After many failed attempts to clean up my inbox since I lost track of it during lockdown, I just archived 9500 unread emails. Feels good

It amazes me that no one has entered the market with a modular hub/dock. Want to replace multiple hubs and cables with a single solution and can’t find anything with the right combination of ports/features. Would be so handy to just buy a carcass of some kind and then plug in the modules I need.

I've not yet had the opportunity to play with CSS Motion Path, but playing with it (in a small way) for a new blog post and I love that this took literal seconds to do. #css

Also liking how easy it is to just set the position on the path when reduced motion is enabled, so I can still convey the same message. #a11y

TIL Bathroom renovations aren't my bag. Can really see myself in a few weeks time, sat in my lounge getting rained on, with just no fucks left to give.

📝 New post! `aria-label` and `aria-labelledby` aren't allowed on divs, spans, and other static text elements out of the box, and *most* screenreaders won't announce them. #accessibility #a11y

CSS position: sticky, scroll-snap + progressively enhanced scroll animation 📜 li { animation: bright; animation-range: calc(50% - 1lh) calc(50% + 1lh); animation-timeline: view(); scroll-snap-align: center; } @​keyframes bright { 50% { opacity: 1; }} line-height units are a gift 🎁

Some fun drama this afternoon. Someone managed to get access to my Digital Ocean account, change my password, and create 20 droplets on my behalf. Thankfully, I managed to get back in and remove everything, and all API keys, but I’m slightly terrified of the internet right now.

Woke up this morning to find my Mac has updated itself overnight from Ventura to Sequoia, despite having automatic updates turned off. Pretty miffed as that means I’m now locked out of quite a bit of pricey music making software that doesn’t support Sequoia yet (hence my reason for not updating).

Ah, the annual fee for that domain you bought with grand plans but haven't touched since? That's not a charge, my tech bros, that's a procrastination tax. Gotta pay for the premium parking spot your brilliant idea is hogging in the internet garage. 😉

Also using this post as an opportunity to test including Bluesky interactions as a comment feed (like I used to do with Twitter before Elmo)
