dnpls — Sat, 14 Mar 2026 13:08:54 +0000

This is amazing. I like the Logitech mouse + kbd that I have but the Logi apps are crap. At some point (not too long ago) I had to run TWO Logi apps because the newer one didn't have support for my keyboard. Mind you, it's some MX artsy-fartsy with the volume knob, so it's not old hardware. Also the app was awful, the volume knob didn't work right away, then the volume would go up and down some 5 minutes later on its own. I'll gladly get rid of the Logi apps ASAP.

Have you tried Rive? It seems to have a lot of potential for game development.

I came here thinking the same. To me, it looks like Rive is the closest tool with the highest potential to be a Flash replacement.

I have tried just now and it didn't work at all. I can select brushes and colors, but nothing gets applied on that white canvas! Using chrome on Macos.

Isn't a basic soufflé gonna fall somewhere in the dark breakfast territory?

There's something wrong on Chrome + MacOS Tahoe, the bottom text in the intro is getting cut off.

OP is talking about the third example image, where there are these "stars" icons in the title row of the table. It does look like what people are using to mean AI-something, but indeed.. AI what?

Funny that I selected some subjects such as art, technology and human sexuality, and after a bit of scrolling, I get an article on Technosexuality. TIL.

That's brilliant. I have an injury for a while now, and I change my routine on the fly at the gym, depending on whether I still feel pain or not. Much better if I change it before the next time I go, so I don't waste time figuring out what to replace.

AFAIK Shai-Hulud is the sandworm in Frank Herbert's Dune (but also an American metalcore band)

New comment by dnpls in "Incomplete list of mistakes in the design of CSS"

dnpls — Thu, 11 Dec 2025 15:10:53 +0000

There is no need for more priority levels, because precedence is already defined by inline > #ID > .class / [attribute=""] / :pseudo-classes / elements / ::pseudo-element / universal selector (*). And the order they're written, if both have the same priority. The !important just exists to override that order.

Pigs are omnivores, so they can be fed vegetables or even food leftovers. Grandpa raised a couple of small pigs, they ate corn mixed with vegetable scraps from the kitchen. The pigs got slaughtered and the meat was delicious.

Maybe because fish predators are still fish? So they still taste like fish. It seems fish-eating birds taste fishy, which is not really a desirable flavor in a bird. Maybe mammal predators are also not as tasty - then also what do you feed a farmed bear or a fox, they need to eat meat... So you'd feed them cows that we could eat ourselves? Or we raise rabbits just for them?

OP is selling their own web analytics product, so take the article with a grain of salt.

I could _swear_ that I saw this damn seahorse emoji myself... I guess I was also wrong!
