So you're saying...I must never restart Teams, ever again. Tricky. (I have to use Teams for a client.) #AI #LLM

Ah, DOS. My first professional programming job was for a DOS product company. By Adam Koford (www.akoford.com). #Art #Humor #DOS

Cartoon of a bat in an executive chair with charts on the wall behind it with captions "Dealership Goals" and "Truck Sales" and a toy car on the desk along with papers. The caption is AUTOEXEC.BAT.

Kind of enjoying the waves being made by my CPU meter...

A line chart of 16 CPU cores with lots of activity making for a squiggly series of lines.

Being invited to share the fact I sponsored Hachyderm.io by...posting on X. 👀 😆 #Hachyderm #donate #humor

A dialog box saying "Make your sponsorship go further when you share on social media." with the suggested post content "I just sponsored hachyderm. Go sponsor your open source dependencies!" with a "Post on X" button.

@tomek For me it's more like this...and I can see the writing on the wall. 😨

Chart with two arrows, both rising from left to right. The top one is labelled "The age I consider 'old'". The bottom one is labelled "My age." The "My age" arrow has a slightly steeper angle than the "The age I consider 'old'" arrow, showing that they're slowing converging.

Ack! What did they do to Robbie's legs?!?! #ForbiddenPlanet #RobbieTheRobot

TV detective Columbo getting handed some key or something by Robbie the Robot from Forbidden Planet, except his legs have been replaced by some other lower section (looks like it's wheels under a cover?).

@reillypascal.bsky.social Thanks, that's interesting and useful. I can't replicate the issue with the underline continuing under the icon if you use `::after`. If I use the following, I get what it seems like you (and I) want: a[href*="//"] […] [Original post on hachyderm.io]
