Wine 11 réécrit la gestion des jeux Windows sous Linux au niveau du noyau avec NTSYNC : +678% de FPS sur Dirt 3, de 26 à 77 FPS sur Resident Evil 2. Fini les workarounds esync/fsync, la synchronisation se fait enfin directement dans le kernel. ⬇️

Wine 11 rewrites how Linux runs Windows games at the kernel level, and the speed gains are massive
Wine 11 is the biggest jump for Linux gaming in years.

One of my real pet hates with Windows 11 is the fact that you can only have the taskbar on the bottom of the screen. On my personal Linux machines I have it on the left of my leftmost monitor, as I used to with MacOS and in Windows 7, 8.1 and 10

If the agency you hired is using AI generated images like this, they are doing you a disservice, over-charging you and doing irreparable damage to your brand. The thought of doing that makes us sick at @set.studio, so if you're looking for an agency that actually cares, check us out. set.studio
An AI generated image for Chery of 2 rulers, captioned "Platinum lasts longer. Over 200km longer." 

"We didn't test for the brochure, we tested for the real world."

The problem is, the ruler's measurements are a hodge-podge of random numbers.

A CSS Custom Properties quirk I just stumbled upon Consider this `color: var(--theme-defined-color, var(--fallback-color));` If I set `--theme-defined-color: inherit`, it is rendering `--fallback-color`, not the color defined in the parent element. Why is that?

Tossing ideas around in my brain about an article on the term "Artisanal" in Web Development - particularly in this era of AI, Vibe Coding, Slop, and Frameworks. It hasn't coalesed into a resonable set of points yet. But when it does, I'll post it

Our indy web agencies are struggling. I know first hand the incredible quality of Set Studio’s work and I’d urge anyone who needs a bit of website love (or indeed a new one) to hit them up. Likewise, if you’ve got a bit of learning budget kicking about, get yourself a piccalilli course.

It’s been a very hard year - Andy Bell
Unlike a lot of places in tech, my company, Set Studio/Piccalilli has no outside funding. Bootstrapped is what the LinkedIn people say, I think. It&#8217;s been a hard year this year. A very hard year...

Andy is a legend, and the course he has produced alongside some brilliant people including his team at @piccalil.li are top notch. If you have a project in mind for 2026, hit up @set.studio And/Or maybe make upskilling your Holiday treat to yourself this December!

Completed the first few lessons of this course over my lunch break. @scott.is has the most calm and comforting delivery of material that is outside my comfort zone. I cannot recommend this course enough. It's like a tattoed hug!
