whole hand and up to their sleeve. the legs look like long fluffy trousers with black and white striped feet poking out.

To fix the bungled CrowdStrike update, apparently you need to boot the system into safe mode and remove a file.
If the system was encrypted with Bitlocker, you need to enter the system's Bitlocker recovery key.
Apparently, many people are discovering they didn't have key management in place to store Bitlocker recovery keys, making it akin to a self-inflicted ransomware attack.

I wrote a new article: “Fit-to-Width Text: A New Technique”.
https://kizu.dev/fit-to-width/
Registered custom properties are now available in all modern browsers.
Using some pre-existing techniques based on them and complex container query length units, I solved a years-long problem of fitting text to the width of a container, hopefully paving the path towards a proper native implementation.
Attachments:
- A screen recording showing a square block of text, where each line has text fit to width by resizing it. The video shows how the element is resized by dragging the container by a corner, and text becoming smaller, different lines stopping at different points when reaching a certain font size limit. The text in the example is: What if I will tell you how we could use registered custom properties (alongside container query length units and math) to solve fit-to-width text in all latest browsers? The text is in a century font with serifs, “registered custom properties” and “container style units” are written in italic, “to solve” in bold, and “math” and “in the latest browsers?” are in a “black” version of the font-face (bolder than bold).
