Browsing for font inspiration and came across @liebefonts.bsky.social 's biro handwriting font. It's incredible! liebefonts.com/fonts/liebeh...

LiebeHeide Color Font · LiebeFontsAmazingly real looking handwritten messages with LiebeHeide color font This new digital font not only contains the latest font technology…liebefonts.com

I'm not sure if it's because I have a lot of CSS custom properties (not that many in the grand scheme of things) but I'm finding in Firefox Dev Tools changing the values of custom properties doesn't seem to do anything any more. Anyone else?

So a little bird told me that Pixel Pioneers on 19 June only has a few tickets left, so snap them up! I'm gutted I can't make it this year. You can get 15% off with the code PIXEL15 - if you've been on the fence this is your sign to buy your ticket!

The least realistic thing about Heated Rivalry is that they fully punctuate their texts to each other. Sorry but there's no way Ilya Rozanov uses full stops

I've been on a bit of a social media hiatus, but I've written a new post about something that's been on my mind a lot lately localghost.dev/blog/stop-ge...

Stop generating, start thinking - localghostInstead of wanting to learn and improve as humans, and build better software, we’ve outsourced our mistakes to an unthinking algorithm.localghost.dev

greatly aggrieved that our capitalist society does not support my life goal of being a big toasty cinnamon bun

In a time where the industry is dominated by AI hype and ruthless capitalism, @ffconf.org never fails to remind us of the human side of tech. I hope we never lose that!

This is one of my biggest gripes with AI generated code. People don't understand what they're committing and that's so dangerous. #ffconf with @jesslynnrose.bsky.social & @edaeren.bsky.social

If anyone would like a Fastmail referral code, let me know...! #ffconf

For anyone at #ffconf looking for alternative news sources I also recommend @404media.co

In 2019, @laurakalbag.bsky.social gave a talk at #ffconf that convinced me to drop Google where possible, and I've been a Fastmail user since. Today, @chetbox.com is giving the spiritual successor to that talk, exploring Big Tech's influence over politics, our data, and the oversaturation of AI

The first talk of the day at #ffconf highlighted the still-abysmal gender and ethnicity disparity in the tech industry. As long as data is compiled and processed by a non-diverse group, we can't train models and build products that could ever be anything but biased.

It's #ffconf day!!!!
