Dare I suggest you buy them for your whole family and a Taskmaster trophy of your own head and make them scream how merry they are all Christmas to win your approval and golden face? DARE I??

I've just added these Christmas Taskmaster tasks to my Etsy shop if you'd like to make someone's Christmas significantly more high-pressure

Great to have a self hosted option but this bit sucks - you're giving people two months' notice that nuxt.studio is being discontinued? That wasn't part of the original announcement and is going to cause huge problems for people who use Studio with static sites

I'm using (and really liking) lucide.dev icons for a new project and am desperately trying to engineer a scenario which would call for a 'Bean Off' icon

For the design nerds, here's Network Rail's official design manual for Rail Clock

It incorporates a sonic pigeon deterrent.

I've added a a couple of options to the Rail Clock you can switch on via the URL:

- railclock.matteason.co.uk#analogue to treat the arrows as hour and minute hands rather than rotating once a minute

- railclock.matteason.co.uk#seconds to show seconds

I just added a vacuum cleaner sound to ambiph.one and I'm taking bets on how long before I have to change this icon for being too baffling to anyone outside the British isles

It's like the middle Animorph between this and actual Goatse

Maybe pick a different icon

Could politicians stop putting major policy announcements behind a paywall please?

Considering buying these earbuds purely because we need a return to whimsical transparent electronics

Any politics aside this whole thing is hilariously slapdash. Case in point: this cursed text justification on the privacy policy

Something weird going on with Google Meet this morning. I can get to the waiting room screen but can't join anything. www.google.com/appsstatus/d... says everything's fine but downdetector.co.uk/status/googl... is going 📈

I'm pretty sure og:image / twitter:image URLs need to be absolute, so these need nooshu.com on the front

Omitting and opening and closing tags is valid in some situations! There are some funky rules about comment and whitespace positioning but if it's being minified those shouldn't matter
