Ran into someone with a Covenant - Nexus Polaris shirt at a show yesterday. I thought I was the only one who had a soft spot for this 1998 album. We chatted and they play synth, of course :)
@anji you are not alone ;)
🆕 blog! “Death to px, long live ch!”
Pixels are a lie. Even if you think you're drawing something with "pixel perfect" accuracy, your monitor is lying to you. There is no grid of platonically perfect squares.
In CSS, pixels are a double lie:
Note that 1px doesn't necessarily equal one physical device pixel. On HD displays, it may span multiple physical pixels. Similarly, 1cm in CSS often …

…“Let’s change the news together. Because it’s time for a British media organization… that isn’t afraid” say Zeteo UK.
But on its mission to publish the fight against oligarchy on a platform funded by VC money that also backs OpenAI, SpaceX, TomorrowHealth (pushing AI into social care), Suno (AI for music creators), Weights & Biases (an AI developer platform), to name but a few…

Anyone going to this?
21st - 23rd August near #Bakewell in #Derbyshire
There was an update on their facebook page a day ago, so it seems like it's definitely on.
I've just got a ticket - there's not many left apparently.
It has been a great little festival. Nice people, tidy, good choice of food, decent bar, reusable cups on offer, great music ❤️
Hopefully I will be back next year 🤘

@brianb I hope it’s Snyder brand pretzels. I love their big pretzels so much I made visiting the factory in Hanover a destination stop.
@cogdog oo, those are my favorite. Last night's were Aldi brand, but they were surprisingly good.

@tfardet That's unfortunately not for me to decide 🤷 You could approach the authors?!

Security researchers have identified the first malware strain that infected the Android-based head unit of a modern smart car.
The malware was part of BADBOX and added the car to a botnet that engaged in ad fraud and proxy traffic.

Sometimes there *is* a simple answer:
Born in Bradford discovered that a third of pupils diagnosed with poor eyesight in Bradford didn't get to the opticians; the resulting new policy of providing glasses to those pupils through their schools has halved (in less than a decade) the literacy gap in Bradford schools, suggesting sometimes its just not being to see the page that is the problem.
This looks like it would be an easy national literacy win!

Un web fait par et pour des humains : un forum généraliste, francophone, simple, pour partager ses avis, ses projets, ses coups de cœurs, etc.
Du coup on tente d'en créer un : voici « Le jardin ». Passez le portillon et venez dire bonjour, la peinture est encore fraîche mais on va décorer ensemble ^^
