Users cannot avoid a hack like this week’s by strengthening their password or using two-factor authentication. Instead, Twitter must provide robust internal safeguards—starting with end-to-end encryption. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2020/07/after-weeks-hack-it-past-time-twitter-end-end-encrypt-direct-messages
Day #080 of #100DaysToOffload and I muse on a gruesome theme in art.
I am trying to add an image after all external links on my site. That I can do, but I can't seem to style the svg for dark and light mode. In fact, I can't style the svg at all. It is just the default black.
The code I am using is:
a[href^="http://"]:not([href*="example.com"]):after,
a[href^="https://"]:not([href*="example.com"]):after{
display: inline-block;
width: .9em;
height: .9em;
fill: var(--main);
content: url("/images/external-link-alt-solid.svg");
border: none;
background: none;
margin-left: 0.1em;
}
I thought that the 'fill' element should change the color of the svg, but it seems to be having no effect.
A solution would be appreciated.

Friend: VPN ruins everything.
Me: Privacy invasive apps ruin VPN.

wow, look at the rich details of #OpenStreetMap in comparison to #GoogleMaps:
while Gmaps looks like a work with MS paint, OpenStreetMap shows you a full construction plan incl.lifts, ticket vending maching, public telephone, recycling container, rubbish bin and also so many many more shops in the building:
