“Light mode” should be “grey mode”

Have you noticed how it seems like how the "light mode" of your graphical user interface of choice is getting lighter over time? It turns out you're not crazy, and at least for macOS, light mode has indeed been getting lighter.

You can clearly see that the brightness of the UI has been steadily increasing for the last 16 years. The upper line is the default

I live in a small town in Sweden. This morning I went out to my car (realising that I'd once again forgotten to lock the front door last night), drove along empty, wide roads to the nearest largeish town and parked in the brand new multistorey carpark by the railway station, where the first two hours' parking is free and the remainder of the time is very cheap.

I got out of the car without checking my surroundings, and as I leaned back in to get my bag out, I thought "In large parts of the world, I'd be asking to get mugged, or worse".

Then I walked along the clean, well-kept streets to the hospital, where I waited for less than 2 minutes for my mammography, which was completely free of charge.

This is Sweden. This is Europe. Why the FUCK are we trying to emulate, listening to, investing in or in any way having anything whatsoever to do with the utter insanity coming out of the USA?

And I don't just mean under the current, obviously barking, incumbent. I mean ever? They don't do things like we do. They don't believe in the same things that we do. This really is an us and a them situation, and we've been kidding ourselves for the last 80 years that they're like us.

No one knows the true purpose of the Shell Grotto at Margate in Kent, and it could have been built any time in the last three thousand years, with a massive dome and arched doorways. Connected to freemasonry, pagans, and others, the site remains a mystery. #LegendaryWednesday

Remember, using a native HTML `<fieldset>` / `<legend>` gets you better results in SRs than its ARIA equivalent:

My post deals with the inverse of the others I shared — unstyling the native HTML so you don’t need the ARIA construct.

Today marks 7 months of unemployment and I am very much down to the wire.

I am a full-stack & backend web developer, fluent in TypeScript, with experience building data-focused applications and both SQLite and Postrges databases.

I’m located in the northeast United States and have experience working and successfully collaborating with small, remote teams.

Boosts are appreciated. 🙏

This is absolutely awesome! The @leavex campaign now has their website up an running, so we can see exactly which members of the EU parliament still support Musk's disinformation platform X, and avoid voting for them.

I hope @leavex expands to add every national parliament — the disinformation has to end.

Se their excellent overview here:

Please boost this to support the campaign.

"Code is a liability (not an asset). Tech bosses don't understand this. They think AI is great because it produces 10,000 times more code than a programmer, but that just means it's producing 10,000 times more liabilities.

#Code is a #liability. Code’s capabilities are #assets. The goal of a tech shop is to have code whose capabilities generate more revenue than the costs associated with keeping that code running.

…that's the thing: any nontrivial code has to interact with the outside world, and the outside world isn't static, it's dynamic. The outside world busts through the assumptions made by software authors all the time and every time it does, the software needs to be fixed." @pluralistic

You know its a tech bubble when the head of Microsoft tells you that unless more people adopt AI, then the 'boom' will falter.... yup, they've spotted that antipathy to AI is gong to take the shine off their investments....

If there are not enough more fools to sell their shares to, then the price will be dropping & the short sellers will be moving in (as they've already started to do)

So it begins.

Europe holds $8 trillion in USA bonds and equities. This is just the beginning.
