Still wondering why "The rapist formerly known as Prince" is not trending.

It's still an LLM. Get it to ask what it is, and it knows. 😂

I debunked it in computer science terms earlier. But ChatGPT can also debunk itself.

Who cares about dead bad people, like Hulk Hogan or Epstein, when kids are starving to death in Gaza?

Hunger should never be a weapon. We must never do business with a state that thinks it is.

Feed, feed Palestine.

I've gone static! With dark mode, light mode, and even eco mode!

And a super-efficient yet helpful and pretty 404 page at only 1.52 KB with Brotli.

I decided I could/should start sharing new icons as I add them to the Susty Icons set.

For absolutely no reason at all, I got up this morning and felt a desire to make a peace symbol. Then, obviously, I was thinking about flags.

Hypermobile nerds: I have a tip. Get a trackball mouse with a central ball.

I got it so can use my left as well and give my right hand and shoulder a break. I am sold. I absolutely love the scroll wheel. Kensington Orbit with scroll ring.

"You can be Israeli and oppose this".

I am not #Israeli. The friend involved in organising this is.

You can oppose Netanyahu and the #Gaza genocide while loving #Israel. As in, loving Israel so much you will defend its democracy and prevent it from committing an atrocity.

Jeez I forgot to share a pic of the icons with weird custom styling. HERE!

There ya go.

I abandoned #WordPress, and #CSS set me free.

I responded responsively with responsiveness!

...I love static HTML and CSS that just WORKS.

OH and this tool makes #sustyicons #SVG icons even better - sprites!

Signing up today btw. Thought you might want some feedback on the website sign up stuff.

I'm on Firefox with some minimal tracker blocking installed.

The feedback part is just spinning, sadly. I'll share what I was gonna say below.

Sneak peek:
Based on the (not subsetted) file sizes of sans serif variable fonts provided by Matthias Altmann's Webfont Loader tool, I was able to work out which fonts have the smallest file size. These only have variable weight.

The top 4 are quite blocky, but Sen by Kosal Sen is excellent! #font

Ooookay. I had a really quick play. Oxygen 6 is incredibly interesting for #sustainabledev and #greendev practices.

They've done away with jQuery. A blank page with one line is 11 kb.

A page testing the new elements - a form, TOC generator, star rating system, countdown timer came to this.

Oxygen 6, the latest version of Oxygen Builder, the WP builder for devs, has just been released.
I like Oxygen Classic because of how easy it is to remove junk.
But look at all the junk you can now remove in one click.

Like every sane person, and indeed most of Europe, I stand with and support President Zelenskyy the brave.

If anyone earned a golden statue of himself in a formerly wartorn area at some point, it is him.

SLAVA UKRAINI!
VIVA EUROPA!
UNITAS IN DIVERSITATE!

Strong evidence of tactical voting in Germany tonight.

Two examples here in Berlin:

1: Marzahn-Hellersdorf. #Grüne and #SPD supporters clearly voted tacitcally for the moderate #CDU guy.

2: Treptow-Köpenick. Here, they voted #Linke for celeb-politician Gysi.

What do you mean I'm a perfectionist obsessed with squeezing every last excess byte out of SVGs?

I display the current KB count as of last check on every page on codewordcreative.com.

The result is this

Hallo #Lichtenberger! Leute in #Berlin - #Lichtenberg!

Nur #LINKE haben eine Chance gegen #AfD oder gar #BSW.

Wenn ihr links, grün, zentristisch oder gar demokratisch denkt: Dann wählt bitte in Lichtenberg unbedingt LINKE mit der 1. Stimme.
Die 2. Stimme ist mir erstmal egal.

Today I learned that a full 100 score really is possible in Ecograder.

I was happy with my previous score, which looked like a rounding error!

Today I learned there are European hamsters out in the wild in some parts of Europe, with a significant population in Vienna's Central cemetery.

I visited Vienna a few years back and it's now my biggest regret about our visit. We should have gone to see the hamsters.

I mean look at this guy?!

We're in a bad way when Senator Lindsay Graham is the strongest voice of reason. Perhaps Palestine's best hope against US-led ethnic cleansing.

My writing services site was already an A+ grade, but with venturing into offering sustainable web dev for others, it had to be even better.

I wanted to get is down to around this - 0.03 g carbon per page view and the top 3%.

And I did it. Beacon tracks progress! digitalbeacon.co/report/engli...
