This Copilot panel in VS Code doesn't seem to like being in a narrow window, despite this panel consistently defaulting to a narrow width.

A screenshot of a panel from Microsoft VS Code showing a Copilot offer. At the top of the panel reads the text "Enjy 10% off MAI-Code-1.1-Flash" with a close button. Below that text is a tall line of single characters to the left (accidentally reading top-to-bottom) with a button to the right taking up the usable space.

Umm... @adobe.com, what are the students doing with your products?

Played around a bit with Meta's newly-released Astryx design system. Certainly not a game-changer, but it seems well thought out and executed. There are some really silly issues in their examples that make me think no one actually tried them out, though. astryx.atmeta.com

Well, that's certainly an interesting product image choice for SpaghettiOs.

You'd think #Facebook would be a great example of production #React code given #Meta owns both, but taking a look under the hood reveals many basic implementation flaws. I was curious why some date text was not aligned, only to find that each letter is a canvas wrapped in a span.

It's become increasingly obvious that #Google as we know it has died.

Google search results for 'how many P's are in google' - the AI overview claims there are 2 "p"s in the word Google, and if you meant the letters o, there are 2 of those as well.

While #Meta lays off 8,000 employees, #Facebook Marketplace says these cities are within 40 miles of Springfield, MO: - Tucson, AZ (1,236 miles) - Phoenix, AZ (1,090 miles) - Idaho Falls, ID (1,123 miles)

Been asked a few times how I built the Artemis II tracker, so I've written it all up. The trajectory maths, the NASA APIs, the telemetry fallback I bodged together on splashdown day. All of it. overton.cloud/projects/a-t-l-a-s/ #ArtemisII #NASA #WebDevelopment #JavaScript #ThreeJS

We always knew #Oklahoma suffered in education, but for @ou.edu to publicly admit they favor sports and religion to knowledge is a bold move. I guess a degree from #OU is worthless now?

I keep seeing people post stuff like "a single AI picture uses an entire bottle of water." Hate #AI all you want, but this is a ridiculous statement. I should hope an obvious one at that.

This headline hits a little different if you're a fan of British sci-fi. #doctorwho

The Steam community notes on the new #Fallout Anniversary edition are great - literally hundreds of pages of fans acknowledging how poorly @bethesdastudios.com treats their fans by offering these complete garbage updates. Truly remarkable how much they missed the target here.

I was expecting the #SteamFrame to launch, but didn't anticipate this #SteamMachine. It looks pretty neat! I'm probably one of the last remaining users of the hardware #SteamLink, which is still a great device years later.

Setting up my new #NikonZf and realizing just how many settings I had customized in my last camera. Out of the box it felt so different, despite being very similar to my old #NikonZ6II. Looking forward to trying this bad boy out!

Ran into an interesting phenomenon just now: broken text formatting caught my attention and actually made me read part of a terms of service documentation. Also apparently Microsoft is "quite relaxed about what you do" with Halo.

A screenshot of Halo terms of service in Steam. The text has line breaks that cause sentences to be cut off in incorrect areas, causing a lot of unused space.

The iPhone Air has to be one of the worst designed products in recent history. It's not any thinner thanks to the giant camera section, but they sure did remove a lot of space for that battery. Seriously, why can't a phone have a flat back? Make. it. one. thickness.

Excited to take a dip into the latest #NoMansSky updates! Unfortunately I think I will have to abandon my old save with 98 hours as it's been so long I have no idea what's going on.

Wiped my screen because I thought there was some dust - instead, I discovered this very important button on Amazon has a bunch of broken styling under the hood and there's some extra text being cut off. This is the curse of being a #webdeveloper

A screenshot of a checkout section on an Amazon.com cart - the "proceed to checkout" button has some extra dots below the text.

A screenshot of the same section as the previous image, but with dev tools allowing some text to be displayed. Here, we can see that the dots are actually the text "Check out Amazon Cart" below the main button text, mostly cut off.

This commercial is great! Really didn't expect the #Samsung reveal, though -- they have barely been in the #VR market besides the Gear which was short-lived to say the least. But damn, is this commercial good.

Major news outlets are reporting about #AI tools using phrases like "ChatGPT admitted XYZ." No, it's a program - it responded, it output, it returned a value. Only humans admit. #ChatGPT is nothing but a tool. It is not a person. Do not treat or think of it like one!

🤔 If you open a PDF in #GoogleChrome, you can see the same icon used for two different purposes: one in the main toolbar to show your downloads, and another to download the PDF you're viewing. Both icons could make sense individually, but next to each other this is obviously a silly #UX mistake.

A screenshot of the top right area of Google Chrome, showing the main toolbar on top with an open PDF's toolbar beneath. Both toolbars contain an icon with an arrow pointing into a bin, but serve two different purposes.
