I enjoyed my flying visit to Glasgow this week. It was looking splendid in the autumn sunshine, though I didn't take nearly enough photos this time

Pay VERY close attention to the sender's address when you get what appears to be a legitimate password management request. In this instance the sender is not "Microsoft", but R N icrosoft, the R & N close together look like a lowercase 'm' at first glance.

Did you know your MacBook has a sensor that knows the exact angle of the screen hinge?
It’s not exposed as a public API, but I figured out a way to read it and make it sound like an old wooden door.

Labour hasn’t confronted Reform’s worldview—it’s validated it.
You can’t spend nine months echoing your opponent’s values and then act surprised when the public decides to go straight to the source.

Lossless Cut is a piece of software I would recommend everyone download because it’s just a frontend for FFMpeg that lets you trim clips without having to encode them again. Just snips off the offending parts.
oh my god, this is hands down the best piece of open source software i've came across in YEARS. I just clipped a commercial compilation in literally seconds on black for a visual set i'm doing. this is saving me hours. i can quickly export clips with or without audio. github.com/mifi/lossles...

any React Native performance experts willing to lend a hand? i’ve been debugging feed scrolling perf on low-end Android for the past week but couldn’t make meaningful improvements. it’s very choppy on Galaxy A12, especially when scrolling past videos (but not exclusively). any help is appreciated!

Just deactivated my Twitter account, and remembered I had a second unused one from some software dev I did years ago, so thought I'd deactivate that as well. Logged in, and oh wow! Without any blocked accounts it's wild! Wall to wall porn, racism, transphobia and conspiracy theories!

@jenmsft.bsky.social, is there a way to search for a symbol in the Windows 11 Emoji keyboard, in the same way you can search for Emojis? I was looking for the Pi symbol, but couldn't see it scrolling through the list. I'm not convinced it's there, but I might have missed it. Thanks!
